Some Guy TT posted:i only saw like the last act and it was such a by the numbers heist flick resolution i would never have guessed that id apparently missed an entire ninety minutes of plot up until that point they ran out of actual conflicts so quickly they were bringing up random crap like an orphan led mini resistance and also a talking darth maul hologram you can basically simulate the movie in your head by skimming the wookiepedia article. the biggest priority for disney was dutifully explaining every single tiny throwaway line of dialog han says in the OT. mandalorian manages to have better characterisation adn feel less and thats a show where the episodes are 40 minutes long and the plot feels like a videogame Farm Frenzy has issued a correction as of 05:18 on Apr 27, 2020 |

i only saw it once and this was on an airplane, but iirc they bother to take time in the movie to explain: where han solo gets his last name, where his blaster comes from, why he and chewbacca are life partners, why he owes money to jabba the hutt, how he got the millennium falcon, his entire relationship with lando, how he did the kessel run, why he dislikes the empire, and i think more that im forgetting it's everything people make fun of prequels and origin stories for, taking any random tiny thing about the character (why does han solo have a stripe on his pants?????) and building it up into some epic lore that needs its own ten minute explanation instead of something like "he likes the way the stripe looks, who cares?" it completely ruins any mystique the character might have had by giving every character trait its own detailed explanation it also manages to make it look like everything interesting that ever happened to him (and therefore everything referenced in later movies) happened in like a 2-day period, so i guess the rest of his life was just really boring

your left out the origin of the fuzzy dice that appear for one shot in the first movie as a reference to george lucas's previous movie american graffiti. yes, they decided an easter egg needed an origin as well

'solo' undermines his characterization and the message of his role in the story in the original story entirely. han was a great character because of his unworthiness and his seedy lifestyle choices. the focus group execs responsible for the film don't know how to relate to the average person anymore so they don't understand why it's so cathartic for the audience when unjust, corrupt power structures sustain mortal blows when decidedly unheroic, unremarkable people take a stand at the right time.

mysterious frankie posted:I read a description of this and it started with something like “new thing by Pendleton Ward...” and I was like ok could be good then I read “...and Duncan Trussell...” and was like, wait Joe Rogan’s hippie Salacious Crumb? The one with his own lovely podcast? “...based on Trussell’s podcast” and I immediately started doing a slowmo ohhhhhh noooooo. I have yet to watch this video. Someone in CD thought it a keen idea to post porn of the main character in the animation thread so my first impression of the show is the main characters dripping neon colored boner

Solo is useless even as a heist movie set in star wars world bc rogue one already did it, derivative in every way I wish they had done a curve ball and had it be about him being in the war on the opening planet, that was actually an interesting facet to han's life that was completely ignored as soon as it was introduced

Solo is a comedy movie where they edited out the punchlines and thought that would make it a drama

If you don't want terrible star wars poo poo then the first movie would have to go, stopping the whole franchise. I agree with you 100%

Hulu is stubbornly sticking to "one episode per week" TV rules even for their Originals. Only the shows they really don't give a poo poo about or think are bad or both get dropped all at once.

watching the 2009 chinese version of mulan and man i gotta admire how this is just an unapologetic medieval chinese war movie where mulan happens to be the main character they deal with all the woke stuff in the first act and then they go into how the war keeps dragging on and mulan starts to get post traumatic stress so the whole thing feels like something that might have actually happened as opposed to a cartoon this made me vaguely curious about the remake so i looked it up and they got rid of the eddie murphy dragon but now the villain is a shapeshifter and also the whole thing was directed by a white woman gonna go out on a limb here and predict its gonna suck

mysterious frankie posted:Blech. The framing concept is interesting (slacker does a bad job of tending to his simulations, ends up creating limitless apocalypse scenarios) and I think trussell isnt the worst person in the world, but I’m exceedingly tired of west coast b and c list celebrities yapping at each other about themselves and their fatuous ideas, and it pisses me off they wasted a perfectly good plot and neat looking art style on this particular tiresome form of onanism. yeah thats a much better way of putting it

There’s this show I routinely forget the name of. I believe the original language was French, but the version on youtube had English overdubbed. Mostly black and white, up until the later episodes. Every episode was presented in a documentary style and each episode dealt with something paranormal/weird. Stuff like: -An alleged witch in a small country village -The survivors of Soviet cybernetics experiments -The home movies of two neighboring families, narrated by a member of one of the families (title was something along the lines of “The SURNAME Watch The OTHER-SURNAME”) -A group of people going mad while stranded out at sea It’s a really fun series, made sparingly over a period of decades.

Tried watching the first episode of The Midnight Gospel. The animation was neat, but I couldn't make it through an entire 22 minutes of Duncan's dipshit maundering. When I was 15 this probably would have blown my mind, however.

Egg Moron posted:that seems like the vibe, like, "you loved adventure time when you were in elementary school, now that you are in your first year of college, this is for you" I've watched some more episodes because, I dunno, I don't value my time, I guess, and episode six is much better than what's come before, mainly because the podcast to story ratio favors the latter. If the final episodes bias similarly toward showing instead of telling it will just be two thirds of a disappointment. E: they don't. the entire construction of the show echoes what is so obnoxious about new age woo; the endless egoistic talking over doing. visual storytelling has so much potential to communicate complex ideas without explicitly stating anything verbally. you just have to put the work in. midnight gospel skips metabolizing the ideas into entertainment with a message, instead making eight animations that play over eight esalen-lite jerk sessions. They often try to illustrate the ideas being discussed, but in extremely sophomoric ways that are drowned out by the plodding conversations. really pretty though. mysterious frankie has issued a correction as of 08:08 on May 2, 2020 |
