Oh lawd I'd completely forgotten about Anna Nicole Smith. I'm now very slightly nostalgic for the absolute shitshows of a simpler time.

Eerie (and nostalgic for me, visiting all my favourite places). Had a similar trip through Český Krumlov a couple of months ago, not a tourist soul in sight. Ethereal solitude indeed. Very much a perfect one day trip to London minus a pub.

Without Carlin, this looks like a sad, uninspired cash grab from an old, should be left to rest franchise.

I just cannot imagine this being good. Those who remember it nostalgicly are too old now for the infantile humor, and those the right age group have no connection with the story world, characters, or 80's references.

Hollywood, please quit with the rotten memberberry sauce on everything.

Very gentle; very sweet--and in a time of social distancing, also nostalgic.
Thanks!

I remember this shit from the earlier days of the internet maybe 6 years ago. I, for one, am not nostalgic for this incoherent psychobabble trying to pass itself off as entertainment.

I've had bad LSD trips that were less annoying than this.

I wish those wishing to return to the good old 50's would remember the top 1% proudly paid 92% in taxes back then as opposed to the often <25% they bemoan as draconian today, which went a long way towards paying for all the nice things they like to point to nostalgically and allow for upward mobility.

"Mark Hamill on the latest Star Wars films."

He really isn't speaking specifically about the latest Star Wars films. This is one of many videos of interviews with Mark Hamill in which people try and take things out of context and make it sound like he is trashing the new films. He is not. This video is from 2016 and is posted by an account named "Jar Jar Abrams", if you were looking for any clue as to the intent of this person. I don't know when the interview was initially filmed, but it would be helpful to know when, relative to the release of The Force Awakens.

He is pointing out that Hollywood judges the success of movies only by the money they make, hence Transformers. He notes that companies, such as Disney, buying up other movie companies, should be cause for concern. How will Disney judge success of The Force Awakens? Probably on revenue, since TFA did about $2 billion. Does that make it a success or a good movie? That is actually the point he is making, that pure revenue doesn't judge success. I think his point is more that Star Wars makes a shit-ton of money, Transformers makes a shit-ton of money, but does that make Transformers a better/more successful franchise than Star Wars?

Rotten Tomatoes has most Transformers movies at sub-50%. Are they a failure? The last 2 Star Wars movies are sitting at 90+% on Rotten Tomatoes. Does that mean they are a success? I found TFA to be a fun, nostalgic Star Wars film, but it wasn't The Best Evar. I have seen TLJ twice in the last week. I think it is fantastic, almost as good as Empire, but it still has its problems.

The user review on Rotten Tomatoes for TLJ is 54%. Does this mean the movie is a failure? Or are user reviews just the internet rage machine, concentrated? I am done with aggregated/collected game and movie reviews on the internet. Too much hate, too much agenda-ranting. Nowadays, I have found some game and movie reviewers that seem to see games and movies like I do. I read their reviews and then judge for myself.

Be critical of the things you love.

Oh MAN! The title was immediately nostalgic for me, and it strikes me that this game is actually really well suited to movie adaptation. I hope there are at least a few references back to the specific game elements though - a candy striper maybe, or characters shooting the ants' antennae off.

Mr. Plinckett is right as usual. I watched it in IMAX 3D yesterday, but didn't feel immersed into the story all that much. While watching it I couldn't help but think that a panel of Disney marketing geniuses meticulously thought out what we wanted to see, to guess our expectations, more than the brain child of someone with a vision, with a true story to tell. The girl-that-every-girl-wants-to-be with great athletic prowess and wit as the main character to try and get women to go and see it. The two popular Chinese actors were obviously there to appeal to the ever more important Chinese market. Nostalgic re-enactment (or pre-enactment?) of the ROTJ final battle. Darth Vader! Tarkin! The Death Star! There's someone and/or something for everybody in this movie. Maximum appeal to go and see it.

I think all characters did have potential, but there wasn't any time for them to really come alive, as we were introduced to too many locations and too many people. On the topic of coming alive, resurrected Peter Cushing was very clearly stuck deep into uncanny valley, and watching him was a little... morbid I think.

Like with the Force Awakens, I left the cinema not really unsatisfied, but not really happy either. Just kind of... okay. That was something all pre-Disney SW films did way better for me.

I'm torn.
On the one hand, more Blade Runner would be awesome.
On the other hand, these god damn member berries keep getting their disgusting sticky juice all over my childhood memories.
I'll reserve judgement on this particular nostalgic 'redux', but I really fear that's all it will be. Hollywood is completely devoid of independent thought or original storytelling these days. Part of me hopes this movie loses $200000000 so they'll quit rehashing classics.
I totally expect another Treasure of the Sierra Madre to come out in the next few years with way more explosions, more grisly deaths and action, and everything that made the original great missing.

nuthin' like nostalgic *livemusic by gum

I thought he was going to go all negative and just wax nostalgic....but he surprised me.

Calling the Lieutenant Governor a fool was awesome.

and he is right shooting the cops back isn't the answer...but I am afraid it will be until another answer steps forward.

I'm weirded out by the fact that I'm nostalgic for my childhood watching a show that lasted 1965-1970... when my chilkdhood was in the 90s. Entertainment recycling is forever.
