  1. Had this been the trailer, my reaction would have been totally different. It's still Paul Feig, so I'm skeptical, but this looks much better.
  2. BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
  3. The ghosts look like Ben Kenobi's force ghost on LSD. They don't look like apparitions or specters at all.
  4. I don't like Paul Feig's comedy. Or Judd Apatow's for that matter. I don't find most modern, popular comedies funny. I like humor that's smart, witty, or even better, satirical. Paul Feig's work is none of those things. But that's all besides the point: the trailer stinks. You want to call me a misogynist for not liking a trailer of a movie that you really like, well, that doesn't say very much about you, does it?
  5. For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure there was a movie in the past year or so where I recall ragging on the trailer pretty hard, and the movie itself ending up being good. Don't remember what movie it was, though.
  6. I don't have much use for the hate being thrown at this thing by misogynist clowns. It's as stupid as the trailer is unfunny.
  7. How can one not point fingers at Lindelof? He mangles everything he touches. Sure, maybe JJ should stop working with him, but he had no role in this movie. And if the Hosnian Prime explosion is JJ's great crime in TFA, then I'd say he did quite well.
  8. I understand that I am out of touch with what most of the modern movie-going public considers funny. Most probably thing this looks hysterical; frankly, I don't find this trailer to be the least bit funny or interesting. And really, I don't like any of Paul Feig's work at all. So, yeah...
  9. JJ didn't write either of the Trek movies. Kasdan constantly pushed JJ to slim down and simplify the narrative as much as possible, and to "trust the audience." Kasdan wasn't on board as a script doctor; his work is a significant part of what you see on the screen, and he had his hands on all of it. It's all there in their interviews together. The story we got was heavily molded by Kasdan. And, nitpicks aside, I love this movie. Edit: You can't exactly tell how Rey turns the saber on, but her thumb never goes near the button that Finn wrongly uses.
  10. Looks like Revan is going to be made canon.
  11. The Hosnian Prime thing bothered me too. 1. They cut the scene that tells us that it's the capital and the significance of the people we see getting blown up, and 2. The crowd standing around outside at Maz's watching it get blown up is just not believable. Even if it's a close, neighboring system. We know they have hyperspace communication. There are other ways they could have found out that are still dramatically compelling. Edit: John Boyega is the only one handling a saber who turns it on wrong.
  12. The Revenant had some significant story issues.
