Seems to me there a lot more lists this year and
nearly all of them are a bit 'off' if I'm using
the right word. Just a bunch of filler and not
worthy of generating much discussion. Guess we're
all worn out.
Maybe I missed it or it's too soon, but I haven't
seen the 10 biggest overreactions to the new Star
Wars movie yet. . .
Happy New Year's Miss C.
I don't know anyone who'd want to sift through all the butthurt fanboy reviews to make such a list. My favorite discussion of the movie is at FanFare, https://fanfare.metafilter.com/10441/Star-Wars-The-Last-Jedi but it would take you days to read it.
I'm just glad 2017 is over. The whole year sucked for me.
Happy New Year, gwdMaine!
