  1. I guess George lucas sequel trilogy would have been met with some rotten reviews. But his movies would have Done matter
  2. Why Han Solo? The Falcon is captured by a larger ship piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca, looking to reclaim their former vessel. Han Solo is probably the coolest and funniest character in STAR WARS. But he is quite pointless in the grand scheme of things. In the Skywalker Saga he's just a dude who marries the daughter of Anakin Skywalker. The only thing he brings to THE FORCE AWAKENS is nostalgia. And not the kind of good nostalgia found in THE PHANTOM MENACE or many of Spielberg's movies where the nostalgia comes from the actual content and feeling. Han Solo is a replaceable character just like the Falcon is a replaceable ship. He doesn't symbolize anything. He has no meaning. He's just a funny dude. Not a big fan of Han Solo even if he may be the coolest space pilot in all galaxies. Thus I didn't get too upset when he was stabbed right through the stomach. What made me upset though was how pointless his death was. One could argue that Kylo Ren took his final steps on the dark way of the force. One could also argue that Rey lost a mentorish friend who didn't take her seriously. But did Kylo really stop being ambivalent? Always have a feeling that he is still the same guy as he was before he stabbed his father through the stomach? And did Rey really lose a mentor when Han Solo got stabbed through the stomach? And, wow... Han Solo didn't die a hero's death, nor was his death very tragic since we never got to see his and Kylo's life as father-and-son. He didn't accomplish anything. His death didn't have an effect on anything really. Death is an important part of STAR WARS. When Qui Gon died Anakin was left without father figure. All he had left was his jealous brother (i.e. Obi Wan) who thought Anakin was another pathetic lifeform. The turn of events shook Anakin who was now without mother or father. He's endless search of someone taking care of him and loving him had only begun. And when Mace Windu died it was all symbolism for the hubris related fall of the Jedi. And when Obi Wan died we got to realise what the Jedi was capable of beyond telling Storm troopers that "these are not the droids you're looking for".
  3. I think overall that j j abrams poor and uninspired vision is more in line with what sells in NA. Underdog: For some reason NA, Europe and asia prefers different kind of horrors it seems to me. In europe the unknown can scare the TFA of everyone, in asia it is ghosts that scares the TFA out of everyone, and in America its the slasher that scares the TFA out of everyone. just a thought, no trilling, but If someone wants to argue with that she/he is more than welcome to do so. Otherwise we can leave it and move along
  4. If it wasn't for 2001: A Space Odyssey I think I would consider Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood to be the movie of all movies. Truly amazing.

  6. Best american movie since Silence back in 2016. Pulp Fiction Once upon a time in hollywood Kill Bill vol. 1 Inglorious Basterds Reservoir Dogs Death Proof Kill Bill vol 2 Jackie Brown Django Unchained Hateful 8
  7. The ”mein kampf” of the 00’s. Hate propaganda and the kind of dangerous criticism that insults a talented and gifted movie directors vision. In many ways he probably is the reason why we got the TFA trash grab
  8. Wonder how the lists would have looked like if redlettermediaidiot wasnt around
  9. Daxtreme has been labelling George Lucas quite much. He also believed TFA is the 15th greatest movie of all time
  10. Eh... ”Bambi” has some of the most awesome cinematographies ever. The compositions in the frames are all Mona lisas
  11. I Dont want to spoil the party but i Wrote a similar story when i was seven or eight about me writing McCartneys ”pipes of peace” and my mother got so proud. In real life Shes proud anyways. Quite a lady. And i suppose the bus at the beginning took him on a magical mystery tour. Touché.
