When did Finn use the force?

It wasn’t a “pointless side quest.” It was a quest that ultimately failed at the last moment.

It sounds like your midichlorian count is low today.

“Wouldn’t it be funny if fire food was really spicy?’

I was always impressed by some of those “look at all of the CGI background stuff we” demo reels that would pop up once in a while every year near the Emmys, and how much any show that shoots on location actually uses it. Law and Order might be one of the most CGI heavy network show made because of it....but you would…

Based on people I know who have taken writing classes at Second City, where former SNL writers frequently come by to teach, being a writer on SNL is less about trying write funny skits, and much more about background political maneuvering to get “the hot performer” in your skit. So you hear these old stories about…

Yep. Here’s this “ancient artifact”, that well, it’s only 30 years old, that points to the command deck of a crashed ship in heavy surf that hasn’t moved/been beaten up by said surf. Oh and let’s hide/don’t-bother-to-plunder this very valuable, very rare navigation ancient device in exact place where it actually…

I guess what we really need is a movie trilogy that explains the creation of the “ancient” knife that leads Rey to the Sith navigation thingie on the destroyed Death Star, mostly because it could be the stupidest mcguffin ever in a major movie production.

Well,three movies in three wildly different time periods gives you the chance to do three different trilogies if the first movie of each does well.

The sad part is that in this case "Scooby Doo" want even a party of the investigations.

I think basically the same as Old Smithers who Fred unmasks as the  ghost of the abandoned amusement part....(the plan really doesn't matter)

“SNL host" is a really good way to describe her performance. 

Yeah, what started out as an homage to Man With No Name has kind of turned into an old 1930s Saturday matinee-for-a-simpler-era Flash Gordon serial. Which is fine, I guess, given that that’s the original roots of Star Wars, but I also find it about as interesting as watching old Scooby Doo cartoons.

Yeah, I really liked the Elrond/Durin stuff, and fleshing out all of the Dwarven culture.

I completely get complaining about “music that only makes sense because some guy in marketing demanded it because Market Segment X will recognize it” in stuff like this. It’s trite and shallow, and just kind of permeates the whole project of why it was developed instead of developing the music / soundtrack to…

Well I consider the stranger/pre-Hobbits to be a single story... And kind of hated the whole reveal of who the stranger was,and the Sauron reveal which didn’t make much sense, beyond the typical Star Wars problem of “here’s a bunch of new characters....but really the universe is tiny and everyone just want to see the…

There’s “slow boil,” but there is also spending 6 hours of 5 or 6 completely different unrelated storylines (heck the pre-Hobbits never link up to anybody else in the end, did they?). And I’m not even sure some of the storylines developed beyond pushing pieces around on a board. (Though the plot of why the orcs were…

I know that’s technically not how copyright works, but by continually re-imagining stories and characters you are keeping the IP within your wheelhouse.

Actually,I never get the love for Major League, which just comes off as a bad 80s sitcom that just happens to be 3 episodes long. 

Again, these takes really aren't about the art of creating new films as much as it is keeping the IP refreshed often enough so Disney doesn't eventually lose copyright/IP rights.
