A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Hail, Caesar is one of the weakest Coen films, but that in no way means it's bad. Totally. I had avoided it because people said "oh it's bad, it sucks!" Then watched it and found it to be very entertaining. I love their shaggy dog stories. Moral is: people have dumb opinions about excellent filmmakers. Gawd just thinking about the Coen's filmography.. It's so drat good all the way through. My favourite lesser Coen film is A Serious Man.

A comment I made before a while back was that prior to TPM, Jake Lloyd did have some acting credits up to that point on a few different TV/movie productions, which the other candidates might have been lacking. An episode of ER, The Pretender and Jingle All the Way, right? In something like a Star Wars level project, Lucas might have wanted the extra reassurance that the kid maybe had good references from those jobs for showing up, doing what he was told and not screwing up.

I noticed one of the comments saying what I was thinking: Jake was the only one fiddling with objects while doing his lines. The older, blonde boy sounded the best, but he, as the rest, were still just spouting their lines. Not that this excuses the movie, but it's an observation.

bitterandtwisted posted:Before the prequels I didn't know Samuel L Jackson was capable of being boring. Is there any role in the prequels he would have been better suited for? I mean, would a Darth Maul or Count Dooku played by Jackson have been better? Actually, now that I mention it, Jackson doing Dooku could be sort of fascinating. He's allowed to be more emotional than the other Jedi because he's stepped away from them and he's also seen the truth of living in a galaxy where they're all getting their strings pulled but he's the only one who knows there's a puppeteer behind it all.

Even in boring mode he was still by far one of the best things in those terrible movies. Mind you he was amazing in Kingsman: Secret Service. Stole every scene.

You can't save any of the Jedi characters in the prequels when Lucas's version of the Order is completely awful and dull.

The prequels are so weird. Like the jedi are supposed to be dull, queen amidala is supposed to act cold and emotionless but it makes such a lovely/bizarre viewing experience.

Dubs posted:Hood JarJar Jar Jar is by far the most energetic character in the prequels, which means he'd be great for Samuel L Jackson. But Jackson probably wouldn't be cool with doing the Brer Rabbit voice. Compromise: Hire Chris Rock to do Jar Jar

With the movies we got Jackson probably should have played Obi wan. Ya it makes no sense with the original trilogy but just picture any given thing obi wan did and then picture Samuel l Jackson doing it. Yeah.
