As I think on it, I anticipate removing Phasma from TLJ altogether. The film is overstuffed, and Phasma already had a plausible “out” in TFA. She was not necessary to the story of TLJ at all, and cutting her material allows for a much easier removal of some problematic Finn, Rose, and BB8 stuff.
It will depend on whether it can be pulled off. I’m pretty sure it would require some visual FX work to remove her from several shots, since she is present for an extended scene as DJ sells out the Resistance and Finn and Rose are prepared for execution.

If it’s doable, this is what I’d prefer, but I am far from certain it would be.

It’s totally doable. If you have a 4k source and release in HD, you can easily cut and crop every shot she’s in except for one. Hux names her once, all you do is cut before that.

I remember the line being, “Well done, Phasma”, it then cuts to Phasma and pans to DJ. It should be doable to cut her frames of that pan, and instead have Hux’s line refer to DJ.

I haven’t checked this thread in awhile, but I’m still up at the most ungodly hours.

I’m about to watch Alien for the first time and im not sure to start with the original Music Track or The Alternate Music Track. Which one would you Choose?

Original. Look what site you’re on.

Sorry. And Thanks?

You’re fine. It’s just funny whenever someone asks to see anything that’s not the theatrical cut on a site dedicated to bringing unavailable theatrical cuts of movies to everyone.

Lane would, in fact, have been better with a very different last 5-10 minutes, but that doesn’t completely invalidate the superb psychological thriller the rest of the movie is.

Since we know that was added on at the last minute, I wonder what the original ending was and if it’ll ever see the light of day.

10 Cloverfield Lane is fantastic.

I’m screwed.

How so?

My teacher is going to eat me alive. I hate her and she hates me so she’s going to do everything she possibly can to fuck my life.

I had a really bad experience with a mean teacher that hated me and constantly insulted me in high school. Sure, I may have been a delinquent on the verge of expulsion, but I still had feelings.

I was in the top 10% of my graduating class, and I had really bad experiences with tons of teachers that seemed to have it out for me. They seemed to think I was a troublemaker, but all I wanted was to do my work and have some innocent fun.

So, it’s okay to publicly like Voyager now? 😛

Is it really so important that other people approve of you for what TV shows you like?

YES. I NEED VALIDATION FROM OTHERS TO KNOW I’M NOT A WEIRDO FREAKO.

In case that wasn’t clear, that was not meant to be taken seriously, just like SilverWook’s original post.

Speak for yourself.

I know we don’t always gel here, but that was meant to be a light-hearted jest.

And you think my response wasn’t?

I wasn’t sure 😛

Is Discovery even worth watching? I haven’t taken a look at it but I suspect the worst.

Looking forward to seeing the Rose and Luke scenes especially.

I love everyone here, even the guys who occasionally piss me off. My life would be bleaker without you all.

As would mine. I feel like this is the only place that really speaks the same language as me, sometimes.

But ender has mentioned wanting to leave in the past, right? He’ll be back. At least, I hope so. And it’d be great if we could all just get along again.

I have always had the urge to learn how to actually dance like Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but whenever I try I learn just how impossibly awkward I am.

No.

I’d bite her sweet vegan apple. . . .

She looks kind of daft.

I didn’t.

I’m still up.

I just want to voice my appreciation in how willing to answer and how responsive you are to our questions, with how busy you are. Especially after watching your videos. I couldn’t imagine juggling all that work. So thanks again.

Sweet Bird of Youth (1962)

Sometimes you’ve got to slog through the dull and meandering to appreciate the true gems once in awhile. But, my god, did this do everything wrong.

From a production standpoint, Sweet Bird of Youth is pretty generic and unremarkable, but its characterizations and storytelling, like Paul Newman’s character, take the wrong doors every time.

There are too many characters, and the ones there are, are melodramatic caricatures. The whole thing is a farce. I couldn’t bare to watch Ed Begley’s performance as Boss Finley. His wide smile, his spitting, everything he does is just so mean spirited with little to no justification. Sure, there are people like that, but they aren’t cartoon characters. The entire subplot with his lover was completely unnecessary and pointless, and also completely derails a proper introduction to his daughter.

That’s a big issue. We don’t really get to know any of the characters before the melodrama starts. Every character introduction is completely botched. The timing is wrong, too. We’re introduced to Boss Finley with a 4-minute newsreel going on about his history, after about two minutes I thought he’d shut it off, but we go on about something to do with his son. Our introduction to the main antagonist is from a newsreel. And then he’s a cartoon. His daughter, Paul Newman’s supposed love, is introduced by yelling at her dad how he can’t perform in bed. And Paul and the daughter don’t share any scenes until about half an hour before the end! Even though this is supposedly what the movie is about.

What the hell is this movie about?? In the end, I don’t care.

P.S. I’m shocked that this film comes from the man who brought us Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, a similar film in what it’s trying to present, but vastly superior in every way.

I’m still up, and will probably remain up for all eternity.

Go to sleep, Mrebo, you have to get up early.
