Rogue One. Went to see it today. Walked out half way through the movie

The best part was the two beers I had during the sneak previews.

This is what Mexicans call a Churro.

Warmed up bits and pieces of something you've already seen.

If there's something I hate more than wasting money, it is wasting time.

I must be easily amused. I enjoyed it, but I really don't have any high expectations for these things.

The last 30 minutes of the movie is when the story plays out. You made a bad mistake, though the drinking might have contributed to it.

I honestly don't know how this movie wasn't rated R. No wonder the fans are upset.

I usually don't have a problem with nudity or sex in movies. I much prefer that over violence. But Good Lord, little kids are going to see this movie.

If I nod off three times during the movie, I'm gone.

I guess I'll catch it in the reruns on netflix.

I must have been asleep! I nodded off at least 5-6 times, even took a 10-30 minute (?) nap. The beginning was OK, the middle was muddled (being asleep didn't help), but the finale was definitely worth waking up for.

Female nipples and male buttocks. I can't believe you missed it. Thank God I didn't bring my kids to it, but I saw a lot of shocked parents in the audience. We've come a long way from the days of cute little Ewoks.

Guess you'll have to see it again when you've had more sleep.

which can be split into two parts:

tenta, which means to feel

and culo which means ass.
