Guy Goodbody posted:I can kinda see Guns of Navarone in that characters have to blow something up that's related to a big gun at the end, and everybody dies like in Saving Private Ryan, and The Dirty Dozen in they are both movies featuring multiple characters, but that still seems like a stretch. It isn't a stretch at all. Those films are direct inspirations.

Captain Lavender posted:Aside from it being about video games, and Jack being 50% of the people in it, I think Pre-Rec bothers me because of how self-assured Rich is. I think I need him desperately making jokes to impress Mike and Jay, and him being on the verge of emotional breakdown at their whim. On the PreRec stream last night, Rich was telling Jack a story about how one time on the Half in the Bag set he cut his hand really bad and was bleeding all over. Jay and Mike just told Rich to get the gently caress off the set because he was bleeding all over it.

Guy Goodbody posted:If they were so inspired by those good movies, then why is Rogue One bad? Because Disney said they should make it choke-full of Star Wars nerdbait, because they thought a straight-up war movie centred on new characters wouldn't have worked. E: Phantom Menace was inspired by old Bible movies.

It seemed incredibly obvious to me that Rogue One was doing WW2 raid movie in space. Those kinds of things are as much a part of the original trilogy as the sci-fi serials, the trench run is Dambusters. As a pitch of a Star Wars stand alone it's pretty good, they just ballsed up the execution by cramming in too many characters and not having enough time to develop them for anyone to give a poo poo about their sacrifices. "X genre, but Star Wars" is going to be what all the stand alones are, and with the right writing/production any of those could be half decent. I would enjoy the hell out of a properly done Colditz/Great Escape film in the Star Wars universe, for instance.

Guy Goodbody posted:If they were so inspired by those good movies, then why is Rogue One bad? Those movies had consistent, well drawn characters who you unconsciously identify with and thus are drawn into the movie because you care on some level about their actions and their fate. Rogue one substituted interesting and consistent characters for constantly shifting archetypes whose motivations were unclear and padded out the time that would normally be devoted to understanding those characters with nostalgia pornography.

'It' trailer is out. It's directed by...uh...and starring...um...but 1/3rd of the credit of the screenplay is the guy that directed True Detective's first season...but I guess he left production cause the studio was slashing the budget and making changes. I really want it to not be that bad. vermin fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Jul 27, 2017 |

I've heard good things and I'm going tonight. I feel like even if you're not a big Christopher Nolan fan, you kinda can't argue that he doesn't make good films. Like, there's some dumb stuff in Interstellar (and Interception) but it's objectively well-made and entertaining for most of its runtime. All of his movies are.

If it was an intentional weakness, why did the guy design it so it was a shot that literally required magic to pull off?

Because his adoptive father's cousin's wife designed the targeting systems on x-wings and was also force sensitive and knew that the right farm boy using the force sitting in the pilot's seat could pull it off. There's a whole comic series about it.

"I used to bullseye womp-rats in my T16 back home. All people from Tatooine used to bullseye womp-rats. It's a right of passage. I once had to do it in a planet-wide contest to save my uncle's moisture farm from being bought by Jabba the Hutt. It burned out my last power converter. That's where I first heard about Ben Kenobi, the crazy old man that lived alone in the desert. But yeah, womp-rats are pretty much two meters wide."

I think the actual answer is so that Imperial oversight would gloss over it or something. Make it so small of a flaw that it can be written off as a mistake. How that'd help the Rebellion without a force-sensitive boy, who knows? But I think that was their explanation.

I'm not saying it's a good explanation. Making the flaw a purpose-built kill switch for a potential future rebellion rather than genuine oversight is incredibly stupid and kinda makes a lot of the first movie kinda pointless. Hell, with what happened in Rogue One, it would make more sense if the Empire started poring over their plans to see what flaw they might've overlooked since the Rebels went so far out of their way to get a specific set of plans made by a traitor, rather than just being a group of randos just looking for what plans they could get and figuring it'd do them no good.

Well that's why they put Rogue One literally three days before A New Hope starts. Set the timelines so close together that the Empire doesn't have time to find a solution because it will get blown up by the week's end.

Mads Mikkelsen's plan really does reveal that he might have done exactly what he did. It makes me of think back to that Evil Overlord list and the steps any giant evil military would've taken.
