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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Man I don't think I've ever had to catch up on this much whitefont all at once.
Like others, I am hoping that Rey isn't actually related to Luke, but is in fact a force sensitive whose awesomeness doesn't stem from any of the existing characters.
John Boyega was, as expected, awesome.
I felt conflicted about Poe at first, as he's like an attractive version of Rob Benedict (who grates on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard, despite apparently being a great guy). But I swiftly got with the program about him.
Poor Kylo Ren can't do anything right. He's not even up to the task of being the worst son of a Harrison Ford character.
My big comment to my cousin afterward, which she wholeheartedly agreed with, was "When do we get to see Leia using a lightsaber?"

Damn you movie, I swore going in that I'd enjoy you for what you were worth but not let a million tendrils into my brane.

Skipping all the SW talk. I just got back from MockingJay Pt 2. There doesn't seem to have been any discussion about it.
I was underwhelmed.

I thought it was a satisfactory conclusion to the series, quester.

Me too, but I really hated the book so I went in with pretty low expectations.

I didn't read the books, I just went to the movies. After all the excitement of the previous films, this one seemed like a let down.
