Oscar nominations came out and people are up in arms that the awful whitewashed Straight Outta Compton didn't get nominated for a bunch of poo poo. I understand you need to support the main characters in a movie, but turning those flawed assholes into heroes and changing the narrative of something so recent that people in this country that grew up with NWA already know was loving stupid.

Wait, they whitewashed Straight Outta Compton? How does that work? All I heard was that Ice Cube's son was playing himself. They whitewashed the other roles? That's really dumb.

Whitewashed in the sense that it kind of glossed over a lot of their more prominent flaws, like Dre's issues with women. Not whitewashed in the sense that the actor for Eazy E is white.

It's incredible that we've reached the point where upon hearing that a fictional account was whitewashed, our first thought is "They made black people white." The actual definition instead of the social justice pun just flies over our heads.

It's a pretty funny video but it's not even close to being in the "hood". It's right off the 101 and Vine in Hollywood. I bet it didn't take them very long to film this. Having done something similar you'd be surprised how quickly someone comes along and takes a bike that isn't locked up.

It wouldn't matter even if it was perfect logic. Yes, you denied the filmmakers of $4-million. Guess they'll have to cry themselves to sleep with the other $1.94-billion the film made.

I recall being told that somewhere, Lucas said he was annoyed that the new film did so well. Can anyone confirm/deny? Because if he really was mad that the movie did so great without his interference...

In the Red Letter Media reviews they convincingly show how annoyed he was at how well Titanic was doing, so for his own franchise doing record breaking numbers without him must rile him.

Ah, yes, the 'like I sold my film to white slavers' or such line that he took back a day or so later after the film's first success weekend. Sour grapes are best when taken from the tree ala lightsaber. But it does show that the main problem with the franchise was him. It's hard to watch The Force Awakens and notice that the frame isn't jampacked with CGI characters like the world's weirdest Mad Magazine fold-in. There's a lot going on, but there's a sense of style in the mise-en-scene that Lucas just did not understand. Not to mention that the pacing was miles above anything in the first six films, the dialogue was decent, and the movie had a nice flow to it. It's like everybody watched the Red Letter Media critiques of the second trilogy and learned from them. Then again, they weren't trying to claim sole credit for a movie franchise that they sank, either. ultrabindu posted:Is Lucas not a Disney stock holder now? I thought that some of the $4billion was stocks/shares and the rest was cash when he sold LucasFilm. The way Lucas flipped out and then retracted that statement doesn't really sound like an employee being reined in as much as someone's handlers saying 'cut it out, we don't want to piss off Disney.' That said, the best schadenfreude for this whole thing is Disney tossing out Lucas' ideas for Episode 7 because they seemed too much like Episodes 1-3.

Sour grapes are best when taken from the tree ala lightsaber. Most of this I agree with but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater in claiming the new movie is better then the original trilogy. Marcia Lucas did an unbelievable job editing those movies, and if anything, one of the few legit criticisms of the new movies is it moves extremely fast to a slight detriment to the plot a couple times.

I recently watched Episodes 4, 5, 2, 3, 6 in that order (the "Machete order") like I assume an awful lot of people did. This was the first time I'd watched them in this order or that close in time (did it over about a week) and a few things stood out: - The story of 2 & 3 isn't *that* awful, but the dialogue and pacing is. - Return of the Jedi is a fantastic movie. - All of the "Special Edition" bits were loving terrible, stuck out like a sore thumb and made the original movies worse. This is an important one because almost the whole of the 3 prequels were seemingly made with the same philosophy as the Special Edition add-ins for Eps 4-6, which ties in with what Mad Doctor Cthulu said: Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:But it does show that the main problem with the franchise was him. It's hard to watch The Force Awakens and notice that the frame isn't jampacked with CGI characters like the world's weirdest Mad Magazine fold-in. Totally agree with this. They got the balance way better in TFA.
