I was a massive SW fan. I was one of the last people to admit that the prequels were terrible. I kept lying to myself that they were good.

Also, I am on record as hating JJ Abhrams... especially the 2 new Star Treks. So I wasn't happy at all when he got this gig.

So I kinda want to hate this. I've been disappointed before, and I want to get my scorn in early.

But I just can't.

THAT TRAILER IS GODDAMN AWESOME.

And when Han and Chewie appeared, I nearly shed a tear. I really hope the movie is *quality.

I think Abrams was a pretty good choice. He represents the opposite of the fundamental thing I didn't like about the prequels, namely that Lucas took himself and the films too seriously (on top of being a crappy director in general). Abrams makes good action/adventure popcorn flicks, which is where the series needs to go, at least for the first film.

What's left of the child that I once was, rooted heavily in Spielberg and Lucas nonsense, emaciated and beaten with wire hangers, what's left of that child just let out a great weep of joy --

And was suddenly silenced, because of the emotional abuse that child had received at the hands of the very creators...

And I still don't forgive JJ for Lost... nor Super 8, which should have celebrated that child within, it was a poor imitation of this child of the '80s experience. It was lacking in authenticity. Almost. But no.

The important thing here is that Lawrence Kasdan is one of the screenwriters. His involvement makes this project legit, and he's working on a stand alone star wars screenplay. Though I haven't read much into it, it's likely the Han Solo film. Kasdan was a screenwriter for Empire, Jedi, and Raiders of the LA. That's what gets me excited despite my south park like reaction to the raping of Harrison Ford. Kasdan won't rape Ford... no, he couldn't!

Liked the scenery and scale. After "my sister has it" I thought of posting a snarky comment about STD. But then, at 1:35 I went all 10 year old again. *doublepromote, *doublequality.

The problem with Lost, like Star Trek Into Darkness, wasn't JJ. It was Lindelof. The man's a hack. Fortunately, he's not writing this.

Abrams IS a hack. he never even liked star trek but repeated all the old images with added lens flares and fake looking shiny CGI bullshit.
Expect the same.
There is no love or inspiration here, just the product of a billion dollar business deal between fat cynical capitalists and later their mercenary artisitically bankrupt stooge for hire.
Doing anything interesting is the only way to get fired for him (see Antman).
Also, that doesn't look like han solo, anymore than the crystal skull oldie looked like indiana jones.

Yeah, I sort of didn't want to bring him up. I'm still reeling from Prometheus... I walked out of each Star Wars and Star Trek film shaking my head wondering what happened. But Prometheus -- there wasn't a single moment I believed I was watching a film from the Alien franchise. Sad memories... sad memories...

On a lighter note, how about M. Night's new flick? Thoughts? Ahaha! Maybe this time the secret ending is that it's going to be a good film.

All of these people are capable of making good movies and television. Where does it go wrong? Why are we being dumped on with horrible, but well meaning movies? Someone tell Hollywood their formula SUCKS. We liked it before there was a formula.

If Star Wars 7 is a piece of shit, does that mean It Follows was my favorite film of the year? That would be hilarious, because I really like that film but mostly for the score. I sort of hope it's my favorite film of the year, with awesome lofi soundtrack and "F Star Wars" as my cited reasons.
