There was plenty of coordination. JJ read and approved of his script and gave him dailies to watch as TFA was filmed, adjusting some things to transition more smoothly to the next movie. Executive producers are generally aware of what is happening in the movies they are paid for.

Rian Johnson had nothing to do with Solo, ever. And JJ read and approved of Rian’s script for TLJ, even making adjustments to TFA to accommodate a smooth transition between movies. TLJ was written before any of us audiences had seen TFA, and Rian watched dailies of TFA to help craft his script. The idea that Rian…

I appreciate this info, especially considering how many discussions of the sequel trilogy get derailed by fanboys insisting x and y was supposed to happen like in the books.

Yeahhhh, very good point. Qi’ra just got the shitty end of the stick from beginning to end, and my only consolation is that maybe they are planning to save her satisfying true liberation for later? Maybe??

Movie experiences aren’t made by consensus. A lot of very intelligent people sincerely enjoyed The Last Jedi, and not because of anything to do with Ring Theory. If you need your opinion of the movie affirmed there are plenty of youtube videos and subreddits ready to oblige you.

Because folks don’t call the cops on people for being bad company owners. Read the article maybe.

It’s not even the right use of “tl;dr”...

No they are not. Do not pull that. You aren’t punishing a screaming baby when you ask a parent to take them out of a concert hall. You are expecting the person responsible for managing their behavior to manage it. The Leagues are responsible for managing how their employees are treated and they did a bad job of it.

My father has a tbi and this same problem. He has gotten evicted from a nursing home for inappropriately touching staff. I love him and try to empathize with him, but I respect the home for not tolerating mistreatment of their employees. I did not try to draw out his humiliation and I understand he’s not always in his…

I saw the Dark Knight at the Arclight in LA and this Hollywood stereotype in a black turtleneck and designer glasses got a phone call right when Harvey Dent learned Rachel was dead and he took the call right there right then in the seat in front of me, didn’t even bother to lower his voice. I have never come closer to…

Beautifully put. I want to be able to resume enjoying Drafthouse but right now they are going to have to work to convince me they actually intend to change before I’ll be picking them over any chain with a proper HR department or possibly better management. I’m tired and angry at being reminded once again that my…

It wasn’t obvious. I appreciate that your glibness was not directed at the accounts described here and appreciate you saying so. But Jessica wasn’t the only one who reacted defensively. You know the internet is full of assholes and articles like this bring out the misogynists. You did not express yourself clearly…

Businesses reserve the right to refuse service for any reason.

Numbers don’t lie. Go over to Box Office Mojo and look at the numbers.

The applause in the theater was a pretty strong indicator.

Or else those are people who didn’t care for The Force Awakens and didn’t want to see the sequel. The second movie in a series very often gets lower box office than the first—same as how Empire did worse than A New Hope. And how do you come by the conclusion that there were no repeat viewings when even the folks…

Yup. I like how they don’t even bother to avoid repeating the same memes in the reviews they crank out.

Most people do like the movie. It’s a small minority of very loud, very angry nerds who make it seem like there’s a lot of doubt to its quality.
