I watched a review of that school shooter movie, Run Hide Fight and it seems like outside of the ending the movie is mostly bad in a boring way. The ending is definitely a doozy though, the main school shooter somehow slips away in the chaos but the lead girl sees him getting away. Instead of telling the police, who are right there, she grabs a rifle, follows him into some woods and shoots him. She then stands over his dying body and gives a speech that's a callback to the beginning of the movie about how some animals need to be put down.

The writers were edging themselves raw getting that to paper.

I'm sure the sound of a gunshot will be ignored, nor will there be any questions when they catch the girl with a rifle over a dead guy.

They hosed up by not having a post-credits scene where Trump makes a call and wants to talk to her about The Guns of Patriots Initiative

It could have been good if they'd picked one plot. The film had about five, and we rushed through all of them so quickly. Han finding his way off his crime ridden homeworld would have been good. Han flunking out of the imperial flight academy and seeing the sharp end of the empire would have been good. Han teaming up with a criminal gang, just one, would have been good. Han having to negotiate a Lovecraftian stretch of space filled with giant monsters would have been good. The problem is the film tried to do them all, leaving it feeling like multiple tv episodes stitched together.


Do you have a link or some scans or anything? This sounds really cool.


Which is great since Irwin Kershner, when asked what he thought made Empire Strikes Back work, just said 'I put in heaps of jokes.'

Explains why Lawrence Kasdan didnt have much success after the 80s. He was supposedly a real primo donna on the production, and so was his son. Dont know the details tho.

My sense is that Lawrence didn't really write Solo. He certainly came up with the general storyline and characters and the like but I get the sense his son did all the actual pencil to paper writing. Definitely all the heavy EU references came from the son.

The again I think it was Lawrence complaining about Lord and Miller not following the script that got them fired.

But again again, Howard said it was his (son's) idea to use Maul, which seems like a big chunk of the plot to innovate for a replacement director hired at the last minute after his predecessors were fired for not following the letter of the script.

Apparently they just got a big list of existing characters that could be the ultimate boss of Crimson Dawn, but Jon Kasdan also said that he wrote subtle hints that the boss could be Maul into the script. I don't know if that was to lead the directors down a certain path towards Maul, or if it was in response to the choice, to help it not come completely out of nowhere.

This is the only scene I can picture out of the entire movie because it went on for so long and was so overwrought, but mostly because I had to try really hard not to laugh at the one guy in my sold-out theater who was full on sobbing.

My absolute favourite 'hollywood buys adaptation rights in extremely weird way' story is, after the 'earth after humans' documentary came out, one of the major studios bought the film rights. When it was pointed out that an adaptation would just be time lapse footage of buildings collapsing, the studio clarified that they were going to make a film about the disaster that wiped the humans out.
