That best animated win...seeing Studio Laika throw down against three different Dsiney films and a Dreamworks movie and win.
It sustains me.

To be honest, there’s already some of that kind of in there (you just know had the First Order not been formed, Hux would have been all over the SW version of YouTube.)

If anything, I kind of thought that was a big part of where they were going with emphasizing how overall young most of the rank and file were compared…

“How the fuck is she able to get past that?”

Same way her teacher saw the good in his kid-killing, wife-strangling, daughter-torturing dad.

Forgiveness in the Star Wars universe is fucking BONKERS. 

No need for food. Once enough drop dead, Palpatine just calls up the Tall Man and puts in another order for hooded henchmen.

The execution’s bullshit, but I wouldn’t say Hux’s heel turn itself is. His being pissy towards Kylo Ren has been established since TFA, and he definitely gives the impression of being pissy and petty enough to have that ‘I value seeing him lose more’ kind of a grudge.

The problem is, it’s such an afterthought because…

I’d agree on the story in broad strokes.
Very broad strokes.
But in terms of the actual plotting and layout, I’m sorry -The Phantom Menace, as a story, shouldn’t be there. Not in a ‘it’s awful and can’t be redeemed’ way, more the fact that it’s a huge digression that doesn’t really service the larger story the trilogy…

All I remember of Darksaber is it’s one of two books I go to that help highlight one of the biggest differences between the old EU and the new continuity - the old EU’s imbuing of the original cast with relative invincibility.

For years, the novels treated anyone from the movies as prettymuch indestructible. The death…

A nod to Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers in Star Wars?

Now THAT’S one I wouldn’t see coming.

Also nominating for that list - the nigh-unplayable Flight of the Falcon for the GBA.

and that Japanese version sounds like the NES Predator game, which is mostly a just a dime store Contra with an inexplicable final boss that’s just...a giant disembodied Predator head.

I feel like it doesn’t so much have a word as the dictionary just shows the picture of the Man From the Other Place in Twin Peaks rubbing his hands together and leering.

“maybe being told that I deserve to die because of my sex and skin colour isn’t the right fit.”
...did we watch the same movie? Cause you seem to be doing some HEAVY additional reading here.

It’s not even like this is a subtle movie. It wears what its saying on its sleeve (or for better or worse) and pretty overtly so -…

Now, now, let’s make sure we’re completely above board with this.
He didn’t JUST commit adultery with her - he eventually left his terminally ill wife while she was dying of cancer for her.

Truly, a love story for the ages.

Multiplicity - The Musical?

Seeing as some of the best things to come out of that first trailer were people recutting it to horror film scores, that tracks.

“but it’s safe to say the writer’s reportedly squid-less vision has been lost forever to time.” — I’ll have to check if I’ve still got it somewhere, but unless there was a doctored version, a draft was floating the web at one point.

Assuming said draft was legit and this is the same version, it ended with Dreiburg…

“The Little Caesar will die before these eyes and then he’ll know—HE’LL KNOW!—that is I - Papa John Schnatter - who encompasses his doom!”

Well, you’re partway there with that salary cut comment.

Those evil people last longer because they can afford to have people keep them going more.

...and I’m still a semi-truther that Trump has had some heart surgery on the sly that he keeps covered up so as not to appear ‘weak.’

Would need to actually check back as far as if the name was said in the movie, given there was another Rodian kid.

The almost I’m referring to is a scene that was in the script, and possibly in the novelization that didn’t make it into the film - after the race, Qui-Gon sees Anakin getting into a fight with a Rodian…

Years later, this is one of two ‘...holy shit, that almost happened’ moments I remember from reading that script.
The other being the longer version of the visit to Gunga City where Boss Nass explains that JarJar’s punishment for returning from banishment was to be ‘pounded unto death.’

Whether he felt that was too much…

Oh, and yeah, although I remember it clearly, I can’t believe there was a time when right-wing conspiracists weren’t instantly suspected of editing their ‘gotcha!’ videos.
