“Jar Jar son of Jam Jar” really got to me, ngl. Really funny.

Lightsiders who retain their individuality are essentially bodhisattvas

I really like this.

I just watched The Fifth Element with my dad. It was fun. The inclusion of Greek elements feels a bit random since it’s only relevant for the last ten minutes or so yet they make it the title of the film. Ruby Rhod was a touch annoying, but I get what they were going for and respect it. He fills a role similar to Willie Scott in Temple of Doom, who I happen to be a big fan of. It just doesn’t quite land here. His voice is kinda annoying but at the same time it’s hard to fault when it’s the perfect complement for his bizarre grandiosity. The needless sexualization of Leeloo was actually not nearly as bad as I had feared it would be, being mostly contained to the skimpy outfit they gave her in her first few scenes. I loved Ian Holm as the priest. Gary Oldman’s villain Zorg was lots of fun too. Overall, it was a fun film and I recommend it for anyone looking for a good time and isn’t too prude about sexual content.

It wasn’t.

I couldn’t understand a word of Dooku’s hologram nor why it’s present in the first place. Can’t he just be watching?

Is that a challenge to revive it? 😏

I propose we abolish the numbers in thread titles. Just have them titled after the movies. That mitigates the issue of things being out of order.

There’s just more to talk about with Clones than there is with Jedi.

I don’t buy that.

Well if VI is already out there then fuck it, just do whatever. Force Awakens next?

Well yeah, obviously they would go there. I meant more is there interest.

I really want Sebastian Shaw to morph into Hayden Christensen - but not the same shot of Christensen that was used for the DVD/Blu-Ray release.

Heck - morph Alec into Ewan…Yoda can stay the same.

Why must Yoda stay the same? Yoda passed away before the Prequels were shot but they had a nice recast followed by a CGI reconstruction. Have him morph from puppet to CGI.

You could give him an arc about wanting to redeem himself in the eyes of his people, which he fulfills by the end. Have him lament his exile and try to apologize to Boss Nass.

Oh right, there’s another one already. I forgot cuz it didn’t stick around on the first page long.

Anyway, what about non-SW focus threads? Would those be viable?

I’d say AotC as well simply because it makes sense to go in numerical order.

If anything I’d give 3PO a golden arm in TFA. And fwiw his arm is golden in the shot of the crowd waving to the departing Millenium Falcon at the end of the movie.

So I just finished watching Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed with my dad (although predictably he slept through half of it). It was indeed substantially better than the first film but I also felt in a better mindset to watch it having carefully planned to willingly watch it tonight rather than stumbling into after a monotonous, tired day. It made for a nice wind-down after the skiing we did.

I’m gonna go with release order. RotLA and ToD are virtually tied for me. I probably don’t need to explain why RotLA is a masterpiece while ToD I love for being so damn bonkers. I also love how dark it gets. TLC feels comparitively very derivative of RotLA and I don’t enjoy it as much, but it is ultimately well executed. The tone is also too light with the constant comedy. KotCS I feel has a much stronger premise than TLC but weaker execution. I still think there’s a great movie in there, it just needed one more draft.

Does that mean Hux gets regular cocaine/spice injections into his butt?

Oh so it’s one of those threads now. Geez, I feel like I’m on Reddit.

So is it like Rise of Skywalker then where it’s just so dumb you can’t look away?

It’s definitely been attempted but Idk if any attempt was ever finished.

You’re onto something with the search feature, though. We should really have a database of all edited material to draw from.

If he was in the Empire I feel like we would have heard of him by now if he had any real power or relevance. I think Hux himself really was that figure.

My dad was aimlessly wandering Netflix and clicked on Scooby-Doo (2002) out of curiosity to have a look. Guess what we spent the next hour and a half watching. In his words “That’s an hour and a half I’ll never get back.” While the aggressively Y2K visuals and soundtrack are amusing, the screenplay is not, so the film is not really worth your time. To paraphrase the film’s writer James Gunn “It was satisfying financially, not artistically.” The worst part is now I feel obligated to watch the sequel.

It happened today. Rest in peace Cléopatte.

I always assumed blaster bolts were magnetically attracted to lightsaber blades even as a kid as it’s the only sensible explanation for Jedi being able to block them so reliably.

My cat is dying. She’s probably gonna get euthanized later this week. She barely moves or eats anymore, just sleeps all day. This has me so fucking depressed. I’ve spent nearly every day of my life with her for the past ten years or so.

Well played, well played.
