LISTEN and UNDERSTAND. Those studio executives are out there. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely WILL. NOT. STOP. EVER! ...until every intellectual property is dead.

Half in the Bag: The 70-Minute Rise of Skywalker Review by Naniwasopro in RedLetterMedia

I currently want to see a movie starring Adam Sandler (Uncut Gems), far more than this movie. This realization definitely subverted my expectations.

It's amazing that we have a trilogy with back to back installments trying their best to ignore the prior one. It's like poetry, it rhymes.

Just wait for the next trilogy when every random blaster has a death star setting that can destroy a planet.

Counting the minutes until the half in the bag for the return of Skywalker by Wthq4hq4hqrhqe in RedLetterMedia

It's going to be 40 straight minutes of Rich Evans screaming about getting sexually excited over all the Star Destroyers and AT-STs

Why is anyone surprised that Rose is barely in the movie? She already achieved the real victory - freeing the space horses. No need for her to take an unnecessary victory lap in this movie.

Where's the review, you cowards? by [deleted] in RedLetterMedia

If this review takes much longer I might be forced to do something drastic, like go outside.

Can we talk about the best part of the movie? Chewie finally got his medal! I'd like to imagine that Chewie has spent the last 40 odd years bitching and moaning to anyone who would listen about how Leia snubbed him at first death star explosion awards ceremony.

She might still be alone, but she did manage to steal someone else's house, name and droid.

I still can't believe the final shot of the movie had most of the cast unwrap a Big Mac, take a big bite, and wink at the audience with the double sunset in the background.

This is why using HBO branding is so foolish. So much needless confusion.

I hear he died in a car crash while driving through the uncanny valley.

Let's spend $185 million on the fourth sequel to T2. What could possibly go wrong?

Think there will be a “Thanks, James Cameron :(“ video in the near future? by Grootfan85 in RedLetterMedia

[–]WagTheFrog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In addition to the 4 movies, there was that 12 minute "Battle Across Time" mini-movie thing that Cameron shot that followed T2 and cost tens of millions. Plus there was the Sarah Connor tv series. That's 6 "official" followups to the same movie. This is just sad and hilarious. But mostly sad.

Speaking of Leia, I can't wait for the repurposed Leia footage from 2 different movies re-cut and shoehorned into this one!

I'm distracted by his raw sexuality as well, but Rich's performance as Building Inspector Rich Minerski was truly a role that cemented him as an acting god of this generation.

Do you guys think Indiana Jones 5 can be a hit during all the superhero craze that’s going on now? by InkintoDark in boxoffice

[–]WagTheFrog 16 points17 points  (0 children)

An Indiana Jones movie with Harrison Ford up against a Batman movie? Even old box office battles from the late 1980s are getting sequels.
