So Jeremy Jahns call joker his movie of the year, should I write him off as a YouTube reviewer?

I ask thread because I can't muster any interest to watch the movie, not even the free version.

He's a red background critic. You should have written him off years ago after seeing any random video.

I'd put leftist podcasts below reddit but otherwise I approve.

IME leftist podcasts tend to highly recommend RoboCop and extremely hate the prequels, so they're mid-tier.

Reddit believes in the Snyder Cut with no irony, putting them in the hell pit.

I want movies with real goon forts.

Like a movie that tackles the idea of these damp nerds that think they'll be "survivors".

Some dude with boot camp training that was a pencil counter in the Navy just rolling up and bulldozing New Mos Eisley and slaughtering the dorks with flea market swords inside and liberating the den mother / concubine the sweaty dweebs kidnapped.

And dumping fuel in the air vents of rich people shelters and burning them out.

As much as I love Mad Max, we're extremely overdue for modernist post-apocalypse realism instead of just endlessly repeating the tropes of 70s sci-fi.

Mandalorian:

- 1 guy planned the whole thing
- hired his own team to see it through
- very little studio interference


Nu Star War:

- 3 people with 6 different plans
- no consistency or oversight between these people
- Kathleen's dumb rear end issuing the mouse's edicts daily


I know "auteur theory" irritates the poo poo out of some film nerds, but it is glaringly obvious that this is the ONLY way to handle "franchise" films.

(See also: Tim Burton's Batman films, versus Schumacher's after interference from WB, Mcdonald's, etc., versus Chris Nolan being left alone)

2016 absolutely broke the brains of white liberals and their only recourse is going to be them leaning hard into nazism.

Telling my grandkids about the time in the great posting wars of 2018 how I bravely defended the last jedi against the opinions of a gay black man who called it boring, which means he's a typical straight white male, unlike me, a straight white male who loves the last jedi. You see, back in those days, everyone you didn't like was a white man. And I was wearing an onion on my belt, which was the fashion at the time.

Star Wars, like anime, should have its own sub and if anyone posts about those subjects outside of those subs they should be electrocuted and the fillings in their teeth melted down and added to lowtax's spine.

Thinking about it, I'm surprised that it's not Finn X Poe that's the ship that's causing the most trouble. Yaoi shippers are usually the most aggressive and belligerent. I believe this is resultant from them being emboldened by their ability to fall back on "you only disapprove of our ship because you're a homophobe." So that it's a non-yaoi ship causing all the trouble is strange to me.

Imagine believing that RLM is responsible for prequel hate when the whole country collectively took a poo poo on Jar Jar so hard he got two lines in the second film and zero in the 3rd.

I was a grown rear end adult in 1999. I was there. I remember it. I slept through the premiere day screening.

It sucked. It always sucked. By 2002 these forums and Ain't It Cool News were abuzz 24/7 with hating TPM and Attack of the Clones.

Nope! The prequels are exceptionally, uniquely bad. They're also lazier than the new movies in terms of filming. Once Plinkett revealed the whole "actors walk from left to the right in front of a green screen, switch camera angles, actors walk from right to left in front of a green screen," it was like "OH MY GOD!"

The biggest one to stand out for me is sitting on a couch and talking and after too many shot-reverse-shots someone stands up and goes to a window.

I can't unsee it now when it happens in something I'm watching. Back half of Game of Thrones was lousy with that poo poo, and that's like half of Mad Men.

But I was told specifically it's impossible to scan prints of the old films, despite the Criterion Collection regularly doing that in order to release 4k scans of films found in peat bogs and haunted attics.

Werent the ones Lucas had largely deteriorated?

Maybe. Unfortunately there were no other prints anywhere. When Star Wars was shown in theaters George Lucas had to travel the country with the only existing print in the trunk of his car.

You absolutely don't need original negatives for 2k or 4k scans. You'll only have degradation at 8-16k.

And when you have them and "parts were destroyed" you can patch in.

loving Citizen Kane and Metropolis were restored from prints scattered across the globe. We have a full Star War in the Library of Congress as well as whatever percentage of the original negatives remain AND prints collectors saved, which number in the thousands.

"But they were damaged" is bullshit of the highest order. George is just a pissy turd man.

In simplified terms, you can have the entire film trilogy scanned at 16k and during the Han Shot First scene for a few seconds the picture would drop to a measly 4k.

The Criterion Channel is running a 70s Sci-fi marathon this month and since the first I've watched so many great post- apocalyptic films like Mad Max, The Omega Man, Soylent Green, The Ultimate Warrior, THX 1138, Logan's Run, A Boy and His Dog, and No Blade of Grass.

Anyways, weird coincidence this started on new year's day and now not only are we facing mass extinction and global warming, but now World War 3 is on the table.

Happy Final Decade movie nerds!
