But just on going alone....again, sure you all get away with it, and many people go alone, but it's like when I do it, people make an effort to notice, say things, snicker, whisper and point, etc. And honestly, I walk in cool as a cucumber, and act like it's normal. But soon it all starts (the comments, etc) and it gradually breaks me down to a self-conscious mess.
I'm sorry to hear that. If it were me, I'd be angry and start smashing the seats, then I'd kill those people, regardless of who they are; even my own father if I had to.

Anyway, I better log off, can't be spending too much time on bigfooty when there's murderers, traitors and thieves that need to be destroyed.

One cool thing someone online mentioned. If you watch all the trailers all scenes with Luke/Rey have a blue/green tone to them. All scenes with Kylo have a red tone. And all other scenes are a grey tone.

Does that mean all scenes between Luke/Rey and Kylo/Snoke are yellow in tone? :p

The other thing I hate doing in cinemas is laughing out loud, especially if you're one of the few or only one who laughs among the people around you.

I just sit there like a statue, unable to make a noise, move a muscle, make any expression, lest i be ridiculed.
You bought your ticket. Own it. Be this guy..

..just maybe laugh more appropriately and try to tone down the murdering everybody factor.
:p

You probably look like an easy target/pathetic. Get your angry face on and people will leave you alone.

I really am mostly invested in seeing how they portray Finn in TLJ now, if Rian has truly thought about this character, and explored a myriad of the issues that TFA failed to even establish properly.
This is a very good video essay, and the comments section full of good points.

new footage was shown with CoCo, had Rey and Chewie telling Luke that they need his help. He then says "Why would I go to the most unfindable location in the galaxy if I wanted to help?"

He's in his 2nd of his 3 outfits in this scene.

It looks pretty good, but it looks to be following the exact same formula as Force Awakens pacing and style, which in some places felt a bit contrived, hard to explain...

Hopefully it at least has a new story that isn't copying something else directly, so something fresh and a great movie is what we want...

fingers crossed it's damn good!

Well, what exactly is the story of TLJ? Already people have been piecing together all that is known.....

- Movie opens with evacuation of D'Qar base and subsequent huge space battle which the FO wins.
- Rose loses her sister in the battle
- Rey and Luke's meeting on Ach-To is explored
- Movie then dwells on Kylo and Snoke's teachings
- Then moves to Leia and that aspect of the Resistance as they scramble together and devise a next move
- Finn wakes up and is given a mission to Canto Bight, this is where Rose becomes an accidental hero and tags along
- There's a whole sequence on Canto Bight, espionage Bond-style under the backdrop of an affluent society
- The mission goes awry as Benicio Del Toro's character back-stabs Finn and Rose
- The FO under Captain Phasma lead an assault, and it's when we probably see all those explosions and Finn and Phasma facing off

From there there's a lot missing, much time goes by. Supposedly the FO also arrives on Ach-To and causes Chewy, Rey and Luke to flee. But ultimately the resistance moves their base to Crait, and Rey makes her way there as now a Jedi, to help her friends, who are in danger, because the FO has intercepted intel, discovered the new base, a huge attack is made there. Perhaps again the FO wins that one, with yet another evacuation, and possibly this is when Kylo ponders pulling the trigger on Leia. Rey is likely captured on Crait, possibly after a battle with Kylo, and taken before Snoke. And then more missing story from here on. With rumors like Luke coming to Rey's rescue, and a face-to-face meeting with Snoke and some huge reveal, and/or Kylo and Rey teaming up, and/or some lightsaber battle between four combatants in the one scene, like Luke, Rey, Snoke, Kylo. Basically the movie perhaps culminates here on Snoke's command vessel, with a cliff-hanger and/or shock reveal.

Just can't get hyped for this movie. All these new characters are shite.

After only getting around to watching the OT a couple of months ago and then enduring the mess that was TFA, I just can't get enthused for what looks to be more of the same.

Kylo Ren is a bigger disappointment than Jar Jar Binks. Hopefully he is killed off early and Luke gets all the screen time.
