TLJ haters don’t understand the movie. They wanted to see Luke Skywalker, galactic bad ass, restarting the Jedi order like it was and then everything would be awesome.

I think the misdirect works in the context of Luke being at his lowest point and believing himself to be The Last Jedi and Yoda reminding him that the tradition will live on.

The joke was Good.

So you’re saying that there a lot of movies better than Ezra?

I tend to be skeptical of the “focus on telling good stories” argument. Telling Hollywood it’ll make more money if it makes better movies is a little like telling a baseball team it’ll win more games if it hits more homeruns — both true and not really a meaningful suggestion. If Hollywood could flip a switch and make…

I rather enjoyed Chris Hemsworth as Odie, though.

“Oh what a day, what a lovely Monday!”

A movie being bad is rarely a correlation to it not making money. If might be bad, but that doesn’t always impact opening weekend especially of a family/kids movie. The family box office has taken the biggest hits and AV Club et all has spent two years trying to pretend otherwise.

The Tom Hardy re-casting doesn’t seem like something you need to account for, to the extent you really need to account for anything in this exercise. It’s a casting decision that exists outside the narrative — it has nothing to do with the timeline or overall arc of the movies. Mel Gibson was too old and...let’s say…

Anya Taylor-Joy was miscast as Garfield.

Garfuriosa isn’t exciting enough for you?

“Garbage in, garbage out” remains a reliable principle.

AI is just that guy on reddit arguing with you on a subject he knows fuck-all about but he's frantically googling for points that support his own argument. 

But it doesn’t tell us anything from the interview.  This article has no point of view or comment on the interview at all.  It is an incoherent rehash of the interview with no connectivity from one “point” to the next.

THE A.I. WILL NOT BE QUESTIONED

There’s no story here.

If I were ridiculously wealthy, I’d hire Maurice LaMarche to narrate my living will. I’ve always wanted my will to contain a story about probate, beneficiaries, and goblins.

...sensibly priced at a dollar a jug. 

“Oooooh, yew or-most ‘ad me!”
