I never watched Enterprise (originally dropped out of Trek partway through Voyager’s run), but the little preview bit on Netflix, where the guys are watching this new technology, the transporter, in use and discussing how live trials begin soon, got my interest. I’d definitely be simultaneously talking with horror about how dumb the proposed human application was on the future’s equivalent of SA, while champing at the bit to give it a go.

I guess I meant to say "it's incredible to me that they would need underwater filming to continue the story"; everything about the Avatar sequels seems out there and zany.

You realise the movies p much exist as excuses for that kind of thing

I'm watching north by northwest for the first time. is this the first time the cia were ever portrayed as the bad guys? it's certainly the earliest example I can think of

also, they attempt to cover up an assassination by pinning it on a lone nut assassin who is accused via false photographic evidence... 4 years before jfk's killing 👁

also, this is one of the horniest movies I've ever seen, even by modern standards. Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint meet on a train and within 5 seconds they are ready to gently caress

hard to explain what I mean exactly but this is the first time I have seen a trailer in forever where I am left with the impression that it is actually for a movie

like the way I would feel many years ago seeing a trailer and being like "ah yes, that is for an upcoming film"

instead of like "ah, yes, that is part of a business plan"

Star Wars could do with TV shows that aren’t about Jedi. Fighter pilots, soldiers or smuggler scoundrels. The wizards with laser swords aren’t as fun now that they made it apparent that it’s all hereditary instead of random and mysterious as the Force seems.

It’s going to be High Republic, probably. The general audience wants to see and hear more laser swords.

If we see more Jedi poo poo, I better not see over the top powers. The self-projection thing from VIII was cool in a wizard trick kind of way even if it killed you. Then they hosed up by doing it again and doing stupidly strong Force Lightning and Raise Dead in IX.

But the best time the Force was implied in the new movies was that dude in Rogue One walking past the crossfire. No visible power. Just an uncertain scene of whether he was lucky or the Force really did guide him.

it would be kind of interesting if they really stuck to the idea that the jedi and sith at the core of the films we see are the apex of power of both religions. so there might be all sorts of unique and powerful force users before and after, but ultimately none of it is really more powerful than what luke, vader, and p-daddy could do

nah that poo poo owned because it was fun as hell. but it was also super stupid. imo the game should have ended with a cut to a drunken stormtrooper retelling the story and clearly bullshitting the whole time

The next few years are going to be Disney getting high off the success of a Star Wars only to completely crash and panic when they release something that gets moderate criticism and throw away all consistency for another baby bottle in the form of callbacks and nostalgia.

They wanted to do so many movies and shows until The Last Jedi and Solo got flack. Now they might do it again after The Mandalorian kept people’s minds off the nonsense they did for Rise of Skywalker.

If anything, Disney is just like George Lucas who did the same thing when people got mad over Empire Strikes Back ending with a downer. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, etc.

Something like Old Republic but the Jedi are at an all time high instead of near extinction again, I believe.

Not even the new movies know what they are about because their one attempt to challenge the Jedi way was pretty much bleached as soon as Disney panicked about less box office money. Rise of Skywalker’s big goal should have been to help the audience digest what happened last time and carry on but Disney forcefed them ipecac in as soon as the first line of the opening scroll.

Disney would have made Yoda say to Luke that Darth Vader was not really his dad and it was a Sith Force Trick to break his spirit. And then tell him his grandpa is Palpatine.
