Solo: A Star Wars Story (Post-release)

True, but my point was merely that a sample size has to be somewhat relative. I could conduct a poll and tell you that 71% of people who responded liked this movie. But if I told you I only polled 7 people and 5 liked it, what does that say about being a realistic gauge of how people really feel. My point is it’s impossible to use that poll, as is, to support ones arguememt one way or another based on the sample size. Yes, polls are conducted all the time with a “sample” size, but it has to be somewhat representative to be valid.
Here’s a better way to illustrate my point. Almost every poll conducted prior to the 2016 election had Hilary Clinton favored to win, and look at how that turned out. (Mods, this is not a political discussion , just making a point). And I’m not going to get into a discussion about voter fraud, that election wasn’t the first time a poll was wrong. My point is sometimes too much validity can be placed on the results of polls, especially if the sample of those polled doesn’t reflect the greater population. And sometimes the information that’s missing in polls is what speaks volumes.
My wife is a market research executive, I understand how polls work and why if you ask the wrong questions of a limited sample size it can make data unrealiable. I pointed that out in The Last Jedi thread and suggested the poll wasn’t of sufficient size and the wording of the options poorly considered. I then posted a poll with 4X the sample size that showed a very different result. But people here simply want to hang their collective hat on this poll, so if they accept the TLJ poll as sacrosanct then they also have to accept this and the result. I was responding to a person who voted the film as “bad” asking those who voted “good or great” why they liked certain aspects. That made pointing out the tiny minority he was in germane to my response.

See! Damn it! I knew it! Freaking AMC sucks man. Good article Bryan. Too bad it pisses me off though ,especially with the automation aspect of projection. Technology isnt always a good thing. Very interesting points, and I agree with it completely.
Well, watched it enjoyed it but still like the original star wars better, meaning that its a good filler to the story line but I did enjoy Rogue 1 better.....I do still like # 7-8 better than Solo.....I just didn't like Ryans take on SW8 and hope JJ gets SW9 back on track......my raking in order of the best.......

Sounds like you can have any color you want in the Solo movie, as long as it's bland.

We generally hit the Harkins by our place in the north valley and I didn't notice any issues like this, ymmv of course.
I saw it at an AMC in downtown Phoenix and it was super-dark. May go see it again this weekend at a Harkins though...
I went to the Roadhouse Cinema off the 101 and Pima. Going there again today and will sit up a bit higher.
Interested to hear what you think.

When I saw it I was prepared for a barely visible presentation, but was pleasantly surprised to be able to make out most of it. Of course, the theater had just been remodeled with those stupid recliners, so maybe they upgraded the projector too.
Still dark but I think my vision is going south as I turn 50...
Enjoyed the score much more this time and the Qi'ra/Han relationship was better and more nuanced then I felt first viewing.

Saw it today and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Something I really appreciate about it is how they are blending and embracing the clone wars as fully canon

I know. But I like that they are integrated into the feature films.
