I don't remember it, though I know I saw it.

But that still pushes us back to 1991 at best. Mumford and Dreamcatcher were abysmal.

I've really never been a big Kasdan fan. Outside of the Big Chill, he's never done anything I've really loved. He's always had this weird status. I don't know. I'm not sure it's earned.

I think his status is pretty much all due to Empire and Raiders. And a little Big Chill and Body Heat.

Yeah, Raiders is a lot of fun. And Empire is brilliant. Still, though. He was co-writer on Empire.

I don't know. I still don't get it. *shrugs*

Colin Trevorrow is probably about at their level, though.

Yep. And his follow-up to Shit World is going to be Star Wars: Episode IX - A New Shit

If you can't let go and get happy about a new Star Wars film? You're fucked. Basically fucked.

I would be excited if I thought it looked exciting. Or if there were exciting people involved. Hence, I am excited for Rogue One - not this.

Is this the first Star Wars to show blood? Also where's the Enterprise in all of this?
