George Lucas created the most lucrative pop culture franchise of all time. He knows exactly what lurks in the hearts of Boomers/GenXers/Millenials. He is the American Whisperer.

How does Superman get a good workout? Frankly it seems like his cousin has a more realistic body given the limitations. Release the dad bod cut.

Rogue One owns because of Ben Mendholson chewing up the scenery and Darth Vader going ham in the final two minutes of the movie.

watched Richard Jewell and lol what a mess. theres definitely an interesting story in there and our geriatric director didn't pick the wrong targets to demonize (the media and the fbi) but eastwoods Fox Grandpa period sensibilities can't help themselves. jewell was basically written as a literal retarded person who thinks the fbi is his dad and the emotional climax is when he finally stands up to him.

Laterite posted:Rogue One owns because of Ben Mendholson chewing up the scenery and Darth Vader going ham in the final two minutes of the movie. The Darth Vader scene was definitely the best one. Shooting it like a horror movie was a really novel way to approach the character, and perfectly captures the kind of terror you'd feel as some security goon trying to face down the baddest dude in the galaxy.

Yeah I had high hopes but Jewell is presented as such a simpering buffoon and then the cool bomb expert is literally just a fictional character, if you're going to ride off a "true" story you better make it count when you invent poo poo. Also lmao at the end where the hero agent rallies the militia goons to FIND THIS BASTARD and the cut to: FIVE YEARS LATER and a random rentacop finds him rustling a dumpster.

josh04 posted:lucas also just owns, personally I like that nerds get rules spelled out for them before they can to talk to Lucas quote:The next day, Red Fly finally met with George Lucas, but not before being told how to talk to him. Our source says they were told to never say “No” to him, or to say, “Yeah, that will be easy.” They were also told not to mention Force Unleashed’s protagonist, Starkiller. If he’s referred to by George, it will be “that guy.” The most important rule, much like not feeding a Mogwai after midnight, was “Don’t tell George how the Force works.” https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/10/26/the-story-of-the-darth-maul-game-that-never-came-to-be.aspx

I thought it was fitting having a bunch of second-rate forgotten screw-up heroes who all die up against a second-rate forgotten screw-up villain who dies, and who isn't taken seriously by anyone to the point where Darth Vader makes a dad joke about him.

Rogue One makes a huge misstep trying to emulate the commando movies it's doing homage to, like The Guns of Navarrone. There is no emotional impact if it never stops to take time & get to know any of the characters. As it is, the cast is just a list of archetypes to check off on a box. Ok, we have force sensitive guy, sarcastic robot, plucky female lead with estranged father, (at this point I'm looking up the cast because I forgot them all), um... Some other people were there.
