the twist of the movie with batista was that there was no twist for once, making it the best shyamalan movie in decades

also batista is a good enough actor to carry an otherwise blah movie

I loved shogun but the last episode left me deeply unsatisfied and feeling kinda blue balled. But that's basically exactly how the book ends too, so I don't really blame them. You're just left to infer and imagine what happened afterwards but I wanted some extended cut Return of the King style ending.

I ended up reading a ton about the actual guy the Anjin was based off of, and boy he had a much more interesting story where everything covered by the Shogun miniseries was barely the beginning of.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
today's cinematrix had "movies set in space" with james earl jones, harrison ford, and liam nii-san as categories and I sat there for like 5 minutes going "wtf. uh. ? ... jeez, was he in apollo 13? air force onnnnne no hahaha. james earl jones? was james earl jones in armageddon or deep impact or..?.? wtf is going on. does mount olympus count as space?"

then of course I realized what was happening and felt like a complete idiot
ford was in ender's game, jones was in quantum quest, and neeson was in men in black 4. duh-doi

if nobody has to put on an astronaut suit, your movie's not set in space, gently caress you

I've always found it in really poor taste when some work of fiction decides to take some horrific historical event and put some new spin on it to absolve the perpetrators or somehow make it seem like it was all for a good reason we just don't know about. I think it was White Wolf who got correctly poo poo on for creating some WWII source book that explained all the behind the scenes supernatural stuff going on during the war and how, actually, the holocaust was kinda good or at least a necessary evil.

I liked in metal gear solid 3 where, the u.s. agreeing to remove icbms from turkey during the cuban missile crisis was actually a cover, because the u.s. had been planning to do that anyway (which is actually true, but the reason was that we'd secretly figured out nuclear subs, so, like, who gives a poo poo) so it didn't really make sense for the soviets to give up such a strong strategic advantage as having nuclear launch sites in cuba in exchange for basically nothing. the real reason (in game) of course was revealed to be that YOU are metal gear solid 3 which I thought was a cool way to play with historicity in a way that's not insulting to the people who were actually involved

It's like that time in star wars when it turned out the emperor knew that bizarre aliens were going to invade the galaxy and kill everyone, so that's why he needed death stars and a huge military buildup.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
One of the saving graces of the sequel movies was going "At least they removed all the stupid poo poo that happened to Han and Leia's kids.". Then, you know know, the movies happened.

.....still think it's a wash on which one was stupider. No, I take it back, it's the books. At least Adam Driver can act.

No, there's plenty that could be dumber than Adam Driver killing Han Solo.

Like BDSM Space Aztecs breeding murder hounds that eviscerate Han and Leia's youngest son. Then their eldest son turns evil and convinces his dead brother's girlfriend to join him by coercing her with time travel sex with said dead brother. Then his twin sister decides that the best weapon to bring to a lightsaber fight is a Mandalorian machete, which she uses to cut off his arm. Then she tracks him down to a star destroyer he's named after his dead brother and has a rematch with him where she throws him into a box of used syringes before stabbing him through the heart with a lightsaber. Then she and her parents all watch as his body rolls along a conveyor belt into a garbage incinerator.

Also during this time dead brother's ex GF is sexually assaulting Luke's 14 year old son while he's strapped down to a torture rack. She gets a redemption arc in the next book series.

And that dead brother's name was Anakin Solo, younger brother to Jacen and Jaina solo.

It's bad, but it was silly enough to make me laugh which is more than I can say for The Room which was just baffling to me. A woman I was seeing convinced me to watch it with her, and I guess it's interesting in the fact that it fails at literally every single aspect of filmmaking but it's not worth watching at all.

I watched Roar for the first time recently and despite watching it I can't believe that film exists.

Snoke tells him to do it as a point-of-no-return to him being evil. That's why han's ghost has to come back and say "I forgive you. You can be good again."

Thanks heaps for posting this. I got about 5 words in and my eyes slid right off. I had no desire to bring anything else from this into my life.

Instead it gave me the opportunity to really reflect on my personal journey and genuinely appreciate the growth that allowed me to just immediately peace out from nonsense with absolutely no fomo, curiosity, or even anger.

Apropos of nothing, today I was thinking about Arrested Development and was thinking how it is kind of a similar plot to Game of Thrones in that a family is jockeying for power and there are a lot of illegitimate children.

I guess Succession is kind of like that too really.

It was really because I was thinking about how there were some people in the Bluth family who actually were illegitimate (maeby) and others who were legitimate but were outside it (Steve holt!)

Anyway I think about dumb poo poo while sitting in traffic.
