Yeeessss! Thank you for articulating what I was feeling after watching the first three episodes. I’m going to watch the rest this coming weekend, but I was surprised by how little emotional or psychological content was present in those those first three episodes. I didn’t really feel anything while watching them.
There…
“That is one of those events that would be interesting to see in comic or short story.”
My interest and optimism for a new Indiana Jones film is entirely because of James Mangold. He doesn’t do flash, he does characters. And when your film rests on an actor who is an octogenarian that’s an important distinction.
It’s everything I think that everybody wants out of an Indiana Jones movie.
I’m sure I’m the minority among Indy fans, but giving me exactly what I want would mean they’d stop trotting out a geriatric Harrison Ford to amble his way through Indy: The Senior Years
And even if they did, “everything everyone wants” is invariably a recipe for a terrible movie.
That comic book arc you describe is exactly what I wish Episode 3 had been. Anakin getting ground down by the war. Haunted by losing so many people under his command. Forced to make shitty decisions that send him into doubt and damage his sense of morality until only preserving the order of the Republic is important…
I agree! It’s way too much oftentimes.
Okay hold on, let’s back up a sec. Tony Soprano was a bad guy, but he wasn’t the story’s antagonist. He, like Walter White, was an anti-hero. The Sopranos cast him as the protagonist of its story, while acknowledging that he was more bad than good. Still, it invited the audience to sympathize with him anyway, to see…
Given the mission statement of this slide show, I’d at least add Bicentennial Man, which actually does a lot of heavy lifting in the area of “what does it mean to be Human and can I have some of it?”
Oh weird! I vaguely remember a few shots in the prequels where the characters had pretty obvious glow on them from their lightsabers but maybe that was an effect they only used a couple times and without any consistency.
Needs more “Obi Wan is actually two 12 year olds in a trenchcoat.”
It’s really weird now to see images from the live action, pre-Sequel Trilogy movies because the lightsabers don’t illuminate anything.
Gina Gershon was on an episode of Celebrity Ghost Story, telling a story about a ghost haunting her while she was a college student studying for a test in the nude for some reason. I am not really going to question whatever she wants to do, frankly
Honestly, the idea that there can only be one superhero with the same name needed to be thrown out the trash a long time ago, especially with Bat-characters. If the idea that Batman is a myth still stands in the DCU, then you can have multiple Batmen and Robins running around. Giving Tim the Red Robin name and costume…
Damien wasn’t silver age though
Most definitely, what with bringing back Hal and Barry, though shunting Tim aside for Damian is baffling, since he was new (ignoring the appearance in Batman: Son of the Demon in ‘87)
Doctor Doom as Phantom of Latveria.
