I said it at the time and I'll say it again, TFA was decent until the superweapon showed up. That's the moment the movie goes off the rails from "comfort food" to straight up memberberries.

The problem with TFA is exactly the same as with TPM: the movie reaches a point where the story tells you that the entire first act was completely pointless.
TpM- "we're going to send Jedi to investigate!" "We must get our report to the government!" Oh wait, once back at the government nobody will listen to our investigation or report.

TFA- "we need to find Luke!" "Giant space laser goes PEW PEW PEW" "well fuck Luke, let's blow that up."

At no point does NWH ever do this. There are a few smoothing over points of "this thing from previous we're going to set aside because we only have 2 hrs here" but otherwise everything from previous movies and in the movie itself all matters.
It took you that long? My eyes rolled so hard I almost had an aneurysm when the Millennium Falcon just happened to be sitting there when Rey and her buck needed to escape.

Sorry to burst in but I got nowhere else to dump this, possibly the rarest Mike. Happy new year lads.View attachment 2849814View attachment 2849817
Alexis Meyer can get it. Damn.
 
Yeesh. I'd forgotten how ugly and awkward everybody looks in their teens. It's like everyone's forehead is full size but the rest of their face hasn't caught up yet. Also, what's the deal with Jason McArthur (the black dude)? He looks like he's 40. Is he a teacher? I know blacks age faster but they still shouldn't have eyebags when they're teenagers...
In Mike's case it's also just an unusually unflattering picture, in the second he looks like an everyday normie. He got a particularly bad haircut and clearly doesn't know what face to put on for the camera. Presumably that's the deal with most of them.
 
or covert about its meta bullshit?
Oh no, they shove the Meta Bullshit in your face like a Tranny does their festering axe wound.

Its one of the Witkowski's being mad Jupiter Ascending didn't do well and thinking that nothing new can be made since all their movies after the matrix bombed
Best comment on the video by the way

You see it everywhere to be fair but its more pronounced here because there is a higher concentration of spastics on the farms than a lot of other places.

I though they both made it clear it wasn't a great movie but they enjoyed it for different reasons. They didn't chimp out enough though so now you have autists spilling their spaghetti here.
don't give me that 2007 era dogshit. everyone knows RLM are tastemakers, from here on out you won't be able to talk about gremins 2 without people going "Matrix 4 did the same stuff bettah" its like when they talked about enjoying the 90s ff4 film, suddenly the idea that it sucked was wiped off line. now every redditor and social media faggot will go "le hidden gem" so yeah it should be obvious why we're mad.

there was definitely a handful of good ideas with the sequel trilogy they just all fucked up in execution. luke's apprentices tired of fighting wars and wanting to do their own thing is an idea, the finn and han stuff was pretty neat as well. The minute of Finn&poe being buddies was good and arguably if the film centered on them and the Reylo stuff was a b-plot it would have been better. obviously the falcon bit sucked as well.

I imagine if Finn&Poe weren't separated on Jaku and they ended up smuggling themselves onboard the falcon that would have been a better plot than the rey bullshit. the finding luke stuff was shit as well honestly. everyone outside of Reylo was given nothing but dogshit to work with. like i said Finn's character was a surprising highlight of the film. he had a shitload more charisma than the white chick. really sold the goofy lines given, "we'll use the force" had more earnestness than the rest of the ST combined. it didn't matter if it was a set up for jokes.

and you knew they knew what people wanted because the trailer didn't have the snark we got in the films. imagnie the box office if TLJ had the yo-momma joke in the trailer.

The writing could have been tightened up, yes, but we also accept coincidence in movies in the interest of saving time. I mean even the first film had Obi-Wan just happening to come across Luke being mugged.

Han's on screen arrival was rough though. Instead of the dumb "it can be tracked" shit he should have already been on the planet searching for his baby with Rey & Finn getting swept up in his adventure.

There are several moments you can tell JJ had a scene in mind for the trailer and then wrote around making that scene happen. (Rian even worse.)

Wasn't R2 heading for Obi-Wan's house, though, and Luke was following him? It's not impossible that Obi-John Shinobi would be nearby when Keith Partridge got attacked. That's certainly more plausible than Rey Palpatine just happening to come across the Falcon while running from Han Solo's evil son while Han just happens to be in orbit when they flee.

Yeah, that's what I mean by the writing needing some extra work. (Though how did R2 know where Kenobi lived? Etc) Most TFA put in is that Rey worked in a junkyard so sure, old junked ship is in there. The worst is Rey just happening to find the droid everyone is hunting for from a random dude. If the seller had brought BB8 to Rey's junkyard (because that's where you convert droids into cash) it would have fit better. They at least explained that BB8 was sold out by the junkyard owner which is why the tie fighters show up.

That's all still more work than the giant superweapon got which literally just appeared in the film without even a fig leaf of explanation.

My only issue with the current state of Best of the Worst is that it's gotten too long.

Every episode doesn't need to be and hour and a half.
Yeah, I miss when it was only the Christmas and Halloween specials that would go over an hour. And even then they'd only be a little bit over an hour as opposed to ninety minutes.
