Re: SPOILERS HERE - StarWars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi Post Viewing Extravaganza - SPOILERS HERE
Yea, I am still sorting through all of my thoughts! I think I need to see it like 15 more times.
Note: I REALLY like the idea of Rey being an absolute nobody, and I hope that's the truth. Of course, the other theory is that she's a Kenobi. I didn't realize that when she picks up the lightsaber in The Force Awakens that she hears Obi-Wan.--
" If I had to bet, she's a descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi's bloodline. After all, Rey hears the voices of actors Alan Guinness and Ewan McGregor — who both played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the previous films — when she picks up Luke's lightsaber in the basement of Maz Kanata's castle in The Force Awakens. "
She definitely can't be a Solo or a Skywalker of any kind, or her chemistry with Ben Solo would be WAY too incesty. I don't see them making that move again after the Luke/Leia kiss. One incest reference per franchise, plz.

Also, did anyone else feel like Benicio Del Toro felt out of place? I kind of felt like he was a Guardians of the Galaxy character that popped in for some scenes.
I wanted more depth from that character. I thought they could have done so much more. And maybe they did, but had to cut for time/continuity. His picture in the Vanity Fair spread suggests there was (or maybe is, later) more than what we saw.

The porg scenes with Chewie were adorable and I loved them.
I really did like some of the scenes, though the various tight shots of peoples faces were strange (e.g. Rey describing force, Finn after defeating Phasma). The use of Luke's distraction then two suns shot was fantastic.
The hyperdrive fleet destruction might have been my favorite single moment, but some idiot a few rows back said "holy shit" loud enough for half the theater, then 7-10 people laughed and ruined that silence.
Like I said, I'm definitely going to see it again to get a "cleaner" viewing out of it.

I will need to go to Kunnhenn's on Fri the 29th or Sat the 30th if anyone's interested in making a small pilgrimage to the Olde Place of Drinking Yore.

Re: Pokemon GO
Since I had some good freetime today, I tried a dedicated adventure around town. Here are my thoughts about that.
- I'm somewhat certain that a member or members of Team Instinct in this area are using the proxy exploits or whatever you call it to go to every gym in town from home. Could only hold a gym for like 3 minutes before my one pokemon got destroyed and the gym filled with a full team with what appeared to be no one else in the area. :l
- Doesn't appear to be many Gen 3 Pokemon around here at the moment. I've seen 5 different new species so far. Still get Duskull and Sableye here so brings it up to 7. Kinda underwhelming but I think that might just be due to the new weather system.
- On that note, I like the new weather system despite the possible flaws with it so far. We get clear weather here the vast majority of the time, so I'm seeing a lot more grass and fire types. Some of my favorites.
- Finally got to take part in some raids and I'm fairly certain that I'll never be able to catch a legendary in this town due to the lack of people. I'm happy for the lower ranks of raids that I can solo or do with just a couple friends.
Not the best experience but I had fun overall.
