Maybe it’s more nuanced than that, and maybe those critical pieces are not very good articles/videos whatever.
I guess the difference is that Mark didn’t get the Luke or the movie he originally wanted, but he also understands that doesn’t make the movie bad.
The difference with whom? It seems logical to me, that if you dislike a movie, it’s not the movie you wanted. It seems falicious to me, to assume that automatically means the reverse is also true, if someone says TLJ is not the movie they wanted, that must also be the reason they think it is bad. This is what we call a false equivalence. I will do another one:
Since Frink thinks TLJ is good, it must have been exactly the movie he wanted, or more generally, TLJ fans think the movie is good, because it’s exactly the movie they wanted.
you confuse me
Frink has a habit of perpetuating the false belief, that criticism of TLJ stems from not getting what you wanted. He made a similar erroneous statement in response to NeverarGreat’s criticisms yesterday, and now seems to be making another blanket statement, that Mark Hamill is different from some undefined group of people, that in his mind dislike TLJ, solely because they didn’t get the Luke Skywalker they wanted.
maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. You seem to have a habit of bringing up Luke’s supposed hatred of TLJ to defend your opinions.
I guess the difference is that Mark didn’t get the Luke or the movie he originally wanted, but he also understands that doesn’t make the movie bad.
That has been my understanding of his statements since day 1

“Did you see that too?”
what the literal f*$&goodness, i think i am gonna check out too. now we are saying that because one real life general doesn’t like what they did in star wars, that makes it bad? HAH. you can find a real life general to say that everything that happens in real life is bad too, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. SMH.
Did you read the article? What’s so shocking about someone using his real life experience on military leadership to make an assessment of how a character behaves in a movie, and whether such behaviour in a real life situation would constitute good leadership? These characters are presented as role models to an extend, and people identify with them. It seems to me, that someone with actual expertise on military leadership would have a more informed opinion, than the average person, but I guess that only matters, if the opinion is favourable to TLJ, like for example when a physicist states Holdo’s kamikaze act would be physically plausible in their expert opinion.
I am saying, you can find an expert to agree with anything. and you can especially find an expert to say that any given decision was bad.
so, i really don’t see why you think it matters that an expert was found that said this was bad.

Wow, this looks great, from what I can view. Im having an issue with the .MKV file. When I try an demux it, I get an error code of -2. When I try and play it in VLC player, it jumps around in the film. In other players I get digital artifacts. My DL shows 100% and the folder shows a 38gb file, but 36gb on the disc. Am I missing part of the DL despite showing 100%? Sorry to break the flow of the thread, but Ive never encountered this before.
Not sure where you got it from, but I suggest doing a hash check, reference data here: https://pastebin.com/raw/ypJGN4HZ
Also, image only posts suffer the same 100% width issue that signature ages do. (On mobile)

How did you even do that?!
This is a question for Jay.
Posts with image only are weird, I think I already reported it…
As dahmage now has a signature image, am I to take it this bug’s been corrected?
Sadly no.
I just added like 800px of transparency to the left.

Low bar.
Did you just compliment me?
Fireworks.
Media culture or Catina

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Dumb and bad.
I could’ve told you that for free.
I would have told you for $20. Which automatically makes my opinion worth more.
I blame their parents. Or was it the lack of parents? In either case, I blame someone or something.
maybe it was a bluray frame in SSE 1.6?
Tried to watch Armageddon (Bruce Willis) last night. What a joke. Got about 30 minutes in.
“these guys are astronauts, not drillers; I want to bring my own men”
“Oh, sure” (paraphrase)
So you can teach someone to be an astronaut in two weeks, but not to drill into bedrock?
This was only one problem of many, of course, but this one stood out.
I still haven’t seen a single Michael Bay film. I count myself blessed.
The Rock is a legitimately fun, kinda schlocky 90s action flick. I’d recommend it, and it’s probably the only Bay film I’d say that about (although I enjoy both Bad Boys movies to one degree or another, I can’t recommend them).
The Rock is great.
Nice
well, if characters were to survive after an explosion and getting sucked to space, space battles would have no tension at all. not when force users are the pilots at least.
well, when you have something powerful like the force involved, i don’t see a solution other than sometimes using the power (because our space stories need a bit of ‘that was kick ass!’ sometimes) and sometimes conveniently not using the power. Seems to me like that has always been the case, except for perhaps ANH, where the force was just new and not as well explored as in the later movies.
and the kanan example shared above lasts for basically 5-10 seconds, and you can clearly see that he was almost, well, freezing to death already. i was under the impression leia was floating in space for a couple of minutes at least.
my impression was more like it was maybe 15 seconds.
I don’t think Disney is worrying even a microscopic bit about their investment. If they haven’t already recouped the $4bil, they will soon, or at the very least at some point in the next hundred years (hint, it won’t take more than a couple more years at most if it hasn’t happened already).
yeah, i doubt they are having buyers remorse. I mean, there is so much more to owning a property like star wars than just movies (Which are doing just fine). The theme park tie-in’s haven’t even opened (have they?), and our family just bought us some awesome personalized star wars merch for our son, so yeah, overpriced merch is still around 😃
yeah but when people get sucked into space after an explosion in Star Wars, they die.
Not sure that is a rule. in fact i am sure there are examples of both survival and death.

Off topic will gain a third category.
Well that came true. Still waiting for that fourth one, though.
Someone will probably notice that I posted that after the third one was created…
But the fourth one will just be called The Politics Thread
