Hey! I resemble that remark! 

It’s sad that the standard in Hollywood is such that I look at this and just go “well at least no one got SEXUALLY assaulted” and breathe a sigh of relief.

Podracing. Looked cool, made the best game, made a young me watching a young Anakin do it think “Fuck yeah I could do that too”. If I lived in the SW universe and couldn’t use the Force, I would go all in on on piloting a starship or professional podracing.

I mean, it was, but if you’re gonna actually have him wield a lightsaber, he’s gotta be effective at more than just chopping at peoples’ knees.

I don’t know, I totally buy that, especially if you’re told it’s the only way to save her. I mean, it requires him to believe his visions are 100% right (which they ironically are) but frankly if I were living in the SW world and saw all the wild shit the Force can do, I would be very susceptible to believing that the…

One thing that I appreciate about the prequels is how George Lucas deepened R2-D2’s character by giving him rocket boosters in Attack Of The Clones.

I feel bad for laughing but goddammit take the star.

Welp, that (almost assuredly) wraps that up.

I think Filoni maybe gets a little too much praise these days but I will always appreciate him fleshing out the clone troopers. In the prequels, so little time is spent with them they feel almost as robotic as the actual robots they’re fighting. By doing things like giving them names, having some have genuine…

As someone who reads comic books, I will say that a messy canon sure as hell keeps fans engaged.

Yeah, like, I agree that Anakin needed a father figure, and Qui-Gon definitely could’ve been that/would’ve been that if he hadn’t died, but well, he did die. I will throw Filoni (and George Lucas I guess) a bone and say that I’m sure any kid would imprint hard on a dude who got him out of being a slave, but the fact…

I know that’s just his the style of his shirt but that pic makes it look like Filoni just walked in after being stranded in the desert and sweating through it.

I reads like the reviewer thinks it’s bad but so much of the pedigree and big ideas make him think “well I must be the problem, it can’t be bad”

Definitely agree. I don't know why he's chosen this hill to die on but I'm praying he reverses course soon

At the very least, at a festival like that the actors/filmmakers are actually there to receive the applause.

Wait, there was one about that too?

I mean they may know it existed and crashed and burned, but presumably not everybody knows everything behind the scenes.

Liam Neeson had almost managed to get people to forget about that time he talked about walking down the street trying to beat up black guys with a baseball bat. Don’t drag yourself into the negative spotlight for Kevin Spacey of all people, my dude!

Unfortunately, Reynolds has crafted a career around self-aware snark, enacting a vernacular that replaces connection with quippy observations. It’s a tone that clings to the actor like a second skin, infecting his delivery and upending his conversations

I think the difference with musicals is a musical is not a genre unto itself, strictly speaking. For instance, you can have a regular comedy, or a musical that is a comedy like The Producers. You can have musicals based on all sorts of genres, but there’s no such thing as just a musical. So you can market Wicked as…
