It has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the article, and ignores the fact that maybe, just maybe, J.J. Abrams might be the best man or woman for the job.

They fired Trevorrow 27 months before Episode IX is now to be released. The current script will most likely end up being scrapped. So, they have to find people who can write and supervise rather quickly the third act in a very much big budget trilogy, in a series cherished by millions of people.

God that first sentence is obnoxious.

Isn’t that being a little unfair to the Inuit’s second race to lump it under the biracial label. Most biracial inuits I know of like to acknowledge their whole heritage, like “Chinese-Inuit”.

It would be a valid complaint if this wasn’t a movie with just a few months to go before filming. Kennedy’s a pragmatist. She wants to avoid delaying the opening past December 2019, which would have been bad for the bottom line, so Johnson and/or Abrams were going to be the first pick. Also, Kathleen Kennedy is a…

Oh you got me there. Case in point:

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the somebodies???

And it wouldn’t be a Xanderpuss comment unless he was complaining about someone pointing out inequality.

I know this is a controversial opinion, but I really, really liked The Force Awakens, and I’m glad that the guy who started this new trilogy is coming back to finish it.

I agree they were the main problem, but a secondary problem was definitely the mentality of “well, now that we’ve established this brand new timeline, we can literally do anything with anyone...let’s do Wrath of Khan.”

That means it will lose a full letter grade in the review.

On the downside, should Abrams take the job, it does mean that Kennedy has once again whiffed on bringing a woman and/or person of color on board to direct a Star Wars movie.

Honestly, “worth seeing” is about the best King adaptation review I’ve ever read.

I saw this last night and would not call this script clunky at all. That’s really surprising. Each of the kids are great but the dialogue is great and the script takes time to make sure we have a real connection to each kid and their fears. That’s a good script. The Derry history and menacing adults were handled very…

Ah, just thank goodness they ditched that ending. Speaking as a long time Stephen King fan, I’ve never worked out just how he managed to misjudge that scene so badly.

Oh, you should still go see it. Just don’t go in expecting a masterpiece.

I know I was confused as well. I thought the middle story was one of the more affecting stories told this ep.

My understanding was slightly heavier than that. Marceline tried to get the cure, failed (or was unable to deliver it) and then decided she'd rather die with PB than live without her.

Cool. I was worried I had misinterpreted it somehow, as neither the review nor the comments brought that up. I actually thought that was a pretty telling moment regarding the depth of their relationship, however one chooses to categorize it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, as the review doesn't discuss this at all: So, Marceline's story shows that she didn't turn into Marshmallowine immediately and tried to save Bubblegum. But she failed and then gave up, allowing herself to transform like everyone else. Right?
