Money is money. And the longer he's in the limelight, the better he's protected from #metoo, if he ever did anything untoward to someone who remembers and cares.

ford has always liked indy more than han solo (which he wanted out of asap) and it's one of the few ford properties that people still recognize instantly (other than blade runner :v: )

I'm about 20 minutes into WW1984 and the movie is loving excruciating

The childhood interlude makes no sense, and it leans way too hard into liberal feminism

gently caress it, call me a chud if I think all the winks to "hah women were wallflowers in the 80s amirite" is over the top but goddamn its so tedious

I think that opening scene about how there's no short cuts to earning something is supposed to connect with all the wishes, but only tentatively. Like I'm still not sure what his motivation for doing things that specific way was. Like there's nebulous unrest and protests that don't get fleshed out a.i they can have a stupid trip to Egypt that the sum total ebbs up hinting ata rise in tensions between the US and the Soviet Union in a blink and you can miss it bit of ADR. This movie must grave fine through a bunch of script revisions and reshoots

I got to about 25 minutes in and gave up and found out black dynamite was on prime. I'd never seen it and was laughing happily right away; michael jai white with no money for a movie did ten times the action comedy that WW84 tried to do

Christmas Eve I watched Die Hard 1 &2 and I liked the action in those so much better because it was at least real, didn't become a cartoon for stretches at a time.

The original WW film got a lot of praise for being fresh, but to my eye, it was a decent or maybe above average rendition of the same old superhero formulae. The sole novelty to it was that it was female lead. And it's even worse in some sense because Diana is literally an ubermensch, born into her gifts. When she's fighting in France, I kept wondering why she needed a team of sidekicks. She's so overpowered, she could solve the whole plot by herself.

She kills a ton of nazis in world war 1, so that's kind of cool

Either she's killing a bunch of nazis who deserve it, or she's evil and is killing a bunch of mind controlled germans (who can't hurt her) who were drafted to fight for their king against Brits who were drafted to fight for their king over some complete nonsense no one can explain

Plus if she was killing nazis in 1918 it explains why 1941 nazis got glossed over.

Considering how americans in ww1984 panic at the sight of a revolver and stampede each other, I can only assume ww84 is in an alternate timeline created by said nazis in ww1

the dreams of the delighting void

I had never seen the last of the Hobbit trilogy films, Five Armies, so I am watching it now and I am like 27 minutes in and Elrond Galadriel and Saruman are guarding Gandalf's broken body from protoNazgul on a mountaintop castle ruin and I don't know what the gently caress is happening

i'm going into this thinking, ahh, the extended edition is only 2:45, not bad, so lots of birds fighting goblins and elves and dwarves and men

it's doing that thing that the star wars prequils did which is obsess over setting the pieces exactly as we find them as introduced in the original trilogy

saruman just told elrond to take galadriel to lothlórien and then he winked and the camera and put his hand over his mouth and whispered "remember? that is where she is in Fellowship" and he blew me a kiss and lingered a moment longingly

it's already been mentioned that that child rescue scene is an inversion and revision of history given that that was filmed at the same beach where the IDF murdered Palestinian children in real life, but then also there's:

* the Soviets launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the US after detecting hundreds of new nukes popping up in their backyard - but this is framed as a consequence of the plot device, occluding the actual history that for decades the US actually did outnumber the USSR in nuclear weapons, at times by an order of magnitude

* the Egypt subplot has an Arab "emir" (that's on the True Lies-level of stereotype) using the McGuffin to trigger the creation of a gigantic wall around a depressed area of Cairo, sealing poor people off from their only source of freshwater. Again, an inversion of what Israel actually does to Palestine

* there's another scene where another Arab emissary claims that "the Soviets have sided with Iran. Iraq is preparing to defend herself as unrest spreads.". The Iran-Iraq War started four years after the date of the events of this movie, and it began WITH IRAQ INVADING IRAN

jesus loving christ this movie is shithole propaganda
