If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 1000 times: The Rock is garbage and the complete lack of irony in him calling anyone else “fake” is hilarious. That’s almost Trump level projection.

Sandworms are for dreams.  Slake-moths are for nightmares. 

Opposite for me. I’m hoping the rose-tinted glasses over Soul will fade in time, and it- Pixar’s first Black lead spending half the film as a damn cat- will be seen for what it was: Just ok. We’ve seen Pixar do much, much better.

Maybe it’s becoming more mainstream for you, but as a black dude this whole discussion reminds me of conversations I had with unnecessarily angry “woke” PoC since forever. Like the guy who insists on ruining Thanksgiving dinner to argue about the Tuskegee experiments or something. Or the girl who would start hours…

And that’s the thing, it’s Rita Moreno.

As a, light skinned Latinx, I will say there are times it sucks being that because like lots of minorities it comes at you from both sides.

Ken Jennings has the smarmy condescension that Trebek would show without the charm that made it tolerable.

And The Watcher in the Woods please! They’d make for a good double feature of movies that scared the bejesus out of me as a kid.

we just sort of breeze past it and We Are Who We Are doesn’t end up saying anything at all about gender roles and expectations.

Not to mention he has two lesbian moms (and while their lives are very military based, from what we see they’re pretty accepting of Fraser in general--to a fault when it comes to things like his drinking). 

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen this movie, and don’t care to think how many more I’ll see it. Doesn’t matter if it’s on Syfy or Netflix, background noise or the main attraction, I’m still going to watch it.

When the 25 year re-release came, I saw it again, at the IMAX in Waterloo, and it did not disappoint.

A few omissions...

Filmstruck was the greatest ever. With that gone, it’s now the Criterion Channel.

Dude, this isn’t rocket science. Rian killed off Snoke and set up Kylo as his own “master”, which is what was being built up since his introduction as a character (e.g., his betrayal of Luke, his killing of Han, his love-hate fervor with Vader’s memory, his seeing Rey as a member of his generation that he could rule…

and laura dern smashing that ship is way cooler than all of rise of skywalker.

Rian was writing TLJ while TFA was in production, while RoS’s script was trashed and the job was handed over to JJ just a little before TLJ came out. Say what you will about either JJ film, but RoS definitely suffered from a quick production timeline.

Funny, I was listening to Blank Check this week, and they bring up the fact that “planning out the trilogy” has only become an idea since Marvel dominated the franchise world. I can’t name a single three-film trilogy that was planned out from start to finish, and, as Griffin points out, even Marvel was retooling its…

“The offical AV Club party line is that The Last Jedi was an amazing movie that revitalized the Star Wars franchise,”

I like TLJ, but, I don’t think anyone can argue against that Johnson at least could have integrated plot points from TFA into his script more than just slashing and burning them.
