Marginalizing Daisy Ridley is totally on brand for Disney.

I’m guessing he is referring to the original Doctor Who pilot, which was not aired in 1963 because it was reshot. But I’m not sure.

An absolute legend who lived a long and incredible life. I was delighted that he got to make that cameo in 2022. 

I wish I could point to the exact line in whatever novel it probably came from, but I only have a hazy recollection of it being spelled out somewhere that no, they weren’t kidnapped. They were taken with their parents’ permission. And if the parents said, “No, you can’t take away our precious child,” the Jedi would…

Did the Jedi really take them if the parents said no? That...doesn’t sound right but I don’t read the expanded universe stuff.

“Kidnapping” is a provocative way to look at it and used in bad faith really.

When the prequels were coming out the line between good and evil was clear and unquestioned. Becoming a Jedi was how you made a better life for yourself. They didnt kidnap Anakin, they freed him. There wasnt some nefarious hidden agenda. The…

I do remember that! Which is probably why the article (and the interview it’s skimming content from) also goes over it.

On the other hand, the Jedi are the most recognizable part of the series, and they’ve really tapped out the “War” parts of it. There are movies about the Clone Wars, movies about the Galactic Civil War, and movies where the Galactic Civil War starts over again. And there are series filling the gaps between the movies…

And Andor!

Bad Batch is a good remedy to that feeling, hardly any Force stuff going on at all in that series.

He also confirms that he does get Tom Cruise’s famous Christmas coconut cake. “It’s so good. It makes me believe in a lot of things.”

This is one of the better Criterion Closet shorts on its own, and it’s also really illustrative of part of the family business side of nepo babies when it’s done right.

I thought Once Upon a Time in Hollywood purposefully cast a bunch of nepo babies for the Manson family? Kevin Smith’s daughter, Andie Macdowell’s daughter... thought there were others too?

My two cents, feel free to debate: I feel like the relatively tepid critical reception (I do not care about box office) of Pixar’s last several years’ worth of original films (as opposed to sequels) is because their blend of whimsy and deep emotion (with stellar writing, plotting, and casting) was pretty amazing for a…

...hmmm if only there was something currently happening within the Justice Department that was pertinent to the question posed by this article.

That’s...that’s because a lot of claymation (especially some of the stuff Burton uses) looks like bad CGI. This isn’t that Nike guy’s son funding those beautiful stop motion movies, this is replicating the stuff that was used back in OG Beetlejuice’s time.

It’s literally all stop motion. They did this movie exactly as they did the first one.

She’s a TEENAGER and her mother is right there, telling her NOT to say the name. Of course she has to say the name. 

It helps that while she’s beautiful, she’s not Hollywood Bombshell unattainable level of beautiful. You can buy an awkward girl growing up to be Gillan, recognizing the world finds you attractive without losing that bit of uncertainty.  Actually makes her perfect for Nebula.

Agreed. I think this:
