Coldplay always sucked, just like hatb(f). Star wars has always been big.

You know what the most hipster thing to do is? Hate on hipsters.

Exclusivity has always been desireable...ever more so now, with the Internet....

What do you propose they do? Make a new Star Wars on the down low? Only show it
