kiimo posted:I'm still at a loss as to why they changed Luke saying "You're lucky you don't taste very good" to Artoo after he gets spit out of the swamp to "You're lucky to get out of there". Yeah, the first line is way better and makes sense. He got spat out because he's a mud-encrusted tin can. The second line is just...flat.

CinemaSins is all-natural pharmaceutical-grade unalloyed 100% grade AAA pure poo poo for garbage-slurping idiots and if you like it I genuinely unironically think that you should be hell-banned from CD. not really, but still...come on It's lazy, banal sniping disguised as "comedy" and I object to it in the strongest possible terms.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Internet 1.0 baby. No Myspace, just Livejournal and AOL chat rooms. That's 2.0, scarily enough. 1.0 is IRC and newsgroups. Edit: you guys are killing me. some corner of my mind still considers AIM and ICQ to be new and innovative Internet inventions.

Wait hold on you're telling me that if Abrams can't out-Spielberg Spielberg, one of the best living directors, then critics should spit on him? Abrams isn't allowed to do anything that Spielberg does unless he does it better? That's a pretty high bar.

If you're calling the ending of Star Wars, the part where a farmboy has to fly down a trench of doom while pursued by a black-clad personification of death that ghosted his mentor and said farmboy is only saved at the last moment by a formerly-amoral smuggler who realized that friends really are worth more than money and helps save the day by setting up the farmboy to take a one-in-a-million shot using the power of his father's legacy and said power blows up a symbol of imperial fascism seconds before it was set to annihilate the nascent rebellion that had taken both of them in and was literally symbolized by a beautiful young princess dressed all in white as a "milquetoast story" you can gently caress right off

Electromax posted:Good guy destroys hidden fortress with help of wily rogue who turns out to have a heart of gold, while overcoming the evil samurai who killed his master. The rest as stated is style and art direction. Connecting Luke Skywalker's chosen one status to a spritual power source from a fallen Avalon that represents his father's legacy: style and art direction.

Zoran posted:You do realize that the prequel Jedi are depicted as hypocritical and short-sighted on purpose, right? Yes I did, but this is a great shorthand for it and draws a nice parallel that I hadn't noticed! Also, I don't care if Lucas did it on purpose or not and neither should you.
