    ducked into the roxie on thursday night to escape the rain and catch this classic... ninety minutes later, clothes are dry; cheeks are damp.

    mostly enjoyable, but will likely prefer the ambitious villeneuve sequel set in a dystopian 2049.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens

    ★★★★

    i'm pretty sure the fat junk dealer on jakku is george lucas.

    the symbolism of a stingy, piggly oaf who makes money on the repeated scavenging and recycling of parts from a long ago past is just too on the nose.

    and then when he discovers the millennium falcon has improbably roared back to life, he clenches his fist in the air, and with an infantile rage howls "THAT'S MIIIIIIIIINE!"

    seeya, george, and good riddance!

    a new genre is born: the "pedantic comedy".
