I remember the comic
I had no idea it was DLC for a Lego Star Wars game. Blagh
Also "The Phantom Limb"? They really were going all out on the MGS V parody, huh?

To be fair he was only really whinny in AOTC. A pack of sand people raped and killed his mother. By ROTS he just said fuck it after his internal despair and joins the dark side. Darth Vader in the OT still kicks ass.
imo Fisher's voice was very nasally and somewhat gravelly in TFA, probably due to the years of drug abuse and cigarette smoking. Mark's voice got gravely because of smoking too, but Carrie was 5 years younger than Mark. Hamill and Ford were just better off health-wise than Fisher was by the time they started shooting TFA. It's just sad seeing them be so much older and seeing their characters be much worse off than they were 30 years earlier. And then everyone died. The End.
100% agreed. Hell Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out in 2008 and the whole joke of that movie was Harrison Ford was too old to be playing Indiana Jones still (now that motherfucker is playing him AGAIN in 2023, 15 fucking years since the last movie! He's older than Sean Connery was in The Last Crusade!)
By 2015 it was way too damn late, except for a small cameo or something to pass the torch to the new cast, which they didn't do because they're absolute retards. Late 90s - late 2000s would have been perfect for a sequel trilogy. Too bad George didn't want one because he knew the story ended after ROTJ and anything afterwards would have just been completely unnecessary.
JJ and Kojima are buddies. I'm pretty sure 3PO's arm is a reference to MGS V now that I think about it. JJ spends more time figuring out how to hang out with his friends while making movies than telling a coherent story.
I totally forgot that Lego made a TFA game considering TFA barely had a plot and the set pieces in the movie completely sucked. At least they waited for the prequels to end before making a game out of them.

I'm getting really sick and tired of this bug.
Anakin also makes for better memes unlike anything in the disney sequels.
A shame r/prequelmemes just became another den for Filoni Wars, F. Rebels and Disney+ shilling.
Instead sequel memes are just taking out of context screencaps and adding some mundane facebook shit over the top of it in a twitter style format.
Its the kind of thing which doesn't even pass as a star wars meme. Just a generic facebook mom meme that could've been done with any other screenshot from a film. There's nothing unique that can be made from them, much like everything JJ makes.
I think one of my favorite parts about Tartakovsky's Clone Wars is how it depicts Anakin's corruption and how well it meshes with the original drafts and PT novelizations (and even the supposed inconsistencies with Labyrinth of Evil actually mesh pretty well with this series too since both adapt similar instances but from different viewpoints) and doesn't stray too far from the films but still adding more content and subtext.
Anyway, Anakin is still portrayed as morally and emotionally divided, even with occasional negative outbursts, but all are balanced out by him realizing and questioning his own behavior and often apologizing and feeling regret over them, as noted during every convo he has with Kenobi and during his massacre of the techno union. He's portrayed as a morally dubious hero who wants to do better but continues to struggle with his own inner demons. And Anakin is shown to be genuinely horrified by his actions and the vague visions he sees of what he might become, making it seem like its less about Padme and more about something that's taking control of him and using the things he cares about to further his corruption, taking advantage of his angers and fears, pushing him to the edge and doing some genuinely cruel shit.
Contrast this with Filoni Wars, where Anakin is just another generic swashbuckler with a douchebag grin who is nothing like the dude in any other media and rarely shows signs of internal struggle or corruption outside of a few rare instances of force choking that come out nowhere, and all so little Miss Ahsoka can get more attention and have a good role model who she can exchange quips and gay nicknames with, like "Skyguy" and "Snips". He's just fucking perfect while doing nothing to actually mesh well with the media its adapting or continuing. Most of it is just useless filler with expendable clone and throwaway deaths that's extended over six seasons to sell more Filoni Wars bedsheets and sippy cups. FFS the only death that seemed like it meant anything was the one about the broad the Obi-Wan from the show used to fuck, but she was such a huge idiot and incompetent leader that you can't even bring yourself to give a flying fuck about this dumb bitch because everything that happened was because of her own faulty decisions and self-righteous attitude. And they go to such a length to make Anakin as faultless as possible that they have to pass the blame of his fall onto a bald douchebag demon-god planting a seed of evil and mental suggestion into him in a shittier version of the scene above that throws subtlety out the window.
Only thing that makes it worse is the insufferable SnipsxSkyguy shipping faggotry and Ahsoka waifuism.

