They laugh hysterically when sex slaves are fed to the Rancor.
How do you know they’re the same pigmen Luke choked? Let’s not generalize or assume.
Who said the pigmen were evil?
What about when he killed the Rancor and made its poor handler cry? That’s pretty dark.
No no no. The rancor fell asleep and used that door as a blanket.
The handler was so relived that the thing was finally getting some Z’s that it brought tears of joy.
What about when he blew up the sail barge and everyone on it?
It’s an incredibly annoying movie to watch over and over again.
I’m at this point where I consistently fall asleep and wake up at the same exact points in the movie every time and I can literally just use it as the perfect power nap timer.
i remember being fresh faced and excited about editing it
I know what you mean.
Twice, actually, the first time is when he goes for his saber to kill Palps.
You’re forgetting when he choked the pigmen. Never forget the pigmen.
It’s not the end of the world, obviously, but it really isn’t worth defending.
It’s not even that, it’s a poor joke in poor taste.
What kind of reaction was she supposed to have?
It bothered me when Rey instantly accepted that Finn had picked up a new girl (Rose).
Neither of those things happened.
Good, honestly.
Whoops, didn’t know a family theme park was obligated to accurately portray problematic aspects of their rides’ subjects.
By that metric, I assume Trump recites the Access Hollywood tape in the Hall of Presidents.
No one cared about the auction scene until someone pointed out it was sexist, at which point of course dudes on the internet started to pretend it was an integral part of the ride.
That’s exactly it, it’s the lighting in the scene. I have no trouble recognizing him from the “The shield doors must be closed,” scene to tnhe “Everybody to your stations, let’s go!” scene, it’s just that the mustache seems to disappear for that one bit with Han.
Anyway, anyone else see this?
http://www.starwars.com/news/remasters-of-the-first-6-star-wars-soundtracks-coming-may-4I just bought the LP reissues of the OT soundtracks on that snappy gold vinyl from Barnes & Noble so I doubt I’ll go for these right away. Hopefully it’s a harbinger of more rereleases to come. I dare not hope for the OUT, but at least maybe they’ll finally retire those awful 2011 discs.
If it’s the OSTs, don’t care. If not, very excited.
Wow, didn’t expect this many people to be interested. (If I’d known that I would’ve put out workprints earlier and not watched through my first three cuts all by myself.) Anyway, I’ll probably have an export done by the weekend and I’ll send it out to all those who expressed interest. If you can’t get around to it right away, don’t worry about it (I probably won’t watch it myself right away either).
Many are trolls in love with their Troll-in-Chief.
I have no idea what Mrebo’s problem is though.
I think it’s hilarious that such simple and good advice needs to be presented to him like he’s 5 years old and he’s still unable to follow it. And at the end of the day, this doesn’t change anything. I don’t know what’s wrong with you humorless knuckleheads.
It would be funny if it were a tv show. It’s not, and it’s not.
Unfortunately Trump either doesn’t understand or doesn’t care about the consequences of anything he does, and it seems neither do you.
What do you think are the consequences of congratulating?
I know, nothing he says or does matters.
You’re deflecting. You pretend I’m saying things I’m not.
In the words of Willie Scott, “I’m right here!”
When it comes to these symbolic acts like congratulating Putin or Pence not standing for the NK Olympic team, you’re all
No, if those were the only mistakes this admin made it wouldn’t be an issue. But we’re at point where we can expect basically every interaction with a foreign nation to go the wrong way, and that’s not exactly a good place to be at.
Under the Skin
Masterpiece.
I don’t know if I’d call it a masterpiece, but it was certainly unique. I thought it succeeded in showing a view of our world from the perspective of a complete outsider. Probably one of those movies I’ll never watch again but I’m glad I did.
Interesting. I’m already ready to watch it again to soak everything up better this time around but I definitely agree it’s very unique and not for everyone. I just wish more people could have seen it.
