Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Spoilertastic Thread

Why the fanboy hate for anyone that has differing opinions?

Uh, I don't know. Ask a hateful fanboy.

[Quantum Vagina]

As for people thinking the dialog was bad... some people spend so much time in fiction that they don't know a genuine sentence when they hear it.

I have a degree in English.  (I spent two years studying film and they canceled the program.)  I can't speak for Lawful.  I agree with Imrahil that it is seriously overrated. Is it bad?  No, I made it clear that I enjoyed it.  Why the fanboy hate for anyone that has differing opinions?

I've said that I liked it, and that it just doesn't deserve all the high praise it's getting. I do think that it had problems, but it was still enjoyable.

Hey. Hey, you guys. I also loved the medic lady talking to Chewie all "It sounds like you were very brave." and he responds all like "Yeah, I was pretty brave."

I like to imagine he was talking about how there was this guy treating his wound that didn't know what he was doing and it really hurt!  And how he really wanted to kill that guy! 

I hope they filmed a longer version of the scene at the end when Rey gets into the pilot chair in the Falcon, that is pretty great in the novel.

I'm torn on whether to interpret that scene as "so is this like a nurse looking after a three year old?" or "those two are going to become an item."  Loved it all the same.

I see no point in complaining about the dialogue in TFA. I can remember little or any of it that had me cringing at all. On the contrary, I remember good dialogue and some damn good lines.
Examples(I have to recite these from memories so pardon me if I don't quote them precisely):
"Stay calm, stay calm"
"I am calm"
"I was talking to myself."

"Look how old you've become"
"Something far worse has happened to you."

"Listen big deal, you've got a problem... women always find out the truth... always."

You know, I'm not going to claim the dialogue was great, but it did what it had to do and none of it ever took me out of the movie.

Heh.

I would say because I find the term 'overrated' staggeringly arrogant

Ah, the always lovely Harriet Walter.

She's Christopher Lee's niece incidentally.

This might have to be the first novelization I've read since the one for Jedi (which actually was the only version of Jedi I knew for years)

Funny thing, my mom actually recognized her when we went to see the movie this past Saturday, from all the British stuff she watches.

[Tripe]

Yes she's on Downton Abbey, though I don't watch that. She's a terrific stage actress, especially in Jacobean stuff.

The core of the UP Shakespeare festival got together on Sunday and mostly we talked about the stage people we recognized in the movie, best brunch for ages.

OK, now that that's posted, I've had a somewhat tasteless joke I've been hanging onto for awhile, and I think enough time has passed...

So, does this now mean we're getting those "Dead Han" action figures George Lucas didn't want to sell all those years ago?

(I now await the impending tomatoes and/or death threats. )
