Oh boy, I'm just so tired of all these Star Wars.MonsieurChoc posted:We're just gonna keep hitting the wall of Jijov not being able to un derstand that canon and the story group is complete bullshit. If this keeps going in circles, maybe it's time to move on.

I guess the first warning was a little too subtle, so I'll be explicit. I don't know the differences between Hosnian Prime and Coruscant. I don't really care. This derail has gone on for ten pages, and is going nowhere. Stop engaging each other on the subject, move on, or I'll help end the discussion six hours at a time.

Basebf555 posted:Sure, there's an established Sam Jackson persona, but he's perfectly capable of dialing that up or down depending on what's required(or crafting something totally new like in Django). Marvel has literally redesigned a character that's been around for decades to look like SLJ, he's that drat charismatic. If you want to argue about his range as an actor, just watch Jackie Brown next to Django Unchained next to Jurassic Park. Unless you're just being willfully obtuse that an actor has to be a character actor like Daniel Day Lewis to have range. Also, the dude got his start with Roger Corman and Troma flicks. He's very happy to show up in some goofy poo poo for the hell of it, like the amazing Deep Blue Sea.

Wheat Loaf posted:I think he's very good in Coach Carter. It's not an outstanding movie but it was nice to see him playing a more understated role than he's usually given, not unlike Brian Blessed in those Kenneth Branagh Hamlet movies. While I haven't seen Coach Carter, that seems to be how it goes with SLJ. He shows up and sometimes he gets to explore the character with nuance and interest, and other times the director is telling him "I hired SLJ to play SLJ, so gimme some of that SLJ manic charm." Same thing happens with Nic Cage, for instance.

Sir Kodiak posted:Being more welcoming is a fine goal, and I'm not calling that absurd, but if two threads with some doofy posts in them is enough to mischaracterize the entire subforum then you're dealing with something more intractable. Like, say, the cultural stereotype of the insufferable film snob. It would be like trying to undo the stereotype of an anime subforum being filled with perverts. Sure, but those "two" or so threads are the most popular film franchises that people would hop into to join. The Star Wars, Marvel, and other superhero threads tend to have the biggest issues with being unwelcoming and they're going to be the most appealing to a casual moviegoer, compared to, like, the kaiju thread or the Western thread. There's a reason why most goons--inside and outside of CineD--tell each other to avoid certain threads due to toxic personalities.

Sir Kodiak posted:Yeah, but as I said above when Basebf555 made this same point, that isn't some crazy coincidence. The more mass the entertainment is, the more an impassioned and idiosyncratic viewpoint is perceived as bizarre and the more likely it is that people will wander into the thread containing it. Yeah, we're mostly just saying the same thing to each other.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:To be very clear: Yo, real quick, cuz I've seen you do this a few times, and I can't think of a reason not to probate you for this: Why do you use offensive slurs when you accuse other people of being racist or phobic? Cuz that's really not cool, even if you choose to use slightly more archaic ones. It doesn't matter if you're accusing someone of discriminating if you're going to use your own slurs to do so. To clarify, since you're pedantic, this is in regards to posts on the last page, which I don't want to quote.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:People are saying, quite, unambiguously that characters in the films are racially inferior and otherwise subhuman. I am saying that that is wrong, using forceful language in a way that is admittedly rude. There's a big separation with being simply "rude" and using blatant racial slurs which you feel are justified because they help your point. Yours is easier to point to and say "You are using racial slurs". Don't worry, though. I'm reading through the posts and making notes.

You can call out bigotry without using discriminatory language yourself. I don't care if you like it or think it helps prove your point, it is still using bigoted language. Don't use your own slurs to call someone else a bigot. If there is bigotry or discrimination being spread, report it or PM me so I can address it.

Amethyst posted:This thread is years old and has winnowed away all of the people who are unwilling to recite tedious trivia to placate people like you. People who will ask a question, get a detailed answer, then ignore it to post flippant crap like "heh, 2000s star wars fans, amirite?" Okay, so if you’re not gonna talk about the movie or engage people who are actively trying to talk with you about the movie, then you can leave the thread. I understand you are smarter than everyone and definitely not mad or aggressive, but you are incredibly boring and disrupting conversation.

While your attempt at public service is admirable, yes, talking about Posting instead of actual movie discussion is dumb and disruptive. If you want to discuss this further, then PM me. If you want to continue posting in this thread, or any other CineD thread, stick to actual film discussion without insulting other posters. Or just eat sixers for every disruptive post.

Does the Darth Maul reveal at the end of Solo have any actual implication on the films, or is that in service of the EU shows I'm never going to watch?

Colonel Whitey posted:I’m not seeing the film until the day after Xmas so I’m hoping this thread will remain spoiler free. I guess I’m rolling the dice at this point but oh well Just to make sure everyone plays nice, if people post spoilers in this thread without hiding them, they will receive some solid probations.

Hello Star Wars friends of CineD. It has long been debated over the necessity of two Star Wars threads in CineD. I understand that a Spoiler Free, more chill Star Wars thread was a nice thing to have while we were awaiting the outcome of the latest trilogy. Now that Rise of Skywalker has had over a month to be seen, I feel comfortable closing one of the Star Wars threads. This has been a thing I've been thinking about since I became a mod, but there was never a good time or way of doing it. However! Now we have an entire subforum for Star Wars! Yay! Since there is plenty of room in that subforum, it seems even more redundant for this thread to exist. All things Star Wars must come to an eventual end, so new iterations can begin. The Star Wars Spoiler Thread will still be CineD's singular Star Wars thread. And even that will be getting a reboot in the near future*, as we prepare for whatever Disney decides will make the most money while disappointing the most fans. If you have questions or anything, as always, you may PM me or try to contact me on Discord, and I will respond when I get the chance. May the Force be with you!  *If you have ideas or interest in helping to make a new singular Star Wars thread for CineD, please also PM me.
