Lazy gatekeeping is lazy gatekeeping. Try harder.

It’s crazy and makes no sense, but somehow it’s the only idea that makes any sense at all. I kind of love it. 

The third one also has some choice grumpy old academic dialogue from Sam Neil. Grant really feel like a university professor in this one. And unlike Malcom in Lost World, he feels like the same character from the first movie. He’s still a bit cold, still awkward with kids, still in love with field work, etc. He has…

I won’t get into the “sequel trilogy” because frankly they’re all terrible for different reasons.

You’re unknowingly proving the point being made.

McCoy, Schell(!), Elvira.

Jumping in to say I groaned too.

My favourite part of the ridiculous Fairhaven episode is when the B plot collides with the A and the ship is hurtling through some kind of deadly peril and in desperate need for power. Then Harry dramatically states: “Captain, there’s not enough time to go through the hologrid shutdown sequence. We’d lose most of Fair…

So far the show’s biggest weakness is in the staging and cinematography of it’s action sequences. The chases and fight scenes in this show have done nothing for me, this one included.

There will be a follow up fight after  Kenobi gets his groove back. He’ll hand Vader his ass (thus establishing Vader’s “learner” status) but leave him alive once again, out of sympathy.

One might say that the film...found a way.

Sam Neill isn’t even the writer, though, so that could still be the intent of that scene for all we know.

And it’s not necessarily disproven either.  Just because Speilberg didn’t share the intent with Sam Neil doesn’t mean that Speilberg didn’t make it forshadowing, it just means he didn’t discuss it with Neil during the filming.

Just look at Shakespeare. He probably meant some stuff when he was writing, but we’ve now spent so many centuries overanalysing his work that i think more has been written on every single play than he ever wrote. They’ve been given orders of magnitude more consideration by their audience than they ever were by their…

Learned that a long time ago in literature classes: it being an unintentional metaphor, doesn’t make it any less a metaphor.

Even accidental foreshadowing is still foreshadowing.

I’m curious how many video commentaries you see online analyzing all of these minute details in movies and finding all of this hidden meaning when the real explanation is some mundane thing like “the set designer chose that color because the paint was cheaper”.

I'm pretty deep in JP fandom but never encountered this theory. Guess its one of those things some of website makes out to be a big deal while there's like 3 people who talked about it online. 

Nah. Death of the author and all that.

Seems pertinent:
