Very well said. And also hilariously savage. Top marks!

Fair point! Btw I watched Luce last week and you are spot on about Kelvin Harrison Jr. An incredible performance.

John Boyega would be the actual SW alum that RJ owes a starring heroic role too. 

Oh the Irregulars mentions racism alright. There's a scene where one of the kids chastises another kid for not liking rich people and literally says "it's like you're racist against rich people". Fucking vile on a number of levels.

Its quite simple really. Emo can’t be and ska doesn’t need to be rehabilitated.

Yeah that line was so good. I’d had a guess he was a bad guy but that confirmed it with such power lol. Genocides an entire planet for invading his turf. Wow.

Yeah. I’m always very wary of any claims about a TV show or a movie moving anyone’s political or ideological beliefs. Especially when the people who make that claim are (knowingly or not) saying “oh but not me I’m far too savvy for that”

Never sure what that means from an account called Sarcastro lol 

Ford is too old. I hate to say it but it's true. He was too old on Crystal Skull too, he runs like my grandad now. Just recast (largely impossible I'd say no one can replace Ford with a possible Chris Pine being the exception. Or simply cast John Cho as a grown up Short-Round stealing artifacts from shadowy rich…

The fact it’s called Game of Thrones always seemed to allude to the fact that while there’s all these people playing around with kings and succession and shit the actual threat isn’t a game it’s existential and human greed etc means it isn't being dealt with.

Yeah 33 is goddamn fantastic and the show manages to keep that feeling of desperation and only just surviving for most of its run too.
