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 there are these weird rumors of Disney overriding JJ's creative decisions, and some mystical 3-hour cut of the movie. It's like the revenge of the Snyder cut.
Naturally, because the main thing this hot mess of JJA cliches was missing was...45 minutes more of that?

If it included an explanation of what the hell Palpatine was doing back from the dead I might deem it a marginal improvement.
Though if it's something like "he had a Horcrux", maybe not.
I'm okay with the idea of him using his mastery of the Dark Side to turn himself into a sort of Sith Lich (say that three times fast) but I'd like to know how he managed to unexplode himself.

Maybe he's part sponge and his cells just gradually stick themselves back together afterwards. Then we just need a solution for him to float around in until he's done.
Headcanon accepted.
Uhm, if you're accepting JJ Abrams headcannon as something plausible, then I'm worried for you.
I'm accepting billytea's canon. Haven't actually seen RoS yet, but I am here for Palpatine being part sponge

As an added bonus, in his final scenes when he's hanging on a stick he'll be good for cleaning all those hard-to-reach places as well.
Yes, that feels right
I dragged my 10 yo niece and sister-in-law to see Little Women over the holidays. The niece was sadly indifferent to it, but the SiL cried buckets and declared herself a fan. I loved it just as much the second time around and am seriously thinking about going to see it the third time (I mean, I have the AMC A-list membership so technically it won't cost me anything extra). The world is terrible and apparently this is my happy place now? I am OK with that!
A bit sad that I don't have any wish to go see TRoS again. (I went to see TFA like 5 times in the theater, and TLJ 3 times.) I had been much more fannish about the sequel trilogy than the original and now am feeling very meh about it all. Ah well. *philosophical shrug* Fannish circle of life, etc.
So, Golden Globes was last night and the big winner was Sam Mendes' 1917, which is opening wide this weekend. On one hand, the news cycle is REALLY not making me want to see a war movie, no matter how well-made. On the other hand, Roger Deakins!
I did go see Bombshell before I left for the holidays. It was alright.
