You’re so vain, you probably think this OSHA is about you ...

Yet here you are watching, then ranting and raving, about every single episode of both shows.

Which is fair and why I wouldn’t challenge anyone on their thoughts because I’m still trying to decipher some of the choices they made. I think Boba’s characterisation is probably the least egregious thing in fact, heh (motivation needed more work, but he’s fine, just deserved to star in his own show a bit more).

I was very confused that this was somehow not already a movie released in 2004.

He has a point.

J-Lo’s character in it is described as “north of 35,” which, I mean, yes, Lopez is in GREAT shape and makes a far more respectable fiftysomething than I make a fortysomething. But, uh, yeah, she’s “north” of 35, much in the way that she is also “south” of 70.

Hmmmm, maybe Bill Pullman is the American Hugh Grant?

Fair enough, I get a little snarky too and appreciate the candour.
But yeah, while I appreciated the diversion the series presented in spite of it’s (many) faults, it’s nothing I’m going to spend precious time sticking my neck out for, haha.

Yeah, this is the sort of movie that 10 or 15 years ago would be uninteresting to me because mid-budget, kind of predictable comedies with adults exist consistently enough that I can pick and choose. Now I’m just happy for a new movie where there’s no third credit CGI mess.

A reminder: Anaconda was released TWENTY FIVE years ago.

See when you say it that way, I can vibe with it. It just read a bit condescending otherwise, when at the end of the day we’re ultimately talking about a franchise born of inspiration from adventure serials and such, and I think we can do better than insinuate someone’s of simple intellect if they like something…

It’s the new 30s, you know. (At least I can hope it is.)

“And given that Owen Wilson is basically the American Hugh Grant...”

I’m not saying that silly fun things are only for children. That SW is only for children. That fantasy/adventure/scifi is only for children. But when it’s this bad, then, yeah. Adults should be at least slightly sophisticated enough to recognize the many ways in which this show is deeply subpar.

everyone looks great and i can suspend my disbelief enough but it is very funny that this is a movie about people in their 50s, including silverman.

No reason for Boba to assume it was the biker gang aside from some mild graffiti. It was basically the “I stole your crown, signed Eugene Krabs” note from the Spongebob movie. Fennec even pointed out how unlikely it would be for speed bikers to successfully wipe out a Tusken tribe. Fett had just led the Tuskens in a…

Sounds like we were in the same boat!

Who needs fundamental storytelling tools when you’ve got a franchise logo slapped on your product? People are gonna watch it regardless. Including me, mostly because I was stunned by how bad it was and needed to see it careening from one inept moment to the next.

I see I mistakenly credited the Tusken tribes’ murder to Bane instead of the Pyke Syndicate. I apologize for the screw-up. It was my blunder and I have been fired for it.
