Last Jedi Breaks $600M World Wide


Our past shows are now downloaded on Youtube including our Jeid special.
 Next show is on 12/30/17. Happy Holidays and may the force be with you.

Mini-review: Last Jedi: 4 outta 5: Yeah it's a mess but mind you I never liked the plot for this trilogy to begin with. Action scenes were great and that big cameo from ESB got me. But story still sucks.

Update:

For a film thats getting a lot of hates this is doing huge business considering the 2nd film of the trilogies don't have that Wow factor. Even with ESB when first release. But what gets me is this has hardly adropoff as most films usually can have a 25-50 Percent audience drop off. And a lot of fans are going to back for the repeats. So much for the hate. But I will saythis on their behalf:
3 things are annoyed the shit out of me: Luke throwing the lite sable over his shoulder. WTF?
Note getting to know the Supreme Snoke. Who the hell was he anyways? Cut in half was cool tho.
Rey has drunk parents who sold her off for the booze? Man talk about bad parenting lol.

While a lot of films are going thruthis process, what gets me is the Director was cool and a cucumber. I worked on this film over 1 days thrua 3month period and never saw him freak out. More on the show. And yes I did shake hands with Hugh Jackman at the end of the shoot. Real cool guy.
Final note: While in 3rd place behind SW and Jumanji, this will do great overseas as they love Hugh no matter what he does. Les Miserables is proof racking in over $400M.

While the film is doing great all over, it's agreed that this one will not be up there in the record books with TFW. That great divide is hurting the box office especially when it's own fans got so much hatred against the film. Guess they joined the darkside after all. LOL.

While some might laugh at this, Disney takes this very serious as also Warners DC. This is how they make and break thier business. And if they can't sell the toys aka JL then plan B takes affect.

That's a lot of cameos considering most of them are to quick to notice. What a waste.

We've been saying this for years. And it's mentioned in the article. Like the record business ignored Napster and it crumbled the industry is exactly what is happening to the studios. They don't want to adapt to the new model and it's sinking fast. Disney was on top of it while the others are still under a rock. Idiots. As far as losing jobs, many are going to streaming shows which is expanding like crazy. Again crying and bitching about the new model replacing the old.
