I don’t buy that. Poe is Wedge and Luke levels of famous in the Resistance. She definitely knows who he is. And yeah, they gave away the plan, but the film seems to imply they probably would have been spotted and stranded on that little planet anyway. It doesn’t make it seem like it would have worked at all.

It’s hard to know how to feel about this series. Finn was my favorite character in TFA and he was one of my least favorite in TLJ. The exact opposite happened for Kylo. It all feels like rough drafts. And weirdly it seems like they don’t know how to give their characters the focus they need. If Luke, Leia, and Han are…

I still haven’t heard an explanation of that whole subplot that makes sense to me. Why didn’t Holdo tell Poe the plan? Why didn’t she tell the whole crew the plan? The focus is on Poe, but the film makes it clear that he isn’t the only one who has qualms about them not having a plan. It’s even weirder since a plan…

Sometimes when I don’t like a film but many other people do I get it. Not a fan of Frances Ha or Breaking Bad or Anomalisa, but I see the appeal and I can tell what they did well. Those things just happen to not be things I’m interested in, but I see the craft, and I see how well put together they are.

I truly don’t…

They’re mostly of the historical bent, though. I don’t think of him as particularly diverse in skills and he has to tackle fantasy, which is already a difficult genre without adaptation being part of it.

“Tom Hooper”....hard pass.

Agreed, the Sparrow is awesome, Wrinkle in Time sucks.

No problem then. Replace the King’s Speech or Inception. One of those can be taken up by your suggestion, the other with I was born but...

This makes no sense now that the other two copies of their comment have been deleted.

Wasn’t convinced at first, but on the third read through of your comment you’ve sold me.

That’s a really good point. I’m not sure when or if it was released in the US in theaters. Still a damn good film.

Logan was really satisfying, especially after a decade of bloodless superhero films, but I don’t get the hype for it. Yeah, it was good, but it wasn’t mind blowing.

You’d bump the Martian? Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, the Revenant, and Room are all right there. The Martian is a better film that all of those, although I also think it’s a better film than Inside Out.

It’s a particularly strange approximation considering how much preference Nolan gives to the emotional core of his characters. Yeah, he has a visual style, but I tend to associate Nolan films with almost cheesy sincerity. For all its spectacle, Interstellar’s biggest scene is McConaughey crying while watching the…

I was thinking this with Lawrence of Arabia. It doesn’t matter what else was nominated as long as that won, which it did, so all is right with that year.

Yeah! If we’re going to prop up meaningless awards, Cannes is so much better.

1932 I was born but...

Most of you probably won’t see this, but to all of the determinists out there, so what? It doesn’t matter whether the universe is deterministic or it has free will because human nature, society, and thoughts in general work under the premise of free will. We literally can’t think in any but that we make choices. Even…

I don’t quite pick up on the pervy subtext, but in answer to the second question, nothing. Your pervy self is beautiful as it is. At least from what I remember. One of the names that I still recognize from the old AVC days.

Yeah but I don’t get laid and I don’t think like that.
