None of the above. I like Nightmare on Elm Street though. I'm too embarrassed to type the name of the movie. In my defense it had Demi Moore in it but it also had Emilio Estevez (for the younger members, he's Charlie Sheen's brother)... BTW, I did not say the movie was good...

dcdfan Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Wisdom for the win. I seriously hope you had to google that... Quote
MarleyMoose Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I did, but I'm old enough to remember smoking hot Demi in 80's movies. 2 Quote

jaisonline Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Pretty good sample of reviews. Looks like the film will be ranked up there with Empire and A New Hope. Pretty cool. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/star-wars-the-force-awakens-gets-the-nostalgia-novelty-mix-just-right/2015/12/15/c2e8a38e-a365-11e5-b53d-972e2751f433_story.html?hpid=hp_no-name_hp-in-the-news%3Apage%2Fin-the-news http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2015/12/16/review-star-wars-the-force-awakens/77342318/ http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/18/movies/star-wars-the-force-awakens-review.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=second-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0 http://entertainment.suntimes.com/movies/star-wars-force-awakens-review-thrills-strong-one/ note: not that it matters much but Adam F.

Locutus001 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I'll be watching this movie on monday (VIP seats ;-) ) together with my best friend in OV! I'm soooo looking forward to this! I'm only confused that there are not MORE OV screenings here in Germany. I've seen the german trailer and compared to the OV it kind of... well it just didn't transport the same atmosphere. My favorite is Episode V ;-) Guess it's pretty strong (as the Empire strikes back! ^.^) Quote

The same can be said for comedy movies like Sixteen Candles compared to what we see today. We were of different mindset back then, technology was different and the way people shot movies was different. Anyone can try, but I don't know if it can really ever be replicated. Quote

jaisonline Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 i'm happy about the positive reviews so far but see, here is my deal. i just want to see one jawa or sandcrawler in the 135 min film. i'm not asking for much. honestly, who would want to live in a downed star destroyer or at-at anyway when a sandcrawler is available.

Yeah, um, those scenes from the trailer take place on Jakku, not Tattooine where the Jawas live. I don't think we're going to see any previously seen planets in this film. Quote

KShine Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Clone Wars Movie was likely the 8th. 1 Quote

I don't think we're going to see any previously seen planets in this film. i knew those jawas were prob too cheap to invest in rockets for sandcrawlers although some SSD, x-wings and ISDs did crash on Jakku. rey and the salvagers prob got to the parts before the jawas. ugh. 1 Quote

Locutus001 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 So all the friends of mine who've already seen it agree that it won't be disappointing. So far so good :-) Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 T minus 29 hours until my 3D showing. I am not standing outside when it is 20 degrees tonight and I cannot get out of work earlier than that tomorrow Quote
