Oh nice, good for her.

The casting of the SW sequels was, by orders of magnitude, its strongest element. They obviously put way, WAY more effort into the roles than the directors, writers, or producers of the movies ever did, and the fact that JJ abrams is still getting work but John Boyega isn't proves that Hollywood is fundamentally irredeemable Edit - I actually checked Boyega's wiki page after writing this and it looks like he's in a few movies this year so I guess I shouldn't open my big mouth. gently caress JJ abrams though. That hack has failed upwards his entire career and he can eat my rear end damn horror queefs has issued a correction as of 03:19 on May 13, 2022 |

TLJ was particularly dire for how it sidelined Finn

It's amazing how bad they messed up Star wars. You can take the most basic, boilerplate cliche story, add amazing SFX and good casting, and have a hit. Star wars is just cool stuff the filmmakers like and inspired them to make movies, with fun characters and clear stakes. Abrams couldn't do that cuz his dumb mystery box stuff, you need to plan the trilogy out beat by beat ahead of time. Johnson couldn't do that cuz he's a hipster who needs to make a statement instead of Tarzan in space. Idiots and philistines.

Still boggles my mind that they not only didn't plot out their trilogy ahead of time, they gave the director complete editorial control over each movie and then switched guys in the middle of it and the new guy took it in the complete opposite direction and no one stopped him and then they switched back to the first guy again for the last movie and he just decided to pretend the second movie never happened and no one stopped him either Insane decision-making top to bottom

I saw robocop at like 8 and that was pretty scarring, but at the time my dad's general rule was that any level of violence was OK as long as there wasn't too much sex. Both Robocop and Rambo had action figures and cartoons and poo poo.

yeah my parents’ rationale for Robocop was “well he has the action figures already how bad can the movie be” and for Total Recall it was “well whatever he’s already seen Robocop”

I rewatched Terminator 2: Judgement Day recently and while I don’t think it was intentional, the movie is Socialist. Allow me to put on my cinema discusso hat here for a moment. The film is about the T-800 and the Connor family achieving class consciousness. The climax of the film is them realizing that whether they’re made of bone or metal with glowy red eyes, we’re all proletariat skeletons underneath. It is in fact the forces of Capital, both human Cyberdyne and machine Skynet, and the MIC system they create that are the real enemy, that turns humans and Terminators alike against each other against their own mutual interest. Arnold’s famous line “I know now why you cry” is his statement of solidarity with his fellow workers against the cold cruelty of the capitalist system that controls both the past and future. Terminators are Humans, Humans are Terminators.

The cut of The Last Jedi that's just the scenes featuring Rey, Ben, or Luke is my favorite Star War movie post-OT. Too bad about the rest of that movie.loquacius posted:Still boggles my mind that they not only didn't plot out their trilogy ahead of time, they gave the director complete editorial control over each movie and then switched guys in the middle of it and the new guy took it in the complete opposite direction and no one stopped him and then they switched back to the first guy again for the last movie and he just decided to pretend the second movie never happened and no one stopped him either For as much as I'll go to the mat for certain parts of TLJ, yeah they should have just let Abrams do the whole thing. For all his faults it would have at least been a complete narrative. If you told me in 2012 or whenever Disney bought the Star Wars license, that my favorite thing to come out of it would be a TV show directed by the guy who did Elf, starring a palette-swapped Boba Fett, I wouldn't have believed you.

Honestly I watched a bunch of horrible poo poo I was probably too young for, but also watching adult stuff from an early age gave me a view into the world of adults and I learned a lot. I don't know, I'm 43 so there are probably plenty of younger people on the forums who grew up watching dedicated childrens / tweens / teen programming and seemingly turned out OK.
