Stars Wars: The Force Awakens
I know, I know. This one is kinda low hanging fruit, but you have to understand, I never got a chance while growing up to write about any of this shit. I was too busy loving it and being engrossed by it and not being a writer at the time, so this will be my first chance as a writer to talk about the Star Wars movies AS THEY HAPPEN.
Also, I’m a fan of J.J. Abrams and will openly admit it. From his knowledge of how to make viral campaigns work and get people buzzing to the way he treated Star Trek, this guy gets it. I also believe that Abrams knew that this would be a huge undertaking and that he would be under everyone’s microscope, so for that reason, I don’t believe that he will deliver a Star Wars movie that is anything less than awesome.
Though the teaser for the film may have been short, and the saber may have been weird, Abrams just wanted to get us a little moist and create a buzz, and that is EXACTLY what he did. Plus, he knows that the next director who fucks up Star Wars will literally get crucified by the fans. Seriously, nails through palms and shit. Abrams is too smart a man to let that happen to himself.
No offense, Jesus.
