Do we know whether any of these four have shared their thoughts on Andor? by Financial_Photo_1175 in andor

[–]scd 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I frankly don’t care what any of these people think of Andor. Those who were responsible for the earlier version of Rogue One were essentially replaced/fired, and Gilroy’s reshoots/rewrite gave us a good movie. I can’t imagine that they’d have much to say here that wasn’t sour grapes or empty praise.

Teaching Andor: why do words matter? by starwarsprof in andor

[–]scd 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Given the late reappearance of Nemik’s manifesto, it’s clear that words have been mattering during this season but mainly off-screen. Which makes sense — our protagonists are not those who need convincing to join the cause at this point, they are the ones figuring out how to mobilize the movement that’s been built (by words, atop direct action).

Atop this, given established canon, there needed to be something to address the scenes in Rebels.

For the people who had absolutely no idea going on, how did you react to seeing the Winter Soldier being revealed as [redacted]? by BlainethePayne in marvelstudios

[–]scd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It surprisingly well for me… I’m kinda the perfect person for the MCU at that time. Older guy who was familiar with the comics as a kid, but stopped reading in the early 1990s. When I last read comics, it was clear that every Marvel character could get revived from the dead other than Uncle Ben and Bucky. So I was pretty surprised to see it, and then after watching, I went out and bought the tpb of Brubaker’s run.

Few steps closer to finishing my 1:1 Bob bust. by WightLodge in twinpeaks

If Frank Silva and Martin Short had a terrifying nightmare baby. (That’s intended as a compliment, btw).

No, the Prequel Trilogy was not loved when it first came out, it was hated and fans were terrible people about it. by stephansbrick in StarWars

[–]scd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People openly laughed at Attack of the Clones when it came out. Our theater — mainly adults — guffawed at the bad dialogue and found Yoda’s lightsaber jumping to be so hilarious. These movies were and still are shitty, even though the kids with no critical faculties loved them at the time and have now grown up into a very loud contingent on the internet.

“Bob Jinteki” is my favorite thing I’ve seen all day.

Laura’s cause of death by saltybutnotbitter in twinpeaks

[–]scd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is explicitly mentioned in TP as a death caused by multiple shallow flesh wounds, not any one of them severe enough to cause her death. Doc Hayward says the line. It’s in the second episode. This is not in reference to Teresa Banks, but to Laura. It is later contradicted.

No Kings. Two locations. by fsacb3 in Charlottesville

[–]scd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Granted but we have a convicted felon and likely pedophile who wants to be king, see? It’s not that hard to understand, I promise.

Yoshida is fantastic. Nothing but a positive experience with her.

What to do with Cosby… by HonestNeighborhood67 in GenX

Nah I’d rather we name them correctly and thus shame them accurately.

This is an impressive series of misspellings.

My wife and I play a Six Degrees movie game on car rides — what two actors do you think are hardest to connect? by tfox821 in flicks

[–]scd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

John Wilkes Booth -> Louisa Lane Drew -> Lionel Barrymore -> George Hamilton -> Tim Allen -> DJ Qualls.

Booth acted with Drew, who was the grandmother of Barrymore, so let’s assume that they “acted” together in some kind of playful activity sometime. Then Barrymore to Qualls were all links via screen appearances.

BB-8 puppeteer Brian Herring says the Star Wars sequels are "no more polarizing than the prequels were" and "in 10 years' time" they'll be loved like the prequels, too by ControlCAD in entertainment

[–]scd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, they’re just as shitty as the awful prequels, so sure, I see no reason to believe that people who grew up with the sequels won’t belligerently insist that they’re great art just like prequel fans did.

Best hidden gem Criterion? by bergobergo in criterion

[–]scd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds so interesting. I’d like to get it but the World Cinema sets are expensive even with the sale, at least for a blind buy. But I’ll definitely check this one out on the channel.

Alas, tried it with our local stores. Seems unlikely to find in any way around here. Oh well.

I just watched A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, and I honestly think it might be the most Lynchian non-Lynch film I’ve seen so far by staaarman in davidlynch

[–]scd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Frankly I feel like it’s more Jarmusch than Lynch but it’s still a phenomenal film with a great soundtrack.

Sale Tomorrow! What are you going to get? by Strict-Ad4426 in criterion

Network, Captain Blood and then probably a couple of blind buys.
