One time someone in CineD said "I liked it. The Rock rules." about some movie and the regs wouldn't stop circlejerking about it in their chat thread for a month because it's such an unrefined opinion to have about a movie. That was about when I stopped reading that sub.

Calico Heart posted:The most annoying thing about that ring theory bollocks is: so what if literally all of it is true? Making the films "cyclical"/reference each other/whatever is one of the dumbest and easiest things you could possibly do. It's the kind of thing a 12 year old who has just learnt that symbolism is a thing would think to do. The fact that that is what prequel apologists think is "brilliant filmmaking" says a lot And Lucas forcing the plot of TPM into being a mirror of ANH so it would "rhyme" is what ruined the movie. Since he added QuiJon in the 2nd draft just so he could mirror Obi-Wan's arc as a mentor who gets killed, Having Obi-Wan be the guy who finds and mentors Anakin would've made more sense story wise and made for a much better movie instead of having boring old Qui Jon as the lead character.

temple posted:I think Rey is the definition of a Mary Sue. But people like Mary Sues and it offends them when you slur their favorite character. Its like calling someone a racist. Nobody thinks they are racist, that's what those other guys are. Because it's trying to label something in a way that puts it in the same class as lovely self-insertion fan fiction, instead of actually trying to argue why the character is bad. And it's just meaningless and lazy. And what exactly is the argument, that she has a lot of abilities? Ok and that is so bad how? It's obviously part of the story that she is special somehow. Do you also think Clark Kent is a Mary Sue? It's just dumb to even use that phrase unless it's clearly self insertion. Schweinhund fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Oct 7, 2016 |

JB50 posted:A Mary Sue is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character, a young or low-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities. Often this character is recognized as an author insert or wish-fulfillment. How does facing a tough decision go against being a "Mary Sue"? Plus (spoiler) Rey watched Han die right in front of her just like Superman with his dad, so by that logic she isn't a Mary Sue either. And Superman saved Lois by making the earth go backwards, lol. Seems like a perfect fit for "low-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities". The point though is calling something Mary Sue is just a cheap and lazy way to label it as being bad. A character with a lot of unrealistic abilities can be a good character if it's done right, like with Superman. And I think Rey is a good character too.

Commando is the best Arnold movie because he starts killing people like 10 minutes in and just never stops. Total Recall and Predator are great and all but they have a lot of buildup and not enough ruthless killing so they're not as fun to rewatch.

Baronjutter posted:I'm borderline looking forward to Rogue One because it looks to be its own movie rather than a by the numbers remake of starwars. this is the mantra all the star wars nerds who want to be hipsters keep saying, but you look at the trailer and it's 90% the same poo poo that was in the OT. And it's a prequel to episode IV and basically has the same plot as episode IV so I don't understand why people act like it's so original.

I can't experience joy but I'm a good judge of what would or wouldn't have elicited joy from me if it were humanly possible for that to happen. And I can confidently say that the last good comic book movie was Batman(1989).

It's not like there are another 100 potential Shoji videos they have laying around. They say they get thousands of terrible vhs tapes and dvds every day. They should have like 5 million videos to choose from at this point.
