being a movie going teen in the late 80s, i find interesting how many movies that were marginal at best when they came out 30 years ago are now considered to these weird not-quite-cult classic. Hook was considered to be one of spielbergs worst movies at that time(especially considering the star power of the cast )and…

While I like the game, I’m always annoyed that it takes just as long to set up as it takes to play the game.

But WAS she “so powerful so fast”? When did actually occur? It’s not like the first two movies had her flying through space while knocked unconscious.

I liked the idea that she came from no one special, but I never really thought that that fact was actually “truly revealed” given that it was from Kylo at the time and that he could simply be lying to get her to join his cause. It was a very unreliable narrator moment.

I think the concept that there are was war profiteering going on in the SW universe is new and interesting.

Aren’t you effectively giving half your salary away if you are working twice the amount of hours you expected to work?

“They do try to take care of you, providing food, encouragement to go take breaks,” said one former developer.

The final battles over Scarif in Rogue One is actually a really nice bit of filmmaking. It does some wonderful “quiet” transitions with camera work between the various battles that are going on. For example, watch how the camera follows some ships battling in the sky, a ship gets hit, and the camera follows it down to…

I used to like Max, until I realized that the second you go missing or are killed, she goes around rooting in your footlocker for personal momentous is pretty kinky. At least Old Joe in Christmas Carol was doing it to make a profit.

Yeah, for as much as I don’t particularly like the prequels as “movies”, I do have to give Lucas props for trying to tell a somewhat different story at a weirder political pacings, and he at least had a concept of “if I film everything on green screen, I can take you to wacky new worlds” so you get Corsucent, the…

You should be banned!

They didn’t really take advantage of the 50th anniversary. The regimen at the time dropped the ball on the promo of the film.

How about Lord of the Rings? The original Rankin Bass cartoon made $30 million on a $4 million budget, so it could be considered popular.

If someone is portraying you or your brand in a film, you have to rights to expect to get paid for it. It’s pretty simple. Hence the post-production blurred images in the background in Grease. It’s the same with licensing music.

“Dillard has some strong connections to the Star Wars universe though. He was one of J.J. Abrams’ assistants during the production of The Force Awakens and appeared as a Stormtrooper in The Rise of Skywalker.”

Well, until five years from now Disney ramps up the next trilogy in the Skywalker Saga to get you to buy the updated Skywalker Saga collection in 10 years.

Because apparently Jedi ghosts are kind of pricks. Sure, they show up at random and lightning trees and lift xwings out of oceans while giving bits of wisdom. But they sure aren’t going to stick yheir neck out and show up in the heat of a battle and prevent hundreds of compatriots from dying. At least the army of the…

Yep, that’s my problem with it. Jedi’s could do cool backflips, could maybe cloud the minds of others (given what the story required), and maybe lift an xwing out of a swamp with a lot of concentrated effort. Then suddenly an UNCONSCIOUS character is flying around in space breaks a lot of rules.

It seems like anyone who would want to see a Harley movie woulld already know that Birds of Prey is a Harley movie. I’m not sure putting her name at the front gets you anything more, unless it’s a matter of some marketing guy wanting to create “the brand”. Julie like so those James Bond movies need James Bond in the…

I’m not convinced that the Endgame fight scene is “worthy”. While I admit it was fun and silly and comic booky in a good way, it also felt like it was all done on a computer; I never really felt like it was a “real place” in the same sense that, say, the original LotR movie fight scenes had due to the combination of…
