For example, the tanker truck chase.

Which did you end up watching?

From Russia With Love if you want to watch a great movie.

Goldfinger or Thunderball if you want something a little lighter and more fun.

License to Kill if you are in the mood for a parody.

You asked what Disney sees in him. They see a man who makes movies people want to see. If you can’t understand how this translates to Disney wanting to hire him to make movies, I don’t know what else to say.

I really want to know what it was that LucasFilm saw in Rian Johnson that made them believe he could do this. He has good story ideas, sometimes(they’re kind of hit or miss). But I find his execution style to be all wrong. He’ll come up with an amazing idea, but then play it off a certain way in the film that destroys it. He’s not a great story teller that respects mythology and cultural impact. He’s more of a conventional film maker, with quirks. That’s not enough really to helm a Star Wars trilogy.

Have you even looked at the TLJ box office numbers? Just because you’re didn’t like the movie doesn’t mean his work has no appeal for others.

How about a new Bond movie already?

Interesting find! Padme never returns to Naboo alive in in Episode III, so what could this scene be? Was Padme’s death originally going to be a hoax to help protect Luke and Leia? Maybe someone should ask Natalie Portman about it.

The original ending of ROTS was shot on location during production of Episode II. It was replaced by a green screen shoot during Episode III proper.

GL: “the original ending looks too real compared to the rest of the movie. Let’s reshoot it and make the background a fucking cartoon.”

You’d think he would have shot the baby Luke handoff both ways (Owen and Beru) just to be on the safe side. Hopefully, we get to see this footage someday.

Oh! I didn’t even notice!

I just feel bad for the original baby who lost his moment of fame.

The first time I read someone refer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as “AOC,” I thought, “what does this have to do with Attack of the Clones?”

My sarcasm was lost, apparently.

No, I understood you, I was just stating that I really hate green screens.

I know they won’t film in Tunisia, it costs too much.

Not lost on you. That other guy.

My sarcasm was lost, apparently.

Wouldn’t this be easier?

For about 20 minutes until we see him slithering around Han’s ship anyway 😛

The video even had roast in the title…

The closing line is a classic.

In Cold Blood

The ending… holy shit.

Principal photography has wrapped.

Ralph Breaks the Internet is the biggest dissapointment in film since the Phantom Menace

How high were your expectations, exactly?

That is an article of literally zero substance. “They talked about Lowry restoring Mickey, so we presume that 4K versions of the SE exist.” Whatever.

It’s highly unlikely that 4K scans of Star Wars do not exist. And the existence of a Lowry scan of the SE says nothing about other restoration efforts that may or may not have happened.

Move along.

I would gladly give up cardboard slip cases if it meant no more eco cases.

While we’re talkin’ lightsabers, the only thing that bothers me is that they always make the bad guy have a red one. And only the bad guys have red ones. That’s dumb.
Of course, that’s coincidental in the OT, so it doesn’t effect my SW world.

JEDIT:

What’s the guy up front doing?? He’s about to be skewered mid-air!

And you could say it continues to work in the ST, because Rey inherited Luke’s, and Ren is A Vader wannabe.

On a related note, Star Wars is better when not everyone and his uncle has a lightsaber. That’s really the biggest problem with that scene in Clones.

Do I want to know how this thread could be NSFW?

I recently got into Criterion. Picked up a few titles during BN’s July sale and on Ebay last year. Does anyone here know whereabouts Criterion’s annual in-house sale usually falls? There’s a few title I want to add.

kind of fun, non-spoilery article about the puppeteer of BB-8.

Viva the Viva Elite Blu-Ray cases I just ordered to replace my crappy eco cases so my discs and art don’t get ruined when I move!
