  1. When a shocking reveal happens in a 1930s movie: No music. Just eerie silence.

    He's too young for me to find him attractive, but I think he was good in Call me by your name. And I like that girls now seem to go more for guys like he or Harry Styles who don't try so hard to be all macho. At least it destroys arguments of all those "What happened to manly men???" jerks.

    Young girls have always gone for the soft, non threatening, pretty types:  Beatles, David Cassidy, Justin Bieber. There's this funny term online called "twink death" when a male celebrity gets old and loses their youthful male beauty.

    I still don’t get why he was the first big SNL star. I’d rather have John Belushi and Gilda Radner back instead of him.

    I think why Chevy broke out back then was he looked like a normal good looking leading man but would unexpectedly be goofy and say silly things with a straight face and that made it more funny. It's basically Ryan Reynolds whole thing now. As he got older though Chase's looks started to go and instead of this young guy being charmingly odd it was now this old man being confused and his shtick didn't work anymore.

  4. I think you can tell that story but for one movie as an epilogue. That's what Lucas intended in his original handwritten outline for 12 movies. Fans though wanted and expected another trilogy.

  5. Lucas' decision to make Darth Vader Luke's father(which was late in the TESB screenwriting process), while elevating the movie and the original trilogy as a whole would artistically doom the prequels. It would have been much easier for Lucas to write a story about a friendship of two good guys where one of then is killed by the other's student who was already evil(as Lucas had originally planned) then it is a to write a good guy who turns evil and betrays everyone he loves. Someone with far better skills as a dramatic writer could pull it off but not Lucas. Similarly the decision to kill the Emperor and have the Empire defeated in the third movie would negatively effect the sequels. Lucas originally planned to do that after another trilogy but the movies turned out to be so time consuming and expensive to make that he just wanted to finish the trilogy. Once you defeat the main villain and the good guys win the story is basically over. There's nowhere to go.

  6. Seeing unhappy people now hating Jon's return in Twitter say he popularized the "both sides are the same" mentality that has ruined politics now and I'm like did they even watch TDS when Jon hosted? There was never an episode where the majority of Republicans was not shown to be almost cartoonishly evil in both motive and executing their agenda. They were clearly the worst of the 2 parties. If holding Democrats accountable for not living up to their voters standards and wanting them to be better is "whataboutism" then I'm on Jon's side.

    It reminds me of a Simpsons quote: so you want a realistic, down to earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?

    They would if he was supposed to be portraying a 30 year old Luke Skywalker.  It was either cast a new actor (which probably would have been fine) or use the magic of CGI.

    Or shoot him from behind and not show his face like Jesus in Ben Hur! 😂

    Andor was connected to Rogue one but even that was relatively new and it was only like one character from Rogue one who was in that show. Like I said I think my favourite thing Filoni did was Mando season 1, just a bunch of new characters and locations and it was really good. But by season 2 we got to see more characters from other stories show up which was topped off with literally The Mandalorian meets Luke Skywalker. 

    I love The Mandalorian season 1 but to say it was all new is laughable. You had Boba Fett looking armor, Ugnaughts, a robot like IG-88 a baby version of Yoda, Jawas, Imperial stormtroopers  scout walkers, X-Wings etc. It was all familiar stuff to old Star Wars fans. Now for a lot of younger viewers who've never seen tne classic trilogy the show is their first Star Wars experience and all that stuff is new to them along with the characters that appear in season 2. For older fans though they know they appeared in other shows and resent being left out because they chose not to watch them. Also people wouldn't have a problem with seeing Luke if it was Mark Hamill without any digital effects and uncanny valley.

    I saw this yesterday and it was a pretty big "meh" for me. The first season of The Mandalorian was great but nothing he has been connected with since then has really come close to to being that good. The following seasons were just too connected to the true ruler of Mandalore and other crap I don't really care about. And Ahsoka was even worse about being about stuff I don't care about (plus it being all set up). And Boba Fett was just dumb. Meanwhile Andor was awesome and even the Obi-wan show was solid. I am not really too excited for the Mando-time movie and I expect any further movies he is in charge of will just be about some obscure comic book or cartoon character.

    It's weird the lesson that Lucasfilm should have learned from Mando season 1 is new characters and stories can be really good. But it seemed since then they have like doubled down on making sure new stuff is connected to old stuff.

    I loved Clone Wars and Rebels and most of AHSOKA so I'm happy. People say they don't want anything connected to the old stuff but Andor was connected to Rogue One! Ray Stevenson played a new character who didn't appear before in the animated shows and fans who didn't watch them agree he was one of the best things about AHSOKA. Shin Hati already has her fans and she's new too. So I think Filoni can come up with new things that people who only watch live action will like.  I just think wanting new Star Wars that doesn't reference anything at all is ridiculous. Like it or not there is now a canon history considering of hundreds hours of stories. Yeah fans say they want the simplicity of the first movie but what they really miss when it all seemed fresh and new. The irony is the story and archetypes were as old as humanity, it's just the setting and aesthetic was new.

  11. I swear though, there are people online that think any depiction of Charles and co at Balmoral that's not them popping champagne and laughing "Our plan worked!" is somehow Royal propaganda!
