  1. "From the Director of that Star Wars movie you only remember the last 2 minutes of"
  2. Not saying the movie will be bad but Steven Weintraub practically loves everything, his first reaction tweets are not a good indicator of quality.
  3. It seems like everyone who hates Elon Musk and wants Twitter to fail can't stop posting or lurking on it.
  4. The Departed is where its at imo. People like to say that movie only won BP/BD because Marty was "way overdue". Bullshit, wickedly entertaining movie with insane re-watch value and he hasn't made a better movie since.
  5. Not necessarily in a conservative Bill O'Reilly way, but he's definitely a safe boring ass corporate narrative man now full stop and will sometimes even act as an attack dog for some of the shittiest interests in this country.
  6. I like Bill Maher(not perfect, but who is in media) and he's the only late/political talk show left I watch because it doesn't just feel like a bunch of tightly controlled superfluous bullshit. Colbert in a lot of ways has become what he used to parody/make fun of. That state-corporate media complex money is helluva drug.
  7. I think this has much better award chances than The Irishman because it’s not full of really creepy and distractingly bad CGI faces or the worst beat down scene in history.
  8. After a rough first 3 episodes, these last two have been pretty good(minus the cringe kid of course ). The Whale stuff was weird but whatever. I'm sure Hayden Christensen loves being able to play Anakin again in a way that feels like a real person. He didn't even really feel like the same character as he did in the prequels which really further illustrates what a missed opportunity those movies were. He had the misfortune of getting very bad writing/direction in the prequels and unfairly got a lot of shit for those movies.
  9. Major points docked for having that kid in there for no reason whatsoever other than Disney being Disney. I know, I know...maybe its not a big deal in of itself but my brain alarm naturally goes off whenever I see blatantly corporate decisions like that...especially in the aftermath of baby Leia being shoehorned into and derailing what was supposed to be the Obi-Wan/Anakin show And while we're on that topic, how does a green tentacle head alien woman have what appears to be a completely human looking child? Yeah yeah I know nothing in Star Wars has had to make much sense for 40 years now, but I did find that distractedly odd even for Star Wars.
  10. Lol how many characters is that now in these shows that have just shrugged off a lightsabre through the chest or gut? 3? Poor Qui Gon rolling over in his grave
  11. I think it will do quite well because people are starved for quality content, or at the very least something that feels different from the usual CBM / Disney fare(like Oppenheimer / Barbie). I thought Dune Part 1 was a bit too dry on characterization(didn't care that much about anyone), but fuck me it still felt like a movie made by a filmmaker and not some producer cohort like your Kevin Feiges and Kathleen Kennedys who just churn out crap after crap of middling sameness and tropes.
  12. i'm not sure if America is ready for this shit
  13. 100% agreed on Edwards, Godzilla and Rogue One were some of the driest movies I've seen. Huuuge wait and see with The Creator. Napoleon is going to be the first really large scale bloody historical epic on the level of Braveheart and Gladiator so at the very least it has that going for it. Plus, Ridley Scott is still an insanely good production designer/cinematographer so there's that too. Or in cases such as these they could like...release the completed movies they have on schedule and stop pretending like they need actors for successful theatrical marketing campaigns in 2023. Barbenheimer, anyone?
  14. I doubt air defense shot it down but I'm sure a mechanic that worked on the plane recently was FSB lol Supposedly Utkin was also on the plane (the guy whose picture is posted every time to show that Russia also has a Nazi problem in the posting wars).
