Are you saying that any of the Lucas made Star Wars had excellent writing in them? Have you re-watched Episode 1 , 2 or 3 lately? If we are going to nitpick on the new movies, can we not remember how clunky the originals were with so many in cohesive plot lines and pointless scenes? Star Wars has and always will be about the amazing special effects, over the top action sequences, the sci-fi, the creative set pieces/planets and the uniqueness of the characters/creatures. It's never been about great writing and plots that make any sense. If we are going to nitpick about the smallest details then wouldn't the originals be absolute garbage because of the weird Luke/Leia relationship in the first movie, how Han Solos character flip flops, either the inclusion or lack of a more detailed story of Boba Fett, anything with the Ewoks, the death/reveal of Darth Vader etc.... I think people have some kind of bizarre unrealistic expectations that no matter what the new movie did would never match. People need to rewatch the Lucas films (which I did recently) and then take a step back and realize that they were all cornball and terribly written.

I dunno... 86 on metacritic, 7.1/10 on imdb and 91% on Rotten Tomatoes is what I see when I looked. The movie is very highly rated. No matter how any large franchise with a dedicated cult / fan boy following will always have people who will complain since it did not follow the vision that they had. The only negativity I've read is on here. If the movie was so bad then how come the folks on here who are complaining went to go see it a 2nd time? Putting my personal opinion of the movie aside, the numbers are showing that people love the movie and that it is a hit.

I can easily take apart any movie like the folks on here are.... way to much over analyzing on this movie. I'm shocked that with your group of friends that 90% have complained. I've had the complete opposite experience in which at work my nerd friends who are hardcore fanboys loved it and put it right next to ESB. My experiences with non computer people at work (normal people) have all loved the movie and thought it was way better then the last movie. The scores on imdb, rotten tomatoes, metacritic have all been really high. Also for myself... I remember when The Phantom Menace came out and the negativity that surrounded that movie was off the charts... and still yet more then 10% of the people I spoke with came away enjoying that movie.

So why not move Richie Hall to assistant GM and find a real d-coordinator? I can't imagine any guy on D was happy playing on a terrible defense that gave up a crap load of yards and points? I think the overall culture of how everything is ran and the influence from O'Shea is way more of a factor for free agent signings then people wanting to play for a nice guy?

I'd imagine that team Canada can fill out the roster with former Jets scraps! Kyle Wellwood can run wild at the Olys!!

Unless money does not motivate her? I also find it doubtful since it is very hard for aging actresses to find prime roles on major shows and movies.

I'm closer to this:

What blows me away is that I follow the 49ers... the ownership are morons and booted Harbaugh and gave keys to a couple of complete morons who gutted the roster of almost all of their all stars... the current regime had nothing in the cupboards. They make one trade for a QB and with a whole lot of fringe players they've managed to win 5 in a row. 4 wins in 3 seasons for the Browns... it's unbelievable.

Just trying to incite nerd rage I watched it in Polo Park with D-Box.... dbox is quite fun!

Lol i came to post the bear video ... you beat me to it. Also found out that Bob Sapp may be in trouble for beating up his girlfriend.

Something is fishy with that... because the other day when I was on the site and voted it was 85% of the votes going for Franklin to play in Toronto.

I caught the UFC card tonight... entertaining fights but wowza lots of decisions. It's funny how some cards like the Winnipeg one can have so much finishes and others like tonight mostly went to the judges. Also what kind of crack were some judges smoking giving Holly 2 rounds?

I couldn't get through all the whining comments from the nerds in this thread. Dear lord cry babies because they kill off original characters. I remember reading on here when people cried about TFA being to much like the originals? As possibly the only non nerd cry baby on here, I thought the movie was absolutely amazing. 2nd best Star Wars flick after Empire Strikes Back. Bluto saying it was slow and boring? GTFO here.... everyone in the theater today were shocked that 2.5 hours went by so fast because it was so exciting. I couldn't think of any points in the movie that dragged. Way more action then I expected and the action was great. Wtf people expected? Luke being the main super hero? He's friggin ancient and had a nice scene at the end. The comedy bits were great and not forced. The only complaints I would have which were very minor was the Leia flying through space looked funny, the mechanic girl falling in love with Finn and the lack of Jedi training with Rey. Overall great movie and such a breathe of fresh air that I did not expect.

He can take two dives in one night no?

Even better idea... have Bob Sapp take a dive against her!

Why not at this point have Garcia against a dude?

I assume the main reason the killings are down is because no street level thug could possibly survive financially in New York City these days.... the prices are crazy.

Have they done anything of note since that show?

As a backup no problem with having Durant........ It's not like any of our current backups have shown absolutely anything at all.

I'm surprised the guy wouldnt' want to coast as a 4th liner around the league making decent coin?

How about that Evander Kane... getting almost a point per game this season. Has he finally matured into the player that many thought he would be?

The original claim was weak specially since their was history of this lady being a stalker and crazy with past bizarre behavior. This new allegation also seems weak against TJ.

I don't see any reason at all for Mayweather to fight in the octagon when he can rematch someone else or challenge another UFC guy and make an easy 200 - 300 million against someone else without tarnishing his legacy.

Apparently a false claim based on what his wife and him have wrote in response...

The buy rates were not as high as Dana White originally claimed (shocking), but it definitely did very good business. I wonder if anyone else in the UFC roster still has enough star power to even come close to getting that kind of revenue.
