The Minsky Moment

The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

It's crazy good.

Serious? Huh.

I was going to wait for reviews.

Damn I thought George Lucas was bad, he was an amateur when it comes to whoring out Star Wars compared to Disney. Everything is freaking Star Wars, I bet you could buy light saber condoms. That has been a bit of a turnoff but I am trying not to hold that against the movie.

Serious. The soundtrack, the acting, the visuals, the story, everything was good. The trailer had me thinking it would be bad but I think it was misleading on purpose.

I mean, they could've toned down the referential stuff and gone new, but it gives me great hope for VIII. Which I'm sure will then fail accordingly.

Was Episode VII A New Hope?

Sorry.

Anyway yeah they could be setting us up like they did with the Star Trek reboot.

One scene reminded me too much of the dreaded Unobtainium scene in Avatar. It was satire on the previous movies but it seemed to not be aware of it even if Abrams must have been.

Well, it was good as I said. The forest fighting scene was ace.

I heard Han dies.

[spoiler]In a heart wrenching scene, but Finn will be a good replacement, he was already better in this movie. That said, Ford delivered well above expectations, he seemed much more comfortable back in this role than as Indiana Jones[/spoiler]

How spoilertastic should this thread be?
