beccaelizabethI didn't want to say in advance in case it didn't worked again again
but
I finally got to see Star Wars
with
SUBTITLES
:-D
I got to see all the words! Yaays!
Today the subtitled showing let out early enough to catch a bus home, so mum agreed it was good to go to, even though we have to bring my brother on a Sunday and he'd seen it already. Mum reckons today was the 3rd time he saw it. But he was entirely happy to go see it again. which makes sense.
Awesome movie is awesome :-)
... sad bit is sad. Do not want. Am writing fixits in my head.
I do not like Kylo Ren. But I mean if I had a lightsaber he should watch his back. As a character he's plenty good, makes story happen, unfortunately plausible.
Was surprised how the movie was compared to tumblr. Like, Poe seemed more of an NPC than a full character? Like he turned up and catalysed story but we didn't get to know him like Finn and Rey. But tumblr is all over the three of them like they're same.
I was thinking while I was watching how small the dark side types are even by their own measure. I mean, I was reading on tublr reposts of comics that reckoned Darth Vader kept himself deliberately uncomfortable because the pain fuelled his anger fuelled his dark side force powers, and then stupid sith fanboy was hitting himself like that would be helpful, and it's just... why on any planet would they need to do that, if they want pain? The force binds and connects all living beings. Obi-wan could feel Alderaan from systems away. If you need to feel pain just listen. If their own small physical hurts are any significant in the face of all that, how very small their grasp must be.
... I was thinking that because I didn't want to be having the feels I was. Because sad bit was sad. Do not want.
Am very glad I saw the movie, even though it does throw my weekly routine out. I'm all out of foods except egg potato things and pasta spirals. I was out of Ribena until I bought some for watching the movie with.
Before the film we went to the TV&Movie Store but I didn't know that was part of the plan so I didn't bring my shopping list and left without buying anything. Brother didn't want to buy things. Mum said he needed a bag and a warm thing and he could buy Many of DVDs, but he only chose a DVD in the last five minutes and didn't choose a bag or a warm at all.
... I kind of want a Stark Industries hoodie but I also kind of want an Avengers jacket and actually kind of need things that are not hoodies or jackets at all. But I meant to buy a t-shirt but got distracted cause mum told me to get brother on task. Mum was not pleased when I asked if he wanted a hat because she said he'd look stupid in hats. I am not pleased that look stupid is an override on warms. But he didn't want hats anyway.
... I'd want hats but they are either warm or have a brim, neither are both, so not suitable.
Now I am tired but in that way that's full of up movie and a lot :-D
Also? SUBTITLES. WIN!

Date: 2016-01-24 09:50 pm (UTC)I've typed two versions of this reply and it's making me think more about woobie!Loki, because my feeling is he's easy to woobify because of the relatable emotional drama with his family, but then I thought about how much of that drama he caused and it's not so simple. Like, yeah, the film shows you his pain, but a lot of it is him reacting in advance of facts and rejecting the advances of a loving family, so. Not a million miles from Kylo Ren, can describe both of them in ways that scenes seem similar. Doesn't feel similar though. We didn't see Ren fall, we saw him push others. There's no struggle for power, however twisted, just abuse of the power he has. And we don't know why he feels the need to have it. Doesn't give the same impression.
I'm wondering what the intended endgame for the character is though. I mean, Luke bringing Vader back to the light is the best of the original trilogy, and everything is about light and hope and stuff, so probably he's set for a redemption arc, but seriously? After this?
Worst case would be some kind of romantic thing being set up. Gross worst case.
I don't know, mostly I want to stab him with glowy thing a lot. Not very jedi.
But Finn and Rey are much more interesting. And part of why Ren looks so flat out bad. Finn was indoctrinated his whole life to do all the things Ren chooses to do, but Finn just looked around and decided it was wrong. Much better. And Rey seems like she never had anyone looking out for her, but she dives right in to helping others. He looks so much weaker compared to their strengths.
So I don't see woobie, and I don't think I'm meant to.
Which won't stop others from seeing it.
