    News Round Up 2019

    It helps if you realize that movies aren't necessarily shot in sequential order. Let's say you have a scene in 2 and a scene in 3, but they're both at the same location, like the big glowy tree of life (whatever it was called). You might shoot both scenes for the two different episodes the same...

    If you look at the WDWNT article, the store-bought Mickey Bars have half the fat and 8g less sugar, so I bet they won't taste the same as the real deal. :earboy2:

    It's the timeline where they don't have to pay Adam Driver for his likeness. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, that's called "kerning" in the graphic design/page layout world. The O has more negative space around it, so usually one would tighten up the space around the O so it doesn't look like it's too far away from the W and R. Most page layout programs do this automatically. For some reason...

    I agree. Take a look at this photo. Note that the gondolas will hang below the cable guides on either side of the tower. I don't think you will be able to see this at all while standing inside France. You'd have to walk all the way over to the right edge by the wall and gazebo and even then, I'm...

    Yeah, that's why I've stopped replying to the thread in general.

    Well it seems that the naysayers have overrun this thread, including a one day old account that has only made posts in this thread. Great job, guys.

    They had a scene in TLJ showing her practicing with the lightsaber. Do they need to put in a montage with "Eye of the Tiger" playing over it? How many hours of footage of lightsaber practice do you need to see before you will give her credit for knowing how to swing a lightsaber?

    They pretty clearly showed how her staff fighting translated into her practicing with the lightsaber. In TFA she fights off two attackers while Finn watches. She knows how to fight.

    The movie had a plot, you just didn't like it.

    I didn't get the impression that she was unhappy.

    Also, there's no love triangle. Finn and Rey have never shown anything more than being close friends.

    I mean, this is the MIDDLE part of the story. All of your questions aren't going to be answered in the middle. Why is this so hard to understand? :confused3

    You completely ignored the second half of my post where I said you're going to get more in the next movie. Finn's plot wasn't useless, he learned from Rose how to be a hero instead of running, and also they inspired the kids at the casino, the "spark" of the rebellion.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Reaction and Discussion *CONTAINS SPOILERS*

    I went for my second viewing last night. Two thoughts: 1) Luke specifically says in the movie that he sensed that Snoke had already turned Ben when he was standing over him. He also says he, for a moment, thought about killing him, but then felt shame. 2) In 1983 we had no backstory for the...

    I'm perfectly fine with Rey not being related to anyone we know. I liked that it subverted some of the old Star Wars tropes. That seems to have made plenty of people upset though. Luke says "This is not going to go the way that you think." It's right there in the trailer. ;) If you want to go...

    Yes, and it's supposed to be disgusting! Luke is doing it specifically to gross out Rey and get her to leave him alone. That's the point. :crazy2:

    Hey rteetz, just wanted to add my thanks for continuing this thread for the new year. I don't post often, but I do read this thread almost every day.

    This seems like the core of the matter. People who went in with expectations seem to come out disappointed. Those of us who went in without specific expectations seem to have enjoyed it.
