Just got back from Star Wars and I'm questioning why I had any expectations at all for it to be satisfying. I watched the trailers and tv ads a few days ago and I had a little anticipation, but in the end, I was disappointed. Basically if I ignore the bad acting and ridiculous dialogue I might find a bit more appreciation. However, all I feel is I'm watching the movie monster envisioned by a pompous director who suckered the world into giving him money to see it.

I'm glad the Star Wars nonsense is over. But there's a greater trouble lurking out there. It seems like recently all blockbusters aren't complete unless they degrade into some trilogy sequence. "Oh I've seen the first 2, and they sucked, but I really feel like I have see the third one!" ... Or something like that.
