It's only backed by only speculative value; if people got bored of it, prices will be 0 and coinbases will disappear, leaving the rest of crypto users with no way to even access their worthless CCs.

The thing is people by itself interested in not getting bored of it, because they will lose money. 

Not much of a guarantee; see Beanie Babies for an example.

Rose's #deep thought after saving Finn is still retarded, and actually pretty funny considering that the First Order immediately blows open the door after she says it and they all would have been slaughtered if Luke didn't show up. It doesn't make sense for Holdo not to tell Poe the plan considering she knows he's a loose-cannon and will make up his own plan if he can't find one to follow (which fucked EVERYTHING up for them).

in thinking about it, rose's little moment towards the end was probably the dumbest part of the movie for me

criticizing character actions and saying they don't make sense is a tricky criticism of a movie, because bad leaders do exist in real life, as well as good leaders who make bad or ill-advised decisions

i can personally see why holdo withheld the plans from poe—he was recently demoted for being a crazy insubordinate hothead, which understandably cost him a lot of trustworthiness in her eyes—and though it ultimately was a mistake for her to do so, that's just kinda the way the cookie crumbles

sometimes i make really bad chess moves and then i ask "why the fuck did i do that," but hindsight is 20/20

Being a crazy insubordinate hothead is the exact reason why she should have realized that keeping him in the dark is a bad idea; if he thinks there's no plan, he's going to make his own.

It would be one thing if she was portrayed as a bad leader, but she's not. She's a decorated veteran and war hero, everyone except Poe's mutiny squad followed her lead, she was ready to sacrifice herself if it meant saving the Reststance, and Leia backed her idea (which would have worked flawlessly if not for Poe's plan). Every single moment of her in the film portrays her as a good person and a good leader except her first interaction with Poe.

Her second bridge with him is much more reasonable, at least; he's only seen a tidbit of the plan, and immediately starts calling her a "coward and a traitor" (two things she very much is not). It's perfectly reasonable, and expected, for her to throw him off the bridge.

Just saw it again. Canto Bight wasn't as bad as I initially thought, although it still screws with the pacing and could have been done better. Super Leia's only really weird because of how they decided to show her motion and frame the scene.

Rose's #deep thought after saving Finn is still retarded, and actually pretty funny considering that the First Order immediately blows open the door after she says it and they all would have been slaughtered if Luke didn't show up. It doesn't make sense for Holdo not to tell Poe the plan considering she knows he's a loose-cannon and will make up his own plan if he can't find one to follow (which fucked EVERYTHING up for them).

Overall, it's a tie for my number 4 spot. Great movie with some noticeable flaws that manage to dim (but not snuff out) a bright installment in a beloved franchise.

Half of those gift cards were by design, others were just not having anything else I could think of.

Spoiler

More medium and two-shots would be nice though. Cinematography was pretty stale outside of the action sequences.

Spoiler

um, did you SEE the trippy mirror sequence

i walked out of this movie thinking that the cinematography was noticeably of a higher caliber than most other SW films

I wasn't giving that criticism in comparison to SW films (although OT does have a greater breadth of medium shots, usual for the time period), just the lazy trend recently of doing a wide shot for the scene's opening then a series of close-ups. I legit thought they would pan down at the end and show a bloodspot spreading through Luke's robe because they were only showing him through closeups.