Love that one. Haven’t seen it again since theaters, but I can still vividly recall every moment.
I feel like the debris it would cause would be a reason not to use this attack often.
When it comes to damage done, we see in Rogue One a star destroyer, moving slowly, cut another in half. I never denied that lightspeed improved the destructive power, I just said I didn’t think it was at the “omg five million nukes worst OP weapon ever Star Wars ruined” level that people said. When you consider the length of the Raddus is about a fifth of the length of the Supremacy (little bit of an underestimate), one could then very roughly assume I suppose that lightspeed increases destructive power five fold, which I don’t think is enough to utilize it to the extent you think it should be. I will say in fairness when I saw the movie in theaters I didn’t stop to measure the level of ship to ship destruction in the other movies before I decided if I enjoyed the moment, weird I know. Now I’ve gone and done math (however basic) to Star Wars, which has pretty much assured that I hate that moment now too, thanks very much.
As for that page, call me crazy but it looks like there’s a “legends” banner there. Oh, and look at the “appearances,” all books by Timothy Zahn, a man who tried to turn Star Wars into boring military sci-fi. This is literally why they rebooted the canon, so they didn’t have to follow shit like this anymore.
I still don’t know why that makes TLJ better than RotJ in any way. Luke and Vader were the only characters that still had something worthwhile to do character wise because Han and Leia’s character arcs were done and they decided to take the safety route with them while going very risky with Vader and the Emperor. Apparently you think that that makes TLJ superior to RotJ. Ok, good. Am I correct? Is there more to it?
The problem was that they apparently decided Han an Leia’s stories were done already, which is silly, they easily could’ve given them more interesting things to do. I also fail to see what is risky about the Vader/Emperor plot, though I also don’t exactly understand using the word risky in relation to quality.
Anyway, yes, across the board characterization in TLJ is better than ROTJ, which in turn makes the film itself better.
How do characters having almost no impact on the plot of the movie improve the movie? I mean, why?
There is more to a movie than plot. Movies are not created for the sole sake of a Wikipedia plot summary.
This is to say nothing about the fact that they do impact the plot.
I sometimes have a hard time telling when people are joking online. There should be a font for that.
I was thinking that the Last Jedi has the same issue Return of the Jedi has. The parts dealing with the Force and the Skywalkers are amazing, but it does leave the other characters a bit out of the loop. Rian tried to give Finn and Poe more to do than Han and Leia in ROTJ.
Well, Han and Leia in RotJ are crucial to the plot of that movie, very different from Finn and Poe in TLJ. Then again, the movies weren’t trying to do the same thing in terms of characters - but I’m not sure if that works as an excuse for TLJ.
You’re right, excuse isn’t the right word, considering this is one of the things that makes TLJ ten times better than ROTJ.
This is again under the assumption that lightspeed ramming turns things to swiss cheese or whatever. But the way it’s depicted in the film it doesn’t seem like the lightspeed is necessarily the most important element to what would be massive destruction from the collision anyway. Why didn’t the Naboo fighters lightspeed kamikaze? Well why didn’t they just plain old kamikaze? Surely that’d cause some serious damage too.
Because to kamikaze is a last resort. Holdo was desperate to see the mission through. The transports couldn’t go back to the Raddus. They were being take down one by one. Also the Raddus is huge: 3,438.37 meters. That’s bigger than Home One from Jedi.
I know, it was a rhetorical question, I agree.
Funny how soon we forget how the Executor was brought down, and yet we never asked why that strategy wasn’t used more often (for the record, I think that scene is ridiculous).
I’ve basically got a cut done of ROTS. If anyone out there is interested in taking a look and giving some feedback, let me know.

I’ve never had Papa Murphy’s so I can’t comment on the taste, but the inconvenience of it makes me not really care to try. As for it being warm enough, I tend to find the drive home is usually just the right amount of time to keep a pizza warm without me burning myself as soon as I try to eat it.
