Just finished Rogue One, which honestly took me three tries to get through. The third try was the charm though, third act was good! Krennick's death was dare I say great! The Vader/Leia ending was dumb though. My recommendation: Start the movie from Krennick grovelling to Vader. Resist the urge to turn it off when Vader makes a dad joke. You'll miss basically nothing.

My favorite thing about the opening crawl to Episode 1 is that it starts with the words THE PHANTOM MENACE and everyone apparently assumed the details of the trade dispute were actually the most important thing to follow instead of them possibly being a misdirect due to some kind of other menace?

In many cases the sound in streaming movies is the 5.1 mix. If you’re listening through two stereo or tv speakers you lose that center channel which a lot of voices are mixed to.

The Vader poo poo at the end of Rogue One is terrible and detracts from the movie, but it's necessary because it's the part that audiences actually clap and cheer for.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is a movie about a local community overcoming racial and cultural differences and joining together to throw off the yoke of capitalist oppression, after an appeal to the distant, bloated, sluggish, and corrupt political institutions of the national government prove constitutionally incapable of helping them. This isn't even some creatively redemptive Marxist interpretation, it's just plain what the movie depicts. It's a good movie with a clear and perennially relevant message that's actually, truly about something besides incestuous franchise navel-gazing and faux, corporate-approved "iconoclasm" possessing no substantial philosophical content or anything else truly challenging to the established neoliberal order. There's also a persistent and well-integrated theme of symbiosis and cooperation, qualities which are stated to be a fundamental part of the human condition by way of the smallest unit of our organism, the biology of which is subversively reinterpreted as an expression of the divine within all of us. Again, this is something that's actually, truly subversive and challenging--the idea that the pure, ethereal world of spirit and the messy, material world of biology are both equally valid emanations of an underlying truth pointing to God. The truth of its subversive nature is manifest, in the way viewers object by pointing to Yoda's statement about "crude matter" in opposition to "luminous being," a statement which possesses some truth but not the whole truth, lest the beauty and value of the natural world be rendered inherently profane. Think about it: Viewers are literally being asked by the film to revere unicellular bacteria as, in a sense, our gods--beings greater than we are, our progenitors, possessed by nature of a more direct link to the primordial force of life. It's a beautiful and shockingly logical notion, yet people instinctively recoil from it. It's fascinating. It's unique. It's impossibly idiosyncratic. It's something that no one else making the movie would have ever thought of in a million years. It's something that's iconoclastic by virtue of the way it overturns viewers' faulty but ingrained philosophical notions about reality, rather than by virtue of mechanistic plot deviations and facile statements about creative destruction and renewal that don't amount to anything that actually is new in a meaningful sense. The Phantom Menace, love it or hate it, is a movie with meat on it, with interesting ideas, with genuinely challenging concepts--ideas and concepts that can actually be discussed and debated at length, on a level beyond "I like it" or "I don't like it." It's a good and consequential film. Cnut the Great fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Jan 7, 2018 |

It makes A New Hope even better though because when that one rebel is like "WE'RE ON A DIPLOMATIC MISSION" yeah sorry rebel guy Darth Vader just woke up and had to leave his castle for all this death star bullshit and now this pissant's acting like they're on a diplomatic mission when Vader literally saw the guy run off with the plans onto that ship like two minutes ago? No wonder he just cold cracks the dude's neck.  AndyElusive posted:

I don't hate the Vader stuff in R1, but I was definitely rolling my eyes at it in the theater. It just feels too much like pandering and outright fan service: "Here you go, here's Vader being cool and badass. Just like you always wanted!"

The Vader stuff was great in R1 because it revealed the difference between someone like Krennic (a career-minded idiot) and the real movers and shakers in the Empire (literal evil space wizards), and also showed the scale difference between the Rogue 1 team and the others in the story. I also really liked how it recontextualized ANH and explained Vader's uncharacteristic 'hot' fury. It's the best of the Disney films. Also, Diego Luna is handsome.

The epilogue of Rogue One actually really sucks and it would be a stronger movie without Vader at all. The most effective part is actually the first third where the movie is at its unremitting darkest. Everything from the hollowed-out holy city to Saw Guererra's diseased physicality is wonderfully nightmarish.

For the retards who keep asking why they can't just do hyperspace strike every time did it ever occur that in normal circumstances it could be extremely dangerous and unsafe to friendly ships and civilians in the vicinity? Not to mention wasting a very expensive vehicle when resourced are already thin as it is. Jesus Christ I hate the internet so much Top Gun fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Jan 7, 2018 |

Vader in R1 chasing down the rebels through the hallway just send so nonchalant and not actually giving a gently caress about the whole thing, just kind of slowly walking forward while the guy with the actual Death Star plans stands at the door yelling far too long before thinking to pass the disk through or getting killed DV just kind of meanders on down at a leisurely pace, slowly escalating in force tricks he could have just used in the first place to get the disk. So my with scene is want to have it both ways. He's an unstoppable monster no one can escape oh but also our plucky rebels escape (in a way that makes him look vaguely incompetent) And the CG Leia is so bad. I actually didn't mind the cg Tarkin, even though he didn't look convincing, I thought it worked for the character to be a little uncanny.

Maybe that guy really did think they were on a diplomatic mission. Like he was just asleep on the ship when it took off and missed the whole battle and got woken up and some guy desperately tries to hand him a disk through a door and Darth Vader is there. Here's thinking to himself "what the gently caress, I'm on senator Organa's ship with his daughter, this is a diplomatic mission, what the gently caress is going on?"

Because she was going to Obi-Wan. This is not a mystery. I for one always love it when movies these days do deaging of old actors and recreate the dead ones. I don't care at all that it's not perfect, the novelty of it still makes me tremendously happy. I actually think Tarkin looks pretty good, it's the voice more than anything that's a bit off. Anyway, I've loved this since Tron Legacy (the deaging in X-Men 3 doesn't hold up) and hope they keep doing it forever with everybody.
