The Hunnam character was both Han and Lando. I don't know why "slow motion hay fever" was the funniest thing I've ever heard.

He was also that random jackass on Canto Bight played by Benecio Del Toro. Turns out "Han Solo but he's an asshole" isn't the freshest take

[@Luminousreign]

Star Wars characters are all based on pre-existing archetypes, and they all have a narrow moral window because of it. That is why you get changes like Han not shooting first, because the archetype being used isn’t morally grey so it is the “wrong” character decision. Treating the Star Wars characters like the archetype themselves is goofy. Of course you are going to be able to match them up with characters from other things.

Someone should’ve told Zach that Star Wars didn’t just pop up out of nowhere. George was influenced by early 20th century Flash Gordon serials, Japanese Samurai films, greek epics and the politics of his time .instead of doing a Star Wars based on Star Wars, why not take George’s source pool to make something new.

[@MichaelTrice-ratops]

Sure. But maybe also tell him about the role of space and ships in "Star" wars.

[@jacktadash]

It's true of so many great pieces of media. Final fantasy 9 is my favourite thing ever and it is in fact the culmination of the previous 8 titles in a sort of greatest hits for the creator to go out on. But it was my first video game so to me it will always feel original. I don't want ff9 2 or remake though, I want a team who cares about the series and make a game with the same tone as the series had up until 10. 10 didn't have the original team but it slapped so it can be done.

So WB pays Zaslav around 100 million a year to save them some money? Seems like there's a very obvious cost-cutting measure right in front of them.

[@FreddyMacT]

40:20 See that's my biggest issue with Snyder. Sure he can't really write good stories or characters on his own, but it's that anecdote that should bother people. I thought it was a cool idea in another movie/story, but I didn't get to do it, now I'll jam it into another story whether it fits or doesn't. He seems like a child playing with lego's and it's cool when a kid has an imagination and gets to create his own stories, but he's selling this to adults, specifically thinking about the guy that has sex with a space squid.

[@BSRJR]

Re: The Johnny Carson joke. He was considered at the time to be the greatest entertainer that’s always effortlessly topping himself. And he also had a penchant for weird (for the time) out of left field gags. The car lifting, I took as an absurd exaggeration on that.

[@normalgraham]

Also he was a frail old dude so lifting a car was pretty out of left field. To be totally honest I had never questioned the logic of Johnny Carson lifting a car until now

[@PhillipRottingham]

According to the writers they were originally going to have Johnny Carson move in with the Simpsons and mooch off them but Carson didn't like it so they changed it to that instead.

[@LlanoRiverBlue]

Thank you for giving voice to the weird feeling I was left with after watching Rebel Moon 2. It was such an odd mix of montage, exposition, and battle sequence, like Zack heard the adage "show don't tell" and ran in the other direction.

I think OUATOH was a unique masterpiece. I so hope he keeps going after number 10. I gotta say, Kill Bill is considered one movie because he filmed both parts together. It was one production where he shot one story. He was just fortunate enough to have the backing of the studio to let him cut it up, as I'm sure the financial repercussions of that was helpful to them as well.

James put it best, small changes would make this movie so much better. Like the imperials being space pirates or making the grain something more important.

You know, films are usually supposed to actually say something. Sure, they’re supposed to have good stories too, but the stories are good because they say something. Something about the human experience, conditions of life, existential thought of the universe around them, politics of the time - something. Rebel Moon is what happens when you ask the type of person who prefers the action over the philosophy in the Matrix films, to make their own Star Wars. There is no substance, no message, no thought to leave you on. You’re just supposed to point at the slow motion action with your jaw dropped like you’re some Wojack. You have filmmakers like Gareth Edwards, who have actually made a Star Wars film, struggling with budget to make another sci-fi. Meanwhile, because of a mix of paid-for-Twitter bots and the most insufferable types of diehard fans, Zach Snyder can just be given hundreds of millions of dollars to make this fucking shit. I know Netflix’s head of film said that Netflix will "improve the quality" of its movie releases and produce a "wide spectrum of films" at different budget levels, but they should’ve made that decision before greenlighting this and the previous film. Therefore we could’ve had $100 million dollars go to a wide spectrum of quality films that vary in budget.

[@THAMAINMAN2025]

Thank you for keeping me sane. F Hack Snyder.

[@saltoftheegg]

everyone's gonna hate this but he's making movies for fascists. His audience is the kind of guys who would have stormed the capital on January 6 but they couldn't get a ride because they got into a fight with their mom. He's making exactly the kinds of movies that cater to the anti-woke crowd and to be successful with them, you have to have a completely twisted view of the world and what has value. To them, the pure masculine power of a slow-motion action scene will always be a million times better than anything like an interesting character arc because it represents the things they find the most important, power, status, masculinity, looking cool, maintaining the status quo.

Indiana Jones recasting! I did a thought experiment with a couple friends after seeing Dial of Destiny. My thought was recasting for each decade, for new trilogies, keeping Indy's adventure alive and in the WW2 era (give or take a few years). 1990s: • Proved his gritty, no nonsense, cold blooded ability in Platoon. • Lightened up, with his quick witted, wise, different kind of veteran in Major League. • He bridged that gap, as a smart, intellectual outdoorsman, outthinking his antagonist in Shoot to Kill. Tom Berenger would be a great Indiana Jones moving forward in the 1990s. 2000s: • Moral, smart, working man from the depression in Of Mice and Men. • A natural leader that fought his demons and disability, becoming a different kind of leader after his own personal reconciliation in Forrest Gump. • Gave an understated, calculated and evil performance in Ransom. The 45 year old Gary Sinise could have been a great fit for Indiana Jones 3rd Trilogy entering the new millennium. 2010s: • Played smart and unpredictable in 1998's Sphere. • Bent the rules as a somewhat sarcastic, coldblooded agent, John Clark in The Sum of All Fears. • Commanding screen presences as a respectable politician in the remakes of: The Manchurian Candidate and The Omen. Liev Schrieber's deep voice and cool confidence would be a different, but ready for action Indiana Jones for the 2010s. 2020s: • Sweet, innocent, soft spoken, but driven puzzle solver in David Fincher's Zodiac. • Intelligent and intense fighting for good in Prisoners. • Intelligent and intense as a psychopath in Nightcrawler. • Quick-witted and naturally charming in real life. Jake Gyllenhaal would be the closest to Harrison Ford, going forward in a new Indiana Jones Trilogy.

This is his trap to get us to go through another ultimately tedious trilogy with an unsatisfying conclusion. Those folks with the clover tattoos will also be involved. Maybe his daughter has been dead all along, and she’s the one working with Haley Joel Osment as a mole, because her dad can see dead people, too, maybe with some caveats.
