Basically Artie Lange wrote a comedy, so you're comparing Artie Lange to Broken Lizard, and he will always look like a hack in that comparison. Which he mostly is, Artie Lange has always been an amateurish comedian who got lucky by tagging along with Norm Macdonald to the Stern show one day and for some reason Stern took a liking to him. By all rights his career should've been over 15 years ago, instead he got to spend the entire 2000's making huge money on a standup tour that sold tickets 100% off the back of Howard Stern's name.

I haven't seen it, but, I mean, it has Ralph Macchio in it. Has he been in anything good, besides My Cousin Vinny, and, I guess the first two Karate Kid movies (which I haven't seen in forever, so I have no idea if they hold up at all)?

Macchio is actually pretty good in Beer League and stands out because he's actually a professional actor, unlike almost everyone else in the movie. But he's the straight man so it's not like he can carry the movie on his back. It's a serviceable comedy of the type you've seen done better about 1000 times.

What're the odds that Han says "Chewie, we're home" at the end of the movie as they get on the Falcon to make that line in TFA a callback? (Call forward? Callforbackward?)

We're really overlooking the most important point here--what's that heavy-weapon walker that drops in? Is it a Clone Wars leftover AT-AP? Some new tank-destroyer variant of the AT-ST? I need answers.

I legit hope Solo is awesome. The part in the trailer where he says, "190 years old?!?!" gave me the tiniest glimmer of hope it might be cool.

It could be all this negative press was just the ultimate evolution of ARG & marketing, slagging off your own movie in the press for a year so that when it's good it surprises everyone and makes an extra $100 million off word of mouth.

Or, you know, it sucks poo poo and we've now seen literally everything good in the first 2 trailers.

Multiple directors, a lovely lead actor, and a producer who cares about revenue more than anything else. Have you been living on a rock w/r/t to history of this film?

Oh, and they got the actress from an almost guaranteed equally lovely film: Terminator Genisys. Can Hollywood please stop trashing so many franchises?

Terminator 3 and 4 were about the same level of quality as Terminator ripoffs from the late 80s and early 90s, just vastly more expensive. The ship kinda sailed on that one a while ago.

I think the argument here is that all of the efforts to fix this, like new director and tons of reshoots, would probably qualify as an attempt to "mitigate" the disaster.

I see what you're saying, but really they got the actress from Game of Thrones, because that show is super popular, and lol at calling her the actress from that lovely Terminator movie.

"Can you believe for that movie Red they got the lovely actor from Hudson Hawk?!"

Just funny to me.

Also, yeah, as said above, the Terminator franchise was already at 50% when that movie came out.

Weird to single out Emelia Clarke's five or so words (the only woman who gets to speak at all, in the trailer) for criticism when Woody Harrelson is audibly snoring his way through several whole shots.

Either she can't act, or she needs to fire her agent. She's been selecting terrible choices for film roles.

I'm really disappointed in Harrelson for doing this film; it's likely going to break his consecutive streak of recent great roles in Apes and Three Billboards.

I honestly don't know much about Clarke. I don't watch Game of Thrones (because I read the books and I can't put myself through that misery again), so the only thing I've seen her in was her Terminator movie. Which, I mean, the sheer amount of problems with that movie make it so I don't really notice if she's any good or not. She seemed fine, but a ham sandwich would seem like a decent actor next to Jai Courtney, and the script doesn't give her anything interesting to do. So this movie is going to be the first real chance I have to see if she's alright.

I know popular opinion lately seems to be that she's a terrible actress, but I haven't seen evidence as to why yet.

She's a really good actress but she's British, meaning that she doesn't give a poo poo about whatever movie she's in.

If you're going to be one of those British actors who just takes the piss in every movie you're in, don't be boring. Be a scenery-chewing maniac like Bruce Payne.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for someone to give Albert Pyun or Walter Hill like $100 million to make a Terminator movie.
