BTW, you're right about the cinematography and action scenes.

I'm simply saying there's much more to Han Solo's character than Finn's.  It didn't take 3 movies to figure that out, and it's got nothing to do with seeing this film through the prism of the original trilogy.  If that were true, I wouldn't care about any of the characters in the new...

I've already gone into why Han Solo is a more substantial character than Finn, and the example you gave trying show me how they're similar doesn't change that.  A New Hope was the exact same thing, you say?  You're damn right it was, and that's the problem with the movie.

Apparently, expecting any character development at all was unrealistic.  He doesn't know what side to take? He chose sides barely after the end of the opening crawl.  He doesn't know who to trust?  He certainly seems to trust Rey an awful lot.  Rey and Ren are certainly going on a journey, but...

  Comparing Han Solo with Finn is ridiculous.  Chewbacca, the Millennium Falcon, his life as a smuggler (which he really never stops being) are all inextricably linked to Han Solo's character.  Finn has none of that. He's a guy who became an ex-stormtrooper 5 minutes into the movie and that's...

I'll go ahead and assume you meant 33 years. As for Vader not being born in a day, of course that's true, but Vader, after Luke, was the most central character of the original trilogy. It was always going to take a long time to fully flesh out Vader's character.  Still, who Vader is and his role...

Hard to describe what a massive disappointment The Force Awakens was for me.  It's an endless parade of easter eggs and happy coincidences tacked on to a screenplay that was lifted almost entirely from A New Hope.  I suppose I should've expected as much from a JJ Abrams film.  In Star Trek Into...

Richard Strauss - Death and Transfiguration Beethoven - Piano Concerto #5 (Emperor)

Been waiting for this for awhile, and now it's only 2 weeks away....  

I've had the MA900 for roughly a month now, and all I can tell you is that the MA900 has caused me to sell my SA5000, K702, D2000 and HD650.  That's how good these phones are.

Has anyone noticed that there's been some remixing on some of these remasters?  I was just listening to Mission from Hold Your Fire and it seemed different, so I A-B'd it with the 1997 remaster and there were some significant differences in the keyboards.  Some Amazon reviewers are reporting...

Scorpions & Ratt in 1985 in Tacoma,WA.  Was rendered nearly deaf for next 3 days.  Also got to watch a girl beat up a drunken midget who tried to steal her ticket.

Quote:      Sad to say this is true, and it's not only Fly By Night, but also A Farewell To Kings.  Would not be surprised if other discs are found to have the same problems.  According to Rush.com, the problems are known and being addressed, but how long that will take is anybody's...

I've always thought the version from Fantasia was one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.
