first things first, BB-8 should be in every movie ever made. i understand that certain legal and logistical realities might make that difficult, but that's your problem. i'm sure disney's lawyers are perfectly reasonable people.

BB-8 is the best character in the whole fucking galaxy. omg what if he's a death star??? what if somewhere in space there's a GIANT BB-8 ADORABLE DEATH STAR??? save us, colin trevorrow, you're our only hope. honestly, i would have been much more on board with Ex Machina if it was a turing test with BB-8. i care about BB-8. i love BB-8. and that shit is *legal.* all those "if you can marry a man, what's to stop you from marrying a dog?"…

I've felt euphoria that I have never felt before. I laughed. I cried. I cheered. I have officially lived life. I will never forget this moment.

He gives us a fresh-face cast, brings back some old, and when I say old; I mean old; familiar faces, uses some practical effects, and tells a story that's quite Star Wars-esque. On paper, I should be dancing like a drunk Ewok, but I'm not quite ready to do the Jedi Boogie. Hell, I grew up on Star Wars. At least the original flicks. I'll gladly give the middle finger to the trilogy about Padmé Amidala's baby daddy's journey to the Dark Side. That's not my cup of tea. I have no clue why I…

I first showed my son Terminator 2: Judgment Day at a much younger age than the MPAA would recommend, and he found it difficult to sleep that night. At first I worried that the T-1000 robot unsettled him too much to rest. It is, after all, a killing machine that can look like your mom and turn his arms into knives.

But no, my son couldn’t sleep because the film’s closed time-loop premise locked his mind in a state of mixed excitement and confusion. He couldn’t quite wrap his head around how the Terminator could go back in time to prevent itself from being created, but the film was too thrilling to let him stop thinking about it. The Force…
