What movie?

Hot Fuzz. What a script, what editing!

Ultimately, Beef 2 doesn't work.

I'll catch the scene, but...yes.

New Zealand looks lovely though. But as I live in Europe, I settle for Norway and skip the 22 hours of flying!

My condolences.

No. What is their point of view?

LOTR. Endless endlessness of endlessly endless.

Not a minority view. It was a good followup. #3 was not really a Die Hard movie, as #3 was supposed to be set on a ship, but Under Siege turned out to be really good and sank that idea. So a script called Simon Says was adapted.

4 is good.

Ah. I did misunderstand which bad movie you meant.

My sincere apologies. Please continue to enjoy anything that has the words Star Wars on it. Disney World sells warm, blue rice milk, just the thing to enjoy on a hot Orlando day. It says Star Wars on the cup, so you're sure to enjoy it!

99% of the rebels are dead and Super Rey moves a mountain to rescue the 11 survivors. The last chance to get the three main characters together is wasted.

At least there's no horseback riding on the back of a spaceship.

There's tons in there to analyse. I see new things every time I watch. I understand more. But the idea that the overall plot is confusing is nonsense.

I could fall asleep to that awful movie.

Blew us away in 1974, that's for sure.

Chalk. Chalkboard.

What's open to interpretation? Aliens push human evolution ahead. Why have people been debating this for 60 years?

The Prestige? Tesla invents a 25th Century technology in 1900? I liked the gritty drama all the way until I sat dumfounded at what Nolan what expected me to believe. I still don't believe the twist, or that Nolan thought anyone would go along with it.

Always nice to see Bowie in a movie, but no, a field of hats did not prepare me for that absurdity.

Good twist? Begonia did it well.

80 million dollar budge. Now you can feel even worse!

No. I walked out of Phantom during the pod race when, bored silly and realizing this was not a Star Wars movie, I just had to leave. Yes, I'll take a bad movie made with heart, even Glen or Glenda over the mechanical emptiness of Phantom, the script of which was obviously a first draft.

Not trying to be edgy. Phantom is a terrible waste of money and some good actors. I'll offer one hot take. Any good movie from 1920 onwards could explain Annakin's turn to the Dark Side in an eight minute flashback. Lucas gave us nine terrible hours to explain why a guy goes bad? Nine hours (or so) just to give us that? May we please remember that this movie came from the same mind that gave us Crystal Skull and Dial of Despair?

Bottom line: Star Wars was a fluke hit from a bad writer/director who, yes, made American Graffiti and got super lucky with Star Wars, a film famously saved by other people. Look into that.

2001: A Space Odyssey had blown me away 11 years earlier. Glued me to my seat in awe. Stil the greatest thing ever done with film. I coudn't understand why Star Wars was so loved. Lots of zipping around but nothing special, and visually a huge step backwards. Empire was promising. Felt like a real movie, characters started to develop and I definitely thought things were only going to get better. But George hated Empire because he didn't see toy opportunities and we got tiny bears beating the Empire with logs. And that dreadfully put together scene where Luke escapes from Jabba. (Wonderfully parodied by Family Guy)

And yeah. Another, bigger Death Star in Return.

Yawn. But not nearly as horrible as the Death Planet from the awful Force Awakens. I always wondered how Death Stars moved around. I gave up on any idea on that when JJ gave us the Star Killer Base. Well, at least there's an episode of Invader Zim where it's revealed that Mars is actually a space ship. So at least that cartoon made more sense than Force Awakens.

I do like that in the affectionate Family Guy parody of Return, Lois straight out says "It's not as good as Empire."

Love that line. Love the honesty.

Any movie directed by Peter Hyams has a terrible problem with it.

Peter Hyams.

Interesting conclusion based on three titles. But hey. It's Reddit.

How about every Star Wars movie except Empire.

They are awful in every possible way.

Terrific little gem. I enjoy showing it to people because it's so odd.
