https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/s/UYndPQJ553 Kind of NSFL in the horrific sense even though you don’t see the aftermath. Car appears to drive down the street and realizes it’s rolling up on an Israeli tank around a building. Stops. Turns around. Tank blows it to smithereens anyways. Reminds me of when that Russian BMP diced up that car with the elderly couple in it.

Unfortunately that’s not correct. The Astros losing is and always will be a good thing. Maybe we can thank him for something for the first time in his life. -
Nah just like annoying 20-somethings scream reacting to whatever video game they’re playing or video they’re watching. Really boring shit. My oldest turns into an absolute monster after even half an hour watching that stuff. Won’t turn it off or react to you. Screams and cries when you force him to. And he’ll sit and watch for hours if you let him.

Never thought I’d be the parent banning seemingly innocuous shit but YT has been banned for my kids.

I have tried to get across this same concept to so many people I've discussed this movie with. Lost count of how many times I've said "Okay you're approaching the movie on your terms. I'm approaching the movie on its terms, like the way you've approached literally every other movie ever made except this one." I actually very much agree with something @Bacon posted on the first page. Jump into the future please. Like really far into the future. Go ahead and reference OT characters in a throwaway line or object or something but please don't have them physically present in the films.

It was. I enjoyed reading through the convo. For the record I'm on the "TLJ is great" train for many of the reasons mentioned throughout the thread. But I think what really hits home for me in that movie is actually the thing its detractors most despise: Luke's portrayal. Like, I get it, seeing Luke run in with a laser sword and taking down the First Order would have been cool. That's actually exactly what I was wanting and hoping for when I was anticipating the movie. But I don't think it would have been good. When I was a kid I loved Luke and wanted to be Luke. What young boy didn't? But realistically I couldn't relate to Luke. Sure I wanted to go off on some adventure and be the good guy and hero and all that. But my dad wasn't space Hitler, you know? Now that I'm older, I can relate a lot to Luke in TLJ: I've had a crisis of faith. I've let people down who expected better of me due to my imperfections. I've been at my wits' end trying to discipline and guide an unruly child. I've failed at various and sundry things I've attempted and felt reclusive. I guess to relate that back to what was discussed earlier, I feel like a lot of adult males didn't appreciate that mirror being held up in front of them. Or haven't had those types of experiences and trials in their lives. I almost wish I could say the same but the movie makes a really great point about those experiences being teachers. New and revelatory? No. But beautifully told. And we still get a really badass Luke moment anyways.
