Texted with ole Fatty Sweater this week, he sent me a picture of his fry and a llama

So he’s still alivw

Almost every store I went to today had 12-20 of these today, I hope the scalpers (like Troy’s dad) got their balls stuck in the sand

One scene that has bugged me....

Leia is watching over the shield door...the Resitance crew is behind her and she says "Here they come"

The shuttle crashes and they all start firing at the wreck and out pops Finn and Rose

Why was she waiting?
Why was the door open?
Why did she say "here they come"?

The last one could be seen as Here comes the First Order...shut the door

And obviously Johnson wanted to echo the archive base door closure scene...it just didn't make much logical sense

Was that the Jedi sacred books in the drawer of the Falcon?  Rey took them before she left?

I laughed out loud when the Jetpack Maz showed up on screen...mainly because of all of the bitching done about the Jetpack Maz toy

Also including Yoda was a good tip off that Yoda was going to be in the movie...and I thought Ben as well...maybe next flick.  In the same vein as Vader and Bespin Luke were supposed to be in TFA and  got cut

I share a lot of the Canto Bight sentiments...it really was there to build up the relationship of Rose and Finn but it fell flat...and made no sense.  Why not have the hacker be part of the Resistence already and why not just have Finn use his FO knowledge to get into the ship...

I had a little trouble suspending disbelief on the slow moving get away and them just picking off ships one by one instead of full thruster assault or sending out their TIE fleet

The bombing run also had a little suspension of disbelief as well but it was still a cool sequence

Overall though I really really loved it

The 3 scenes I said mesmerized me on Twitter were:

Slicing the Super Duper Mega SD in two...it was awesome and I heard audible gasps in the audience when that happened
Luke getting bombarded by the Super Duper Mega AT-ATs at the end and coming out and brushing off his shoulder
Luke staring at the setting two suns on Ach-To was a fitting end to his physical story...can't wait to see how they use his force ghost in Episode IX

I've heard complaint about Yoda (that was my son's biggest gripe) and the Force Connection thing but I was OK with both


I don't believe Kylo in that Rey was abandoned by 2 drunks...I'm pretty sure the gave is hinting that she is like Anakin Skywalker "The New Chosen One" and was begotten, not made

Reviews are coming in and they are all really positive, I'm itching to talk about this more will wait until you all of have seen it

Just saw Homecoming...it is another great Marvel movie top to bottom, the way they skipped the whole being bitten by a radioactive Spider etc and another Green Goblin story was really well done

Ties into Civil War and the trademark balance of Humor and Action with dashes of comic lore were again tonally so much better than anything cooking right now in any Movieverse

I also loved Keaton's Vulture...and Holland is so great as Peter Parker...homerun!
