To be fair, it seems to be mainly Star Wars. There have been at least a half-dozen or more disappointing Star Trek movies (conservative estimate), several less-than-great X-Men movies, and a shitload of terrible Bond movies, but I don’t remember any death threats in the aftermath of those films. Almost all of the…

But it’s not the same.  JJ Abrams kept the spirit alive and clearly set up plot threads for an overarching story.  Then Rian Johnson came along and said, “Fuck all that.”  And we got The Last Jedi.  

I was thinking about this a lot recently in the fallout of The Last Jedi. Aside from the dump truck of money they drive up to your door, why would anyone want to direct a Star Wars movie?

This is not correct, in any way. Assuming you ignore DS3, Manus is the most likely candidate for the Pygmy. If you involve DS3, then there are 8 Pygmy Kings and furtive Pygmy refers to the entire race.

Saw it tonight.

I’m starting to wonder if there is something about playing Catwoman that causes a woman to just stay dead sexy. 

From a lore perspective, Bed is whatever remains of the Witch of Izalith, a powerful figure in the Dark Souls universe, and the two orbs are her daughters who have been converted into power sources for the Bed.

My favorite aspect of this and the first one is the depiction of a so-called non-traditional family arrangement that is normal, cordial, and friendly. As an only child of long-divorced parents, I appreciate seeing that treated as completely normal and not overwrought with melodrama.

“Are you guys just putting ‘quantum’ in front of everything?”

Also, Pym and Van Dyne had their helmets off at quantum level, to quote Galaxy Quest: “Is there air? You don’t know!”

I’m still trying to figure out if the ant had a name. And where was Cassie’s ant? The one that for lack of a movie name I am calling Rocky.

Also, there’s an incomprehensibly large number of variables you can’t account for when shrinking down to quantum size. Also, Pym and Van Dyne had their helmets off at quantum level, to quote Galaxy Quest: “Is there air? You don’t know!”

Also, a paradox, if you keep shrinking until you reach the very smallest of all the…

its pretty clear all the cars have been modified for shrinking, being sealed airtight and such so im sure the engines themselves have been modified too.

I never quite understand how the miniaturization works. Like, Pym’s got a Hot Wheels carrier full of small cars. But you can’t, like, toss a bunch of real cars around like that.  There’s fluids, engine components, all kinds of things that will get flooded/destroyed.  Also the building, don’t get me started on all…

I just assumed it was other clients with large bottomless pockets. Could have been a splinter faction of Hydra, could be some remnant of A.I.M. Or could have just been someone Burch owed a debt to and he figured this was a golden ticket out of that.

Could be worse; the ant could have been Snapped.

Yea same here. And honestly, the end credits scene was just as sad and dark for me. While the world effectively ended for half of everyone, they have a mind-programmed Scott-Ant proxy still living out Scott’s life. How bleak is that. Don’t know if that was supposed to be funny or levity, but it didn’t work for me.

The mid credits scene was cool and all but it was bittersweet also. I liked that it was there but part of me is still suffering from Infinity War PTSD and didn’t need that negativity to end this great film on.

I would have liked to see James “Jimmy” Woo kick some ass, or reference his past as a SHIELD agent, which is how I assume he got into Melinda May’s phone contacts.
