My eyes watered a bit while I was watching the trailer for Star Wars: Rogue One. Why is that? Your dog farted?

Huh. Sentimental is not a word that comes to my mind when I think of you. Not that I think of you often, but, oh never mind. I'm very sentimental. Full of sentiment.

I've always wanted to know more about Darth Vader's backstory. You know, what he was like as a kid, how he met Queen whatshername, how he met Obi-Wan, and how the hell he ended up on the Dark Side. Seems like you could make a movie or three about that. Maybe have some goofy character, too, for comic relief.

Eight Days a Week is wonderful, especially with the 30 minute Shea concert included.

Viggo Mortensen in "Captain Fantastic." Wow, very good movie about a recently widowed father now responsible for his kids after his wife committed suicide. Family lives in a forest in northwest California and kids have been home schooled. I won't say anymore... Just a well done movie. A must see.

Chancellor palmatine was actually darth sideous and he was the one that had an evil influence on skywalker. Plus, after his mother dies he goes on a rampage and that's the most important part of his downfall.

Not a great movie, but was worth a one time watch. The movie is "Wild Oats".

A movie I would recommend is ARRIVAL Just saw it today. Great movie. Really well edited, written, produced, directed, etc. Has a lot to do with communication and language, and not so much with aliens. This term will help to understand the movie: Sapir-Whorf hypothesis - the idea that the language you speak determines how you perceive the world. Although, you won't have a problem piecing it all together by the end. You may have to see it twice to really appreciate how well it was made (at least, you'll want to watch the beginning again).

The "Sapir-Whorf hypothesis?" Does this predate Orwell's Principles of Newspeak?

I don't watch movies in theaters anymore. It's unthinkable now. I watch movies as they're released on DVD. Here's some I watched recently:
The Lobster -- I love dystopia (and dystopia-like) novels and films. The Lobster falls into this category -- but it's one of the most ridiculous (in a good way). Very captivating from start to finish. My only problem is that in a lot of stories dealing dystopia or a futuristic society, he hero and heroine meet and sort of fall in love and decide to leave their society together. See, e.g., 1984, Logan's Run. It's getting into cliche territory.
Room -- The first half of the film is so different from the second half of the film. As much as I love the performances, I hate films and novels where a little kid is able to articulate wise words. That's not possible. I don't think I had a wise thought until my late 30s.
Evil Dead -- The remake. Received great reviews for an interesting take on an old classic. The film was competently made but I hated all the bloods and gore.
Don't Breathe -- Directed by the same guy who directed the Evil Dead remake (above). Great film.
Green Room -- Great film. Didn't get the significance of the title "Green Room" until we got to the main conflict in the film.
