Yeah there's a difference between simply not liking a movie and hating a movie so much you foam at the mouth with rage and harass the acting/production team about it online.

There’s a big difference between not liking a movie and building a huge part of your identity around not liking a movie. I’d guess the majority of people in the latter camp are pretty sexist. I didn’t particularly care for TLJ but until I just typed that I’m don’t think I’ve ever expressed that opinion to anyone ever - because I’ve never been in a context where anyone gave a poo poo about my opinion on it. Because of that, I think it’s be safe to give me the benefit of the doubt that there are reasons I disliked it that are not “I don’t like watching icky girls get to do stuff!” However, if I literally never shut up about how much I hated it, then yeah, it would be understandable if people questioned my motives. (For the record, what I disliked about TLJ was how loving depressing it was. The whole thing plays like an extended snuff film for the Resistance.)

I love the fact that boomers will breathlessly post a picture of a fashionable young man smiling and cluck endlessly about how this generation would never have won ww2 because they're so weak and dainty and then completely melt the gently caress down when they're asked to do so, so little.

I mean, yeah, currently the idiots on social media are pretty fixated and it's hard to find anything particularly original but if you don't want to see idiots on social media, I'd suggest reading a thread that isn't about idiots on social media.

real talk, with people suddenly thinking the prequels were good: that started a little before the new trilogy did, and i strongly suspect it has less to do with the new trilogy, and more to do with the fact that people who grew up with the prequels are now teens/adults and capable of putting together thoughts more complex than "pee pee poo poo i farted." resultingly, people who like the prequels are a bigger group than they used to be online. the new-trilogy hate, following from this, is really just a repeat of what we saw with the prequels: the people who grew up with the last trilogy hate the gently caress out of the one that's going on while they're adults, and see it as an insult to their childhood, because realistically speaking Star Wars didn't really get better or worse so much as they just grew up. poo poo that previously just rolled off them because "hell yeah lightsabers" is now very, very irritating to them, and they can't take their nostalgia goggles off for the old stuff to see that it had the exact same problems. in 20 years when they make another trilogy, we'll probably have a bunch of people who grew up with Rey and Finn and Poe going ARGLEBARGLE NOT MY STAR WARS at that, just like how people who grew up with Anakin and Obi-Wan are going ARGLEBARGLE NOT MY STAR WARS at the sequels, and people who grew up with Luke and Han and Leia went ARGLEBARGLE NOT MY STAR WARS at the prequels. it's just the circle of life. e: i legitimately didn't see the "hey let's move on from star wars" stuff, but i feel like i actually added something insightful for once, so meh.

steinrokkan posted:I see, the only way to stop this cycle of violence is to abolish all Star Wars, including retroactively. honestly, i think it's fine as a thing for kids. and they're decent enough movies that going back to the ones you grew up with isn't gonna make you hate yourself. but... there should probably just be a general societal rule that if new star wars comes out in your adulthood, you should probably stay away from it.

If we're just dropping prequel opinions, I liked the scenes with Ian McDiarmid, Ewan McGregor and sir Christopher Lee. Possibly I watched them at an age where a Scottish/RP accent were my personal rubric for good acting; I will not rewatch them to explore this.

Can someone please make a gif of that scene in Jurassic Park where after Malcolm talks about chaos theory in the Jeep, Sattler does the whoosh thing with her hand as the whole discussion just goes over her head. I feel like we need that as a reaction gif a lot.

Coincidentally I just took a bunch of allergy meds yesterday and hallucinated that someone made a big budget film adaptation of Cats with James Corden, Jason Derulo and Taylor Swift. Those things will eff you up.

Is it ok to dislike the new starwars because they pushed finn into the background, made poe practically a villain, and ruined anything interesting they may have been doing with rey by unnecessarily making her a palpatine, and also they made kylo way too old for the type of character they were trying to make him. And wasting hux and phasma... man, idk, i think the annoying part of those movies isnt that theyre "bad" its that they had a lot of good potential they squandered partly by not keeping a consistent team throughout writing/directing. The prequels were just bad and potential-free, and I saw them as a child. Child me was not enamored by the gross poo poo or the awkward romance or boring political poo poo. The only thing they squandered was cool character designs and good actors. And they spawned the clone wars cartoons which were both 100x better than the movies.

https://twitter.com/byronkaye/status/1327926188510068738?s=20 A well known Australian celebrity chef just outed himself as a Neo-Nazi. He's been making gradual steps in destroying his career with his batshit craziness including almost publishing a cookbook with a baby food recipe that would have killed babies, telling AUSTRALIANS that sunscreen was bad for them and insisting that a lava lamp he was paid shitloads to promote could cure Corona but I'm hoping this is the thing that finally buries him. I guess we'll see though, being a total racist in Australia is sometimes beneficial for your career after all
