Tag: Daisy Ridley

I saw Rogue One last night and it was an interesting movie.  I enjoyed it but at the same time didn’t love it.  And I can’t point to a flaw so much as it just never really rose above what it was.  But I did like it.  But you know what I really like? Daisy Ridley.  Among the things in Rogue One that didn’t really help it out was that the characters were by necessity thinly sketched and it reminded me how much I like the new characters in Force Awakens.  I am sure someone will comment that Rey is a Mary Sue but those people don’t know what a Mary Sue is, because it didn’t feel like self insertion from JJ Abrams to me, and also are sexists.  I’ll just come out and say that because no one had issue with Luke blowing up the Death Star without a targeting computer.  Space Wizardry is only bullshit when it’s a girl I guess.  Anyway, I will probably have to make a decision tonight to reward the original trilogy and then Force Awakens over this coming week or cram in the Christmas movies I really want to see. Or do both and just never leave my house.  All viable, socially healthy options.  Anyway, Daisy Ridley is wonderful and we’re lucky yo have her, even if you don’t realize it.  It’s the season to remind you there was another guy once some people were too cool to like and all he wanted to do was bring us all peace and joy.  This cool brother’s name was Chris Kringle and all he wanted was for children to feel joy but Burgermeister Meisterburger was basically a giant dick with daddy issues so he outlawed toys.  Long story short, he’s dead and Chris Kringle was granted the mantel of immorality.  SO you can be a cranky old Burgermeister Meisterburger but you’ll end up dead and no one will give a fuck and they won’t even recognize your name.  But ol’ Chris Kringle?  Well he became Santa Claus and everyone knows his name.  Which side of history do you want to be on?  Think about it.  Today I want to fuck Daisy Ridley.

So lots of exciting Star Wars news this weekend if you’re a huge fucking nerd.  I actually have been rewatching the movies over the past week or so and finished up the Force Awakens last night so it’s coincidence that it’s at the same time we find out that Grand Admiral Thrawn will be canon again and so on. It all does have me feeling like I am 10 again.  In that I want to talk about Star Wars and like, there is no one around who wants to talk about Star Wars. Like most of yesterday was me trying to engage friends and no one caring.  Anyway, it makes me think about how lucky we are to have people like Daisy Ridley, who is not only fantastic as Rey but also great at engaging about Star Wars.  Her and John Boyega both.  It’s nice cause these are the one pop culture thing that can kind of give me chills when I hear the openings of the theme.  I know that’s nostalgia.  I am fine with it.  I am just glad it’s out there, we all need a thing like that sometimes.  And man it’s easy to crush on Daisy Ridley.  Which is why she’s here.  Because I do.  Today I want to fuck Daisy Ridley.

Guys, I love Star Wars.  Love Star Wars. Star Wars is Great! (Also, before I get into this you know what else is great?  The beautiful and brilliant @thunderstormofoblivion whose birthday I forgot like a jerk so I should just go on record here that she is great.  So no one can claim not to know that)  I might have watched the Force Awakens last night.  Twice.  Maybe.  sorta.  Definitely.  I realize some people had complaints about this one but as I have gotten older I have realized that a lot of people are wrong.  Ridiculously so.  It was great and Daisy Ridley is so fantastic and charming.  Rey is a great character.  I realize people also have problems with her but you know… we know why.  Sorry guys, it’s the truth, you know what you don’t like a female lead and so do we.  She is amazing in it.  Really all the new characters are amazing.  I feel like we’ve been through all this because I think I made this exact same post after I saw it on opening day.  I love it.  It’s just so great.  I love it.  I love that children love it.  I love that adults love it.  I love that there is a Star Wars again that everyone can enjoy (except you know, the certain sad angry nerds who love to hate).  So anyway, here is Daisy Ridley who I love because she is such a bad ass.  Like for real too, she can bench press a plane or something.  It’s unreal.  Today I want to fuck Daisy Ridley.

Here is Daisy Ridley because she showed up in a dream I had last night which probably means I have moved on to full blown obsession.  Oh well.  I could see it coming.  Of course, I am in real danger of running out of pictures of her to post because she’s only been famous for a very short time.  Like a year and half if you’re being really generous but realistically just a few months now.  And I am pretty convinced she’ll be big.  She seems charming and talented, I was watching her and Oscar Isaac sing Christmas songs the other day and she has a really nice voice.  It seems like she will be bigger but right now… I am almost out of pictures it feels like. Anyway, here she is.  I like her a lot.  Today I want to fuck Daisy Ridley.

Here is Daisy Ridley because I love Star Wars.  I can probably just stop there.  I won’t.  If you thought I’d make a short post you don’t know me very well.  I usually don’t post pictures from things like Instagram cause they tend to lack the quality I am after but I had to include them here because quite often her pictures are adorable.  I mean, she doesn’t quite match the adorableness of John Boyega getting to see the Millennium Falcon for the frist time but let’s be honest, that’s a really high bar.  She is adorable though and I love the enthusiasm for the work and.. all of it makes me happy.  And she played my favorite character.  I think.  Anyway, I have been thinking about the latest movie a lot, because while Star Wars doesn’t ever bear the weight of over thinking the logics of the universe it works very well for over thinking themes and morality and character motivations.  And mainly that has me thinking about Rey for lots of reasons I cannot get into because I know people still haven’t seen the movie.  Anyway, that has me thinking about Daisy Ridley who now I am way into because you know… Star Wars.  Today I want to fuck Daisy Ridley.

Now, I realize it could seem like I have been sitting on this one in my back pocket or something.  Waiting to post Daisy Ridley until the most appropriate moment.  I haven’t.  That’s not how this blog works.  The truth is Daisy Ridley has been everywhere for a little while now, you know, the marketing push and all.  I just kind of shrugged and decided she was not really my type.  Well, it turns out if you put her in Star Wars she becomes my type.  I really should have seen this coming.  It’s the middle of the night and I just got home from seeing The Force Awakens and I really liked it guys.  I am a little distrustful of my own brain because I remember when we all saw The Phantom Menace.  This feels different though.  I rewatched the original trilogy this week leading up and the thing that struck me watching them was the human moments.  There is talk about how lived in the original Star Wars trilogy was but a big element also, and they kind of go hand and hand, was that it felt inhabited by real people.  The look on Han’s face when he tries to bullshit his way through a conversation on the detention level, Luke rolling his eyes, Leia having to deal with being the only woman on in the galaxy.  This feels the same way.  Not only lived in but we have a story, no matter how fantastic, about people, not about special effects.  Suddenly the dialog feels natural even though it’s talking about bullshit made up space ship parts.  This is because the new cast is so damn good.  They are perfect.  I kind of love how great they are in this.  I can’t decide who I like the best, John Boyega or Daisy Ridley but I am leaning Ridley at the moment.  She’s fantastic.  And her character Rey is great.  I really don’t think I could be happier with the new characters.  They are prefect.   And it turns out putting Daisy Ridly in weird Star Wars sand rags and having her walk around in the desert is what does it for me.  What an oddly specific thing to be into but man she was so damn awesome.  I totally call getting to be Rey when we play Star Wars guys.  Today I want to fuck Daisy Ridley.
