For the life of me I can never understand how someone can look at this gif as a bad thing. Like, sure, point out whatever flaws the prequel trilogy has all you want, I don't give a poo poo, but look at that. That unabashedly owns.

They're not trying to hit each other, they're each rapidly feinting because they're superfast psychics. You can say that's stupid but the scene isn't trying to make you think those blows are connecting.

Sure, yeah. I get it. But that's a very different film in every way. Just like how "I love you" "I know" fits there, but wouldn't between Amidala and Anakin.

Like, just Occam's Razoring this poo poo, I have no idea how you read that as "in this meticulously choreographed battle, these two characters are trying very skillfully and viciously to hit each other - but somehow their needlessly fancy and theatrical movements come nowhere near each other". It's posturing. It's incredibly earnest, angry posturing on the part of both characters. If they'd just disengaged from some sword passes and ONE of them made this kind of elaborate, spinny motions with their lightsabers, it'd be this very recognizable moment of "A-ha! Impressive, but you won't get me that easily." Instead, they're both doing it, and it's this whirlwind of incredibly precise, incredibly powerful, incredibly impotent nonsense. I suppose that's why I appreciate it so much in gif form and would maybe not be so in love with it if I saw the movie again - it's that much better when they're locked in this state FOREVER. "I'm spinning my loving lightsaber!" "No, I'M spinning MY loving lightsaber!"

I don't know, considering Lucas I feel like it's just posturing on the part of the filmmaker. You're supposed to think "WOW LOOK AT THOSE LIGHTSABERS WHIZ BY! THESE GUYS SURE CAN DO SOME FANCY THINGS WITH THEM" and not that Lucas wanted you to think they're trying to not hit each other so they look cool. If there were actually two sword fighters at the top of their game who sincerely wanted to kill the poo poo out of each other, sure. It's a movie though. A kind-of sloppy movie.

Man, Edgar Wright had been working on Ant-Man since before Iron Man 1. That's a long rear end time to suddenly have something yanked away from you. What's a little more disconcerting is that there's suddenly rumours that Wright was behind on production and budget and Marvel got fed up, which is totally a studio move to discredit the other party and make them seem reasonable. What's funny is that people were way more jazzed about a Wright movie than they were an Ant-Man movie. Now that Marvel have tasted massive success they don't want to let that go. They've been on a good run. They've had Pixar level success, but sooner or later someone is going to make CARS and it's all going to fall apart.

I always find arguments over the realism of light saber fighting to be pretty funny.

It would just be really bland and anticlimactic. I think the Realistic-ish swordplay... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIF8qouivIU Entertaining swordplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpTUAOYrSII I honestly just wanted an excuse to bring up that scene because holy poo poo do I love it. If either of them fought like they did initially they would have beaten the other guy, but nope, and I am happy for that.

Even though John Lassiter had legitimate reasons to make CARS, it feels like a product rather than a vision.

Skwirl posted:It's loving poo poo storytelling is what it is. Ignoring all other Star Wars, compare it to the train fight in From Russia With Love. Or exclude fight scenes entirely, it's like if Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf had a three minute sequence where Richard Burton and Liz Taylor just said "No, your ugly and dumb," to each other, ad nauseum. Except the shot is about a second and a half long, not a dumb three minute hypothetical scene. Unless you are saying that that entire lightsaber fight is poo poo storytelling, in which case I don't understand why you wouldn't love the one silly bit.

Nah, twirling lightsabers is an American tradition and one of the only memorable things from the prequels. Honestly, it is no less goofy than say... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kpHK4YIwY4 with it's wide slow sweeping attacks that leave plenty of time for even the most inept person to break through. Light saber fights are all about style and the prequels just turn that up to eleven and make them basically like futuristic light shows/dance competitions, which at least makes them fun to watch. Edit: I am not saying that they are amazing, but they are one of the only competent things about the prequels. Fat Lou fucked around with this message at 09:31 on May 24, 2014 |

The Die Another Day sword fight owns though, and it also feels pretty real. Yes, it's all fun and dramatic, but none of the characters are loving around with their weapons trying to be cool. They're attacking each other, trying to draw blood.

FishBulb posted:Women can't really be gay. I mean how can they have sex, neither of them has a penis  Going to go ahead and add my two cents that there is no one they could realistically find to replace Wright that would in any way make me remotely interested in Antman the way having Wright attached to it did. Like, unless they necromance Kubrick from the loving grave and use arcane knowledge to yoke his unnatural existence to this project, there is no way I am going to give a poo poo about an Antman movie. Even as a comic book fan I never gave a poo poo about Antman.

I feel at this point a large percentage of the criticism of the prequels has just kind of of become stuff that people mindlessly repeat rather than stuff they objectively think about.

It's not a very good movie but it's still a pretty drat creative one that's dragged down by being a sequel. Cars is a film that came from a dumb but genuine place. Cars 2 is a movie that kind of loses that but when it's at it's best it's also WAY better than the first one. I'd take the intro to Cars 2 over pretty much any part of the original.
