If this tweet is real, why can’t you link to it? Why choose a jpg instead?

I also agree that Star Wars is about the Skywalkers, and not the setting. And there’s a little discussed reason that Disney has been forced to explore corners of the galaxy that are increasingly tangential to the Skywalkers — it’s not just the difficulty around recasting Luke/Han/Leia, it’s that the original trilogy

Case in point: remember how everyone used to insist that there were so many cool stories that could be told about Obi-Wan or Han or Boba Fett without Luke around to Skywalker the place up? Remember how those all worked out? Is anyone here really going to sincerely try and claim that Obi Wan Kenobi or Solo: A Star

except they took away the stalk in the latest S, X and 3. 

1. Do not get wet.

Except they explicitly say they didn’t even drive through even deep puddles. RTFA.

WTF? Their car failed to keep out basic weather, and Tesla are saying it isn’t covered under warranty? Fuck Tesla.

Possibly the weirdest, alright, one of the weirdest, things here is that... you can write screenplays about things that didn’t happen? Why does he need to make the lawsuit actually happen to write a fictionalised version of it? Tarantino didn’t actually need to put a gang of crooks together to carry out a diamond

So the actress meets this business manager 50+ years after making the movie. He introduces her to a therapist who convinces her she’s been traumatized (sounds a lot like the ones who convinced their kids their parents molested them), hires her a lawyer (who fabricates quotes from his client), tries to find connections

Marinozzi is currently trying to hire a new judge to retry the case in federal court.

Yeah, the umbrage at Reitman’s comment seems unfair.  It’d be one thing if there was some big, or even very vocal, contingent of GB fans who really liked the 2016 movie. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, unless they’re out there and I’m not seeing them.

GB:A wasn’t much better of a movie, but it certainly had the

Feel like this should read “Melissa McCarthy or even Kristen Wiig,” haha - McCarthy’s a much more accomplished actor than Wiig…and a much bigger office draw as well.

Did it end up on the screen? No, and that’s what’s relevant.

There would be fewer death threats for sure, but if that movie’s cast instead contained ones of the Chrises, Paul Rudd, Jack Black and Kevin Hart but kept the same scenes, story, and special effects, it would also still be absolute garbage.

Is there any reason that Leslie Jones would expect to make the same salary as Kristen Wiig or even Melissa McCarthy? A big part of anyone's salary for their new job is based on their past work and is there anything that she had done in the past that was as big of a hit as Bridesmaids?

I’ve seen the theatrical version, and I’ve seen the extended version. The cuts did not make an already bad movie worse. The extended version doesn’t add anything except running time.

There is no accepting these kind of hate, especially towards an individual. I can’t imagine what it feels like to receive that kind of messages, if I was a celebrity, first thing I would do is hire someone to manage my social media.

That being said, I disagree with her comment about Jason Reitman. It’s been 7 years,

Many of those scenes were already restored in I believe an extended cut released later in 2016.  You are correct its even more meandering inprov.

Based on the description of what was cut, I hope not. The last thing that film needed was more meandering, overlong improv scenes.

Honestly, I think the bigger problem is that we were in a forced transition to not needing to go to the theater to see new movies, actually began to embrace it, then had studios/directors backtrack to requiring people go to theaters again to avoid actually adapting their industry to something more sensible.
