"Oh my god, Sam, the new Star Wars movie that just came out has an actor playing a bad ass mercenary. And he's blind. Just like you. You want to go see it Friday?"

"I can't fucking see."

The person will have to wait til it comes out on TV. "This program is available in Described Video, for the Visually Impaired."
 
I'm going to see it with my Autistic friend tomorrow, I was really looking forward to it but after some of his behavior I'm dreading it now.

First off, he has an OCD thing that he doesn't want "spoilers" about a film before he sees it, to the point of not wanting to see trailers, posters, toys in stores, magazine covers showing the characters, etc. If he sees these he does a big show of angrily covering them up, disrupting the store.

I was with him a few days ago and just tried to make conversation about the film, saying, "do you think there will be a space battle with x-wings", and he suddenly screamed "no - no - no" loudly at me. I said, I don't have spoilers, I just wanted to speculate, and he started screaming "no no no" in my face. So I took a breath and got away from him.

Second thing, when I saw Force Awakens with him, he was visibly excited, softly clapping his hands and gasping, bobbing up and down in his seat, when the credits began. This was endearing and I told our other sci-fi friends, and I embellished a bit, saying his eyes were bugging out and stuff. He was really loving this and keeps asking me to tell the story over and over of how funny he was watching the movie.

So I am thinking he is going to want to "out do" himself watching R1 and will be trying to climb on his seat or whatever attention-seeking stuff he has planned to show the theater how excited he is. : /

Just don't sit next to this "friend". Or bring some chloroform.
 
I am so pissed off that they didn't literally stab Keanu Reaves' eyes out to play the part of Neo after he got blinded by Bane in The Matrix Revolutions.

Actually, I kind of wish somebody had stabbed my own eyes out while I was watching The Matrix Revolutions so I'd have been incapable of watching it in its entirety.

I believe I've discovered the anti-matter equivalent of salt.

I'd bet at least one hundred dollars the Cuxter dislikes the film for whatever reason #fullMcIntosh decided on.
 
I'm not a star wars fanboy by any means and I though force awakens was just rip off of a new hope, but this was by far the best star wars movie they've ever done. Disney actually went pretty dark. I mean fuck everybody died. I want a movie of just Vader kicking ass like he did in the end. So much better then force awakens. I always thought they did Vader a disservice, for such a powerful jedi he got cucked by luke who had been training for like a week. I've always rooted for the empire anyway. They got style and cool uniforms.

Oooh my bad.
I had meant the older movies made in the 70-80s

Hell yeah Darth Vader was a true badass.
Heck we need a movie set in the 20 years Darth Vader ravaged the galaxy before a new hope happened.

Just fucking stab him in his guts when the movie starts and let him bleed to death.

I'm still pissed that they didn't find an actual blind actor who had implants so he could see to play LaForge in STTNG. Ableist shitlords.

The prequels really fucked up his credibility, that's for sure.
 
RLM just released their review for Rogue One, and while I liked it, I do agree with their critiques

 
Saw it last night, hadnt read this thread or seen the trailers so i didnt have any preconceptions.

I thought it was really good. Jen didnt cone across as a badass mary sue, more a lost girl taking the off chance to be reunited with her father. the rebels are quite clearly borderline terrorists, commiting murder to tie up loose ends, feels much more like a galaxy at war than the other movies.

Didnt notice the diversity thing. The asians came from a desert planet with mystic monks and space taliban - it worked fine.

All in all probably the best starwars movie, sans tarkin and leia, tarkins first scene in particuliar needs to be redone, his later scenes were better.

People expecting it to bomb like ghostbusters are letting their politics cloud their judgement. I think its bizzarre people would read it not having a white male lead as carrying some anti white message. its a story about a wee girl trying to get back to her father, its not a 'strong indpendant women dont need no man thing' and it portrays him in a strong and sympathetic way fathers are rarely treated by hollywood. Im surprised the alt right arent all over that.
