Rate the last movie you saw.

Rogue 1. I'll give it 7.5-8.0 out of 10. It has a LOT of plot elements from ROTJ. Perhaps a bit more original than E7, but where E7 took E4 and mixed in plot elements from E5/E6...R1 feels like they took E6 and mixed in plot elements from E4/E5.

We'll see how it holds up with time. I didn't recognize a lot of the rehash in E7 either...until later.

p.s.
I guess we're changing canon to say "Many humans died" instead of "Many Bothans died"?

Going to see it tomorrow. (R1)

I liked Rogue one more than Force Awakens.

As I watched Force Awakens in the theater I was totally aware that we were watching the plot to A new hope retold. Rogue 1 tells its own story. We know the ending but we did not know the story that got us there.

I didn't get the feeling i was watching E4 while seeing E7 for the first time. It sunk in after that. I DID feel like I was watching E6 plot elements the entire time I was seeing R1. Not the same overall story, mind you--but enough of E6's plot elements to raise an eyebrow. My sister saw it today--I said NOTHING about it to her before hand--and the first thing she said was "it kinda felt like Jedi all over again".

nuff said.

are you sure?

Yeah, I realized that later I'd mixed up the two. Bothans didn't die in R1. My starry-eyed childhood died watching R1.

The Hateful 8

2/10. terrible. beyond predictable and boring. seriously did people like this crap just because it's a QT movie and was bad?

5/10. very ok. frankly I would have turned it off but I kept thinking, "ok it's about to get good..." but nope. it's basically 2.5hrs of Leo D getting the shit kicked out of him and Tom Hardy talking like he's got a mouth full of gravel. so boring.

This is one I'd have to slightly disagree on. And I'm no fan of Leo either. Maybe it didn't have to be 2 hours and 40 minutes long but I thought it was a decent flick.

I liked Hateful 8. It was entertaining, I thought. Certainly not an earth shattering movie, but at least decent.

Haven't seen The Revenant. Looks a little boring and for sure way longer than my attention span. :/ I'm sure I'll watch it someday, but I'm not specifically paying money for it.

You have HBO, right? It's on there now. That's where I watched it.
