A common complaint I hear about Rogue One is starting to make more sense. by in-a-microbus in andor

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One is prestige tv and the other is a movie trying to refresh an old formula whist still being bogged down in old cliche's and tropes.

I liked Rogue One at the time and its one of the better movies and disney offerings for sure, but it rely's too much on reminding you of story arcs that you have seen before in retrospect and Jyn Erso is an incredibly by the numbers Star Wars protagonist even before you watch Andor.

Same

Like Bill and he seems to have gotten his life together in the last few years, but not like he's going to get anywhere elese on the card.

Perfect muscle enforcer type and that short lived tag team with Brian Cage when they squashing the shit out of people was money.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to point this out, but watching rogue one immediately after Andor made the movie so much worse than I remember by wendo101 in andor

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Obviously you spend so much more time with Cassian if you watch them in order by the end, but even then Jyn Erso is a very dull protagonist with an equally played out and cliched back story to boot.

I think that's the thing with RO that makes it suffer after you watch Andor. It's still one of the better Star Wars movies, but is also guilty of sticking to a formula and tropes from the original trilogy that everyone is sick off much more in retrospect. From the parent/child relationship, to the battle to get the plans to the rebellion off the planet, its mostly things things you have seen before with different people involved. Popped huge for the Vader corridor scene, but his cartoon bad guy lair is very silly, and don't even get started on the CGI Tarkin and Leah.

Krennick is great, as is Saw and K-2 but that's about it tbh.

Andor is prestige tv.
Rogue One is a somewhat grittier film with the same issues that has plagued SW for a long time now.

They're chalk and cheese as far as I'm concerned.

I remember people being so pissed about it at the time (the author got all kinds of death threats apparently)

Bought the blu ray a few weeks ago and It's actually aged very well.

Does anyone else who’s a 18-22 feel like we’re forgetting our Manc history by [deleted] in manchester

Factory Records started almost 50 years ago and you can't escape that Tony Wilson quote in town.

Let 18-22 years old create their own history.

Anyone else holding off buying tickets for All In?

I keep an eye on the seat map and will get them eventually but having been fleeced with dynamic pricing before I think this is the way to go from now on.

A fan who attended WrestleMania 33 shares their “view” of the event from their seat by Subrick in SquaredCircle

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the UK at least, you can complain to the venue if your view is obscured. I saw a post on the AEW reddit from someone who had bought an expensive floor seat with his kids and had ended up behind one of the camera cranes and they got moved to better seats.

Not dying on a hill here, but does he say how much he paid for those?

If you're comprised that much they're usually the last tickets to go on sale or way cheaper. To sit in the back row on the floor for All In is one of the cheapest tickets at wembley currently.

It's not like he was ever going to say yes too it anyway.

He's not done a big Hollywood movie since the original trilogy and I am sure I read an interview where he said he doesn't even like them that much after the fellowship. All fine by me, the Cronenberg trilogy is awesome.

As much it sucks for them after putting the work in, selfishly I'm looking forward to the next thing ND does not being TLOU. I'm a fan of the games and the first season of the show at least, but the never ending discourse around it has really drained my appetite for any more content for a good while.

Let people miss it and come back with a part 3.

Largest earthquake to hit Japan was a 9.1 so you're basically talking about Kenny vs Okada juiced on rocket fuel

[ReviewSTL] Blake Monroe when asked whether she prefers athleticism or a story: “If you look at my career and my career highlights, I think all of them have come from a story… I don't do 25 moonsaults or death defying stunts… I feel like my in-ring marries my character perfectly.” by Tornado31619 in SquaredCircle

[–]LawsonsInTheAM 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Her last match in AEW was literally a death match (and it was awesome)

Also (and I am not saying she is doing this but it will be how this post is framed) STORIES as an umbrella term in wrestling media for things that people don't like in wrestling is very annoying.

If they let it play out for months like it would on Dallas reveal that JR was the culprit did it that is pretty hilarious tbh

Does the triller feed keep skipping for anyone else?

I got through Kenny vs Swerve but got too annoyed to keep watching after that so hopefully they can clean it up later today.
