Ah ok fair point...gotta love the blue PJs!  Anyhow I think you’re underestimating the sheer coolness of boomerang...bah who am I kidding that silver age shit was silly as hell right?

You Only Live... Nice.

You’re not alone. It got SUCH hype I went into it expecting to be at least entertained. I was mostly annoyed.

Fett was bad, but at least it didn’t actively damage the canon. Kenobi, on the other hand, did exactly that and was awful, to boot. Making Leia and Vader main characters was ill-judged enough, and then the finale doubled down by building a climax around Luke, too. And who could forget Reva, the most spectacularly…

I liked that movie, too, with the same caveat. It was about a million times better than Avatar.

Yeah, haters. If a sequel retroactively gives the first movie slightly more depth 13 years later, then all of your accurate criticisms of the original were just short-term thinking. You morons. You absolute dumb bastards.

Have you actually READ the John Carter novels? They’re nothing like Avatar. Like, at all.

The Goggins!  He does nothing!!

I’m old, so I actually read the covers off of the John Carter books as a kid. Avatar didn’t resemble them in the slightest. In fact, a straight up adaptation, cultural issues and all would have been far better than what we got.

I see you pointedly ignored the Supreme Court, which you would have to in order to even try to make such a stupid overall point.

Some people forget that Neil Breen and Tommy Wiseau and James Nguyen are also “auteurs”.

“What’s the deal with airline food? Why don’t they make that out of the black box?”

The critical aspect is that those weird old customs must be pagan-like rituals. If the customs are tied to Christianity, it’s gothic horror (e.g., “Children of the Corn”).

It depends on the region, but broadly it involves rural communities that keep up pagan-like practices (e.g., nature worship, ritual sacrifices, etc.).

Huh....I know that video will give a lot of depth to what you’ve written here, but yeah that’s a pretty great sum up. I’d add The Witch to the category, though, and it doesn’t quite fit that definition.

I didn’t mean morally, I meant politically. They realized none of them were going to get re-elected by locking up the cousins of their constituents.

I call bullshit.

I think it is very much the latter. I think Bill’s Superman monologue is a really interesting demonstration of how fundamentally misguided he is. It goes along well with his inability to understand Beatrix.

I still hold that Bill’s monologue fundamentally misunderstands the nature of Superman.

(that said I’d totally watch a Tarantino-directed version of Superman based on that premise. Someone make that happen).

He sadly passed away earlier this year so the spot was left vacant.
