WampaLord posted:I forget Geteven, but Double Down is a perfect example. Neil Breen is the best at everything and is obviously a self insert.  Geteven was the guy who was a lawyer in real life who made a movie about a dude's wife who was killed and he goes on a killing spree but they spend way too much time with him and his wife, he tells jokes to the wait staff, is a kung fu master, song writer, singer. He even did the movie's soundtrack himself. The antagonist is a judge who is also a satanic priest (because he's projecting what he thinks about judges based on his real life lawyer experiences). Edit: Oh Christ he's even a Shakespeare aficionado! Probably the most cringeworthy scene. The Archaic fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Jan 16, 2017 |

Dylan McKay posted:i never noticed those mustache dudes before, cool The most prominent one is Grinbo Niblick. He is from a race of mustache dudes whose entire culture and economy is based on being white dudes with mustaches. Their homeworld has a distinct mustache shaped asteroid cluster surrounding it. They were key players in the early republic and he was a good friend of both Ben Kenobi and Anakin.

Where the full screen effect cuts out nearly half the movie, so you probably never even saw them. Watching the OT in letterbox is like watching it all again for the first time.

I love how Episode 1 tried to do the same thing as Episode 4 by having a princess congratulate all the heroes but it was so loving weird and nothing made any sense while it was happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTDeA313H80 What the gently caress is going onnnnn?

Imagine if the role of the Trade Federation had been reduced, and the movie was mainly about the Jedis stopping a civil war between the humans and the Gungans. I think the movie would've made more sense, because it already has a ton of stuff about the relationship between the humans and the Gungans but it never really amounts to anything or matters. But on the other hand, there would've been a lot more Gungan time in the movie.

Jesus, it is not a hard scene to understand unless you're being willfully obtuse or are narratively illiterate. You already know the big ball is some kind of trophy or award or symbol of friendship, do you need twenty minutes backstory setting it up? Of all the things to complain about in those movies.

I'd have loll'd if the big gungan ate the magic glowy orb like it was a snack and all the humans were horrified roll credits.

A symbol of friendship like you say? As someone else said it's exactly like the elctro-acid balls that were in the gungan battle earlier. Why do we need glowing blue balls instead of a medal which everyone can understand? It speaks to the decision making and directing of George Lucas, how every decision makes little to no sense.

Why didn't he lift it over his head? If it had gone off it would have poured acid all over his face.

WampaLord posted:I mean, you're comparing apples and oranges here. Lucas wasn't sure when he made A New Hope that he was gonna get to make sequels, so he wrapped up the story. It's not when you don't know what any of the characters are feeling or what the point of the film's climax is until you see the next one.

The scene would've worked better if they had both signed a big piece of paper, instead of handling a glow ball. Then the frog monster yelling peace would've made more sense

revdrkevind posted:Eh. Except like Never Say Never Again where (for Bond anyway) he's aging and screws up a decent portion of the time, although that's an extraordinary case. And the Lazenby one with the end. Having Bond get shown up at something is sometimes used for dramatic effect, because pretty much everyone in the Bond universe is the best in the world at that thing they do. Sometimes they're building a super weapon, sometimes they're trying to assassinate someone, sometimes they want to start a war and sometimes they just want to irradiate Fort Knox They come up with new and different evil schemes each time and this is more exciting for the audience than if they just did the same thing again but bigger.

It also would've helped if Padme was looking at Boss Nass (?) in the face with some sort of joy or happiness, instead of staring directly into his chest with no emotion. I just rewatched the Star Wars awards ceremony and there's all sorts of emoting going on. I think they call that acting? Phantom Menace just has this:

I don't know why, but I always laugh whenever I see Daisy Riddley's stank face in that movie. It's like she never stops bugging her eyes out or gritting her teeth at everything, it's like everybody around her is letting the nastiest fart and she's always mortified.

Actor's teeth in the past 2 star wars have really bothered me, Adam Driver when he's interrogating Rey, Daisey Ridley's tiny teeth, and pretty much every time Felicity Jones opens her mouth.

Look idiot, if you specifically take time out in your piece of poo poo movie to have a big glowly celebration ball that is the centre of the entire scene then it might help to explain what the gently caress it means even if its basic as gently caress.
