Related to the SW:E1 thread -- remember, GOTG3 reviews and feedback will inherently be invalid until real reviewers get involved. - Will Hunting Apr 23, 12:10 1
- It's like most online movie critics are just influencers these days. Consumed by their own hype, celebrity and access. -- nm* - budice Apr 23, 12:15

since this is going around, don't kid yourself millennials. we knew Phantom Menace was bad at any age from the opening crawl -- (link) - hollywood big shot Apr 23, 11:11 18
- I'll argue in the positive for them (I'm not big fan of those films) but they were kids when those came out. They were aimed for kids... - Remlik Apr 23, 12:42
- A LOT of people here told me Reagen and me otherwise for many years. - The Allfather Apr 23, 12:23
- Crippling disappointment and acceptance that Lucas lucked into his original success. - Will Hunting Apr 23, 11:43 3
  - didn’t luck. he just let real writers do the scripts. and Marcia’s editing -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 23, 11:45 2
    - Maybe luck is the wrong word -- he believed in his own bullshit which just illustrated how little he understood his creation. - Will Hunting Apr 23, 11:49

        I dunno. The 1-3's are at least consistent in tone / concepts. The 7-9's are schizophrenic in tone / concepts. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 23, 12:43
      - They had a chance to not end up that way, but they made the fatal mistake of listening to feedback. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 11:44 5
        
        JJ did okay with Episode 7 -- fan-service isn't bad nostalgia... but the yo-yo between 8 & 9 was unforgiveable - Will Hunting Apr 23, 11:46 1
        
        JJ rewrote episode 4 for 7, had zero clue how to pick up after Rian and threw it all out for the final movie, which should have been 2 films. - Remlik Apr 23, 12:46
        
        Rian had cool ideas, and then they got scared of neckbeards. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 11:45 2

Kraken playoff hockey is here. What does it mean for the city of Seattle? - crash davis 😺 Apr 23, 09:40 9
- Is there a date for the final, or is that dependent on how many games each round take? I'll be in Seattle May 9th. -- nm - Meg ⛵ Apr 23, 10:42 5
  - I don't believe it is set in stone because of how long or short each series will be. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Apr 23, 10:46 4
    - Maybe one day it'll be like the Super Bowl which is scheduled way in advance. Guess hockey needs to be way more popular for that. -- nm - Meg ⛵ Apr 23, 10:57 3
      - It's more an issue with the scheduling. A sweep is literally a week delta between a 7-game series in hockey / basketball. - Will Hunting Apr 23, 11:54 1
        
        and also played at a neutral site for the final. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 12:56
      - It's impossible to set a hard date in the same way that baseball and basketball can't. -- nm* - Reagen Apr 23, 11:34
