My brain would probably off itself as some sort of protective countermeasure.

My Brother, My Brother, and Me is incredibly entertaining. The brothers delve deep into Yahoo! answers to answer such mystical questions as: “According to the bible, is vanity over one’s potato salad a sin?” and “Are the hinges on Blu-ray boxes getting weaker, or am I getting a whole lot stronger?”
God please someone talk to me about this podcast
Separating the art from the artist is a very important thing. People say ‘The Usual Suspects’ is a masterpiece (I don’t know I’ve never seen it), but I can tell you for a fact that the director is a disgusting degenerate pedophile.
Kevin Spacey is a fine actor but he’s also a dickhead. I was upset when that news came out.
I’ve been awake for about 18 hours and I so very desperately want to sleep but I don’t feel like it?
If this is The Price Is Right rules I’m going 10.
Take it to the Review thread, why don’t ya.
Something I made based on concept art from Return of the Jedi.

JEDIT: Pre-bluescreen version:
Kerr’s edit of Episode III is also called Dark Force Rising fyi.
The whole edit is nonlinear, but I’m about to start on the Anakin/Padme romance.
Getting the dialogue right/figuring out exactly how I want this whole thing to go is really draining. The Dex Diner scene is really annoying to try to nail.
I will let you know that I am determined to finish this project, and I won’t let it die.
JEDIT: Next time, you should ask any DAJ-related questions on its thread.
It’s going.
Where’s the new VFX shot that replaced the caretakers? This sounds so cheesy to say but I honestly can’t tell what wasn’t originally in the movie.
When Rey looks at the hole she shot through her home, there were originally two caretakers trying to clean it up.
JEDIT: What Ash said
This project is still unfinished, unfortunately.
I’ve seen like three or four episodes and it’s pretty damn good so far.
The edit is very good!
I really loved your many interpretations of my name, too! I had such a dumb grin during that whole part! 😃
I’m really impressed with the commentary, the way you explained yourself and all.
I was actually doing that for my project! Good stuff!
JEDIT: I feel like the dialogue needs more room to breath? And I think you can cut “Back down” “I don’t think so”. There’s too much obvious ‘teleporting’ around the room.
JEDIT II: I also feel like the audience would be thinking ‘how did they get there?’
Zoo wee mama!
Thank you. I needed that.
On the fanedits subreddit Hal posts links to his edits.
JEDIT: I’m downloading it now, Hal. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out!
JEDIT II: Seed!

I really like this movie, and reading some threads over on that Reddit make me feel really uneasy.
Threads such as “Does Rey have any friends?”, “The cinematography in TLJ is overrated”, and the great “All 50+ times Mark Hamill tried to subtly warn us about last jedi/force awakens and bashed Disney”

I think that most of us can agree that Rian Johnson performed a monumentally horrendous act in creating this film, which subverts, deconstructs, tears apart, and hangs upside down (before setting it on fire) so many parts of the Star Wars saga that had been built-up with love and respect over the past 40 years
No.
I was watching some of The Last Jedi BTS and seeing how much practical costumes they made for the Canto Bight sequence really surprised me, especially considering how much of it they actually didn’t use in the final cut.
Not a drastic idea, but I think a worthy change would be to cut the slot machine gag with BB-8 and the cgi alien and replace it with various shots from the Canto Bight deleted scene, which is basically just B-roll of random casino guests. So when Finn and Rose start looking for the Codebreaker, instead of seeing the slot machine gag, we see all the weird aliens and shady aristocrats that they see. Cutting the gag would you give you about 20-25 seconds of space if you want to keep the music in sync, which you could use the music-only version of the movie as a source or reference.
Just feel like it would be more useful to expand that environment and help the audience get more immersed in it, much like how the Mos Eisley Cantina shows of various weird patrons, rather than using the time for an unnecessary gag.
Definitely. I was planning on doing something similar in my edit, as well as moving this sequence to the beginning of the movie.
Now THAT’S an interesting idea!
Oh please. Did we criticise Ewoks because of ‘toxic masculinity’? Did we balk at the plotholes created by the prequels because of latent sexism? Did we hate Midichlorians because it threatened the patriarchy? Did we cringe at Padme/Anakin’s romance dialogue because we’re trapped in some selfish power-fantasy? No, these were simply film critiques. Nothing more, nothing less. And despite a few racist/sexist imbeciles on the internet (which are everywhere - it’s not a ‘Star Wars thing’) TLJ is getting exactly the same treatment as every other SW movie. This ‘toxic fandom’ crap is getting old. We should be able, as fans, to discuss potential plotholes and canon discrepancies without being told by some sanctimonious article that we don’t understand the nuances of this brilliant film because we’re secretly struggling with our own deeply held sexism/racism.
Must have hit a little close to the mark to get you all riled up like that.
I guess you don’t know everything about women yet.
It sort of adds a connection to the whole “Leia, hear me” moment from Empire. Sounds interesting!
…a couple of brothers!
