I know most of you probably already follow Jenny's Twitter. Did she say anything on why she is private?

No idea, it was very sudden. She’s had issues with stalkers/dangerous folks in the past, so it could be that. (She talked about how some stalker had discovered a MLP forums account she made when she was a teenager and had used that to dig up information on her life.) Alternately, she made some posts recently about behind-the-scenes stuff when she worked at Disney, so they might be trying to hit her with NDA stuff.

lol there's a loving insane blind item on Reddit claiming that Disney deliberately hosed up the editing of TROS to make JJ look bad so that Warner Brothers/D.C. wouldn't pick him up to revive the D.C. movie franchises, because Disney sees that as the biggest threat to their actual cash cow: the MCU.

In the original JJ cut they used more previously unseen footage of Leia.

I think we all need Ahkoh Fibrake, guys.

*Hobbit from Lost springs to action*

General Fibrake can provide us with plans of Palpatine's star destroyers, so we can figure out their weakness. Good thinking, General Organa! You've really, uh, done something to our spirits. Erm, you know what I mean, the word escapes me...

He was always going to die. Can't kill billions of people and then go be redeemed at the end and live. The redemption of someone like that will always involve them sacrificing their life, otherwise the narrative implications are just bonkers.
an ending where he sets out on a Jedi path for atonement he can never achieve would be p sweet, honestly. you can have Rey sacrifice herself for him or something to make him living more palatable to the audience (& an in universe reason for her friends to not kill him). or go full reylo and have her say 'gently caress what the galaxy/audience thinks, i'm redeeming ben.'

someone in one of these bad Star War threads made a good point about how the whole 'you don't deserve to be a force ghost/redeemed' thing is a very american/christian way of looking at it & contrary to how the force is presented.

otoh yeah, good luck getting that across to the focus groups lol

DC does not have need of a reboot regardless. Joker and Aquaman both made a billion, Shazam was well received, production is scheduled for several films, Wonder Woman will almost certainly be a hit as will the Guardians of the Suicide movie. Birds of Prey will probably make a ton of money but not be liked by critics.

I've been that linked subreddit. One of the mods (if she's still there...) of saltierthancrait is a transwoman who posts in leftist gender subforums, like IDK 10% of the people who post are similar. Reddit is especially bad for trying to talk about if a Disney movie is good or bad and the main starwars subreddit bans you if you try to criticize TLJ.

and honestly comparing the sub to fuckepic, the mods of saltierthancrait are doing their best and it's better than most of the mock subreddits.

Unfortunately like a much larger and louder percent are worshipful acolytes of thequartering, mauler, the like. Mentioning feminism or other leftist themes and whether the movies do right or wrong by them is a bad idea because you will not be able to get past 101 ideas with the dumbest and angriest members. The mods had to essentially ban "politics" because they cannot essentially ban these lovely youtubers who will never shut the gently caress up and never stop making GBS threads themselves and playing in their own poo poo.

There's a similar thing going on if you look at consumeproduct (making fun of corp defenders, very right wing), consoom (attempt at leftist version, still sees transpeople and minorities as the enemy because there's some bad ones on twitter), idk. Reddit's just trash in general.

Interesting how DC films are well received when Zack Snyder isn't involved :thunk:


I actually rewatched Batman Begins there yesterday, hadn't seen it in ages. It's so good, potentially Nolan's best film. The last act is a bit weak (feels more like a budget thing, Gotham looks pretty "studio backlot") but everything else is so good.

Eh

It's impressive how much work they did, but then they refused to do any CGI at all, so the scenes on the beach that should have 80,000 people just have a few dozen.

Also the climax for the pilot guy is that he saves the beach by getting a dead-stick kill OFFSCREEN on the plane that was about to gently caress the people on the beach up. Motherfuckers, you show me how that works because it's a cool idea.

How can we lose so much more than we had before

Dunkirk was really well made and had an amazing score (because of course it did, Hans Zimmer), but honestly I'm not sure if the gimmick it uses really helps or hurts the movie. I know people that hated it even after they figured out what the gently caress is going on. Kind of afraid Tenet is going to have the same problem.

1917 finally hits theaters near me in another week. Looking forward to that one.

Zack Snyder was heavily involved in Wonder Woman. He cast her, approved the costume design, had story credit, and Jenkins says he helped fight for some of her creative choices
