  1. Dread and tension are great. I love getting that feeling. But the pay off needs to be huge. You should build dread and tension towards a total overwhelmingly shtf climax. I feel like this studio, uses tension to mildly elevate pretty mediocre conflicts.
  2. This is just embarassing. you posted links and mislead what they would say. The other user pointed out that, that wasnt DL's number. now you are being a dick about you burning them? Delusional.
  3. You're comments have been correct. Star Wars isn't rocket science but there's a level of optimism and purity needed to execute it. It's been my experience that certain film demographics are filled with cynics and probablly why you are getting such rude resistance.
  4. Damn, I didn't know any of that and it is so fucked. the fact you are getting ridiculed for pointing out such a bigoted work environment and process open to bias shows exactly how these racist, sexist, bigot arguments lose all bite. people are really insinuating this poster is the bigot for pointing out a conscious decision was made to have only hire type of person?
  5. Is there actually prejudiced sexism? Or is criticism like Rey is a Mary Sue and they aren't making her relatable bc the social climate has them too scared to not have her be a paragon and concerns of ideological film making makes uninspired, disingenuous flat movies that lack nuance being called sexism?
  6. What's you accurately point out here is exactly why TLJ critics are so vocal. It's constant PR spin and denial of reality for corporate messaging.
  7. You are absolutely right but the spin for TLJ and Disney is so immense I have seen it being pushed that Han Solo just isn't as popular of a character / or a weak 1 dimensional character that is only good as a side note. the in crowd for whatever reason will do everything else, burn the fandom, disrespect Lucas, ridicule the OT before they admit TLJ was not liked.
  8. Exactly everything right here, but yet we get bs like this... This is why TLJ has to constantly be brought up. Bc the in crowd just won't acknowledge it hurt the franchise and wasn't liked.
  9. They can't answer honestly. All these people annoyed that TLJ keeps getting mentioned and calling this thread cancer just can't see it's bc of their denial. We are watching Solo bomb after the previous film was disliked, and people still can't say without a qualifier, and, or, but, snide, disappointed, angry remark that TLJ is having a large impact on performance. if TLJ's dislike could be objectively and truthfully acknowledge without derision or an argument, it would all stop. You wouldn't need post after post to exaplin what is right in front of us but denied.
  10. Why do you cook up these weird identities for people that disagree with you? Perfectly normal well adjusted people can disagree, it doesn't mean you or the otherside has to be weird with issue to explain the difference. this is the first time I have spoke about the TLJ in months, don't have a Twitter, no a YouTuber. I'm a busy perfectly mild mannered married man with a job who has a day off. as far as who went where 1st, opening weekend already had people being called stupid for disliking the movie. It wasn't even Monday and the PR was already putting down fans and the OT to defend the TLJ. I remember exactly bc I flipped after the treatment of criticisms. I got out of the theater and thought that was weird, underwhelming, and pretty derrivative, but not as bad as TFA. Then when all criticism was met with insults and the only way of of praise was by putting other movies or people down, I had to really think about the movie. after close consideration looking for the intelligent, new, bold directions that SW needed, I saw how weak, poorly executed, and incoherent the story was mixed with aggressive cynicism, corporate branding, and disdain.
  11. What's the difference from you continuing to say you like it and you don't understand the dislike and want it to go away so SW can continue exactly how you want without acknowledging the criticisms?
  12. There is a significant number of people that don't like it. Is it not being reflected at the box office? Should the aggregate sites not reflect the box office and level of dislike?
  13. I am legitimately curious bc I don't seen any difference in phrasing or tone from all the other posts arguing the opposite direction. How is my post so different? i didn't even make a value judgement like the opposing posts of whether that is a good or bad thing, just acknowledged that it happened.
