The only good that will come of this is in the potential of a showdown between two psychotic cults - the "beyhive" and the k-hive.

Let them fight.

Malia may well be a decent writer but she can never escape her name. if she was serious about it she would try to get some stuff published under a pen name. maybe she is trying, who knows.

Besides being in the right time and place, Star Wars had a lot of talented people work on the movie. Hell I think it was Coppola who gave editing advice, Lucas's wife pretty much saves the movie in the editing bay by giving the attack on the Death Star some stakes. For as much praise as the prequels get now for being the last time a film maker had their unvarnished vision put to screen, the original trilogy worked because people were able to tell Lucas no, and which ideas were dumb. People say that oh used car salesman lizard Obi-wan would be cool, because it stands as a contrasting idea to what we actually got, and someone could find that alternative interesting n if that's what we'd gotten in '77 Star Wars would be a footnote. Though I wonder if ILM would have continued to be a thing if Star Wars had failed. I don't know if you get big special effects movies if Star Wars bombed.

it's hard to say because ILM was also pretty essential to pulling off Star Wars and coming up with the whole aesthetic of the films, from the mashed together battleship model kits (which plenty of scifi series did before, to be fair) to the various sound effects from lightsabers, to alien grunts, to laser blasts just reeling people in. and now that I think about it, jim henson's indirect contribution mattered a ton in making the weird rear end aliens interesting and relatable.

just the perfect storm of design and talent coming together to bring the director of american graffiti's flash gordon fanficition to life.

But Star Wars was key to ILM's success, abd they would go on to be the premier Special Effects house built off of that success of Star Wars. So if Star Wars fails does it take down ILM and how does that change movie making? Or does the movie flop but thr effects are impressive so they still exist because people are impressed by that.


Though a further thoughit experiment, the success of Jaws and Star Wars created the Summer Blockbuster, if Star Wars failed are their Summer Blockbuster movies? Or does Jaws and Spielberg carry the blockbuster and special effects movie forward?

Was communism really a problem between 1919 to the ww2 in Britain? I knew the ira was a big issue but didnt expect the heavy handed anti communism in the show.

Literally everything about the show is hilarious innacurate, especially Shelby shagging the connie lass who in real life was dead before he was born

Disney can really put out excellent stuff if they try and focus hard enough. All the splurging of MCU/Star Wars stuff is not good for them. Out of all new ideas they have, maybe one-fourth or one-third will be really good, one-half will be cheap mediocrity and the rest will be so bad that they'll just be ripped out of the public conscious in a matter of weeks.

The creation of modern film requires a bunch of people working together on a piece of art, in a large group, communally, in common, communistically, if you would.

That can only happen in a world of maximum individualism and structural inequality. Obviously.
