Laughs. Cheers. Sniffles. Applause.

And, FFS, I was right there with them. A far better film that Force Awakens. A little scattered and long in the tooth, but a worthy entry with some real poignent moments poignant. It didn't feel like the dreaded "fan service" of Abrams' entry -- or, at least, a different kind of "fan service" -- expectations were telegraphed and then upended on several occasions which was nice.

I'm genuinely curious as to what the folks who hate this third triology want to see. What would be in your ideal contemporary SW movie? Did you like the prequels?

That's all for now.

holy ****: Last Jedi eyeing $45m Thurs nite slipping jimmy Dec 14, 22:38

(80% of Force Awakens $57m Thursday, which would be $198m o.w. if that percentage held through Sunday) {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 14, 22:43

80% on Thursday? Really? We go to movies on Fri, Sat or Sun. Maybe we're missing all those crowds on Thursday! Thanks! {nm} What's a Handle? Dec 14, 23:31

TFA had 100M in presale, question is how much was Thurs for comparison. Plus I know people who bought Baron_Darcon2017 Dec 15, 00:05

RT audience score at 74% vs TFA at 89%. Originally TFA was higher but decreased over time. Lots more negative Baron_Darcon2017 Dec 15, 00:18

Dropped to 71% by the time I posted previous post. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Dec 15, 00:21

What's a hatey boner? I'm just an HSX player trying to have fun. Aren't we all? {nm} Tuck Frump Dec 15, 00:41

How can someone predict weekend box office results based on what... Premonition? A guess? Nice. pennystocks2 Dec 15, 03:02

RT audience at 68% If this a divisive as BvS 63% as I think it will be... the Force will not be with TLJ long term. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Dec 15, 03:42

Screw critics! It's the audience that buys tickets and the audience is st 63% already which means word of mouth Baron_Darcon2017 Dec 15, 07:02

Down to 60%. {nm} -JPV- Dec 15, 09:20

Sorry to have to break it to you Baron but, as of this morning RT is showing it at 93% Fresh. {nm} magicdreamer Dec 15, 06:53

He's talking about audience score, not critics. {nm} -JPV- Dec 15, 08:11

Where it's at 61% now. {nm} -JPV- Dec 15, 08:12

And Jimmy, that should read $45M+ as the headline of the article states. And those are Deadline sources so not neccessarily 100% accurate. {nm} magicdreamer Dec 15, 06:56

Mine hated it and rioted in the streets, burning cars and screaming for Rian Johnson's head on a spike! {nm} -JPV- Dec 15, 09:17
