Star Wars: The Last Jedi movie review: a great disturbance in the Force
Upends expectations, demythologizes the mythos, and takes an iconic series in a bold new direction with a story full of humor, courage, and dazzling imagery.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie review: a new hope
Charts a path to a future that refuses to get mired in nostalgia. Yet all the Star Wars notes are here, remixed into a glorious new arrangement.
the Force is with white men, and hardly anyone else [update]
Star Wars is stuck “a long time ago”: in a 1950s mindset that was already outmoded when the first film was released in 1977.
QOTD: Which iconic (or imaginary) actor pairings would be fun to reverse?
Like how Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman could have swapped roles in Les Misérables and it would have worked just as well…
I miss MST3K so very very much (and other adventures in social networking)
Stuff my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
question of the day: What Star Wars stories do you want to see in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX?
Some speculation has it that the next films will revolve around an older Luke Skywalker, but I’m not so sure that’s a great idea…

I don’t mind telling you, I find something ineffably creepy about this.
Zachariah movie review
It’s Help! in the Old West, or The Quick and the Deadheads. This “electric western” musical comedy isn’t quite a hero’s journey, more a hero’s trip. It probably helps to be stoned.
