Not so good was my experience this morning. I woke up at 4 AM (3:58 actually, *before* any alarm went off), showered, ate a snack, and got in the car at around 4:35. I'd initially checked the ETA and the app said 20 min; when I started my car it had jumped to 33 min due to an accident on the Bay Bridge. Uh-oh. Maybe it'll be cleared soon, right? Nope. Fears were confirmed when the electronic signs on the highway announced "ALL BRIDGE LANES BLOCKED AT FREEMONT; USE ALTERNATE ROUTE". That's a big [sic] on "FREEMONT" they were indeed indicating the Fremont exit which is just inside of SF. A couple of miles from SF it became apparent that things were about as bad as they could be. I was imagining every car on the Bay Bridge piling into a single intersection with a red light slowing releasing them to the city. After 20 excruciating minutes of some of the worst lane-selecting I've done in my driving career, I arrived at the parking garage at around 5:20, freaking out since the movie had begun and I was sure that someone with a terrible seat would hop into the awesome doubly-centered seat I'd reserved. Once I got to the Metreon (which isn't a standalone establishment but rather part of a complex with a food court and other stuff, I saw a corral full of SW fans waiting on the sidewalk for a subsequent showing - no employees in sight. The doors to the place were locked and there was no employee in sight, aside from a security guard deep inside the building who was thoroughly ignoring anything taking place outside. So I was apparently SOL, as were three other people who were trying to see a "5:15" showing. It turns out I'd mistook the time of the showing, so I had just scored 15 minutes I didn't think I'd had! These other three people were very keen on walking around the entire mall-sized building to get close to another entrance that was much closer to the indifferent security guard. When we made it over there (and after my slight detour that involved me pleading to be let in with an employee who informed me that "this is Target" to my total embarrassment) we saw an actual employee talking to the security guard, and we were eventually let in after I used my phone's screen with e-ticket glowing as a sort of signal flare to draw their attention and announce my legitimacy. I made it into the theater, happy to see a few empty seats peppering the central area, and I waited at the side 'til the movie switched to a scene bright enough to illuminate my treacherous waddle past an aisle of people made oblivious to peripheral passersby thanks to the blinders provided by the 3D glasses. Ultimately I made it to my reserved seat which not only remained unoccupied, but was adjacent to *two* empty seats. So although I missed the crawl (and basically just the crawl according to a plot summary), the rest of the experience was great: total silence outside of the laughter & applause one wants to hear. And thanks to my lateness, I was probably one of the most disruptive people in the theater!

I hope the guy who sells the empire their death star parts is the same dude who gives the rebels the blue prints because he knows the empire is just going to build another one after it gets blown up because all this shit is creatively bankrupt.

i liked it just fine! and i reallly dont have many thoughts! i fucking loved adam driver and this ridley girl quite a bit. the jokes were good. i just kinda accept i'm not necessarily the most star wars person ever so a lot of the fan service was a little flat on me. carrie fisher was basically terrible and distracting to look at in a movie where theres rubbery full cgi rendered charaxters i'd like to see them take the series into somewhat uncharted territory in terms of the religious angle but the series is always kinda going to be what it already is. i think the light saber battle in this one easily rivaled the kinetics and viscera of luke and vader in empire. certainly a movie that 40+ year old star wars xasthur fans do not deserve..

how the fuck do you cast THREE actors from The Raid and proceed to have them ABSOLUTE ZERO cool ass batshit Raid stuff? cut some time out of the beachball's bleeping and blooping and let 'em go.
