Watched Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens again for the second time in years so that I could catch up and watch Star Wars Episode VIII The Last Jedi for the first time ever!
Made it 1 hour into Episode 8 and my TV died.

Impressions so far:

SW7 - Nothing special. Just another fairly bland JJ Abrams film. Many little things that make the movie weaker than it could have been. But I didn't hate it. Has it's moments.

SW8 - Surprisingly much better for the single hour I watched. The director behind this one is clearly much more of an actual film maker with an eye for cinema. The story works quite well most of the way, but there's still a feeling that there's no way this is gonna strike me as a classic, even when I get around to actually watching the rest of it.
Like a lot of modern big budget CGI sfx movies, the script just isn't quite there.

Any movies I watch until I get a new TV will have to be on my old laptop, since that one has a disc drive.

Watch Rogue One.

I saw it in the theater when it came out. Got in on dvd for cheap along with the other two I mentioned above so that I could catch up with some Star Wars again.

I remember thinking it was kind of alright, but let down by the final act. Don't know if a second viewing will improve it.

Infinity War on Friday and then Ragnarok today. I should have watched those the other way around.

The final part was the best part. Were you watching the right movie?

Stay for the mid-credit cut scenes.

I watched them on Netflix, so they should be paused right there when the movie ended and the credits started. I usually don't sit through that, but I'll check it out.

I had to teach my son to stay for mid-credit cut scenes after super hero movies when I took him too see AquaMan. He'd never done it before. Now he knows
