Bob does this thing where he says that something terrible and stupid would be good for things he doesn't like.
We know he doesn't like Villeneuve, cause Denis makes films that look gorgeous, are brooding, and epic scale. His work makes the MCU looks like a television show. I've never heard ANYONE say that those hand drawn, rotoscoped shields from the 1984 movie look better than the new shields. ESPECIALLY normies. My girl laughed when she saw them the first time.
What other "recent stuff" has shields that turn red when they're defeated? Halo or something?
On top of that, the new shields actually convey taking damage properly because of how they shift into being red. Its cost effective, and serves the story.
These guys are such contrarian idiots.
You can go and watch the Star Wars commentary tracks and listen to George explain how much he cared about showing things that had to do with lore.
What do these people think midichlorians were? Why do they think George wanted to make prequels anyway? To explain backstory...as in the lore?
Why'd he make Bioware change the time period that KOTOR took in? Why'd he make an entire television series dedicated exclusively to the clone wars?
Why'd he merchandise everything? Why have Leland chee invent a Canon system with tiers of canonicity?
On top of that, there's a lot of motive outside of story and lore that goes into the prequels.
If you look at the special features of the prequels, you'll notice that there's an enormous amount of time spent on
technology.
George was emphatic that everything he was doing would become desirable by everyone else. And he was
right.
The entire industry uses CGI for characters, Virtual sets, Non-linear editing, and Digital Cinema Cameras. Everything that George did from 1998 to 2005.
Ignoring the Lisa Simpson bit which is something Bob would never say, Moviebob's take here makes little sense.
The idea of making a movie about the making of Godfather makes sense because Italians love making things about Italians, and Hollywood loves making things about itself.
Plus, there are a few points that are apparently real, that could make a good movie.
Joe Colombo requested that the word "Mafia" be removed from the script.
Could be apocryphal, which is another thing hollywood loves.
Mafia stories are cool because the underworld is cool.
Italian organized crime has three things that work in films. Aesthetics, Culture, and the setting.
There is a lot to take from, and the crimes ranged from petty to the highest powers in society.
If anything, I think that the existence of this twitter post basically proves the point that the Mafia and Italian Americans are culturally associated.
It's amazing that Bob is like Joe Colombo. He doesn't like that the movie might represent Americans in a certain way he doesn't like because of its cultural implications.
