Honorable mention: this guy

imo a franchise’s canon should be messy and inconsistent. Art/media means different things to different people, and Star Wars especially has a bunch of influences, ideas, and themes with no one really comprising what “makes” Star Wars. Placing that under the purview of one person who’ll then decide what Star Wars “is”…

You know that old joke where Bono slow claps his hands at a gig and says “every time I clap my hands, a child dies of starvation”, and some wag in the audience says “stop clapping, you fucker”?

‘”Ngl, my heart skipped a beat when I read, “Chris Hemsworth finally comes out...” “’

He’s Australian. We have pretty good bullshit-o-meters for this sort of thing.

I can’t remember a time in my life before the clapping!!! My hands hurt! Please let us stop! 

Nat’s a pro, she’ll let them throw bleach in her eyes. 

I’ll basically watch anything I find Natasha Lyonne in, so I consider this positive news for a movie I really hope gets everything right.

I have wondered if they might not hire someone actually blind for that role.

Brassy redhead acerbic enough to date a guy made of rocks? Yeah, Natasha tracks. 

Ooh. Miller could sweep in and retain just enough of what worked from Taiki’s films and go bonkers with it. Yes.

It sounds like he was originally supposed to direct the pilot but backed away to focus on his movies.

I would love to see a George Miller Thor (or Ghost Rider?) movie. I remember him being tapped to do a Justice league movie eons ago and after seeing Fury Road and hearing about this, I can only imagine what he would have done with DC’s heroes. 

The Steve Carell voiced character in IF is literally named “Blue”.

First review I’ve read for IF and, woof, that’s disappointing. :(

IF is an original, big-budget Hollywood release

Sounds like another horribly misguided and botched remake. 

This is, by far, the most honest review of the movie I’ve seen, even if it isn’t kind.  Even the kind reviews have not been good.

Yeah, the allegations that he’s choosing to use an old school/analogue way of making a film rather than a quicker digital shortcut...is that supposed to upset me?

With regards the kissing - if people say it was inappropriate, I’ll believe them.