I think it was a nod to Kojimbo. He visited Bad Robot during his promo for MGSV.
@The Gangster Computer
I remember when I was a dumb 9 year old and thought Filoni Wars Anakin was better than Anakin from the movies because he didn't act weird and complain about things like being in love with Padme and missing his mom.

That makes sense. Sure there are more glaring issues with TFA than C-3PO's arm but why have 3PO act like an obnoxious fag in the scene and bring it up at all? It's not funny as a joke and it would have been better if they just didn't acknowledge it. I hate how flanderized 3PO became after the OT, but that happened to every character after the OT in some way.

Yeah you can try to say it like that all you want, but I still think that it was retarded to introduce them to this day since counts can now count as power level autism, and it comes off as a bad patch job designed solely to indicate "Hey this kid is strong with the force" but with a more 'scientific way'. It also wasn't explained that well in the film.
But yeah; Tartakovksy's take on Anakin was actually my favorite thing in the Clone Wars show, because you actually got to see him as he should've been written. A good person who was slowly falling down to his demons envy, obsession, and rage. That shit was great. Even if I didn't care for FiloniWars due to that terrible terrible made for TV movie, the portrayal of Anakin alone in it probably would've not made me like it as much since I had a superior example. Same with Grievous in it tbh.

Damon Lindelof is rumoured to be writing a Star Wars movie. (Archive)
He‘s a friend of Jar Jar Abrams who co-created Lost and co-wrote Star Trek Into Darkness so don’t expect quality.
And once again the article makes a claim that Rian Johnson’s trilogy is still happening lol

It wasn't. But that's why I don't have a problem with the concept in general. If it were better written it could be more than powerlevel shit. I don't have a problem with more scientific minded Jedi trying to quantify force power by coming up with something like counting midichlorians. The way it was used in TPM was lazy though.
meh. The question now isn't how bad will this be if it actually gets made. We know it will be bad. The question is how much worse can Star Wars possibly get?
JJ's worst contribution to Hollywood is leading the way for all his shitty friends take over almost every popular "nerd" franchise. The only friend of his who isn't a total hack is Matt Reeves.

Matt Reeves is a hack. He can just direct a movie well.
The storylines of his films are pure trash, but his direction (mostly) smoothes over the cracks and people pay attention to that over the storytelling being non-existant. The Batman is a sign of him getting even more careless with storytelling.
Cloverfield, it's found footage and just works for being entertaining.
Let the Right One In. Inferior remake of a foreign film.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Action film that gets by largely on how well the apes are done.
War for the Planet of the Apes. The bulk of the film is events unfolding without any agency from the characters. Yet Apes look good, well-directed and people didn't notice. The bad guy is defeated by a girl they randomly meet, who tags along, who walks through a giant hole in the wall of a fort to look around. Then drops a teddy bear that is infected with a virus. Then later on the bad guy see's and picks up.
The Batman is terrible. It just looks interesting. Detective Batman is Batman figuring out a few clues, but mainly just being told stuff. The bad guys plot mainly works out, doesn't fully work out because he stuffed up.

To play devil's advocate, the calendar only shows whether a particular booking is available or not, which means that there are at least some rooms available on all those dates that aren't blacked out. If there are, say, 100 rooms in total, then there's no way of knowing whether a particular booking has 10 rooms reserved or 90. All we know is that 9 out of 92 bookings from July through December are completely filled as of that screencap, and the remainder could have any number of reservations less than that. And these numbers could change at any time, as not everyone plans out their Disney vacation close to a year in advance.
That said, for the amount of money they've dumped into this shit, this is probably not the best sight to see. And if negative reception continues to get around, we might start seeing more of those blacked-out dates become available again. Too early to say for sure, but I'd suggest continuing to watch that page.
Cloverfield sucked dick and was completely overhyped. I haven't seen Let Me In. I enjoyed both of his PoTA movies but I think Dawn was stronger than War for the Planet of the Apes. As franchise revivals go they were way better than the Star Wars sequels, but that's not saying much. The Batman wasn't too bad imo. The plot needed some tweaking and it didn't need to be 3 hours long. The problem with that movie is that it came out way too soon. It's like the 3rd new Batman universe in 10 years counting Nolan's and Snyder's movies. Reeves is not the best writer but he didn't write Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which is the movie of his that I like the most.
JJ can't write or direct for shit.
Not only that, but he ruined Prometheus and fucked up Brad Bird's Tomorrowland movie, which is something that still pisses me off to this day.
I watched a snippet of WDWNT's second review of the Starcruiser. Yeah, he went back. And according to him there were repeat guests from the opening weekend. Again, there's no reason to go back or even a reason to go at all. The thing about Disney vacations now is unlike back in the old days, you almost HAVE to plan a year or so in advance if you want to get into parks like the Magic Kingdom. Gone are the days where you can buy tickets to any park you want on the day.
I don't see anyone but seriously mentally ill Disney consoomers spending 6k more than once for this. The experience will be tweaked over time and a few years from now there's no way it won't be more than a single day experience connected to the parks that you can leave from any time.

