    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Well Yoda was super serious in the prequels and then got feisty on Dagobah...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I wonder how much Rian Johnson actually got to write, vs the studio saying he had to include a, b, c in order to set up Episode IX. Were major character moments predetermined for him or did he get a major say in pivoting this trilogy in a new direction?

    The Ice Pirates (1984)

    Loved it as a kid. Will have to revisit!

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    He’s a Skywalker. His grandpappy was the Force itself. So a couple weeks should do it.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Seems people are split. 93% of RT critics like it, but only 54% of audiences. Polarizing entry so far.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Yeah. If you can't replace the actress and you can't CGI her, and there will be hell to pay if she dies offscreen, I am glad I am not the one trying to balance respect for Leia and respect for Carrie. If they can pull off changes to the story that deviate from the original plan and still...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    They said no CGI, but I imagine they meant no Tarkin "Rogue One" CGI. But could they use CGI to recreate a Princess Leia hologram projection (blue and grainy), showing her leading the Resistance from afar while the action focuses intimately on the newer characters? A throwaway scene here or...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    You'll be happy to know that the 2.5 hour movie is not distilled down into that 2.5 minute trailer. That being said, in retrospect, it captures the tone of the overall movie perfectly without giving too much away. I feel that is a difficult feat to pull off. Mostly, I feel like it has to do with...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Crisper's needless speculation entry. Who are Rey's parents? Who cares? The real question is the lineage of other characters! Finn: We know he was taken from his family by the First Order. Presumably he was born in First Order controlled space. This is likely also space that was extremely...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Saw it last night. So, so, so good! A major improvement on The Force Awakens! See it soon, because the minute I left the theater, I got an azcentral alert with "Five Spoilers from Star Wars". It will be impossible to escape them, I think, because there are several moments people will be talking...

    Life insurance questions

    Lots of variables that are probably different but I just signed up for a life insurance policy (or multiple policies, technically) that: 1. Covers me for $500,000 2. Covers my wife for $250,000 3. Covers all children (current and future) for $10,000 That came out to $104 per month. Based on my...

    I think it starts out warm and then the weather makes it cold. :)

    OT: TNF - Raiders vs Chiefs

    I literally flipped to the channel just in time to see Marshan Lynch's madness. That guy is so so stupid.

    Are we not learning from our past mistakes?

    I think London game are a unique animal. Jet lag, body clock, and weather are all so different. Speaking of weather, it is may be cold and wet on Sunday. Guess which team spent all week getting acclimated to that?

    OT: Circuit Court Rules Against Ezekiel Elliot

    Today was domestic violence awareness day at work. Everyone wore purple and our PIO took pictures of the group. One of my colleagues was drinking his coffee from a Dallas Cowboys mug while waiting for the photos. I told him that was in bad taste. I'm not sure he got it...

    OT: Circuit Court Rules Against Ezekiel Elliot

    The next CBA needs to come up with a compromise that takes the courts out off the table for disciplinary issues. Have a panel of three people, 1 selected by the League, 1 by the NFLPA, and 1 that is mutually-agreed upon. Have them serve 2-year terms. If either group thinks the independent...

    Cardinals at Rams (London) Preview

    Okay, so hear me out. I got home last night and found out the wife scheduled us for a family outing with the in-laws to the Pumpkin Patch at 10:30 on Sunday. We're taking our one-year-old daughter and she told me that she would rather schedule our outings around her nap schedule than a Cardinals...

    Cardinals at Rams (London) Preview

    I have been checked out of most Cards games this year, with it up on the TV, but not living and dying with each play. I guess you could say the same about the players on the team, as they limped out to a 2-3 record. The AP signing piqued my interest and 31-0 reignited that old spark. The second...

    Heroes and Goats: TB@ARI

    Gresham did everything he could to single handedly try and sabotage that win. That was just awful. Peterson makes the Rams reevaluate the gameplan for this offense, so his performance will pay dividends for at least another week.

    AZ 38 TB 33: How? Why? What's Next?

    "What's Next" is absolute chaos in the NFC. Only one team is 5-1 (Eagles). The "good" teams are either 4-2 or 3-3 for the most part. And there are a lot of them. The last 10 games of the season are going to mirror the college football season in terms of each week dramatically reshaping the...

    Who do you want to be ASU's next football coach?

    With signature wins over Oregon and Washington, did Graham secure another year? I'd say that if he can get 1 more upset (USC?), take care of business against Oregon State and Arizona, and make any bowl whatsoever, he is definitely safe. But maybe he already is...

    NLDS: Arizona Diamondbacks Vs Los Angeles Dodgers thread Oct 6th-???

    Welp, we have amazing options off the bench, at least. Better hope the game is close enough to use them.
