Nope, it is on FX right now. He has a new TV and thought something was wrong with it. If you were there when I was trying to explain how the blu-ray player works you wouldn't even say that.

Now we know where you get it from.

Haven't been in this thread recently, & so I'm not sure if this was posted yet. Seems she's lost around 40 Lbs so far for the role:

No, he means the story/conversation with you Dad sounds made up. For sure it's been crafted for ultimate jocularity.

This makes a lot of sense. I was hoping they would go with this story line.

I do hope he tones down the lens flare some though.

He will. We can thank his wife for that. To a point where he had to get ILM to remove some of the lens flares in Star Trek Into Darkness.

Best of luck to all involved. Make it a good one, JJ!

No, it's true - JJ likes to use a lot of lens flare in his movies. It is his signature or something

Episode 1-3 may not be what I was hoping for, but they're very enjoyable IMHO.

I'm more incensed at Greedo shooting first and ESPECIALLY Hayden Christianson replacing the old man at the end of Jedi as the spirit.

Other changes in the original trilogy annoy me as well, but neither so much as those two.

And I will say many of the new 'adds' I did like.

He was referring to the conversation stvn1974 allegedly had with his dad, not J.J.'s filming style. See below:

My dad just called me and asked me to turn to FX because he is watching Super 8 and thought there was something wrong with the channel because of all the lens flares. He said he would change the channel and it was the only one "doing that". I explained to him that it was the same director who did the last two Star Trek films and he said "oh, that guy."
