Sydney Bottocks posted:The funniest thing about Argylle is that it's supposedly an adaptation of the fourth book out of a series of books, none of which have been published yet IIRC, with a clearly manufactured "conspiracy theory" about how they were written by Taylor Swift under a pen name. Oh, and the director said "George Lucas started with Episode IV of Star Wars, and that worked out pretty well for him" when asked why he didn't just start with the first book in the series Does anybody actually believe that about SW though

smug jeebus posted:Does anybody actually believe that about SW though It seemed as though people believed it in the 90s. Then when the prequels happened it was abundantly clear that George Lucas had been lying to us the whole time. That said, I don't know how much of that realization has carried forward to the next generations. Kind of like how zoomers will think that the Plinkett reviews of the prequels were prescriptive: suggesting that people should hate the prequels, rather than descriptive: explaining why people did hate the prequels so much.

The one bright spot on the horizon is Lisa Frankenstein. Not because I think it will be good. But because it is certain to be so terrible that the entire "Diablo Cody in an under-appreciated genius, actually" movement that seems to have been started by idiots who have vaguely fond memories of Jennifer's Body will immediately dissolve when everyone is reminded that she is pure, concentrated millennial cringe... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POOeA3zCuUY

I saw Strange Days last night for the first time since I was a teenager. Surprisingly good! Maybe a little long, but good. Then I watched The Stranger (the 2022 film on Netflix), which I really, really liked. The atmosphere in that movie was tense and spooky and goddamn sublime.

Then one day, for some reason, the original Star Wars was now "Episode IV", and the other two movies were Episodes V and VI. We never got to see any of the other six movies from the rumored Lucas scripts, at least not until 1999; and after seeing the prequels, most of us (who'd gone from being starry-eyed children to cynical adults with jobs and bills) definitely thought that he really shouldn't have bothered.

There's literally no connection between the person he's talking to and the organization he's trying to find. They're a scam outfit for olds not the NSA. Plus he's using a magic Beekeeper phone. In context it's just a funny oversight.

It’s like an urban legend becoming real in some weird way. I’m almost certain Lucas said the “I wrote 9 movies” lie in the interviews that appeared on the final VHS release of the original version of the original trilogy. I think the rumor had started before then, but he himself was likely the originator of it.

The part where he shows that there were more practical elements in the big Avengers: Endgame finale than there were in the Top Gun: Maverick flight scenes was particularly amusing.

I'm betting someone sarcastically looked at the first star wars script and was like "This is a boring pos are you writing one star wars movie or nine here" and he was all "Hey, yeah, I'm actually writing nine movies" and then his ex wife cut out a third of his bullshit and it was suddenly pretty good
