I don't have much desire to see that one. There is quite a movement of Star Wars fans on youtube right now...videos urging the boycott of the film and demanding that this woman at Disney who is in charge of Star Wars to be fired. LOL. There's a ton of them. By the way, I can't think of an actor who fits less into the Star Wars universe than Woody Harrelson.

\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Solo not doing so good at the box office: http://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/03/movies/solo-a-star-wars-story-box-office.html

My guess is that the woman they want out is Kathleen Kennedy, and I personally wouldn't mind if they got rid of her too. She's far too meddling. I understand what you mean about Woody Harrelson, too. I did not think he would fit into The Hunger Games or in the last Planet of the Apes movie, but he did a good job, and he also was fine in the Solo movie.

I still haven't seen Solo but will at some point. I just discovered last night that Blade Runner 2049 is now on HBO. Will watch that one shortly. Also have "Aliens" recorded on the DVR! That is my favorite of all the Alien sequels, by far. It was actually quite a good film in its own right. Sorry to go off topic.

I can’t only think of maybe 4 or 5 movies 8’vr seen with Woody, but I don’t remember ever thinking he felt out of place in any of them. I have to wonder if people would question his casting in a movie if he didn’t have the same first name as his character in Cheers. As as for Solo, I thought he was a great fit for the character he played. It seems like the exact role I would expect for him based on his recent roles. 1

Aliens is the best sequel of the Alien franchise, because all of the other sequels suck! I'm not trying to put down Aliens, it is a fun movie. I just wish they would put the Alien franchise on the shelf for good. There is nothing more that they can get out of that franchise.
major Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Solo was a pleasant surprise. However, I was comparing it to TLJ; therefore, the bar was way low

As they did Blade Runner. 2049 was awesome. 6 hours ago, major said: Solo was a pleasant surprise. However, I was comparing it to TLJ; therefore, the bar was way low Don't compare it to that. I would compare it to Rogue One and the future stand-alones.
ChevyVanMiller Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Went and saw Deadpool 2 the other day and agree with the comments that it was a worthy companion to the original and laugh-out-loud funny. With that said, how about that trailer of the Melissa McCarthy movie with the Muppet (ahem) extended happy ending? Wowzer...

(The judge told them too bad, so sad.) I do not know if they are appealing. My husband thought that was the most hilarious trailer he's seen in a long time. I thought it was stupid. I bet it makes bank.
