All three movies would have been greatly improved if someone had shoved Jar Jar Binks out of an airlock early in Episode I.
And even better if someone shoved Anakin right on after him.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

She is as special to me now as she was then. I smile a lot that day. Almost as much as I do the following day as she and I discuss Star Wars-related porn in the make-up trailer.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That was a lovely article.

I think I need to something (TV, movie, watev) with Simon, Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton because they are the ultimate geeks. Maybe some Nick Frost as well.

You know Felicia's YouTube channel has Wil doing game reviews and they play the games, including with people like Seth Green.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I wish I had time to keep up with Tabletop, as it's fun watching Wil and a bunch of geek icons playing games together. (Wil and Jeri Ryan doing the "bridge shaking routine" while playing Star Trek Catan was fantastic.)

Saw The Revenant with my daughter, yesterday. Went in totally blind, not really knowing what it was about other than it had Tom Hardy and Leonardo DiCaprio in it and someone being left for dead. I was completely blown away. By all the actors. I would have never guessed that the Captain, played by Domhnall Gleeson, also plays General Hux in TFA. No freaking way. Bill Weasley has sure grown up.
I saw today that Leo got a Golden Globe for it as did the movie. Totally deserved, as far as I'm concerned, but then I haven't seen any of the other movies that were nominated, so you can take my opinion with a whole salt mine.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of other movies with the same story line as Revenant.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of other movies with the same story line as Revenant.
There was a film based on the same story with Richard Harris back in the mid-70s, Man in the Wilderness.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wasn't sure about seeing The Revenant, but your review pushed it onto the Will See list, Sail. Might have to wait for DVD, though. Such movies are often too overwhelming for me to sit through without a break.
