If you go to iPic in Scottsdale they give you pillows and blankets. It's kinda neat.

People should avoid Studio Movie Grill at all costs. The seats are cheap and uncomfortable and the food is gas station quality.

The last found footage film I saw was Blair Witch Project. I'm thinking that found footage films just aren't good because that's the movie that popularized them and it was mostly pretty bad.

yeah I live in Tempe too, so like unless I'm seeing a movie when I get off work or something is only playing at the theater I work at I go to Tempe Marketplace too. Free movies though, which is the only reason I still have that job tbh.

Yeah Studio Movie Grill is awful. The first Alamo Drafthouse in the area opened down in Chandler a little while ago. It's far as hell though (30 minute drive from where I live in Tempe), but its really awesome, only went there once last week but definitely want to go for more special events they offer, and hopefully they start opening more theaters in Phoenix too.

I've never been to iPic, isn't it even more expensive? But I guess that's Scottsdale

And $10.50? Is that USD? This is why I just stream online later. I'd rather spend that on a point and put it up my nose than chance wasting it on a shite movie + my time.


This, pretty much. Very few movies can drag me into a theater on my own dime since I can always wait and see it cheaper on NFI or something.

Well, they were popular long before that (and BWP was nowhere near as big as Cannibal Holocaust) but it did bring those kinds of films back into the limelight. And yes, even by found footage standards, BWP is pretty awful). The fact that you have three "film students" and not one of them can hold a camera was particularly stupid. Then there was no real attempt at a script and it felt like they were doing shitty improv while dropping f-bombs every other sentence.

Blair was a good real sequel to its original. Anyone who's camped out in the darkest woods away from civilization knows how scary it is. You hear sounds that you will never hear and have never heard until you do that. And you will hear shit walking around and it will sound scary. Your survival instinct kicks in and tells you to get the fuck out of there. After all, it doesn't matter how brave you are and how you'd stand up unafraid against a bear. Even the smallest bear will casually slap the skin off your face and begin to use your body as a buffet. While you're still alive. And... it doesn't think twice about it. All your "Please God helps!" won't make the bear feel pity for you. After all, just about then he's found your sweet meats and that shit is like barbecue to him.

Advice: stay the fuck out of the woods.

Bullshit. You're just lying to yourself now. That movie was not good and that's putting it lightly


The majority disagrees with you.

Cause your opinion is dumb.

The majority disagrees because they put on their rose tinted glasses before they stepped in the theater.
The action scenes were entertaining and well done (for the most part), but the overall story and characters were really really poor.
My biggest complaint is the character development; we already knew the story of rogue one because of the opening crawl of the original Star Wars, so in order to make the movie interesting they needed good action scenes and good characters. And they completely failed with the characters.

Jyn Erso went from "this isn't my fight" to giving multiple motivational speeches in a matter of minutes, with little to no development leading up to that.
Cassian Andor started as the grizzly "get the job done" kinda guy, even killing someone he was working with in the beginning to secure his own escape. And then couldn't kill Galen Erso because he felt bad for/ had feelings for Jyn. Even though they only talked a few times at that point? It was way outa character.
Chirrut and Baze were decent enough characters if not a little under developed. I don't have much complaints about them. It was cool to see a non-Jedi/Sith character worship the force.
Forest Whitaker's character was the most useless in the whole movie. And died for next to no reason.
Bodhi was another decent yet under developed character, he got the most interesting towards the end of the movie but then died moments later. He also had that interaction with the 'brain drain' alien, which was supposedly dangerous because it could leave him brain dead, but that mattered for all of 5 minutes, then he was back to normal like nothing happened.

The action was good enough, except I was disappointed in the beginning to see that Storm Trooper shooting everywhere and missing.
That was a shitty adumbration the Lucas used because he didn't know how to direct decent ground combat scenes and still have the heroes live. Sadly Rogue One did the same thing.
The better scene was at the end, but that because they were actually allowing a fair fight, to kill the characters off.


It's like there was a good movie in there somewhere, but the lack of character development didn't allow me to actually care for the characters when they inevitably died.

And that is my constructive opinion on the movie. But if you'd rather just say "your opinion is dumb" without being constructive or logical in the least, then that is a failing of your own.

recently as in about three years ago, yeah. I've consumed a lot more Star Wars media than the average movie-goer since then, though, so I think I have a decent grasp at what something good (imo) in the SW universe. RO was about as far away from what I wanted out of the movie as it could have been.

I gave my reasoning. That movie relied on nostalgia alone. It advertised itself as a standalone Star Wars story but it doesn't work at all without being carried on the backs of its predecessors.
Again, I honestly don't bear any ill will towards others opinions or their disapproval of mine. But simple saying "your opinion is dumb" because you don't like it? But not listing reasons why? That's being insulting, not being constructive.
If you want to insult my opinion without reason, fine. It speaks more of your character than it does of mine.

I did some searching and here's a good video that highlights the flaws in Rogue One, and explains them constructively:

No ill will my ass

1) I don't bear ill will over a disagreement. Unprovoked insults on the other hand-
2) Suggested they didn't like to; didn't say they couldn't.
When someone formulates an argument and their only response is "your opinion is dumb", it kinda gives off that vibe.

3) Definitely no ill will towards your ass.
