The Book of Henry is the equivalent of eating a cake baked with salt instead of sugar, or listening to a Beatles song where the lyrics are in Esperanto—you understand the idea of what Trevorrow was going for, but the end result is an appalling, irradiated mess, a Frankenstein’s monster version of a feel-good classic. It might be quickly forgotten as a well-meaning flop, but The Book of Henry deserves to linger—it’s like an unsettling dream you can’t quite remember, a familiar story where all the pieces just seemed out of place.

The Book of Henry honestly sounds like one of the worst movie ever made.

But it’s not a Disney movie!

He means with the exception of The Force Awakens, obviously.

Nice

cheers mate 😃

Hopefully going to see them soon in concert in Manchester, where they are performing with The Selecter 😃 - http://www.thebeatofficial.com/tour/

Being from the other side of the pond, they’re known to me as the English Beat, due to some silly trademark scuffle.

Love Wha’ppen and Special Beat Service. I Just Can’t Stop It ain’t too shabby either.

4K restoration on Star Wars

The official site now has a 40th anniversary hub, but as expected not a single frame or still, that’s not a production photo or behind the scenes photo, looks even remotely like the theatrical release. There’s a section devoted to the Star Wars frames book (2013), all of which originate from the bluray master. As far as the official site is concerned the OT films exist in one form only, the final cuts. The theatrical versions are dead and burried.

The header photo on starwars.com is embarrassing–that frame is only 20 years old!

What was your impression of the prequels before they announced the PT?

screams in the void nails it, although I didn’t think there’d be armies of Mandalorians. I was sure that the Clone Wars were a war in which the Jedi fought against clones, as did everyone else (cf. Zahn’s Heir to the Empire trilogy).

Imagine how much more interesting it would have been if order 66 came in II and III was about the Jedi reorganizing and fighting the clones and Vader (and losing).

Vader is turned in II and suffers the catastrophic injury after re-enounterimg Ben in III.
