Was it nightmare on elm street?

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...

note: not that it matters much but Adam F. Goldberg (huge SW nut and creator of The Goldbergs TV show) tweeted his ranking after the LA Premier : "Ranking: 1. Empire Strikes Back. 2. Force Awakens. 3. A New Hope. 4. Return of the Jedi. 5 - 8 Prequels. Thank you JJ."

Interesting that he's somehow seen 8 Star Wars movies.

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! ^.^)

Can any movie today capture the same atmosphere of a movie in the '70s or '80s?   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.

Episode I is so great he counted it twice

My favorite is Episode V

Based on everything I have read Episode VII is a home run and will become my number one favorite

Seeing all of the positive feedback/ reviews about this movie has made me beyond excited, I was born into the meh prequel trilogy so this will be the first truly great Star Wars movie that I'll be able to see in theaters!

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.

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.

Eh... the GERMAN trailer didn't transport the same atmosphere as the ENGLISH trailer ;-)
