  1. "How capable are your technicians Verizon? Perhaps Star Wars Celebration should consider using a clone technical staff."
  2. someone on reddit: "At the Galaxy Stage waiting for the event to start. They're working on finding seating available for a few more people"
  3. I contributed to that 10% Canada number! There are... dozens of us!
  4. I'm going with $230M OW 2nd best OW of all-time Jesus christ this thing is a monster
  5. Box-office wise though, it's definitely one of the most important movies to have come out in the last 10 years, not only because of its gross but because of what it spawned.
  6. Or you know, some people enjoyed it enough to put it in their top 25 of the year Plus, the 1st was, in my opinion, by far the best of the 3
  7. FYC Last one because US release was 2012 (thanks to @Jake Gittes's post!)
  8. Wow only seeing this now, too busy lately, but thanks everyone involved for making that list, was a pleasure participating in it, great choices all around, and I've written down a few suggestions for future watches!
  9. My main problem with The Edge of Seventeen right there (although it's still a pretty good movie) Regardless of her attractiveness though and how much it doesn't work in the movie, she's definitely got the acting chops. Watched True Grit recently and she fully deserved that oscar nomination -- although I call bullshit on the supporting role
  10. I have a feeling it was kind of a miss on the "rock bottom" part though. I mean, guy has an uber-rich and hot ex-wife who still likes him (although not loves him), and like those typical stories do he "just can't accept her money" because he has to do it himself. Nice safety net! Then he sets off on this journey after hitting that "rock bottom" which basically consists of quitting his job and getting humiliated in public -- let's not forget that his humiliation and the ensuing popularity it got him is what gave him the possibility of coming back in the first place since he was famous now. I mean, at some point he sure had it pretty bad but nothing I would call "Rock Bottom", especially with that safety net. I also just can't help but feel things just go way toooo easy on him once his project starts. It's like he's living in this fairy tale world where if you put in some hard work and shift the momentum, everything will magically fall into place and your efforts will be rewarded, almost without limits (at least for him). The whole story just felt forced to me. It was a nice movie overall with some pretty good performances, but that's all it was in my opinion. I'd give it a 7
  11. I think it's because it happens in the summer. At least part of it. I distinctly remember this subject coming up at some point during the movie, and his dad wants him to go back to school, and then agrees for him to work on the week-ends with 1 condition, which I forgot. Or something like that.
