Filthy Hans posted:I think the prequels are worse than the sequels but the fact they're even in the same ballpark is dire The through line of the prequels is way better the sequels, regardless of what you might say about the execution. If you just plot out the basic beats of the PT it sounds like a good story and Anakin has a strong tragic arc. And Lucas was willing to go back to old adventure serials to come up with new set pieces not yet seen in Star Wars, such as the podracing or the big gladiator arena etc. The execution dragged it down with it's stilted dialogue, ugly CGI, and flat cinematography (mostly shot to match the ugly CGI). I don't really like them but I like idea of them I guess. The sequel trilogy suffers from both an incoherent plot and poor execution. The war between the Resistance and the First Order never makes sense and then each entry retcons the status quo, the characters are shallow and don't have real arcs bc Abrams and Johnson disagreed on what the story even was, and the whole thing just recycles the iconography of the original trilogy without inventing anything new. And then the execution sucks because it's full of MCU soy quips that don't fit the series, Abrams mystery box poo poo, etc. Just garbage movies. But hey, the cgi is better!

The prequels weren't great, but had some nice ideas and gave people plenty of clay to work with. Except for Rogue One, The Disney sequels were empty husks that collapsed at the slightest touch.

DesertIslandHermit posted:Disney project budgets are confusing. They'll be like 200 million and probably a quarter of it goes to marketing and half of it just pads the wallets of the executives. i will never forget some suit talking about how a video game was a failure cause it hadn’t made back its budget, half of which was the development costs and the other half was literally all marketing how the gently caress does capitalism work goddamn

Watched Larisa Shepitko's Wings. Fantastic movie which would probably be fun to contrast with the new Top Gun since both have an aging fighter pilot as the main character. It sucks that Shepitko died so young because The Ascent is a masterpiece.

Like, ScarJo got some poo poo for doing GitS but at least she wasn't squinting and grunting like Mickey Rooney the whole time.

It's honestly impressive how much of that Twitter feed is dedicated to the Depp/Heard trial Imagine basing that much of your personality on a struggle between two celebrities to "win" their divorce Now imagine you are a student at one of the world's most exclusive (and expensive) universities, and one of your professors does this

SCENE: You are the first person in your family to go to college, and with some lucky breaks, scholarships, financial aid, your parents' life's savings, and a hefty loan, you have gone all the way to Stanford! Your high school debate coach, whom you consider a mentor and role model and who wrote your letter of rec, has sent you an email asking how your studies are going. Today, your pre-law professor spent the entire lecture period talking about this: https://twitter.com/mldauber/status/1532253901138694150?t=2Ut-pOPSsFKzEQ5_x0JAZQ&s=19 Your hands hover motionless over the keyboard as you struggle to formulate a response.

On a related note, if they ever make a Great North movie I'll also watch that the same way I watch the show: by turning off the tv and doing literally anything else.

the prequels are good, the sequels are mixed-to-bad, obi-wan isn't exactly knocking it out of the park so far but there's nothing wrong with a little camera wobble once the action starts. the celeb defamation trial is a bear trap that you should avoid stepping in

Watching obiwan and the boys s3 back to back is really eye opening to the quality of both Disney getting Ewan and Hayden on screen together again and making GBS threads out this turd of a show is an all-timer letdown

lol at having high expectations for anything Star Wars at this point. and I say this as someone who likes mando, yeah something forthcoming MIGHT be good but they’ll find a way to mess things up. the andor trailer looked interesting but I’m not setting myself up for disappointment. laughing at how the final scene of Mando season 2 sets up Boba Fett and “oh man a full Boba story about him as a warlord being a badass, how could they mess that up??” and then look what we got
