'Dirty Girls'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
And: "i get all my winter clothes at Hoth Topic"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Especially considering as soon as Pete and I were in the car, I was all "So, cry more emo kid Kylo Ren?"
The movie was fun. I am not a fervent Star Wars fan, but I had fun. I don't feel a need to watch it again any time soon, but I feel that way about the original movie, too.
Jilli, that's verbatim what I said about him!

Ha! I loved the stormtroopers overhearing his tantrum and just turning around and walking away.
There better be a damn good explanation for R2D2 waking up at that moment. Because it felt like he was ... sulking? and then decided to be helpful? I dunno.
Ha! I loved the
My headcanon is that the stormtroopers talk a LOT of shit about Kylo Ren in their barracks.
As for R2D2 waking up at the exact right time, I read an article about that, where JJ Abrams gives a weak-ass explanation for it. Let me see if I can find it...
t edit Here it is (I made it a TinyURL so that hovering over the link won't be spoilery): [link]
Yeah, JJ's explanation is kind of lame. Apparently R2 is running on Windows ME.
JJ's explanation is that R2 magically woke up at a emotionally convenient point in the story, and had been helpfully carrying around all the maps everyone needed for 38 years. Yeah, I'm good with that.
Having read the phrase "the robot version of crushing depression" (thanks, EW!), I stand by my opinion that R2D2 was sulking.
Daniel, your last pairing is spoilery.
Which one, the one I had white fonted, or the one I just added white font to?
I think that R2D2 actually was programmed to wake in the presence of Rey. I suspected at the end that she is Luke's daughter.
I think I'm going to see it earlier than planned, as my cousin Betsy (whose taste in entertainment mirrors mine almost perfectly) absolutely loved it and I want to be able to discuss it with her at the family gathering Thursday afternoon.
