As much as I got a morbid kick out of watching it, yeah.
I am kind of unsettled by how much of the base is fine with Joe Exotic (and Doc Antle while I’m at it...the two of them are both pretty skeevy.)

Don’t forget the fun of when the comments load, but they’re broken as Hell, requiring ANOTHER refresh!

Any good that might have come from that was immediately cancelled out by the fact it was bankrolled by Peter Thiel to satisfy his personal vendetta against the site.

Gawker weren’t saints by any stretch, but that takedown was dirty as fuck.

Additionally, I’m concerned how a dramatized version might wind up whitewashing some of this.

I mean, the people behind the doc already admitted to downplaying some of Joe’s more...questionable aspects just getting us to this point, and frankly, even with the doc making him out to be a genuinely fucked up person with a…

Thing is, the way you worded it, quality wasn’t a factor, simply whether something was canon or not (and if you want to look at it as quality, consider the case of the formerly reviled Halloween III: Season of the Witch, the movie that for years was scorned simply for being ‘the one without Michael’ despite it now…

On the one hand, I do genuinely like this read on things just in terms of how people have built on it and have found some catharsis from it.
On the other, given the general level of writing from Lucas, I can’t help but feel like this is giving a bit too much credit and speaks more for the death of the author read on…

So far I have yet to be steered particularly wrong by any of their recommends (and even some of their didn’t quite recommend, but still had some good to say for, such as Eureka)
Some others I thank them for getting to me to check out - Used Cars, Mephisto, Burden of Dreams, The Long Good Friday, Amadeus, The Killing…

His debut in the Holiday Special doesn’t really do much for his mystique.
It’s basically

If you send in the UPCs, you get the two-pack with his hand stuck in Shirley MacLaine’s top.

Their discussion on RotJ remains one of my favorites to recommend to people because they’re looking at it both in the past and present. It’s a welcome clear reminder that, despite the attitude now, RotJ wasn’t always warmly welcomed and that SW is a series where its flaws are often glossed over with time as people…

See, that’s part of why I wasn’t THAT mad at Starkiller. I rolled my eyes a little, sure, but it was more of “Eh, not like it’s the first time.”

Of course, that was also further fueled by memories of the Legends EU, where similar superweapons were almost annoyingly common (Darksaber, World Devastators, the Sun…

See, I don’t know if it was ever meant to be read THAT far, unless there’s some supplemental material that draws a more distinct line there.

That said, even the most benign read of that still isn’t great. Especially on the heels of what happened to the ill-fated dancing girl Oola before her (quite literally killed…

Welp...I guess this finally means I have no excuse for putting off Barry.

Also, I realized it wouldn’t be, but I still held out hope Mr. Show would be on here so I could badger more people into watching it.

Ah well...one step at time.

I can’t think of anyone who has rejected a non-canon story.

Some of this may be retroactive damage control after the fact, but you’re right that there was still some effort made to tie in supplemental material to the movies (two big examples coming to mind: 1) the character of Aurra Sing being hyped up as a big new character in The Phantom Menace that amounted to...a 2-second…

I have some degree of liking/sympathy for Saff and the producer, but I do get what you mean. As weirdly entertaining as the whole thing is in macro, a lot of the people featured are just...really horrible.

I mean, Carole’s no saint here, but given the evidence presented, I’d have an easier time believing Doc and Joe…

Re: Hardy as the Feral Child - an interesting idea, but memory serves, doesn’t the narration kind of suggest he stuck with the Great Northern Tribe, eventually becoming their leader after the Gyro Captain?

Been a few years since I last watched TRW, so I may be remembering wrong.

Funny enough re: DC comics - that universe is actually one of my first go-to examples for why sometimes breaking canon’s a good thing.

Cause if people didn’t occasionally decide to break from the canon, we’d still have Lex Luthor running around in leotards being evil for evil’s sake and Sinestro’s entire driving…

To this day, the best approach I’ve seen to this matter goes to how Shoji Kawamori has handled some of the looser continuity aspects of the Macross franchise.

Starting back in ‘84 when people started asking about continuity discrepancies in the movie Do You Remember Love? his go-to description has been to treat each…

There’s one big difference here, and it’s one that will likely diminish with time, but for the moment I’d say applies -

Comparatively speaking, the MCU is still a pretty young franchise. It hasn’t built up the cultural cache that SW has where people spent years building it up to be more than just a collection of…
