Star Wars chat reminded me of Pulp Phantom

(beware, early 2000s flash video with terrible sound quality)

This is only the first part, they made the entirety of Pulp Fiction using Star Wars characters but the first part was probably the funniest (and still gets me chuckling a bit today with "You tried to gently caress him, and Darth Vader don't like to be hosed by anyone except Queen Amidala")

Every character is full-CG keeping the original proportions from the comic, making it the most harrowing piece of cinematic body horror not directed by Cronenberg.

i recently rewatched the last christmas botw and it might be josh's worst showing to date. a perfect microcosm of all his horribleness, from wet blanketing any potentially offensive joke to extended attempts to butt in during funny talk to make the point he needs to make or else he'll explode. just a complete failure of a comedy show panelist, its like im watching british tv. but as gently caress awful as he is i'd still watch a botw ep with him than a star war

During Best of the Worst #101's classic "Honorable Men" segment, there's a moment where hero action cop Ryan Smith starts quoting the song "Mandy" to the technically not underage girl he is banging ('Oh Mandy, you came and you gave without taking...'). Josh responds with a perfectly timed deadpan "You should send her away."

That might be the funniest Josh moment in all of RLM canon.

Alas, the funniest Josh moment is also the funniest Jack moment, from the Petey Wheatstraw spotlight episode:

Yeah, Jungle poo poo happening in the suburbs was the whole draw of the first one. I guess they wanted to make sure the second one wasn't just a boring rehash of the first which is respectable and they did succeed in. Feels like there is more they could still do with the whole, jungle suddenly being in a none jungle place though.

There's no sound is space is the dumbest thing to point out during a movie. Have you noticed there's no camera in space either? Yet somehow we can see external shots of the space ships. Very unrealistic. And don't even get me started on the complete lack of an orchestral score playing at all times! And the time skips! This movie takes place over the course of a week yet is barely even three hours long, what kind of idiot makes a blunder like that?

I get mixing it up, but I put on the third jumanji after having half rewatched the original recently, and they returned to the jungle/game world, and are reusing bits from the second movie. Maybe it busts out into the real world later but so far they just added different people in some of the bodies from last time.

All in all they both seem more like DnD jungle adventure movies than Jumanji, which isn't a bad thing but does feel like a separate kind of thing, especially with the "inhabiting avatars" thing you often get when shows do a DnD episode.

sure okay

The whole "the Jedi are wrong" is back-fill by fans, that is nowhere in the text of the prequels. Kind of like how some Star Wars fans will get around the fact that the movies have sounds (explosions/ship engines/roars from giant space worms) in the vacuum of space by saying that it is actually all played inside of ship speakers as a way for the people inside those ships to have a 360-degree situational awareness. The Jedi are tricked by the great threat hiding right under their noses, but so is literally the entire Republic.

The problem is that Lucas wrote the Jedi to be so dumb and bad that people think he must have been doing it intentionally. This is in spite of the fact that literally everything else in the prequels is also dumb and bad as well.

I remember arguing this in CD and getting called a racist.

I don't recall exactly how we got there but I'm still mad about it obviously.

Yeah it's the same kind of person who will claim that obviously droids were intended as a commentary on slavery and every real Star Wars fan has always known that.

Like yeah, there are a few tropes borrowed from other stories where they're filling the role of a "servant" character, in a much less problematic way. But the mere existence of parallels to a thing does not make it a commentary. They're robots, robots are fun to have in a space adventure story. That's it.

There is similarly no more than a whiff of an intelligent critique of institutions in the prequel Jedi council stuff. You can make it that if you want. It would have been a good idea to go into that, as it would've given those scenes an actual point and deepened the characters and settings in a way that would've been appropriate for a new installment in the franchise for a new generation. But, well, it's just not there. We do have a few examples of how Lucas approached that sort of thing because there are a few heavy-handed moments of political commentary, and we see how that went.


Ultimately the great irony of both Mando and Andor season 1 is that they proved you actually can do good sequels and prequels to the OT. Lucas & Abrams just screwed up.
