FYI Jenny also did an Avatarland video and it was also good because it talked about the hosed up imperialist implications of the story Disney made for it. Meanwhile, in Rian Johnson's new movie. The MSJ posted:Knives Out character posters

It looks like a spiritual sequel to the recent Murder on the Orient Express remake, which means mediocrity at best.

You think critics care what people say about them so they are giving a Rian Johnson movie good reviews? When has that happened before this? And in what way is the movie like Murder On The Orient Express other than being a contemporary movie in the same genre?

Writing a character into your movie just to own your haters was cool when Emmerich did it and it would still be cool today.

See: Resident Evil Timeless Appeal posted:I really like The Last Jedi, but admit it has flaws and I get why it's offputting. Rian Johnson took the backlash to TLJ personally, even though he pretends he didn’t, by responding to twitter eggs clearly trolling him for months after the movie came out. Lol the internet won’t let him forget it the meltdowns and he should have known that

the narcissism expressed in the response to the character is doubly funny because from the poster it looks like this kid is a huge piece of poo poo so weirdos are looking at him and going "that whiny rear end in a top hat, that's ME"

Timeless Appeal posted:I really like The Last Jedi, but admit it has flaws and I get why it's offputting. To understand what’s going on, you need to go back to Twilight. If you remember, back when the whole Twilight phenomenon was reaching its peak, there was a loud and persistent backlash from people who very obviously hadn’t read the books. Why? How hard is it to just not think about erotic Vampire fiction? Evidently, it’s very hard. Y’see, Twilight was advertised everywhere, discussed everywhere. You’re told that this is important, this is powerful, ‘the pop-cultural event of the decade’, etc. There was an immense pressure to participate. But again: only a relative handful of people actually read the books. So what did the rest of the people have to go on but rumours? People became increasingly obsessed with “Stephanie Meyers” this figure of an undersexed Mormon housewife, how young girls were being brainwashed into Mormonism. Mormonism is a secret vampire sex cult, and it’s overtaking the world - becoming important, powerful, etc. You start going into some really weird places. Or then you read the book and it’s actually just a BSDM-subtext superhero story with Nietzsche references. Once Fifty Shades came out and made this explicit, the controversy fizzled. Lots of people have seen Star Wars Episode 8, but extremely few have actually read it. In all this kvetching, nobody talks about what the film is expressing, like, philosophically. Star Wars 8 is incredibly important, kinda mediocre, you simply aren’t that interested, and you must participate in the controversy.

I'm now re-watching TLJ now on Netflix, like 30 minutes at a time, while a toddler zonks out on my lap calming down before bedtime. This movie is so loving bad. Like, tonally, pacing, plot points, writing, characterizations, everything is so baffling and terrible. There's such a clear aura of Hillary-angst around this movie too, it permeates every scene involving the Resistance leadership. They somehow managed to make Star Wars feel even more limited in scope and possibility than TFA did. I remember in theatres when they went to the casino, and Rose says something like "only one thing in the galaxy makes people this rich..." and I remember like, looking around nervously while waiting for Finn to go "(((galactic banking?)))" but instead they went for a criticism of the MIC, which feels like a comically naive take on that universe. Yeah dudes, it's the arms dealers that are the villains here, not the fascists. Brave. Like Tony Stark's only personal flaw was developing weapons, not ANYTHING ELSE about him being the dynastic scion of technocrat capitalists. The only time money was ever mentioned in A New Hope was in relation to Han Solo's character arc, where he realizes there's "more to things than money." I don't want to bang on this too long, but it's the purposeful misdirection of a criticism of space capitalism into, "the only bad people are the ones who sell the gun and the ones who shoot it," but then the Rebels are still the good guys. We have in-universe child slaves, who know nothing but laser whips and mistreated animals, who see a loving literal secret decoder ring and react like French resistance fighters. What the gently caress is going on here. I've resigned myself to the following: -There will never be any additional connective tissue between RotJ and TFA -There will never be any exposition about the actual organization of the empire/republic/resistance or anything beyond "they're the rebels 2.0" -We'll never get to see the origin of the first order, why they have such a massive resource advantage, we are just supposed to accept that they're the Big Bad Guys If they wasn't such earnest desire and outcry for more appearances from the original characters, I honestly feel they should have just done a hard reboot of the franchise.

they're trying to check all the boxes that the Avengers movies did (branding, diversity, spin-offability, % profits, etc), but the difference is that those movies built over a period of 15 years to reach the point that they could do Infinity War and Endgame (and they still suffered from being quota/committee-driven). But with new Star Wars they tried to start with the equivalent of Infinity War, so you just aren't as invested in the characters and it's harder to overlook the degree to which every moment was run through multiple rounds of executive feedback and focus groups

how do I distinguish between the fact that diverse casts are good and the fact that Disney as a corporation doesn't care about that unless it drives profits "quota" wasn't about race stuff it was about the fact that these movies are driven by checklists rather than any sort of artistic vision
