I've seen all the other 8 episodes, so I stumbled into a theater with this on.
Much of the time I spent wondering: how did this hodgepodge mishmash of cut-and-paste escape the studio docks? And feeling a bit sorry for Daisy Ridley getting stuck in such dreck. She seemed like a plucky actress, capable beyond what has been shown in this realm, and the role had so much hope attached, in theory, when she was selected. I'm glad she at least got paid for this, and hopefully she can live it down.
Several of the characters I thought were dead already. And/or they were never to be seen again, but apparently not. Really disappointing in the nfailure of script, stpryline, saga arc.
I watched the original Episode IV in cinema several times. And to find the whole works ends in this is a drag.
I don't recall a single point when I felt thrilled that the characters or story was in a positive trajectory. None of the characters seemed to draw in any empathy. I didn't heard one single member of the audience cheer, clap, shout, or anything. I wasn't listening for groans.
I don't recall any scene which demanded it be seen on silver screen.
I still consider Rogue One to be the best entry in this verse lately.

So.
Are you considering the possibility of getting sober by Monday?

Hate it when NYE falls on a Tuesday night. Work 1 day, then half a day, off Wed, then back to work for a day, maybe a day and a half.
Then the weekend again.
Ugh.

The weekend isn’t looking good for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, as it is falling a lot faster than I expected. If estimates hold, it will fall 59% to $72.0 million over the weekend for a running tally of $361.8 million after two weeks of release. However, this is still a massive amount of money. It is already the seventh-biggest hit released in 2019, and is on pace to earn third place on that chart, maybe even second. Internationally, the film added $94.3 million in 52 markets for a running tally of $363.0 million internationally and $724.8 million worldwide. That’s without any earnings from South Korea, where it will debut in a couple of weeks. It should have no trouble getting to $1 billion worldwide by the end of its run, but most were expecting a lot more than that. It is yet another profitable disappoint—and we saw too many of those in 2019.

That's a rough 2nd week.
Somebody will be fired.

Last night TNT aired Last Jedi for the first time. I watched even though I hated it in the theater two years ago. Yep, still sucks. Really sucks. I can only imagine how bad the new one is. But just out of curiosity I'll be watching it when it's available on cable On Demand for $5.99.

You could spend ony the $5, and sit in a comfy chair - there was plenty of seating vacant at the showing of Skywalker I went to.
All but one show of Jumanji was sold out (both sides of town), and I got one of 2 seats remaining in that one, but Skywalker had acres of empty seats.
