Clear of spoilers review. Read paragraph 6 as that will be my picking point on the radio show about Kylo Ren and the actor. Sorry dude but total miscast.

Big opening but it didn't beat Jurassic World all time international opening. It had China to thanks for that one. So now it's all up to China to make this the all time champion when it's released on Jan. 9.
Includes a cool chart showing how much it made in the different terrotories

Yep all the nods for tech awards but remember AFI picked this for the top 10 of the year and usually 7-8 get nominations for Oscars. It did make the shortlist for VFX. See article below.

Let's face it, the main competition are Mad Max and The Martian. Ant-Man is a surprise but what the hell is Tomorrowland doing here? No big deal on the visuals.

Bonus Section: Spoilers are included in the following articles:
These 3 articles cover a lot of ground on the movie. One thing for sure, it does bring up a lot of questions.Much more will be covered on the radio show before Xmas Day for sure.

14 big reveals. My biggest reveal was what a spoiled punk  Kylo Ren was with Daddy issues to boot. Really?

Numb, Ackbar, Raid 2 actors, Simon Pegg and Daniel Craig as a stormtrooper which was a highlight and one of the funniest scenes. But couldn't hear the "Force Ghosts" during the flashback scene. It was edited to fast to catch.

The three most annoying was when Maz said "another time maybe" not explaining how she got to own lightsaber, C3PO with that stupid red arm and R2D2 waking up at the last minute. Had a good nap trash can?

Note: More articles coming tomorrow on other subjects. Below my interview with Mark Hamill back in 1992.
