    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That's pretty much the reverse for me. I haven't found the "trilogy" films under Disney particularly great--not awful like the prequels, but somewhat boring. I did really like Rogue One, though, so I'm looking forward to Solo. My feeling is that Disney so far isn't doing that great a job writing new story, but is okay when they plunder the old lore. Much like Game of Thrones has been better when going off GRRM's source material and not as good since progressing the story (with minor guidance) themselves.

    I wonder if we get to see that famous Kessel run?

    The new trilogy, in my opinion, is worse than the prequels. At least the prequels had Ewan McGregor.

    Ford plays "cantankerous dick" as well as Anthony Hopkins plays "creepy aristocratic refined guy"

    There's no way this could be worse than the last 2 Star Wars movies.

    Pure drivel.

    I really should not respond to this, mostly because I don't keep up with this sort of thing. And you know, my age and my lawn sort of image,
    but you are a good fella and I will give you what little I have.

    I loved Tom Cruise in Top Gun! The dip shit should have quit then! Why does he give me the bad vibs every since? I don't know, maybe I just don't like his looks.

    Johnny Depp: Creepy! Why does he get paid?

    Brad Pitt: Read Tom Cruise. But the movie I like him in was, A river Runs Through it. It might not have been him, probably not him. I just like the story which I had just read, before seeing the movie, while I was over on the Deschutes river, at my friend's cabin at the fishing club up river from Maupin. Otherwise meh, yeah maybe too much weed showing through.

    Now, to show just how shallow I am, I don't know a thing about the others on your list.

    I disagree.

    You didn't like Rogue One?
