Worst. Chris.

How do you not get a professional voice actor to play the character in the movie...he knows how to do voices and has done Mario.

I was less irritated by Han Solo dying that I was the notion that 40 years after the fact, one of the heroes of the Rebellion was reduced to trying to pull off the same scams and heists he’d been doing before he ever became involved.  It was basically like the creators of the sequel trilogy decided that Han Solo never

Hiring JJ Abrams for Star Wars was an argument many smart people assumed would work, especially after the first Star Trek reboot, which was the successful Star Wars/Trek combo that the TNG movies wish they were.

Woman in loveless marriage finds comfort in the researcher of one of her greatest contributions to culture and thus one of the only other people at the time who could possibly recognize and appreciate them? Gee, nothing potentially understandable or human in that.

Hot take: if your first response to the idea of a woman

It’s a fair cop.  Jaws and Star Wars pretty much set the template for blockbuster movies for the next few decades, so she deserves the accolades.

Killing Han, Luke and Leia are all fine. The Last Jedi having a message that any nobody can be a Jedi is fine. The issue with the Disney trilogy was a lack of a plan for a trilogy and trusting the first movie to mister “mystery box”.   I don’t hate TLJ but it’s clearly a different tone the TFA.  And the less you say

The original movie? You can make a strong case for Marcia. Particularly if the lore that she single-handedly invented the third act is true, and I have no reason to think it’s not.

Making Star Wars into Star Wars-as-we-know-it? I’m gonna lay most of the credit at the feet of Kenner Toys, Marvel, and every other

You don’t get the magic of Star Wars.

given enough time, we will all be cast members at some point.

Fieri was filming at a restaurant my wife served at. Producers told the female chefs to wear clothes that didn’t show cleavage, as Fieri was prone to “stare”. I’m gonna sit this one out. 

He might be a nice guy in most areas of his life, but I won’t forgive him for headlining a COVID-denier/anti-masker rally in my parent’s hometown last summer at the height of the COVID pandemic. This event was chud’s-choice of local far-right ideologues, all of which espousing the idea that COVID wasn’t something to

He just seems like a good guy. That’s the vibe celebrity chef Guy Fieri, the chummy king of The Food Network, gives off. The way he pals around with guests, contestants, and judges on Diners, Drive-Ins And Dives and Guy’s Grocery Games is electric, down-to-earth, and inviting.”

Perhaps if he supported liveable wages and unionization for the people and industry he claims to care about, such charitable works wouldn’t be needed. Instead, these acts of charity also serve to shore up the system of wild exploitation.

But shit like that does matter. If someone was donating a big portion of their $ to the Trump campaign, or Westboro Baptist or Antivaxxer stuff would you want to keep giving them your money? 

I know this is all cartoon based, but I would kill for them to integrate old school 80's live action stuff like Mr. Wizard, You Can’t Do That On Television, or Double Dare.

Jake Bussey as Guile..

Anyway, Feige’s two-stepping around controversy continued as he said he’s “all for amicable solutions” when it came to the ScarJo suit. Giving a milquetoast soundbite is Feige’s superpower.

There is no Shang-Chi controversy he just got in his feelings over misunderstanding a quote and is too embarrassed to admit that he’s wrong despite seemingly everyone else understanding the initial quote.

Sure, you have your Shazam!s and your Ant-Mans, but on the whole, American superhero cinema has become preoccupied with the somber responsibility of being a demigod in a world full of helpless victims.
