The slow motion space chase was silly, but Star Wars has always been pretty silly. 

 

 

 

I actually really like the Kylo and Ren dynamic. There were basically three movies happening in TLJ, and the Luke-Ren-Kylo relationship was easily the most interesting and had the best acting. But really, it's space fantasy. I've said it before, take it way less seriously people.

I dunno, there's silly and then there's just stuff you can't buy in universe. Such as why does a capital ship need to provide cover for starfighters. Especially after two of them near decapitated the Rebel fleet.

In a movie series where starfighters (well and a modified light freighter) destroyed two Death Stars, the Starkiller Base and the Executor no less. Oh and Poe took out a dreadnaught's entire defensive weaponry with a single X-Wing. All without capital ship support. The whole chase scene falls apart considering that within well established series canon the First Order would have just launched every TIE available and easily intercepted a single cruiser with a frigate and a corvette for support. Especially since the movie actually shows Ren's Silencer and its escort having heavy missiles.

 

The ragtag rebels had B-Wings capable of destroying Star Destroyers 25 years before this movie happened.

Haha and now I remember the stupid space WW2 bombers. Did they ever heard of something called physics? I don't think so.

 

Come on, you can hand wave A LOT in movies, but all this crap is just too much.

Star Wars has sound in space.

In a movie series that has ships flying by with screeching sound experiencing the doppler effect as they go by...do you have to ask?

 

That said, I'm pretty sure the director and producers have said the bombs were designed to propel themselves via a magnetic lock onto their target...

 

EDIT: NINJA'D!

The sound in space is emulated for the benefit of the pilot. It's as good an explanation as magnetic lock bombs. Except bombers in Star Wars in the past could launch self-propelled bombs. No need for launch bays.

Parsecs are distance, lightsabers are lasers that somehow just stop in midair, and people talk to ghosts.

Why does the audience hear the sound when they're outside of the ships though; wouldn't it only make sense to hear the emulated sounds when we're viewing ship interiors?

There's that scene in ESB that has TIE Bombers dropping ordnance on asteroids in much the same fashion. Unless the asteroids are made of strongly ferromagnetic minerals, the magnetic thing don't fly.

 

But really, why bother with fighters, bombing runs, and general heroics? Just slap a hyperdrive on a hot dog stall and point it at the "problem". Pow, we win, let's go for some death sticks.

 

I mean, sure. Star Wars is basically synonymous with "rule of cool". But it's lame af to write a deus ex machina that renders the whole plot of the previous movies moot... twice.

That would have been a great way for Ackbar to go out rather than some Admiral that's very new (I think she's in some comic book?)

Except sound does exist in space.

 

In time, too.

Its a deadpool 2 trailer so warning on language:

 

"So dark...are you sure your not from the DC Universe?" 

Huh, that last Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom trailer looks like it's for a completely different flick than the other two trailers.

Did anyone post that here?

 

 

That shot in the water reminded me that The Meg trailer came out:

 

Jaws for the 21st Century

Looks like same stuff as always. I'll be surprised if that new Jurassic Thing will be mediocre at best.

If anything, at least we'll get nice new images out of Bayona as director. Honestly, even as a Jurassic Park fanboy since youth the only reason that I'm hyped for this is Bayona. This is a screenshot from the trailer, not a poster:

We watched this last night and had a good laugh.

Sharknado!

PS. It seems I was pronouncing symbiote wrong.

 

No, the trailer is wrong.

I smell a Fant4stic.

I don't know, Tom Hardy is a pretty dang good actor. It might not be great, but he will probably keep it in the watchable territory.

That's somewhat disappointing but I'll still probably be there on opening day
