I lost all interest in SW when I had to sit through that awful Hayden Christensen. Can't stand him in anything I've seen him in since, either.<br /><br />And for the record, I thought Jar Jar was hysterical.Bratfinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199795989064872696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-34631368927265046292015-12-22T05:43:03.091+09:002015-12-22T05:43:03.091+09:00Here are some of the best "Star Wars" bi...<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Lz-HWMrlM" rel="nofollow">Here are some of the best "Star Wars" bits from the episode, including Wil's epic line.</a> However, it loses quite a bit without Bob Newhart's "Star Wars" character and the girls reactions to the guys' insane love affair with "Star Wars" and its real importance in real life.

It was almost like being back in the States, and I don't mean that in a good way.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-34644831807722146932015-12-21T11:04:09.261+09:002015-12-21T11:04:09.261+09:00I just read your tweet on the second viewing.

So much hope was riding on JJ Abrams. Abrams himself indirectly dissed his Star Trek-related efforts by openly confessing that his heart has always been with Star Wars—a confession that only heightened people's hopes that he would be the one to respect the franchise the most. All in all, I think he got the general feel and tone of Lucas's universe right, but even after tonight's second viewing, I'm still iffy on the storytelling.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-22630147651951024622015-12-20T18:37:47.939+09:002015-12-20T18:37:47.939+09:00The reviews have been largely positive, although s...The reviews have been largely positive, although some of the praise has been measured. I suspect that you might have had unrealistically high expectations. I'm trying to keep my expectations down for that reason. We'll see if it works. (I'll be going to see it on Tuesday.)Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.com
