"…and he recently helmed Ted Chiang’s Story Of Your Life. And, of course, he’ll be at the Academy Awards next month, awaiting the final verdict on Arrival."

I think this conversation gets murky because Stormtroopers are designed to have their humanity visually stripped from them. Thought experiment: Would it seem weird/questionable if, in an Indiana Jones movie, there was a subplot involving a Nazi footsoldier defecting and becoming Indy's buddy, and then everyone merrily…

Agreed!

Carlton Cuse should do The Birds next. Then maybe Vertigo? I would watch a limited-series adaptation/expansion of Vertigo.

I will continue to defend Super Nadine, just as I defend the Ewoks and the time-travel season of Lost.

Not to mention the "coke nail" that Blu-Ray quality really shines a spotlight on.

If you're the kind of person who's open to exploring the canon, the yoke of oppression/slavery angle is made very concrete, almost to the point of being redundant, in "Star Wars Rebels" and some of the canon novels like "Lost Stars."

We could call it…SPACEBALLS!

Really? I thought he looked like a bad wax figure (no fault of his own of course, but the makeup always seemed totally over-exaggerated. Maybe if they combined his face with some CG augmentation it would sell better).

A Valorum mask, a Palpatine mask, a Mas Amedda…I can see some version of this for sure.

"Bad Grandpa" is a movie also — the Johnny Knoxville movie from a few years back.

Pretty sure that's what Westworld is.

At least you were probably playing the shareware, so you were saving money there. Though that's to say nothing of the 14 floppy install disks you had to buy.

Can anyone speak in more detail as to what the anachronism is with the turntable? I love stuff like that.

Just keep your stupid comments in your pocket!

The only problem with such a reimagining is that Jabba would be pretty #triggering to the gay community in a way akin to the sore-covered, nephew-obsessed Baron Harkonnen in Dune.

I just watched "Jacob's Ladder" yesterday for the first time with a friend, after hearing about it for years as one of the most terrifying movies ever made. I…didn't get it. Apart from two brief, clever scenes, there's not much that is very scary in the movie.

Chevy Chase uses the term in "National Lampoon's Vacation" (1983), so that 82-84 period the article calls out was the real Golden Age of Jagoff.

I guess the thinking is most people only really watch at most an average of 1 movie a day, so better to get a curated assortment of 30 you can rely on to be an edifying experience than 1,000 that's a minefield of garbage and things you love but have already watched.

This is almost like a Liartown USA generator
