Better or worse than CGI Arnold?
Cushing honestly seemed like they got the actor back.
I had to remind myself: "Oh, wait, that guy died, didn't he?"

Thought the Cushing CGI was jaw dropping, Leia not as much.
Leia was, eh, fine. I thought anyway. Not bad enough to be distracting, at least. A bit like Walker in Furious 7. You can easily spot it, but it still works because of the power of the scene.
And, yes, Cushing was astoundingly well-done. He literally looked like any other live action actor.

Vader going batshit on those guys in that hallway, man. That was some Jason Voorhees shit right there.
In about a minute they did more with the Vader character than the prequels ever did.
My mark out cinema moment of 2016.

I can honestly say I loved this and it smoked TFA in every way. Jyn is a better leader character than Rey too. Couple of minor nitpicks, but this was an honest to goodness, emotional flick, and didn't have to rely on nostalgia to sell it.
Jyn could have been fleshed out more a little, admittedly.
But she was way less of a Mary Sue than Rey.

@Reed Based on Total Divas, Kevin didn't seem like the best option either since he pushed for marriage so quickly and by getting a tattoo to propose.
But he wasn't old enough to be her father. Or already married with children.
Proposing by tattoo was a terrible idea, admittedly. But, eh, young guys in love in their 20s are dumb sometimes?
I sorta understand why Paige's family liked Kevin but (apparently) don't like Del Rio,tbh.

Rogue One is an excellent accompany piece because it explains the one big great plot hole in A New Hope.
Overs the years, everyone from film critics to comic fans to Robot Chicken to Family Guy have joked about “Why build such a big, scary expensive death star with such a glaringly obviously flaw?”
Answer; Because the guy who helped create it secretly hated the empire and was sabotaging that thing from the get to.
And instantly told the Alliance about that glaringly obviously flaw..
A truly dazzling, quirky little film twist. And it makes complete and total sense.

@ Reed's post...
I know it'll be looked as wrong, and I absolutely mean no harm. Seriously. But, on the path it seems she's going (don't go by only Total Divas), she presumably seems to be on a Sunny route.
She's young, attached herself to a "name" guy, has already been in the news and linked to it.
It doesn't seem well.
If this doesn't bode well, I'm sorry. I typed it on first instinct and am wasted and need sleep. Hope she doesn't end up like my comparison earlier.
Obviously, every individual has their problems. Blaming Del Rio for "corrupting" her is silly. She's young, of course, but she's still a grown-ass woman who makes her own decisions.
But these two, eh, they simply aren't good for one another. They appear to be bringing out the very worst in each other. Shades of Sunny/Candido.
It doesn't seem healthy.

Read the latest F4W Newsletter.
Man, Paige's mom was right: She should have stuck with Kevin. Even if his music career was going nowhere.
(You'd have to be a fan of Total Divas to see what I mean.)
-
Granted, Jenny from the Block was an awful, cringe-worthy music video.
But I would not say appearing in it is worse than being, say, an actual convicted rapist.

Ben Affleck not making the Best Director nominees for Argo (2012).
I'll never forget when the reason for that snub (eventually) came out:
"Well, the academy still hadn't forgiven him for all the silly Jennifer Lopez tabloid bullshit a few years ago. They thought it was embarrassing to them."
But Roman frigging Polanksi can win. OK, then.

Taken
Initial impressions: The lead guy seems too cookie cutter and generic and the sweater is ridiculous. But, um, I suppose a lot of middle-aged action movie fans will still watch it anyway?
I'm not sure what to think. This one could go either way.
And he's not Irish.

I watched Mojave:
It seems Oscar Isaac attended The Hulk Hogan School of Acting.
This whole film was a little ridiculous.

Heck,. my own theory was that Tremblay didn't get nominated because they didn't want Leo suffering the indignity of losing to a 9 year old.
It's still the best child performance I've ever seen.

I'd have nominated Heather Donahue for The Blair Witch Project, too. Dear God, she gets so utterly hysterical and sadly depressing to watch towards the end.
Everyone focuses on the famous "apology" scene, but honestly, the saddest scene in it is when she finds Josh's remains.
The shock, guilt and absolute horror she feels is still powerful to watch. This once confident, bossy, slightly annoying woman (maybe like some of these super-pretentious college student filmmakers we all know) has now been reduced to an emotional wreck. It's devastating.
Also: Jacob Tremblay should have won Best Actor for Room.
Michelle Yeoh for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Fast and Furious 8 trailer: "OMG, is Dom suddenly evil now? Has he randomly and suddenly turned on everyone he loves and cares about?!"
*me* "Um, probably not, no. He's undercover."
The most obvious plot twist in film history since you recognised instantly who the old lady in The Notebook was.

Ashley Massaro is joining the "sue WWE" train. She's alleging sexual assault and concussions.
The concussion thing is what it is.
The sexual assault issue...eh, I can believe it. Meltzer even admitted in the latest WON that a wrestler noted that his (Diva) girlfriend mentioned to him at the time how predatory some of those service men got around her..
And I can buy that if a woman was raped and complained about it, WWE would completely cover it up
For the sake of PR.

It's unfortunate how you respect and like a lot of what somebody does back in the day, only to see them now and look at what they've become. I'm sure that there's people Joey worked with recently that thought he was a great guy to work with. But then he does shit like this and all that goes out the window. I talked to Joanna Sunday and said sorry for what happened. She said she wasn't offended so much as baffled to why he'd do that. But no woman should be in that situation and it's sad that she had to stand there and hear that.
Oh, and fuck Joey Styles. If he feels the only way he can leave a company is to get fired for being "edgy" then he really needs to re-think his life choices.
"I just say what I want" almost always means "I am a rude sociopathic asshole."
Because if you truly care about your fellow human beings, you think before you speak.

"Told a sexist joke." You're seriously downplaying it. If you don't get the difference between telling a joke and saying something gross and misogynist directly to a woman who has to sit there embarrassed and take it, then I don't know what to tell you and I wish you luck in your real world interactions with people.
The key here:
Styles knew the power he had. He humiliated her. She couldn't say or do a damn thing to him in response.
This was a long way off from Jerry Lawler making jokes about "puppies" on WWE TV.
It's nauseating.
Christ, she looked horrified.

No woman in this world wants to be casually referred to as a "p****" by a smug guy in front of a room full of people.
Then everyone cheers it on.
Does no one understand that?
Joey Styles is simply a terrible, pathetic person.

Joey Styles: A guy who assumed Donald Trump winning the election gave him a reason to be as rude and vulgar to women ON LIVE TV as he could be. Consequences-free.
Turns out it didn’t, Joey.
I don't want to get too into the politics here. But Trump's victory certainly did embolden a lot of awful, dumb people and let them vent out their awful, dumb thoughts.
Because if a President can say these things, why can't you?

Some good news for a change about the Trump Presidency, with it hopefully becoming harder for China to invest in Hollywood films.
I've personally become sick and tired of the "China Pandering" we've seen in movies over the last decade, especially the ludicrous scene in the last Transformers movie where we see the Chinese Defense Minister say "We will defend Hong Kong."
Hopefully, idiocy like that will now come to an end.Granted, all the China pandering in Transformers was cringe-worthy. But, technically, it's impossible to make the Transformers films any more idiotic than they already are.

Billy Corgan trying to make Dixie Carter's life fucking miserable is the only righteous thing he's ever done.

Star Wars Rogue One Spoiler Thread (For people who have seen the movie)
in MOVIES & TV

Bear in mind, Obi Wan is also the one person in the universe who knows how to fuck with Vader's head.
Which he does in A New Hope. And quite spectacularly so.
