Bust Rodd posted:Are people really not over saturated on Donald Glover yet? Why does he have to be the most talented and acclaimed musician, actor, director, writer, comedian in all of Hollywood? I thought I was a big fan but like... drat dude take a breather Just guessing here, but Glover probably makes his career decisions based on things other than "how sick of me some people might get".

Bust Rodd posted:But Han is the worst main character and I don’t understand why anyone ever liked him TBH. Seems like he’s just a rude rear end in a top hat who gets captured and then he dies like a punk baby after being a lovely dad. Han's got all the best lines and moments, gets punked way less than Luke, and was played by Harrison Ford. That explains it all.

jivjov posted:Lord & Miller brought the directing style of shooting a comedy to Solo; multiple takes, encouraging improvisation and extemporaneous jokes, etc. Everything about that article was bullshit and a total hit piece. I don’t know the truth but I can smell horseshit Lucasfilm hired a duo who’ve proven themselves to make incredible comedic films and get mad when they make...a comedic film? gently caress lucasfilm for that. And gently caress them harder for that awful hit piece.

Oh they’re fine, because they have made nothing but good films. It’s just so strange to me that studios keep hiring filmmakers to make films the way they would and gasp when it’s not what they wanted.

If nothing else they were smart enough to hand the best director they've worked with an entire trilogy. And hey, maybe L&M can come back for a Disney+ show or something.

TK-42-1 posted:I thought they cut Johnson and hired Taika for the next movie? We still don't know which of the directors they've got tapped is doing the next theatrical release; that was supposed to be announced in January and then they just...didn't. Waititi has a feature coming, Johnson has a trilogy coming in which he's writing and directing the first, and at least writing the other two, and Kevin Feige is acting as producer on a theatrical feature (this could potentially be the same as the one Waititi is directing?). That's everything theatrical we know of so far now that Benioff and Weiss stepped down from their Star Wars series.

I love Johnson but they’re not making a trilogy with him. I really believe not happening. He causes too many nerd fights and Disney’s all about that “brand integrity” because they’re evil and bad. They don’t want another TLJ. They want safe. It’ll just quietly fall to the wayside while Johnson makes dope Benoit Blanc films for the next few years.

In January 2020 Variey posted:Johnson also confirmed he may still have another gig in a galaxy far, far away. When asked if he was still in active development on any future “Star Wars” projects, he responded: “I’m still talking to Lucasfilm but they haven’t announced anything on their slate yet.” It's not impossible that it will eventually exist but if it gets mired in development hell or is quietly killed nobody should be surprised.

No don’t you see, a guy who calls himself Doomcock Overlord said that an anonymous source says Kathleen Kennedy has totally been secretly fired from Lucasfilm because her SJW politics are ruining Star Wars!

The artist is not the work. If she's actually an anti-science CHUD there's a chance she just really sucks to work with. All the behind the scenes footage shows the rest of the cast being really chill and familial, so if they don't get along with her it could wear on the production.

Yeah but it's a perfectly valid decision to avoid art made by lovely people. Art doesn't exist in a vacuum--you can talk about separating art and artist all day long, but enjoying the art enhances their platform, allowing them to spew their bullshit to a wider audience.

Cross-Section posted:Meanwhile we appear to be stuck in a hell where there continues to be no S2 trailer and cast members continue to be revealed as assholes I can sort of sympathize with what she's saying. The biggest obstacle to re-opening a lot of stuff is the stupid, entitled mother-fuckers that won't put on a goddam mask. I'd like to be able to watch movies again in an actual theater eating over-priced hot dogs and candy, but even if they opened I'd be reluctant to go because I know some rear end in a top hat old white fart (and yeah, it's usually the old white dudes that ditch the masks from my experience working in a grocery store gas station) will remove his mask the second the lights go down so he can "breathe his free air."

I really don't understand what any of you think is wrong with what she's saying, she literally says "put whatever regulations you want" on how to open up, but she's right about the depression and lack of purpose many feel when they can't gather together, in however limited a fashion, to work, be with friends/family, etc. It's only exacerbating some of the worst deficiencies of our way of life, e.g. atomization and alienation. It's dehumanizing and there's got to be some kind of middle ground.

We’re actually having a big problem here because the governor has banned bars from opening and nothing else. There’s been no outbreaks traced to restaurants, theme parks, airlines, etc. after months when these businesses have strictly kept up capacity limits and mask rules, but the schools they forced open with no rules are causing mass outbreaks. It’s being legally challenged as openly discriminatory because the Florida bar and brewery industry is being rapidly destroyed so it can act as a scapegoat for the government. I don’t think her point was “Open everything and pretend nothing was wrong” and was just a garbled tweet of frustration at seeing businesses close and people fall into depression because nobody is enforcing rules that could keep these places running under them.

"You’re telling me Covid-19 knows the difference between a protest or praise & worship." is a deeply conservative view that ignores everything that science tells us about outdoor transmission and mask's impact on the virus. Nobody thinks she's being out of pocket for wanting to get back to normal, but "OPEN 'ER UP!" is a deeply classist and problematic attitude that essentially advocates for poor working class people to die from COVID.
