Vakal posted:Can anyone even remember the last time an actor was in a movie so bad that it actually ruined their career? Ruined? idk. I can think of more recent instances of performers trying to make the jump to film from stand-up or tv and getting bounced out of Hollywood after their first mainstream lead role — Tom Green, Elizabeth Berkley, Tupac, etc.

Frank Frank posted:I enjoyed both Prometheus and Rogue One. I avoided Rogue One for a long time but it turned out to be the only Star Wars movie since ROTJ that I liked (still haven't seen Solo or ep 9 and never will, God willing), and I'd rank it right after Empire and A New Hope. Although they were brief, the very worst parts were all the bits with Vader, including the final sequence — Final Fantasy Peter Cushing was tasteless and bad, but at least his character had a reason to be there, and Ben Mendelsohn jockeying with him for power was a great subplot culminating in, for me, one of the most memorable effects shots of the last decade All this is to say that, compared with Prometheus, Rogue One is Citizen Kane

No Mods No Masters posted:I guess this is where the posters watching it congregate, so how has the tokyo vice been turning out? I sort of lost track of it, I guess because of shogun and the arc with the white lady trying to get the blueprints from the architect yada yada being a bit stale It's okay. Maybe a bit better than the first season but still dragged down by a lot of goofy acting (Ansel Elgort and whoever plays Tozawa are both mediocre in their roles, and the talent drops off steeply outside the central characters) and a utilitarian script with zero surprises. It doesn't measure up to two other bilingual shows I've watched recently, Giri/Haji and Shogun

Bottoms didn't seem that funny in the first half. But then as it went on, it kept taking a standard raunchy high school comedy and deliberately pushing it to surprising/uncomfortable points. All the stock characters who would ordinarily be revealed to be likeable/sympathetic or to have surprising depth just don't, and then it turns into this carnival of violence. Good poo poo

Lister posted:I thought a big part of the prequels is how the jedi are wrong about them not having relationships. Like it was the a big example of the jedi order's extreme rigidity. If they'd been cool with him loving, he would have never needed to start breaking rules. Anakin did a one-man ethnic cleansing of Tusken raiders because the Jedi's rules on relationships were too strict? The prequels were silly but they weren't that silly. Plus the wisdom of prohibiting sexual relationships was proven when Anakin's first sexual relationship was exploited by a Sith lord to blackmail him into destroying the Jedi. Every exception the Council made for Anakin — letting Qui Gon train him even though he was too old, allowing him to openly flout their authority by allying with secular power, overlooking his relationship with Padme — came back to bite the Republic in the rear end. If you think the Jedi's main problem was being too strict with Anakin, you're probably 15 years old.

Nigmaetcetera posted:They were ok with loving, they had a problem with close emotional bonds and emotional interdepency, exactly the opposite of actual monastic orders. That's just George Lucas opining, like J.K. Rowling saying Dumbledore was gay: not supported in the text. In fact it's implicitly contradicted by the Jedi's clear separation from society at large, their attitude toward romantic attachment, their literal monk's robes, etc. If forming attachments is frowned upon, why would sex be OK? Who isn't at risk of forming attachments from sex? In what context would they even have the opportunity to have an attachment-free sexual liaison? They throw on some jeans and hit a bar when they clock out? It's almost unimaginable.

No Mods No Masters posted:I think people would like that to be what the prequels are saying because it makes sense to a human. But really how it goes down with anakin makes the love ban look 100% logical, merited, and correct. Attachment absolutely did make him wildly susceptible to the monster mash/graveyard smash. The jedi's problem was they didn't actually bother enforcing that rule at all. They need to be more trad if anything. yep

Nigmaetcetera posted:If Lucas says they gently caress then they gently caress, and the alternatives to hoes/one-night-stands are all unthinkable. Catholic priests also gently caress, but it's against the rules. The argument is whether the Jedi Order condones loving. I really don't think so. It doesn't make sense to prohibit romantic attachment but permit loving, which is perhaps the single mostly likely thing to give rise to romantic attachment.

Jose Oquendo posted:This is one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen in this thread. There is a lot of corny writing in Oppenheimer, mostly in the congressional hearing frame narrative. Nolan obviously didn't trust the audience to understand what was going on, so he had Robert Downey Jr. be theatrically mincing and smug and secret service agent Hobie Doyle be all like 'gee mister I don't think that's what America is all about' at intervals I still thought the movie was great but if you have a low tolerance for that kind of thing I can see why it would sour you on it overall
