JCC Embrace The FU - Formerly the STAR WARS IS BAD thread

what the hell is that ?

 

a steam room, and the fourth gif appears to be Donald Trump?

 

it looks like some perverted genital creature designed by Robert Crumb for a David Cronenberg movie .

 

I mean, I said it looked like Trump.

 

The one-eyed alien has a novella of their own, in the Canto Bight anthology:

Well he better not start singing , we don't want to go down that road again .

 

Wearing different clothes again

 

To click the "spoiler" will be in the Han Solo movie or not to click? This is difficult. Do I even care about being spoiled for a movie I'm this unexcited for?

 

It's really not a big deal, and not unpredictable.

To keep his pockets clean

 

That's the spoiler about who's in it? Did we actually not know that? I feel like I knew that.

 

I'm beginning to think maybe spoiler culture is a bit silly!

 

But I still don't know that . Or maybe I know what you know too , but don't know what that is , so I still don't know . I think .

 

Of course you did. More spoilers include the fact that this movie will:

1. Include quips and snappy dialogue
2. Feature several cameos from incidental/bit roles or passing comments from the OT
3. Insert its plot awkwardly into that of the OT, arguing these events were some very important
4. Be alternatively praised by corporate outlets and pilloried by bigots for what in reality is only token appearances of historically under-represented groups, usually in ways that reinforce pre-existing stereotypes.
5. Be very extremely stupid

 

6. Lull Wocky

 

The question is, will Young Lobot have hair?

oh thanks mister-spoil-the-movie-for-me .

 

looks like you just got lobot-omized!

 

Driving around town the other day, I passed a store called 'Holocron Toy Store", SW font used of course. It can't have been open long. So I was thinking a toy store who have picked a theme. So I googled it, and it is actually 100% SW merchandise. It's in a kind of odd location, and I said to the kids that it will go out of business pretty quickly because it's a bit too niche to be sustainable. I was only half joking. What's odd is I had never heard of it before, and I would have thought if they were doing any kind of push on Facebook I'd have seen some sort of ad.

So the next day we go to it, and on the way I joke again about how we have to go now as it won't be around long. As soon as we walk in, the 10 year old points to a big Porg and says "and that's why they're going out of business" (I don't know where she learned the Porg hate, it wasn't from me!)

The store itself is maybe 4,000 square feet, and is probably a collectors dream....depending on the size of his pocket book. They have the new stuff, and the vintage. I did see a MiB Yoda for $2,199, and just read an article that says they have a MiB Jawa for $20,000. The only item I was really interested in was a playset I had as a kid - Darth Vader's Meditation Chamber on his Star Destroyer. I had a lot of fun with that one.

There was only one selection of items I saw that didn't seem overpriced. The TPM first wave, which were $5-6 each. That's less than I paid for them!

 

"Buy me, Diggy"

 

I got TLJ via Google Play - anyone else noticed a distinct lack of extras via that service?

 

Retailers like VUDU, Google Play, iTunes, prime video, and Fandango Now can be connected to your "Movie Anywhere" account. If you connect your Google Play to Movies Anywhere, will that get you the extras?

 

my hwhat? What is a movies anywhere account? Explain yourself.

EDIT: "Movies Anywhere is a United States-only cloud-based digital locker and over-the-top streaming platform operated by The Walt Disney Company."

Americentrism +15.

 

It will presumably not be US-only when it becomes the movie purchasing counterpart to Disney Presents: Hulu.
