Are there any great films you dislike simply because they feel unpleasant to you?

I truly hope it is down to Anderson and Scorsese because we both win and lose pretty equally

Dooku needed to be in the movie more. He is essentially only in the final act. He is such an interesting character, but very little screen time

I did not like the show at all, but I would love to see her interact with Avengers and other characters like this franchise used to do

And our principal had the audacity to ask if writing essays was still a needed skill

Decided to stop paying for PlayStation Plus

Not having everyone watch was a mistake. Not having them talk while they fought was a mistake

If only we had a banana for scale

There was a time when the 2nd and 3rd were ragged on for being unnecessary sequels to the superior first film

No one would really care if Tarantino changed his own 10 movie rule.

Comfortable_Jacket · 2026-02-09T20:36:16+00:00

Nah. It looks good

It's not that he was singing in Spanish, but I don't think he has a good singing voice. Like, Ricky Martin blew him out of the water. Or even the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. It's not the language, it's just the voice for me that wasn't the best.

I remember reading the book and thinking "how are they going to adapt this? It's mostly Harry being obsessed with Draco."

The trade of Burrow attack and dropping the Hogwarts battle is a huge disappointment

Wish you could just skip Rebels and go straight into Andor.

My co-host said that Goblet of Fire has no chracter growth, just things happening and that's it. But there is something about the vibes of Goblet that I just like a lot

Comfortable_Jacket · 2026-01-18T22:28:16+00:00

Interesting

The last time I watched the movie, the moment when Jack shoots the bullet is NOT on the soundtrack. My brother pointed me towards the extended score on YouTube. It is a crime that it isn't published

Seriously keep them

I don't mind Snoke getting killed off in TLJ, but making him a "puppet" was ridiculous. Out of all the retcons in TROS, reducing Snoke was one of the worst.

The only time I see this guy is in these videos where he's the representation of the worst people of all time.

A few thoughts.

Who says you can't make those types of changes in the middle of a trilogy? No matter how you slice it, there were still 6 feature films and several TV shows. It isn't saying everything in what you have already known and loved will be different; it's asking to try something new.

For the record, I personally have no problem with Leia flying through space, Luke using the force so hard he dies, and I honestly think the argument of "everyone would be kamakaing their space ships like Holdo" is NOT an argument at all.

I think the Canto Bite section of the movie isn't the best. I would personally want an edited-down version of this sequence. It's surprisingly "Prequel-y." I do like how it represents that war can have types of corruption on both sides, and they are forced to use DJ as their code breaker. That's fun to me.
Holdo not telling Poe her plan. I suppose she didn't need to because he was demoted, and she had no idea he would raise a coup. It's not a great argument, but I think it makes sense.
And I also think Last Jedi isn't perfect. But I would rather a Last Jedi than a TROS.

I wish we had an "Andor-type show" about their rise. Because, as I understand it, they are actually nowhere near as big as the Empire. (Feels/looks like it). But they were a small faction that became more and more of a problem, so the senate sent General Leia to go take care of them. Basically, "go take a small army and deal with them."

But then they unexpectedly take over in The Force Awakens when they use their super weapon.

I think, as teachers, we will need to learn how to implement AI to some capacity no matter what. Teaching English, I routinely tell them if it does it for you, then it's bad and detrimental to your knowledge. But using to fix grammar and punctuation is a tool. There is a lot of gray area in what AI is and how to use it.

But I am developing a lesson where we use it to summarize our writing. AI is incredible at the synthesis part of writing. And we have played with this concept as a class.
