Interesting. This is only my gut level instinct, based on what I’ve read, but that L&M were kind of being “mischievous” with the direction of the movie. In that, they were telling Disney one thing and secretly doing something else. And when a Disney higher up finally saw the first rough cut...it wasn’t what they were…

I’m guessing it was the tone that did them in. And yes, it’s absolutely 100% the fault of someone (I’ll say Kathleen Kennedy but we’ll never know) to let it go as long as it did. I don’t think SW/Disney was ready for a funny- first Star Wars movie which, again I’m guessing, based on L&M’s track record, is the way it…

Star Wars doesn’t have a problem. It is what it is. It’s about the force, Luke Skywalker, light sabers and the world that Lucas created. The people who want Star Wars to not be Star Wars anymore are the people with the problem.

Count me as one who loved Solo. Yes, it could’ve been better had it had a singular vision but it was still really fun. It’s not Lord and Miller’s fault per say but if Disney wanted Solo to turn out the way it did, they should’ve never hired L&M. That’s not their style. I’m sure it was much more jokey and Kathleen…

I think scientists will agree that this isn’t the real Meg either.

Thank you for making me feel old!

Dammit

C’mon now.

I was surprised by how much I didn’t like Licorice Pizza being that PTA is one of my faves. But Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman were great. I don’t know if Haim’s performance was Best Actress-worthy but for her first film, wow. And I don’t like Haim-The Band either.

I do not like shows set in this timeframe/era. I find them insufferable.

I’m available

You had me until “trusting people”!

As a homeowner...this seems like a bad idea. And yet, if it’s your only chance to own a home, who am I to say? The three biggest problems I see are 1) What happens when someone wants out? 2) What happens when someone wants out? 3) What happens when someone wants out?

But who will play Mini-Me?

My 13 year old son loves Dr. Evil fwiw. Probably because his father is a Gen Xer who has a certain love for all things Mike Myers...

I couldn’t wait. And now I’m back and...you’d probably think I hate it but I don’t. I missed it. I’m much more productive outside of my home environment. Home is home and work is work. I like the separation.

Mos Def is anxiously waiting for his phone to ring...

ATONE, PIOUS and ADIEU were my go-to start words but they rarely have helped me. Lately, I’ve just been going freestyle with my first word and I probably don’t do that much better or worse honestly.

I can’t say “Oppenheimer” without a terrible German, Sergeant Schultz accent. I even thought it as I typed it.

It might be loud but you won’t be able to discern 25% of the dialogue.
