Too many people act like movies should adhere to a strict, realistic narrative – that there should always be a clear series of events with a defined beginning, middle, and end, with characters acting/reacting logically. They don’t have to and they shouldn’t have to.

There’s nothing wrong with finding surrealist filmmaking not to your liking – if it’s not to your tastes, it’s not to your tastes. But when you insist that its bad – with no understanding of the genre – then you’re just being a narrow-minded populist.

You have just defended PT without noticing it.

Last time I checked SW was not an attempt at “surrealist filmmaking”.

Idk, the bubble opera of innuendo was pretty surreal.

A lot of films have surreal or abstract moments in them (f.ex. the Dagobah cave vision). However that does not make the entire film “surreal”.
Mulholland Drive is a surreal movie and the plot is very hard to describe (except for on a very basic level).
SW on the other hand is pretty straight forward as it follows a very normal story structure. It may have subleties, and even some weird moments, but all in all they’re all good vs evil action/adventure stories.

I’d hardly put them in the same category ad Eraserhead simply because of the bubble opera scene in ROTS.

I wasn’t being totally serious (or serious at all really).

double post

I used to hate the PT, even recently, but now I just don’t care. They exist, they’re lame, O well. The SE’s, however, still disgust me.

Good issue.

I got this thinking it was a trade, and didn’t notice the “one of four” label under the logo until I left the shop. Curse you prestige format!!

Anyway, this is a good story with some absolutely wonderful art. I’ll need to hunt down the other three now.

I tried reading through Birthright a couple years ago. The first few issues were fine, but the fake Kryptonian invasion killed any interest I had in finishing it.

Yeah it was silly, but I didn’t mind much.

Superman: Birthright

Was alright.

While I saw the SE once on VHS It didn’t take and I didn’t see what the big deal was.

That explains it.

And yet they still lack anti-aging medicine …

If you want a movie about anti-aging remedies in space, go watch Star Trek: Insurrection.

Actually, don’t do that, you’ll wanna tear your eyes and ears out and shove them in a blender.

The tall rock formations and brightly colored sky fit TOS as well. Good video, even if I’m not particularly a fan of Rihanna or the song.

Title: Rey-turn Of The Jedi

What makes you think that I’m not in orbit with a Dr. N. Sano right now being forced to watch it?

Not even this movie? 😉

Apparently New Ghostbusters is getting an extended edition for its home release. I found out because people on social media are whining that it’s getting a home release at all, claiming that the film is horrible and shouldn’t exist.

I haven’t seen the film myself, and likely won’t, but the continuing rage against it baffles me.

EDIT: Well I’ll probably watch it eventually if I catch it on TV or something, but I’m not interested enough to buy it or anything.

Yes, I know. But Howard had a cameo in Guardians Of The Galaxy, so he does exist in the movie universe. Enough time has passed to attempt a more faithful version, be it a movie or web series.

And I wish I still had that poster…

I think shorts with Howard that play before the feature films would be a cool thing to do. They could even make the short tangentially connected to the film it’s attached to if they want.

Your new, non-viewable signature image from ezgif.com is fantastic. Please never change it.

As you wish, Great President Frink.

Happily married Han and Leia would’ve been the safest move, splitting them up is far more interesting. Plus, it sort of fits into the meta-commentary theory about the film.

Wish I could say the same about your sig. 😉

Shots fired.

I’m receiving a report of one casualty.

Those images seem rather inactive.

I think the Prequels were a bad remake of what was briefly said on Leia’s Hologram.

Meh. I didn’t watch that trailer, but I doubt it can make me feel any different about the project than I already do. I’m sure they’re well meaning fans, so as long as they don’t bash the OT or TFA, I really don’t care. Suggesting that he may be the “Champion of a Singular Vision” is ridiculous though.

Time for another game of Spot the Difference!
