re: back pain, good god. I should have verified the theater I went to had those recliner seats.

@auspice IKR? 150 minutes is no joke. Like, at least have an intermission or something.

@sockmonkey That's the way I took that particular story arc/timeline to be too.

Have not seen Last Jedi, but god dammit yes intermissions need to be brought back to movies that are over two hours let me stretch my legs and grab another soda with out missing anything you bastards.
Hell the theatre I go to have refills of soda but WTF is the point of that if I can't get a refill without missing the movie. -
The ability to go to the bathroom without missing 5-10 minutes of prime movie action would be a GODSEND.

I wonder how difficult it would be to convince movie editors to put in a cue that a long, uneventful scene is coming up? Like, have a quick scene where the lead is washing their hands while talking about something--Okay, audience, they're just going to have a five minute romance, you can go hit the can, and be back before anything interesting happens.

The Last Jedi left me flat.
***=Spoiler***click to showFlat is a good way of describing it. I just... I really did not like the movie. I started MUSHing with Star Wars, I loved the Expanded Universe of Books that followed the Original Trilogy/Prequels.
This movie just left me sad in a way as if I had lost those things. (Obviously not completely lost. I still have the good memories and those old paper backs take up a good portion of my bookshelf)
The Mouse had to throw out a pretty decent and fleshed out world for... this? Why is everyone being witty and snarky and throwing out 80 quips a second? Why is your plot based on a sitcom foundation?

I haven't seen the Last Jedi yet but there is this:
Some are claiming its just trolls, but I usually find the audience score to be the more accurate reflection of what I'll think of a movie. 56% seems to confirm the feeling of "flat".

My eye started twitching at the Critics Consensus stating it honors the saga's rich legacy. I couldn't disagree more. One of the central themes of the entire movie is putting the past behind you, letting the past die. It is a theme that is pretty forcibly made obvious.
Of course there are a few points where they just straight up murder the past.

The user reviews that are just flat out 1s seem to come down to two camps:
- people who are mad that there aren't more white dudes in the central cast
- people who are mad it wasn't a remake of Empire
