Valerian was a mediocre sci-fi movie.



The special effects were neat, the script subpar, the acting was serviceable...ish (but the main character sounds like a younger Keanu Reeves at times, which made for some unintentionally fun moments), but ultimately Luc Besson needs more people telling him no. Way too many scenes go on too long because he wants to show this SO COOL SPACE poo poo, which has absolutely no point.

An entire subplot of the movie exists for no reason other than to show you alien stripper Rihanna. The whole segment ends with all the extra characters dying, and none of it has any effect on the overall plot.

But hey, it looked pretty.

I read on twitter there was an unfinised effects shot, with editing info and stuff left on it. I mean, twitter.... but I would like to see that.

The leaked early cut of the first wolverine movie with the flat shaded CGI bi planes and poo poo was hilarious.

One of the best things about prequel hate was in SPACED. Lucasfilm granted them the rights to use music/sound effects and whatever because Season 1 was just chock full of love for Star Wars. Then the prequels come out and season 2 is just non stop making GBS threads on them.

So basically it's the Fifth Element again except it lacks Bruce Willis and Mila Jovovich and the 90s interest in science fiction to keep it afloat?

The French government gives him loads of cash on top of what Hollywood offers. You see the same thing happening in Australia which is why they've been able to make $100 million plus blockbuster trainwrecks like Gods of Egypt or that Peter Pan movie.

She and what's his name both have that spooky fashion model looking thing going on that makes them hard to relate to, so they are both a weird choice for a protagonist.

Like they could play a sci fi creature sure, but kids aren't going to project themselves into this movie

My roommate wants to see Valerian, but I'm pretty iffy on it. It looks kinda stupid, and not in a Fifth Element sort of way. Unless there's some secret Ruby Rhod I'm not privy to, I'm not excited to see it.

The only part of the trailer that I liked was my slow realization that the song was a dramatic orchestral arrangement of Gangsta's Paradise.

But Carrie Fisher had a heroin addiction, Ford got high all the time, and Hamill's face got blended with pavement and needed to be rebuilt.

At some point in her life, every woman gets a strong urge to cut her hair hella short. 99% of the time she's better off ignoring that urge because she can't pull it off even if she's super attractive. See: Kaley Cuoco, Myley Cyrus, Katy Perry, every woman you've ever known who's done this and then you have to tell her it looks good to be polite but then you talk poo poo about it when she's not around

i saw a picture of this gorgeous woman and couldn't recognize her (it was a bunch of pictures of women some rapper dated). then i was like holy poo poo that's amber rose. she looked so much better with the full head of hair. tho she has to stick as a bleached baldy since it's her trademark.

If I had to guess, it's probably a choice by their management agencies to get more eyes on them. Gossip rags start posting articles about so-and-so's "rebellious" new look or whatever, and it just so happens to coincide with the release of a new movie or album or something.

I'm not saying they don't want to hairstyle themselves, or that maybe it isn't occasionally their own decisions, but any fashion change to basically anybody in the public eye is just to get people talking about them,

Really short hair looks fine on most people, specially models. My friend shaved her head a few months ago just to dress up like the girl from stranger things and now it's just a couple inches and looks good.
Also in that video she seems to have some life behind her eyes and is a living human, the 2 mains in city of a thousand planets look drugged, they got that fluoride stare.
