...along with the soundtracks for Natural Born Killers, Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey and The Crow.

I can’t believe that awful piece of universe-destroying hack filmmaking has a name.
It’s not a maneuver for a start - it’s a kamikaze run and not the first time we’ve seen them in Star Wars either except somehow this time it manages to do something that is completely at odds with every single way space combat has been…

I appreciate that the laws of actual physics can take a back seat when it comes to Space Fantasy but the important thing for any film or story is that they are consistent with their *own* laws of physics.

It’s a massive smash here in Australia. The fact that they’re being held in roughly the same time-zone, it’s Winter here and everyone’s currently locked-down because our Government are fucking useless when it comes to distributing vaccines, probably helps.  

I hadn’t seen this post when I made my Sideshow Bob comparison further up the thread but its nice to know I’m not the only one who was reminded of it.

Both versions also had vastly better Starbucks

With Hoth and Faux-Hoth they were almost halfway to a Margarita. Hopefully one of the Disney+ spin-offs will give us the Lime, Triple Sec and Tequila planets.

The problem is it just looked dumb. The Mary Poppins gags are well justified as that’s what it resembled.

Same goes for the snail’s pace bomber scene at the start of the film and the ‘Sideshow Bob fleeing in the Wright Brother’s Plane’ fleet chase throughout act 2.

Challenge accepted!

It was a nostalgia-heavy Cold War Spy Thriller set in the very last days of the aforementioned cold war. Given the next 12 years were going to be pretty dead as far as storytelling goes on the espionage front, I don’t think it was ever intended as a franchise starter. 

Whaling is a touchy subject when you’re discussing the Japanese

If I had the movie-making skills (and budget) when I was 15 years old, Atomic Blonde is exactly the movie I would have made. It’s absolutely glorious! 

Those idiots kept you employed and gave you stories to regale in bars. Show some gratitude!

Trivia fact for the day. Demi Moore was actually born in Roswell, New Mexico.

Say what?
Goddamn it. I thought Gunn was one of the good guys?

It’s also pretty obvious the naming convention is taken from albums and mixtapes which is a fairly important part of the films. They’re pretty much digging around down the back of the couch trying to find the snark.

Dog turds taste quite distinctive and that movie definitely tasted like dog turd! 

What the hell? Why am I shirtless?

Nope. Both movies are steaming dog turds. Rian Johnson needs shooting for the utterly ridiculous snails-pace bomber mission on the star destroyer and the equally slow-motion bonkers fleet chase (and resulting hyperspace kamikaze sequence). All I could think of in that sequence was Sideshow Bob escaping on the Wright…

Yeah but the internet wasn’t invented until 2004 whereas Star Wars happened a long time ago...
