And yet that CGI Jeff Garlin still comes off as more realistic than McLendon-Covey’s portrayal of a Jewish mother.

The wet dream of the Witcher writer’s room.

Yeah, seems like Cavill was dead set on making a show that adapts the Witcher novels to the screen, while the writers were just trying to piggyback off the popularity of the games in order to adapt their rejected “Dark Fantasy” screenplays.

I can forgive a good bit about Man of Steel, but that really was the worst take on Jonathan Kent ever.

“This sets up any number of scenarios for a third movie, none of which have to be a shitty Xerox of Return of the Jedi.”

Tubi has all of Lucio Fulci’s flicks, some of them in great transfers. It’s like an interdimensional mom n’ pop video store from 1989.

The first movie of the new trilogy, I can forgive its almost carbon copy of EpIV in terms of overall idea, because I think it was made to bank quite a bit on nostalgia, and the fact it’s been a very long time since the last SW movies before that. It was great to see SW back on screen back then, even if it wasn’t…

Yeah, that was my biggest problem with TLJ. It didn’t subvert expectations for any reason other than subverting them. Luke throws away the lightsaber! Snoke doesn’t matter at all! Rey’s parents were nobodies!

But, the hill I will die on time and time again, the character assassination of Luke was just completely out…

It’s the never ending trough for you guys. Nothing to write about? TLJ to the rescue. Ad revenue galore.

I will never understand how they didn’t have some sort of outline for the trilogy charted out at all.

And yet almost nobody talks about Rise of Skywalker. TLJ tried something. TRoS gave us cool scene vignettes (well, some at least) with no cohesion.

The problem was a lack of clear direction and a planned overall arc for the three movies. That exacerbates the issues with each one of them.

Compared to Rise of Skywalker, The Last Jedi was Citizen Fucking Kane.

Paving the way for the Section 8 team-up movie? Because Luiz Guzman was born to play Bueno Excellente.

I knew that movie was going to be trouble when it failed to start with a crane shot of the Man in Black running across the desert and booming down to reveal Roland stepping into frame to follow him.

I like it.

The True part : the script that Jenkins & John for Wonder Woman 3 was rejected.

This is my fault, guys. I wished for Wonder Woman 3 on the magic wishing stone and the wish is going wrong in annoying ways.

DO: Strip away the more esoteric links to King’s work (i.e., no Patrick), strip away King as a character, focus on the Ka-Tet and the mechanics of the world having moved on.

I’m not familiar with ‘70s Superman, but unless it was very divergent form the Superman norm, I feel like you might be a voice in the wilderness in saying Reeves “didn’t get it”, because it really felt very profoundly like it he did, and all the Superman I am familiar with (from earlier and later) confirms that.
