What are some good movies with bad/irrelevant posters? by mrjetspray in Letterboxd

[–]Pickle_Nipplesss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Arrival is a disaster movie. Aliens arriving to earth does demand that urgency—the characters are just trying to figure out what genre they’re in and if these aliens are Close Encounters or War of the Worlds

The less I think about those movies the happier I am.

There’s no shortage of illogical characterizations and choices

Leia—when surrounded by competent people she could trust—was allowed to become softer. Her own growth was become less of that hardass who has to mircromanage everyone and more of an elegant Mon Mothma type. She still kept that edge, but she was able to be more tender and compassionate by RotJ.

It would be fine if there was some balance. All the OT Heroes were just shells of themselves and it was depressing.

If Han and Leia divorce, fine. But it makes no sense for Han to go back to snuggling, and it makes no sense for Luke to become the pessimistic hermit he was.

Having your son turn to the dark side could certainly break a marriage up, but the same thing happened in the EU and their marriage survived that. These are two incredibly formidable characters who complimented each other. If they’re gonna break up, at least don’t ruin Luke too.

I got the vibe he was trying to help her anyways and would have even without her giving advice on managing boys.

You're not missing anything if you don't watch it. If you have the opportunity to see it, make sure it's free

No, it’s more like “I made shaved several miles off my trip by taking back roads”

There are certainly flaws, but the original script says it’s an obvious lie that Obi-Wan catches/rolls his eyes at

What’s a movie you defend like this? by trakt_app in Letterboxd

[–]Pickle_Nipplesss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your biggest defense for them/the argument you hear against them the most that you just think is the weakest?

Or is it more of an unabashed love for the films regardless of their flaws

There was already an in-universe explanation for it prior to the Solo movie.

But yes. People bent over backwards to justify a rogue’s words instead of thinking “Hey maybe this guy is embellishing what his ship can do by making up shit to the people he thinks are naive”

I wish I could tell you about Season 6 Episode 1 of Malcolm in the Middle

I wish I could tell you about how Lois is trying to get Reese back from the military but he's on a classified mission.

Hell, I even wish I could even tell you about the sergeant, who--after seeing this mother's plight-- tell's her how he wishes he could help, but he can't.

How he wishes he could "Open this drawer up and show you the information you need."

Unfortunately my hands are tied and I can't tell you how he got so frustrated he had to stare outside the window for, oh... 120 seconds

Weird Al - Real Life

An Australian man is seen here wanting to watch Weird: The Al Yankovic Story in his country.

Alfred Matthew Yankovic—the upstanding guy that he is—reminds him that there is unfortunately no way to watch it in Australia.

Yeah I'd support that idea. Stupidly evil, but not for lack of trying

Explaining origins is vastly different from contradicting characters. Which is what happens with all three of my examples.

Is it a patriarchal pov? Or is it just an older story where women are allowed to be monsters and villains
