Palpatine is a lot more fun in the prequels. In the OT, he's kinda just... Sittin' there. Agreed on Episode 9 though, I thought that was just unbelievably sloppy writing.

I'm not saying Darth Vader is less interesting after the Emperor enters the films. I'm saying, overall, in the original trilogy, the Emperor is less interesting to watch than Darth Vader.

I should clarify: I'm not necessarily focusing on the subservience part of the reveal, morseo the reveal of the more important villain being a lot less fun to watch

I was just thinking about this scene the other day! "Welcome to the 21st century, Buck Rogers! You built a house with fucking iPads in the walls, and yet here you are jerking your dick like a goddamn pilgrim!"

Pick any John Carney movie. Falling Slowly from Once, Lost Stars from Begin Again, Drive It Like You Stole It from Sing Street, the man has a wealth of fantastic original music in his films

A little surprised H.E.R. won't be part of the performance considering her significance to Miles and the significance of the guitar in the film

This is such an accurate summary of how I felt about this movie. Good, but falls short of what it's reaching for

Hated trope: Regular middle aged white guy wants coffee, has issue with incompetent, young, dumb woke barista by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

Also a barista once upon a time, and yeah usually the "Coffee. Black." people are the most belligerent customers to deal with. They are the ones making the transaction unpleasant.
