Believe it or not there’s actually a whole #NotmyLukeSkywalker faction out there that keeps harassing Rian Johnson for “what he did to Luke.” Never mind of course that Luke’s departure and the entire impetus for it were set up in the previous movie by J.J. Abrams and LAWRENCE FUCKING KASDAN.  Also never mind that…

Remember, Rian didn’t put Luke on that island. J.J. did.

If you’re going to roleplay as an evil Emperor, be ready for everyone else to roleplay as the rebellion.

Counterpoint on TFA: It was exactly what Star Wars needed at the time. In mirroring A New Hope in story structure, it presented a new hope for the franchise that was all but dead after the prequels. 

You know what’s depressing? A $155,000, 600 hp, carbon fiber super car that looks like...an S60 coupe. Because both of those thing would be great on their own! An S60 coupe that looks like the concept from a few years back? Yes, please!  A Polestar halo car?  Also, yes!  But both in one car?  Uhh......

Sure, but good ol’ judgement may be the only real pleasure left in our media wasteland of endless takes and nihilism masquerading as insight.

I’d say its looks are “interesting,” which coincidentally is about the best that can be said about mine.

Does a car that’s been dead for several years think...well...anything?

Honda actually said, “What’s a sports car? We haven’t built one in ten years.”

Finally going to finish Horizon Zero Dawn, I swear (YES I KNOW I’M WAY BEHIND I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD GIVE ME A BREAK).

Hey I want to know something! Where is this car supposed to fall in the market? It’s too cheap to be a ContiGT / DB-11 rivial and not sporty enough to be a 911 / AMG GT fighter either. Is it just an answer to the LC500? And what is it doing that the M6 isn’t? I like this thing, but I don’t get it what it’s…

Speaking of Ubisoft at E3, are you guys going to get a chance to check out that closed-door Beyond Good and Evil 2 demo?

Ok question for the class: If I want to play a fun RTS game on iOS that dispenses with a lot of the loot crate bullshit, what are my options? Warfare Incorporated was the best I’d found about five years ago. Is there anything newer that’s worth looking at?

It’s time for Monaco to go. Not only is it a relic of from a technical standpoint, it’s also a relic from a sociopolitical standpoint. In 2018, we don’t need to see a parade of rich people watching a parade of cars.

Same. They didn’t need to keep supporting it after they’d gotten their paycheck, but they are. Hell, if I’d gotten the same reaction from the community that they did, there’s no way I’d want to dedicate another second of my life to any of it.

This argument makes no sense. The plan was on a need-to-know basis because Holdo knew that if it leaked to the First Order, it could lead to the deaths of the remaining members of the resistance *which is exactly what happens.* Poe disobeying orders and leading a mutiny that gets everyone killed is 100% Poe’s fault.

They used this technique on bombers as well. Note that the inboard engine nacelles also have the matte green treatment.

This comment is so perfectly emblematic of why current action / adventure movies are non-stop visual assaults that I want to frame it and put it on my wall.

I can’t help thinking how much better the Battle of Scarif would have been had I actually cared about characters who were participating in it. But yeah, damn if Edwards can’t direct an action sequence.
