I say add a -.5 penalty for a wrong character or ship and Kylo Ren is an option.

Blue star post if agree

Doesn't that mean it's still advantageous to say yes to all of them?

Not necessarily. There's obviously only going to be a small percentage of those characters and ships in the trailer.

Guessing all of them would definitely equal negative points

Why not just one point for a yes, minus one point for a no?

That's fine too. I only said -.5 simply to try and have more end points that are positive.

We can make it -1 point for a wrong answer

I cant believe you nerds are debating the scoring system.

If 10 characters are in the trailer and you say yes to all 29, you get 10 points.

If 10 characters are in the trailer and you say yes to those 10 and no to the other 19, you get 29 points.

You get a point for saying who IS or IS NOT in the trailer.

It's a true or false test. You don't pick true for all the answers and get a 100.

Lol. Ok that's fine.

You still forgot to add Kylo Ren though....

So what number should Kylo be? 4? And then move everyone down a number? Does it matter?

Ive added kylo ren. I'm also going to purposely miscount anybody's points who complain starting now.

I was on the Regal site and saw that they listed the runtime as 155 minutes.

I googled and saw that's it's being reported on several sources, but nobody is sure what the actual source of that runtime is.

This reddit post seems to be the first place to have mentioned that runtime. Not sure if some theaters are running with the rumor or if it's an official runtime.

The place I typically go to for movies is total runtime + 50 minutes between start times. If using that as an estimator holds up, this movie is going to be 2 hours & 55 minutes. Maybe the reality is they are expecting to have more trailer / commercial time - I don't know.

I'm going to a different theater for opening night. It is an AMC instead of a Cinemark; what is my best bet on tickets? AMC's website or Fandango... don't want to screw this up.

I believe Fandango was one of the first sites to go down for TFA.

In case anyone wants to relive that night: https://texags.com/forums/13/topics/2440759/208

So are we sure that tickets will go on sale AFTER the trailer?

Pretty sure I was able to get my TLJ tickets during the 2nd Quarter of the game last year. So if the trailer is at halftime, start checking sometime before that.

I came here to check in on the buzz and ended up reading a math conversation. I want my money back.

For eleventy billion points, I say they show Luke in the trailer in non-ghost form.

In all seriousness, for whatever reason, this comment made realize that the sequel trilogy so far is missing one big element the past two trilogies featured heavily... romance. Anakin/Padme, Han/Leia. Yes, that element was handled horribly in the prequels, obviously, but without it so far the sequel trilogy has felt weirdly androgynous and sterile. Sure, there was Finn/Rose in TLJ, but that was a single kiss that basically came out of no where and it's pretty apparent Finn doesn't share Rose's romantic feelings. So I wonder if TROS will dip a toe in those waters or not? I've just never really had anything to latch onto with these new characters and some kind of romantic relationship would have gone long way toward that.

There's Reylo, of course, which will be addressed in some small way in TROS, it sounds like, but obviously not acted upon. There's Rey/Poe, which was maybe kind of sort of hinted at at the end of TLJ. There's Rey/Finn, seeing as Finn was clearly into Rey when they first met (asking if she had a boyfriend). And then there's Finn/Poe, of course, which we all know won't actually happen. None of those really make much sense, so it might be moot at this point, but overall it's just weird that they've left this element out completely so far, seeing as it was such a big part of the last two trilogies.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but do you guys recommend IMAX (I only do 2D) or Dolby for this kind of movie? I've never done Dolby before, but I've heard great things. Just not sure if it's worth it on a smaller screen than IMAX.
