So Harrison Ford wanted to be killed off in TFA because he was so tired of these Star Wars and now he’s in a movie playing second fiddle to a CGI dog. Dude really likes having furry sidekicks.

Harrison Ford thinks we're all idiots to keep casting and watching him but he is happy to take money from fools.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:Solo is probably the most boring movie I saw in 2018. It's so goddamn dull and the dude who plays young Han Solo has very little charisma or swagger like Harrison Ford. The plot has no stakes and almost nothing happens that matters. It's like the inverse of Rogue One. Donald Glover is kind of awesome as Lando but he's criminally underused in a very bad film. Solo's definitely not prequel level bad, but it's so forgettable and tedious to watch. Paint-by-the-numbers origin story poo poo but done so much worse than a Marvel origin story movie like Iron Man or Captain Marvel. I think the worst part about Solo is it's trying so hard to tell an origin story (multiple origin stories?) that really didn't need to be told. Like, goddamn, who the gently caress ever thought "man, nobody gets called Han SOLO, where did that come from??" Why does every Star Wars movie main character need to have been an incredible badass before the movies? I wouldn't put it past the shitheads who wrote Solo to think that there ought to be a movie where young Luke Skywalker uses his skyhopper to shoot down Tusken sky-pirates or some such bullshit.

So I think it's safe to call ROS sales figures, and here's the results. ROS Ticket Sales: USA: $483,645,801 UK: $71,580,102 GER: $61,220,415 JAP: $54,534,291 FRA: $47,957,730 AUS: $29,851,775 SPA: $20,332,877 CHN: $20,025,496 "HEY DISNEY! You can stop marketing Star Wars for Chinese audiences. They don't loving care!" Spain has 3% of China's population and they spent more to watch the movie than China. Maybe cater to them more?

Blistex posted:So I think it's safe to call ROS sales figures, and here's the results. The thing is, China will outright ban your poo poo from showing if it doesn't have specific things in it or has something in it they don't like. So if they didn't cater their film to Chinese censors, they'd lose all 20 mil from the country. Studios aren't willing to call China's bluff and go "fine, you don't get our poo poo then" because 1: the Chinese people don't really have many ways to make their displeasure known and 2: lol take risks for creative freedom? the gently caress you think you're talking about we have margins to grow and shareholders to generate value for So it's not about trying to get a bigger share in the market from China, it's about getting access to that market at all

In the special edition they added the ADR line "see to him" so they did at least acknowledge it, even though it was a bloop.

Han Solo is heavily implied to be a perpetually lucky idiot and not some kind of badass battle-hardened thief smuggler dude anyways. That's the whole point of his character in ANH especially before he grows up some and learns to be a half decent guy. Old man Ben can see through Han's simple parlor tricks even without his Force abilities but knows he's the useful, easily manipulated fool they need. That's yet another reason why Solo is pointlessly dumb: They made a movie about a character who doesn't exist. Cough Drop The Beat fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Jan 20, 2020 |

I started to watch Solo again the other night, 1st time I thought it was fairly enjoyable but 2nd time & somehow I'd put it out of my mind, when Lando's droid turns up I couldn't watch anymore. I almost yearned for jar jar after that.
