They’re fun. 8/10 would recommend.

I still think they wasted the Bad Boys For Life title on the third movie, which obviously should’ve been called Bad Boys 3-D: Tokyo Drift.

I tend to disagree. Even in the OG series, you can make a pretty strong argument that Obi-wan and Yoda are highly manipulative, and are kind of moral gray figures even if you accept the idea that they have what they genuinely see as the greater good of the galaxy at heart.

This is such a fantastic piece of adaptation, and I hope this creative team gets to continue with the story post-Interview.

“Can’t wait for them to sell to someone else.”

If you heard “don’t be racist” and got offended, then you need to do some serious soul-searching. The vitriol against this show in particular has been shocking. The damn thing isn’t even out yet, but so many people decided to be the absolute dregs of society.

Do you like Quentin Tarantino? Or Martin Scorsese? Or Steven Soderbergh? Or Paul Thomas Anderson? Because Weinstein produced or distributed some of their movies.

Alternatively, this is Disney reacting to the sustained racist/sexist/etc. diatribes that have already been levelled against the show prior to its release, apparently merely for existing.

Yeah. For reference, two of the longest standing ovations in Cannes history are The Neon Demon and Mud at just under 20 minutes. Neither of those films are worthy of a 20 minute standing ovation.

At a certain point I imagine it becomes Applause Chicken: no one wants to be the first to stop clapping.

He’s Australian. We have pretty good bullshit-o-meters for this sort of thing.

I can’t remember a time in my life before the clapping!!! My hands hurt! Please let us stop! 

And it is ok that people enjoy fluffy stuff. The world is going to shit so let people have some empty calories fun stuff not everything had to be Emmy winning health food. ( mixing metaphors intentionally)

“There were two days when we shot a celebratory Studio 54-esque club scene where Francis walked around the set to establish the spirit of the scene by giving kind hugs and kisses on the cheek to the cast and background players.”

The one thing Ring of Power did well compared to the Lord of the Rings films is establish the orcs as a credible threat rather than just red shirts waiting to be stabbed by untrained hobbits half their size.
