Yup. It’s a fine film. I don’t think it works as a Star Wars story.

Meanwhile, I’m struck dumbfounded by the idea that someone thinks that Luke wasn’t an immature hothead who made a ton of bad decisions due to those flaws in the OT.

Baby Driver is a masterclass in film editing, but more importantly, it’s just a lot of fun.

Wow, yeah, I don’t care if this is removed from canon. It seems like people mostly liked the movie, which says to me that this new Star Wars is just not for me. But...I really hated it.

Here’s what I’m learning; I really liked the original trilogy, to the point where the rebels’ victory over evil in that movie, and the …

This has been going on for a long time. Everything is perfect, or else it is crap. It’s a digital world we live in and values between zero and one are not recognized.

Very few male sci fi writers can write a female character.

Doh! I need to gets me some more sleep >_<

Without watching the video, I’m gonna guess: something not very taxing :P

One thing that will always boggle my mind is how the AV Club review of John Oliver episodes covers his review of the news at the beginning, but barely mention the topic at hand. While the news and his opinion of it is great, it is essentially a mirror of what is said on Splinter, on Jezebel, etc. and is essentially…

I think HISHE suffers from the opposite problem: their criticisms often have no teeth (IMO). Just soft, passable jokes.

I think DC is missing huge opportunity to have Batman and Superman bag on each other constantly. Those HISHE videos make me laugh constantly. They’re light and fun.

Always a big supporter of How It Should Have Ended when it comes to “YouTube Series numerous takes on movies.” Just a little lighter and a little more loving of their material.

For sufficiently high values of 2, it is.

“but it doesn’t have the breakneck pace of the Raid.”

Eh. The hulkbuster fight is a terrible example, because, at the end if the day, it’s all animation. The main problem with superhero movie action is that, as Tom has sort of alluded to, the fights don’t feel real. The punches and explosions don’t hurt because they’re obviously literal cartoons. Part of the charm of…

This just reminds me that I would love to see a superhero film where there’s a fight between two heroes who have super-invulnerability but not super-strength. Just a prolonged sequence of two people shooting, stabbing, and beating each other to hilariously little effect, until they’re trying to run each other over…

“See here, Sugar Bowl, you’re playing a bit too rough. That poor teakettle is cracked enough.”

Sword in the Stone is underrated. “Mad Madam Mim” is a fabulous, underappreciated villain song.

The Jungle Book is probably my favorite Disney movie, followed closely by The Sword in the Stone. (I love the aggressive little sugar bowl.) I actually think The Jungle Book may be the first movie I saw in the theater way back in 1967. Sheesh, I’m old.