I remember something like that actually did happened. There really was a guy that was dying that got to see The Force Awakens early.
"t-that was great Mr. Abrams, but how does it all end? Does Luke help save the galaxy? Who are Rey's parents? Who is Snoke? You can tell me since I won't be around to see the- "
"i don't know and i don't fucking care either nigga lmaooo"
"Do you think I know what any of this shit means? That's not my job, that's for the stupid bastard they get to direct the next one to figure out."
"w-what?" *flatlines*
"I'm about to make 2 billion off these dumbass fanboys HAHAHAHA"

Is it really that terrible? Haven't seen it so I'm genuinely curious.
There was also one for PlanIX. I remember someone in this thread posting pics of it.
There have been better Batman movies and there have been worse Batman movies. As I said in my last post it's rough around the edges but enjoyable. It get's needlessly political and the runtime is a serious issue. Pattinson makes a better Batman than I thought and the suit looks better on screen. Alfred is barely in the movie. Catwoman's plot could have been cut down. Penguin is in the movie for some reason. Paul Dano is classic.
Other than Batman being a detective there isn't much of a hook to it. It's still too close to the TDK trilogy and Snyder's films to make a whole new Batman since DC fucked up the DCEU. And we're supposed to be getting Keaton back next year? It's too much.
I can imagine wanting to see TFA before you die because most non-galaxy brained fans had no idea it was going to be shit. I can even imagine wanting to watch TLJ if you got fooled by TFA and fooled into thinking TLJ was "supposed to explain the rest of the story ""set up"" in TFA". Not disrespecting the dead but why the fuck would you want to see Plan 9 before you die? What could you get out of it after TLJ said nothing matters?

I honestly feel like I saw a different film than those that praise it.
There's basically no characterisation and most characters do nothing. There's zero world-building or setting the stage. The dialogue is terrible and predictable, as well as the direction. It just has a cool and unique cinematography.
Detective Batman is basically just him figuring out the Riddler's clues. Which is of course as always non-sense. Or he looks directly at something or picks something up that then explains stuff to him. Most of Batman finding out stuff is people explaining things to him. Including watching a video that explains something. He then goes to speak to someone about it. They explain more. He then goes and speaks to another person who explains more an adds clarity.
You haven't seen it, so I don't want to spoil it.
Batman doesn't discover or stop the Riddler. He just follows his riddles and ends up being a stooge for him. The Riddler then reveals himself by shooting a sniper rifle from his own apartment next to where his plan brought all the cops and Batman. Revealing himself. He then runs away to a cafe where he waits to be arrested. Which was his plan all along.
The cops and Batman can go through his apartment and we can have scenes of Batman walking to a bookcase. Picking up a book and handing it to Gorden who then reads us exposition.
The cops look at the Riddlers computer and say something like, "he's got a group chat and sent them a video locked behind a password."
A short while later Batman is in the Riddler's apartment. He picks up a metal implement. Some Cop trying to make small talk, tells Batman it's a tool used in laying carpet. Batman uses his great detective skills to then rip up the carpet to find a map of the Riddler's end game plan. Right in the middle of the map is the password for the video. Batman types it in and the Riddler explains his plan to blow up the sea wall that surrounds Gotham. A seawall that was never mentioned previously in the plot. I guess it was in the matte paintings, I noticed something off once in one shot but it was over so quickly I had no clue what I was looking at.
Anyway, Batman fails to stop him from flooding the city. Then goes to save the new Mayor who we're only meant to know is good because she's a young black woman. Nothing about her was actually established. The most she did is was tell Bruce Wayne off for not being charitable and helping the city when she bumped into him at a public event.
Everything is so basic and underdeveloped.

Damn. Now you know how I feel with TFA, funny how shit like that works lol.
I agree. The movie isn't great but hey, it has the potential to be great and they can just expand on everything in the sequel
