Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)

Fun film. Loved the humor, it’s a shame that dries up in the last act, but overall it was an entertaining ride.

So it’s a little unfortunate that the film takes on the same dour tone of mine and many others assumptions rather than pushing for something more subversive and happier.

Every documentary about fandoms ends up being somewhat depressing. From Trekkies to Ghostheads, I’ve yet to see one that didn’t have an underlying sense of desperation. Despite whatever the documentarian’s intention was.

That said, I’ve yet to watch this particular documentary, so I can’t comment on it specifically.

‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ Replaces Its Composer

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first stand-alone movie in the Star Wars franchise, will be whistling a new tune.

Michael Giacchino, the composer behind such films as the Star Trek reboot and Pixar movies ranging from The Incredibles to Inside Out, will score the upcoming pic, stepping in for Alexandre Desplat, who was originally slated to work on the movie.

The recent reshoots are behind the switch, according to sources.

Rogue One underwent extensive reshoots this summer that saw writer Tony Gilroy take on a filmmaker role during the shoot and the postproduction process as Disney and Lucasfilm sought to clarify story and tonal issues for the pic that is set to open Dec. 16.

But the reshoots also altered the scoring calendar and Desplat, who won an Oscar for The Grand Budapest Hotel, was no longer available. Disney and Lucasfilm then turned to Giacchino, who has a long relationship with the studio and its various divisions.

For Pixar, the maestro created the music for Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up (for which he won an Oscar), Cars 2 and Inside Out. For its live-action film division, he has worked on Sky High, John Carter and Tomorrowland. For Disney Animation this year, Giacchino scored its surprise hit Zootopia. And he’s making his Marvel Studios debut with Doctor Strange, which opens Nov. 4. (With Rogue One, he will end up working for all four of Disney’s film arms.)

Giacchino also is a Star Wars fan and appeared as a storm trooper in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, directed by his pal J.J. Abrams and for whom he has scored films and television shows.

Giaachino will now become the first composer to work on a Star Wars movie other than the film series’ iconic mainstay, John Williams, who is slated to return for Star Wars: Episode VIII.

I wonder if that’s better or worse than being forced to watch Juwanna Mann.

30 years younger shouldn’t be that noticeable.

30 years older certainly is however:

It’s stupid that they decided the snowspeeder’s designation was T-47. They weren’t evacuating those, they were part of the defense. And Luke calls them “heavy equipment” which sounds much more like a generator or some kind of lifter or loader or something.

Yeah, I always hated this one and that they made the BT-16 the stupid B’omarr monk droids. Those troopers would be making idle chatter about a new type of speeder or a blaster not a weird spider droid.

Welcome to the nightmare that is international distribution rights.

Well here’s something I never thought I’d see.

First peek at Ghost Rider:

As always, we are going to put our own spin on the character. We are staying true to the comics in the places where we feel like it’s really important — we love the character’s family dynamic and the East L.A. kid in him.

While we’re on the subject.

New Promotional Photos have been released:

I wouldn’t form any opinions based on artwork. Who knows what they used as a model. Best to wait for actual photographs.

I really don’t understand that complaint, the OT is filled with other R2 units. I doubt this droid holds any prominence in the film. Remember all the hullabaloo over Constable Zuvio before TFA was released?

Good luck spotting him in the final film.
