Ah, I had assumed that VITAL SPARK was one of those "World Famous in Scotland" things (like Sydney Devine) so didn't think it would have reached Northampton.

You're mentally humming "Tiny Bubbles" now, aren't you

I genuinely thought Lucas was seeing how many action sequences he could intercut effectively in a finale.

Star Wars - one; Trench run
Empire - two; luke vs. Vader and Leia bespin  escape
Jedi - three; throne room and endor and death star 2
Phantom: four; space battle, ground battle, palace raid and Darth Maul sabre fight

I was disappointed when Clones didn't have five things at once.

Everybody did great with some interesting takes but that's a worthy winner.

Out of interest, does anybody know where the name Clara Pandy came from? All I can think.of is a mashup of silent era stars Clara Bow and Louise Brooks (PANDora's Box). But that's me clutching...

Those look like First Order troopers being shot as they run down the corridor. But couldn't make out ships anywhere.

That's a lovely line from Threepio. Can't help but think he's saying it to the wrong people though.

Janet Jackson stars as a poet called Justice.

It might be the best film ever but... well... you'd just feel stupid watching it, wouldn't you?

It looks like a training remote chasing her at start so it might be a training exercise.

The more I watch it, the more  am utterly gobsmacked by the visuals. How much processing power must it take to work out those fluid mechanics and render it all?

Yay!

I quite liked the "REYders Of The Lost Ark" vibe to the opening shots too.

Is she called Eve by any chance?

Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, Platoon, Inception, Delicatessen, Brazil, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Things To Come, 20 Million Miles To Earth, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Stalker, Repo Man, Videodrome, Cube, World's End, and many more

FFS. Given some of the stuff you post about watching, I think we really need to teach you the meaning of the word "priority".

It's unfair on us digital subscribers!

Jealous I couldn't make it. But Thought Bubble coming up shortly.

That bright orange and green mass of plastic on the supermarket shelves that represents the horrific capitalist monetisation of Halloween. Makes me want to burn the world!

And don't get me started in how they monetised unicorns.

I read back some of the early pages of this thread.

I can't for the life of me what the "kicking an old man playing tennis" refers to.

I've decided it's shit and I'm not going to actually watch it, because then I might have to change my mind.

I used a vaguely similar tactic with the last three seasons of Breaking Bad. I didn't like the first two seasons enough to continue but everyone kept telling me how great it was.

So I just assumed it is brilliant and now, i don't need to watch it and reconcile how I really feel with the critical mass of opinion.

I think they call it a win-win.
