Ep VIII pushed back to December so they can rake in another two billion fucking dollars.

Because the top level management have no idea why some movies succeed and others fail. This movie was more popular than the prequels, it must surely have been because of the winter release. If only the prequels had been released in the winter they could have succeeded, too!

They kinda have a point.
Winter is a wasteland for popular movies. It's Oscar release season. Summer has a blockbuster wannabe every week.
That being said, the article did mention wanting to work on the movie more, so it's possible they don't have content they're excited about yet.

Yeah, I have no anger over this move. If I had a blockbuster I'd avoid releasing it in the summer too.
James Cameron has made himself into one of the world's best filmmakers by releasing his movies during the "off season".
Avatar and Titanic have no business being so high up on the earnings lists, but they were released against no competition.

I watched that and found it not at all funny. I guess I'm officially a grumpy old man.

It was cute.
The one time I laughed was the quick cut to the black stormtrooper, "Man he is a DICK" or however that line went.

Luke is gay?
Can we just enjoy a movie without a political statement? Please?

If those gross, fat bitches spent ten years in a desert environment doing parkour every day for food money on starvation-level rations, they would look like Rey, too.
Fat people are fine. Fat people with vocal opinions like this need to first go fuck themselves, then have a little fucking discipline and stop shoveling food in their faces.

About those stop-motion wrestler thingies. But I have to wonder how this writer could find the time to pen an article, what with J.J. Abrahms's cock firmly jammed down his throat.
In so many different ways, J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens tried to capture the tone and intent of the original Star Wars trilogy without blatantly copying exactly what was done in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Tried and failed.

Admiral Ackbar passes away.
It was only a single line and he didn't even write it, but "It's a trap" is part of pop culture forever now.

Holy fuck. Also reprised the voice for X-Wing flight sim game back in the 90s.
