They’re a set of kid’s films about space and light-sticks

Tone matters, yeah. I think some of this ‘disbelief’ is definitely a hyperbolic piss-take. While other times, yeah, it seems oddly like people really do believe that watching superhero movies is a sign of being a manbaby or something odd like that.

oh right. not a massive star wars fan, but I thought the first act was pretty fucking sweet. the second act killed it for me, though. can’t remember what happened in the last hour or so, tbh

not gonna go into my reasons for not liking the second act though, cos this is a dedicated SSP thread

Wasn’t really a date story I’m afraid.

I enjoyed The Force Awakens a lot. It wasn’t the most inventive film and I don’t think you can defend it from comments about lack of inventiveness, but after those prequels I just didn’t want it to make me cringe that I was even watching it, so it was well above that level.

Only on DiS could a thread about awkward dates end up in a 100+ thread where Theo types paragraph after paragraph about Star Wars.

Fair description of the majority of fans, tbf

Don’t ask a stupid question then!

He probably thinks of it as “I went for a drink with this girl who just lies about everything. Well, I’m too smart for that, she couldn’t fool me”

manches · 2016-09-23T19:03:22.809Z

Why do I feel like he was a character played by Will Arnett?

iamwiggy · 2016-09-23T19:08:15.696Z

i was someone’s terrible date a while back. i brought a friend with me and decided we should drink vodka in the park instead of cider in a pub

didn’t see her again

be pretty surprised if she’s ever been on a worse date tbh

_Em · 2016-09-23T19:10:23.085Z

Similar levels of being a dick? They didn’t really look alike though, and he was grumpier and slower rather than manic and nervous.

manches · 2016-09-23T19:59:18.459Z

specifically, I realise he was reminding me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N1aDaeeyX4 (couldn’t find the aggressive insistence that Leslie have an MRI scan).

He sounds like a nightmare, though! Some of the others in this thread, I can kind of interpret them maybe being aloof out of being extremely nervous or something, but maaaaaan.
