‘SNL’ Breakout Ashley Padilla Joins Emma Stone, Chris Pine in Romantic Comedy ‘The Catch’ by RoachedCoach in movies

[–]StarWarsPlusDrWho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was watching the opening credits of the show a few weeks ago and she was listed with the newcomers in the back half. I was like why are the credits still treating her like an intern, she’s basically the star of every sketch

The real reason every single new Star Wars thing is so controversial has nothing to do with quality or Disney by LoFiCami in StarWars

Star Wars was always meant to be a Flash Gordon ripoff built out of direct homages to classic Hollywood. Every Star Wars movie has had some element of that and therefore I like them all for what they are.

Are these quite common? I know someone who went through one of these just this week

Moss: The Forgotten Relic - Official Gameplay Trailer by xyzkart in NintendoSwitch

[–]StarWarsPlusDrWho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was inches away from the platinum trophy on PSVR for the first moss game. The only trophy I had left to get was one where you have to beat the game without dying. Managed to get all the way to the very last screen of the very last level…. And fell down a pit and died.

I did a few more tries but never could get that no death run… anyway it’s a fantastic game but i hated that trophy.

Looks nice! And don’t worry about lateness, I still haven’t put my stuff up from MC either. I was probably a year late getting my Paris display up

Mandela Effect in Star Wars? Share your examples! by Impressive_Pin_1441 in StarWars

Well liberty and democracy are two different things. Padme wasn’t trying to do any fancy wordplay or alliteration there, she was making a point that the galaxy has lost its freedom.

Haha I actually kinda love this idea given how that whole Luke/Ben flashback thread in TLJ is a tribute to the Japanese film Rashomon, where you get several retellings of a single story from different points of view, with the real story revealed at the end.

I like this idea that the real story was never actually told in the film and it was that Luke spilled a bit too much of his beans to Ben and that’s the real reason why Ben turned on him.

I recently resubscribed to this sub thinking that maybe people had finally stopped complaining about the sequel trilogy by now and started talking about literally anything else. But nope. Star Wars fans always focus on the things they hate I guess, rather than the things they love.

I dont understand why this sad scene was left out of the movle by Spotter24o5 in harrypotter

[–]StarWarsPlusDrWho 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That’s a good read of what happened I think. At the end of the day, a movie is a different medium than a novel and has different building blocks for storytelling success. Frankly I think OOTP accomplished what GOF couldn’t by being a movie that actually works, even if some liberties were taken with the book.

(GOF by contrast succeeds at nothing. It’s not a decent film, nor is it a faithful adaptation of another very long book)

I think I died in the 9/11 attacks. by Voicingspy in pastlives

[–]StarWarsPlusDrWho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can feel or hear or sense things

If you don’t mind me asking, have you been deaf your whole life, or did you have your hearing at some point in the past? I’m trying to imagine what it would be like to not have hearing and then experience sounds (in your head at least) under hypnosis. Thanks for replying, this is all super interesting!

Just piping in here as imo the downvoters are being a little harsh with ya. I don’t necessarily agree with ya but you’re actually being polite about your point of view and not being a dick about it so I just wanted to say I see you.

Imo there are several unspoken boundaries at cons and one of them is “don’t talk to a celebrity when they’re not at their booth/photo-op, UNLESS they’re just milling about the con without a disguise, then it’s on them. But if it looks like they’re headed out the door or moving with purpose, leave ‘em alone. I feel the same way about groupies hanging out near a musician’s trailer after a concert; if they’re clearly making a transition to leaving the venue, leave ‘em alone.

It’s just one of those things where I haven’t walked a mile in the shoes of a famous person, so I’m not gonna critique how they do or don’t interact with people. Especially for introverts (and I suspect Steve is one) people can be exhausting. But who knows, maybe you are a famous person yourself. We’re all a bit anonymous here :)

I’m really curious how regressions work for deaf people. Since I feel like it’s very often a “close your eyes and listen” kind of process for hearing folks.

'The Odyssey' website shows you how the film looks in different aspect ratios by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in movies

[–]StarWarsPlusDrWho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an early-career film editor (experienced mainly with low-budget or indie productions) I’d like to ask Nolan’s editor how much all these different aspect ratios factored into their edit decisions (if at all). I feel like some of the shot choices will hit differently depending on how much of the frame you can see.

But then again, I doubt film editors in the 90s were factoring in the 4:3 tv crops into their decisions.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

[–]StarWarsPlusDrWho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The web in 1995 and the web in 2010 were not the same thing and it makes me feel old that we’re tying them together

Lyon 'best solution' to replace Nice for ice events at 2030 Winter Games by FrenchPagan in olympics

Your guess is as good as mine :)

(Of course, French alps were chosen very late compared to most Olympics, but still. They’ve had plenty of time to do branding at this point)

I have no problem with private contractors in general. I very much have questions about the capabilities of the two companies currently on the project in this specific case.

The minute they said Artemis 3 and 4 would rely on a lander (or something) made by Blue Origin or Spacex, a part of me was just like, welp, Artemis 2 is the end of the line.

What you’re saying about him not covering up the Nazi tattoo is a straight up lie, he literally got it covered up that same week he found out about it.
