It's harsh to criticise a nostalgia project for being a nostalgia project but Rogue One is the ultimate nostalgia project. After this and Episode VII: Episode IV II, it's hard to not want something new. Good for what it was though.
 
The Magnificent Seven was perfectly meh, formulaic, cookie cutter.

The good guys had a good Indian and the bad guys had a bad indian, and the two of them squared off during the final big gang war.

Very 1988 action film of them

Ooh, lengthy.
 
☆☆☆☆☆ It's a Wonderful Life
☆☆☆ Sully, Rogue One, Bleed For This, Moana and Office Christmas Party
☆☆ The Birth of a Nation

The hype is real, It's a Wonderful Life is fantastic. It edges out Green Room, Anomalisa and Swiss Army Man to take film of the year.

The Birth of a Nation made me laugh at a slave movie. A fucking SLAVE movie.
 
Yeah, well, that's whitey for you.

Did they remake It's a Wonderful Life or is it still the "Merry Christmas, movie house!" one?
 
Went to see Rogue One as a reward for finishing my Christmas shopping.

It was definitely alright but Jin/Gin/not Rae made me miss Rae so much. At least she was able to say a complete sentence without pausing for breath in the middle.

Forest Whittaker seemed to be channeling some Broken Matt Hardy which was a definite plus.
 
Rogue One had the opposite effect on me. Jyn is infinitely more likable than Rey (at this point), and Rey (at this point) is totally a Mary Sue. That's the benefit of being able to actually do a stand alone movie versus the first of a trilogy. Both have their merits, but I loved Rogue One.
 
Mark Rhodes - no, me neither - was just on Celebrity Mastermind and his specialist subject was nineties WWF. He got twelve questions out of twelve correct; I got eleven when I mistakenly said Hawk and Animal were collectively known as The Road Warriors in the WWF. Boy was my face red!

All nineties? Because if it includes even two questions from 93-96 then he deserves whatever you win on Mastermind.

Examples of questions:

The winners of which event, traditionally held in January, include Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan?
What is the name of The Undertaker's brother?
Who was the first woman to hold the intercontinental title, defeating Jeff Jarrett?

So no, not particularly hard.

It transpires that there is such a thing as a film being too obtuse for me, though I guess we already learned that lesson from The Assassin. Swiss Army Man, that's my level of obtuse.
 
I'm disappointed with myself, I just spent about 5 minutes wracking my brain trying to think of the name of Undertaker's real life brother before realizing that question probably meant from a kayfabe point of view. That's even worse than Sam's LoD goof. I'mma just go sit in the corner of my room for a bit.

Merry Christmas, you filthy animal.
 
Agree with Star Trek Beyond. The only saving grace was the classic Spock/Nimoy exchanges modernized and some good space ship explosion effects. :shrug: A shame considering the talent involved.
