I’m still disappointed that a film called Chinatown set in 1974 has an all-white cast while the Asian actors like James Hong are relegated to Butler, Maid, and Gardener roles. As a result, Chinatown always gets lumped in with 1970s Kung Fu titles in pirated video stores here in Asia.

As the old saying goes, “A helicopter is a machine that happens to fly while fighting to tear itself apart.” But, in the incident you linked, pilot error may well have caused the crash. There has been a suggestion that in the current incident there was only one crew member. The Sikorsky S-76's specs are for two crew

Ive been told to never willingly take a helicopter ride, unless absolutely necessary. This advice has been confirmed time and time again. KOBE!

The point is “RoS was the absolute worst SW movie ever and it’s possible that we could have got something half-way decent if, ironically, we stuck with our choice of hiring a director with a terrible track record.”

Between how well he kicked off the MCU and what great work he did in universe with The Mandalorian, I’d love to have seen Jon Favreau’s take on the final trilogy. Solo, too.

The greatest failure by Disney was that they committed to the sequel trilogy with no overarching plot written by one writer/writers from the outset and hired directors with completely different tastes, styles, and willingness to kneel before Zod Disney leaving what can only be described as a mess as they panicked and

I’m so happy for Richard Stanley.  So much of what happened to him during the Moreau debacle was completely unfair, and a legitimate talent never got a chance to develop.  Here’s hoping he’ll get some more chances to work.

I thought he felt too old too. 

I still marvel at the fact that Eddie Redmayne managed to parlay a small collection of ticks, quirks, and affectations into a thriving film career and a motherfucking Oscar®. Seriously, is he actually good in anything?

May be the last time.  I don't know.

Very true.  Not sure why i got my hopes up lol.

I didn’t read anything except the grade to avoid spoilers, but wow a B- ???  That’s too bad.  I was hoping it was going to be good. 

And here I sit still not giving a shit about any of it. I think I’m the real hero here.

the difference between Jaws and Star Wars is that Jaws feels like a movie from 1975, but Star Wars doesn’t feel connected to it’s era at all. Jaws (and THX 1138) looks and feels like classic 70's movies (include The Graduate) but Star Wars look is oddly disconnected from the movies that directly proceeded it. Perhaps

Don’t worry Doom Patrol solidly re-establishes that meaning in the cultural vernacular.
