I know where I'd be without the Star Wars reviews: in Hell. Because I'd be dead. Because RLM is the only thing keeping me alive.

Without RLM and with Roger Ebert dead all film criticism would be Chris Stuckmann levels of worshipping the dick of every movie that sent him a swag bag of cum and geek crate garbage.

You've never heard of those chaps over at Red Letter Medium? Well, let me explain. First, there's this Archie Bunker / Eric Cartman character called Rich Evans. He's fat, dumb, and racist, but he's the emotional center of the story. Next there's Mike who is a feeble, dying alcoholic with a quick wit. He's a big, lumbering, slow drunk with purple flesh. Basically if Dudley Moore's Arthur character was wearing a costume of The Grimace. Next is Jack who has a huge dick. Then there's Jay. He's the heartthrob who isn't just pretty, he's also the brains and is never wrong about films. He's the only actual critic on this film criticism web series. Then you have Josh. Josh is I guess a Make-a-wish foundation kid that wanted to be on the show? No one really knows because they haven't revealed yet why they'd have him on. My guess is he has progeria. Then

That's a bad assessment of Josh. Josh is clearly the town creeper, and is called "Wizard" because he is always trying to cast "spells" on the local kids.

Josh is the rich Barons sisters kid from the 1400's that the baron now has to care for because his sister died in childbirth. Meanwhile, outside his gates the peasants are getting unruly and plans have been set in motion to redirect their frustrations elsewhere, furthermore

DoctorStrangelove posted:Me and my pals watched Star War number Five last night and we came to the conclusion that the prequels could not exist in the same continuity as the first Star War movies due to the fact that many characters' actions make no goddamn sense. Like Obi Wan already knew Chewie, Yoda already knew R2 and yet they act like they've never met before. Something I sort of thought about in regards of the OT and the PT: Vader's devotion to the Force. In the OT, he's a guy who seems like he is reverent of it, willing to kill people just for mocking his religious belief (and this is at a point in his life where he's literally being kept alive by machines and his connection to the Force is seemingly less than the one he had in his youth?) In the PT, the force feels like it's just a tool to him and when it seems poised to be something greater he hits the 'whammy' and loses everything and doesn't even get to experience that greatness of the Force that he has been promised. At no point does he really feel like the 'force' comes across as this deep, spiritual thing for him. I guess you could argue that after Padme he's throwing himself into the things he has left, which is the Dark Side and the Force and and Empire and is becoming sort of a zealot as he grows up, but there just doesn't seem to be any hints in him in the PT that he's a guy that actually feels a respect for the force in the same way Vader seems to.

he didn't even kill the "sad devotion to that ancient religion" guy, tarkin made him stop. also the way of the force is an ancient religion in that it died out a whopping 20 years ago.

Watched that Dan Brown/Ron Howard movie "Infernal" and holy poo poo I sort of get the hate on Felicity Jones if this was your introduction to her. She literally has only one expression, I am not who is at fault here but it is definitely shared on some level between her and Ron. The movie itself is really going off a cliff trying to shoe horn in Tom Hanks again so he can chase a modern mcguffin with ancient bullshit clues while multiple agencies to after him with one that wouldn't be out of place from Asscreed. Go watch Operation Chronmite for random Liam Nesson and for the over the top action.

Just forget about it like you got neurotralized and be happy. Same with TFA because that is garbage too.

If you forget Tfa then how are you going to watch and endlessly talk about the Star Wars movies that are going to be coming out once a year, do you expect people not to watch Star Wars

If everyone's forgetting about The Force and Jedis even Vader who used to be a cynic can appear to be a fanatic by comparison. Really though, Lucas is just lazy.

The time scale is incredible. Yo TOY STORY was 20 years ago, does anyone call it an ancient movie? Do most species in star wars live like 5 years, and humans are elves or some poo poo?

The fact that Vader still cares about the Force foreshadows his ultimate redemption.

There are about two million zoroastrians alive today somehow and yet if someone pointed out an eight foot tall halloween dildo in a cape and said he is a zoroastrian I'd probably laugh in his face. And then when I'm getting choked out by the wrath of ahura mazda my last strangled words would be "this is just like star wars" Basically I just always assumed the force was thousands of years out of style with a few disorganized adherents so I mostly ignore the prequels' implication on canon. 20 years is just nonsense. Whoever said the ancient legend of oj simpson's ride made me laugh very hard, five or eight pages ago.

The Empire went turbo-atheist, sheesh. In the thirties, any Soviet citizen would be similarly mocked for adhering to such ancient nonsense religions as Orthodox Christianity or Islam, despite the fact that mere twenty years ago almost 100% of people in Russian Empire were religious.

Starship Troopers came out at a time when I was both still pretty squeamish about film violence and learning that you can dismiss films for whatever flaws you conjur. I hated it, and despite the love building for it, I never gave it another chance.

And then watch Roughnecks, because it is also good, and pretty ballsy to let a kids show get away with presenting the good guys as part of a fascist institution.

Starship Troopers owns. And it works both as a movie you can enjoy as a dumb teenager who likes gore and space marines killing bugs with nukes and machine guns, and as a somewhat older dude who likes those things but really loves the satire elements of the movie that kind of escaped stupid teenage self. It's not just the political satire that's great. I absolutely love that much of the movie is is structured like some kind of high school drama with two concurrent love triangles going on, a football/basketball game, prom and both love triangles being solved by having the third person killed by bug monsters.
