| 32661 | The brilliance of Mr. John Hughes. | One I'd like to see is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101635/">Curly Sue</a>. I had no idea John directed and wrote this.<div><table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="480" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><tbody><tr><td width="380"><br><br></td></tr></tbody></table></div> | Mr Magic | Dec 30, 2016 |  |
| 32660 | Last Movie You Watched | Star Wars: Rogue One<div><br></div><div>I did NOT like it, ahh, I can feel the flurry of boos and thrown popcorn.</div><div><br></div><div>The problem with Rogue One was the characters. After 2+ hours, I couldn't name half of the crew. Some of the them like Juan Solo were down right irritating. </div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lots of lines of dialogue were botched. My favorite character was Donnie Yen's monk but he was clearly working with a language coach for each scene and lots of his lines came out confused or misplaced. </span></div><div><br></div><div>Another big issue was the story. If you watch the original movies, the Empire Strikes Back you don't see a caption that says "Hoth: Location of secret rebel base" because you know what is going on. In ten minutes, Rogue One has like six cuts to six different planets. </div><div><br></div><div>SPOILERS Hey-o!</div><div><br></div><div>1. They go to Jedha to get a transmission from Saw who promptly dies</div><div><br></div><div>2. They go to generic Imperial mine to meet Jyn's dad who promptly dies</div><div><br></div><div>3. They go to paradise planet where everyone promptly dies</div><div><br></div><div>What was the point of step 2? Why is Juan Solo upset that Jyn's dad is dead when it was his mission to kill him?</div><div><br></div><div>I like the idea of individual stories set in the Star Wars universe but I did not like this one. </div> | echidna64 | Dec 30, 2016 | |

By the time they saw some of their last big successes not even those successes could make up for years of loses.<div><br></div><div>It also looks like they were having a lot of issues behind the scenes business wise in regards to stocks and who was in control of what.</div> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Dec 30, 2016 | |

| 32652 | How was your year of 2016? | Like any other year there was ups and downs. Nothing catastrophic happened in my personal life, so I'm glad. This Monday, January 2nd I'm packing up my car and driving from California to Pennsylvania which is a hell of a way to begin the new year. I plan to put 2017 in a Steiner Recliner though, time to start fresh! | vkimo | Dec 30, 2016 | |
