TV/Movies Megathread

Oh, I meant one of the landing spots in the movie is Greenland and thus the Danish flag gets a lot of airtime.

ah, I see.
I haven't seen the movie yet
the government should have negotiated to get Quebec a landing spot, with our flag shown!

See it, it's like the only good parts from Gravity and Interstellar with a better score.

Margin Call. Liked it a lot. Amazing cast, very tight and effective script, great direction. Liked it much better than The Big Short, actually.

Yeah, it's a screenwriter's movie, alright.

Chris Stuckmann - whom I agree with most of the time regarding blockbusters - has spoken. It seems we are getting another predictable, nostalgia-heavy, safely packaged Star Wars film. And this one doesn't seem to have interesting characters to save it like TFA had.

He says it's nonetheless enjoyable, but after TFA and this one it's clear we aren't getting anything daring or interesting out of the Disney assembly line. Just generic competence. 

Still, I'll probably see it at least twice in theaters. 

Here's Kevin Smith's review of Rogue One:

Rogue One seems very un-Disney in the way it handles the main protagonists.

Wife is doing happy hour with her friends tomorrow, so I'm taking the chitlens to see it tomorrow.  I've heard mixed reviews on it.

Well, Duh.  [spoiler]The "Many Bothans died to bring us this information" scene from Return of the Jedi was the entire premise for the film.  Must be the record holder for longest example of foreshadowing in cinematic history.[/spoiler]

This is about the first Death Star not the second one.

from Star Wars opening crawl text:

     

"It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet."

That's impossible. Even for a computer.

different Death Star.  There's no mention of Bothans in the 1st movie about the 1st Death Star, only a reference to Leia receiving a transmission from a rebel ship.
