As I understand it, the writers wanted Geralt to make a quip at the death scene, but Henry rightly pointed out that it should be a somber and serious affair on account of him not actually being a sociopath
lol. it's great that henry is like literally the only good thing about witcher show.

Watched The Nightingale, Jennifer Kent's follow up to The Babadook. The plot's about an Irish convict woman who teams up with an Aboriginal tracker to kill a bunch of white British colonials. Brutal loving film, doesn't hold back when depicting the horrors of the time (or the main character's racism) but doesn't get into sexploitation territory either despite the subject matter. Figured maybe some of youse might be interested, though it's very loving miserable.

her episode is Guillermo Del Toro's netflix show is pretty good and spooky (#8 The Murmuring). she has such a talent for unsettling locked shots and sound design.

Ep 3 was great too, and the Panos Cosmatos one (#7) was fun.

Tyler Durden did nothing wrong.

Violent rebellion and destruction of property against the ruling class is extremely cool, and the correct take away from Fight Club is that paramilitary groups of working class citizens aligned against capital own

It feels weird to me that anyone would be cheering her on during her first scene, but if that's the state we are at as a society I guess that's the state we are at as a society.

Need to pick Andor back up, I only watched the first episode but I liked it. Love how grimy everything looks and I love how that security guard's supervisor told him to his face "look into this, but don't look too hard". Very true to life lol

the sequel trilogy is still hilarious to me whenever I think about it

they bought the Star Wars IP and were like "okay time to make some movies!!!! dunno what about tho, I dunno, let's pick this famous director guy and tell him to do whatever. It's auteur theory baybee!!!!!"

then he made a solid respectable 6.5/10 movie and they were like "alright, moving on, for the next chapter in this single continuous narrative, let's pick... THIS other director guy! You do whatever you want too! I'm loving this auteur thing!"

and what the second guy wanted to do was the exact opposite of what the first guy wanted to do so he just undid everything and they just let it happen because AUTEUR THEORY

and then they were like "okay, so for the third movie, we're going back to the first guy again. Sorry that other guy ruined all your poo poo, he was just, y'know, the auteur, and the theory says we have to let him do it. Anyway do whatever you want and have fun! Auteur theory!!!!!" and he just counter-undid everything the second guy did and they had to let that happen too

they spent billions of dollars for two dudes to have a public slapfight disguised as a series of films

This is not even accounting for the Fortnite thing LMAO

it rules. Rise of the Skywalker should be required viewing for every film student.

idk if you could intentionally create a movie that genuinely has less enthusiasm and desire to tell a story

IMO nothing tops the Palpatine Fortnite event and the movie just dropping "so first of all the old bad guy is alive again now" in the opening crawl with no followup.

Like at least make that sort of thing an Act 2 reveal.

I maintain that re-canonizing the EU and making movies out of it might not result in the best movies ever but it would absolutely print money off the kind of people that still identify as fans of anything past the age of 30

They'd eat that poo poo up ravenously. They'd see a Thrawn movie like five times each and fill their homes with the funkopops. It even already has "universe" right there in the name

we gave up midway through




also i started watching Charlie Wilson's War cause it showed up on netflix. is this a good movie or CIA propaganda

cause everyone's in it but i somehow doubt the veracity and intentions of a story that opens with a sexy senator (who surely had all the looks and charm of Tom Hanks and completely consensual non-exploitive relationships with many ladies) getting the idea to fund the Mujahedeen through a Dan Rather broadcast

I think even the masses would love this because the EU is absolutely packed with lore, and that's what people are into right now.
