I assume you're talking about an old dude with father issues, a young dude with father issues and a young chick with a shittonne heaped on her?

I am completely fucking sick of the Skywalker family and if Rey turns out to be part of it I’ll be furious.

Fair, but it wouldn't surprise me to find Rei's Luke's illegitimate daughter.

Luke was lonely out there maintaining the vaporators on Uncle Owen’s moisture farm, and the rags of the female Sandpeople were so revealing in summer...

Maybe Koo Stark was a bit septic on him a Toshi station because they had... history?

Or the Skywalker in question is Anakin's grandson and he redeems everything by killing Palpatine completely.

God I so don’t care. Fuck the Skywalkers. Rian Johnson was on the right track when he tried to burn it all down.

I almost died of fanboyjizz when the first TFA trailer came out, and for this... meh.

I definitely feel like the change in directors/writers is flip flopping the plot direction far too much.

TFA: JJ.
Who's Rey's parents?
Who's Snoke?
Where's Luke?


TLJ: Rian Johnson.
No one special, lol.
No one special, lol.
Nowhere special, lol.


ROS: JJ again.
We're literally calling the movie Skywalker, oh, and here's the remains of the Death Star, and here's Emperor Palpatine's laugh!

I'm concerned that ROS will ret-con most of TLJ to suit JJ's twisted plot plans, and finish on nothing more than a pile of macguffins and unanswered questions.

They're frustrating as hell.


My money's on "Skywalker" being a new basis force theology in moderation, in Luke's image. Death of Jedi and Sith, rise of Skywalker, etc.

The Predator might have been better if it had a decent score. I thought movie itself was pretty cool. Humorous, brutal. Good actors, decent effects. Absurd, but in a good way (if you like that kind of thing.) But the music was trash.

Just got back from End Game. Worth 11 years of movies to get here.

No spoilers. Just go see it.

Just watched Captain Marvel again, I was right the first time Brie Larson is fucking tits.

Still didn't like some of the musical choices. "Come As You Are" and "Just a Girl" seemed forced.

Just watched Captain Marvel for the first time. I enjoyed the cast, the de-aging worked really well (although I'm not sure if it'll age well) and I enjoyed the "Are we the baddies?" twist, where the shapeshifting green men were actually the good guys in all this.

Unfortunately the rest was pretty meh. All of the 90's music seemed forced, and I was hoping for more tie-in's.
I'm desperate to see what went on in the time she's been gone between Marvel and Endgame.

Not a bad movie, but wouldn't be in my top 10 Marvel films.

I didn't know Ben Mendelsohn was Australian

When the shape shifter guy used his aussie accent, all I could hear was Jim Jefferies, and I because couldn't help thinking that it was Jim under the prosthetics, I kept thinking 'how the fuck did jim jefferies get such a big role in a marvel movie??' It totally ruined every scene he was in for me. lol

Lets just let Disney Marvel fix it.

I know they had a mini Civil War split in Avengers, but they could slowly introduce mutants potentially in the background, or as a couple of villians and then work in the mutant registration act?

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are both Mutants...

It's been suggested that there could be a boom in mutants thanks to the radiation released from consecutive snaps.

I thought the backstory here was they were from induced mutation, or at least induced expression of the mutation?

Yep, they weren't allowed to be mutants (per se) in Avengers.
I thought they were genetically modified.

Hmm - not a movie, but if any of you Auckland chaps are at a loose end tomorrow night, there are still a few tickets left to see Brian.

Went last night, and it was pretty good. The dryness of the content at the start was anticipated well by Prof Cox, so his funny side kick comes on and tells Dad jokes for a bit to get everyone back online. Strange demographic in the crowd, but in a way stereotypical - lots of grey haired middle aged people. And ladies.

Ab - still some tickets left in Adelaide - ouch - pricing is comparable to NZ. No kids prices because high-brow. But my daughter thought it was shit hot.

Saw Spiderman Far From Home, pretty damn good comic book movie TBH.

Great work from Jake Gyllenhaal, some nice tie-in's with the rest of the MCU, but some of the CG was definitely not Marvel Studios quality.

Loved the post-credits scenes.

Saw it tonight, agreed on all counts Bob. Really enjoyed it. I like the smaller scale of the Spidey films, and Holland just kills it.

Taika Waititi to Direct 'Thor 4'

But ages away.

Movie idea: Thor 4000, set 4000CE. Captain Marvel shows up at the end to save the day.

Stronger than Homecoming, enjoyed this much better. Good to see JJJ at it.

Frankly Homecoming Spider-Man was the most annoying mix of Miles Morales and young Peter Parker, this one expanded that a bit into a bit more of its own character.
