Kasey Kockroach 2,369 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I thought Katie McGrath's character being molested by Larry the Cable Guy was a little gratuitous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,357 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yeah. I only remember that guy taking advantage of seniors for money. And the empowering female statement at the end of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Kockroach 2,369 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 You obviously blacked out during the scene where Owen Wilson gets devoured by an anaconda. And something about how being in the jungle makes him horny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,746 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Just saw this. Wish they had taken this route instead (obviously the Leia part wouldn't have been possible): Long before J.J. Abrams came onboard to direct, “Jurassic World” filmmaker Colin Trevorrow was slated to helm “Star Wars: Episode IX” and was attached long enough to come up with some ideas for where it should go. Actor Mark Hamill has previously indicated he and Trevorrow were very much on the same page about the path laid out for the character of Luke Skywalker in the final film. Then Trevorrow was famously let go and ‘The Last Jedi’ changed the franchise’s game plan for Luke Skywalker. SPOILERS AHEAD FOR “STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI” Now, a Redditor (via CBM) claims to have some new insight and says Trevorrow fought to have Luke Skywalker remain alive in Episode IX and had big plans for Luke and Leia’s relationship which included exploring her links to the Force in a “beautiful and tragic” way. Trevorrow also apparently wanted Supreme Leader Snoke to stay alive in order to explore the villain’s backstory and so he would end the trilogy with Luke walking off into the sunset. Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy however were the ones adamant Luke die. http://www.darkhorizons.com/star-wars-trevorrow-rumors-solo-posters/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could anyone take it seriously? it makes a parody of Star Wars. I have a hunch in 20 years time it will be considered a newer "Star Wars Holiday special". Did you see The Last Jedi?

"Sounds like Kennedy has a lot of confidence in Rian Johnson!" "This one promises to be the darkest one since ESB!" I'm still very confused why people thought this was going to be a groundbreaking movie. Because an unknown (Johnson) was helming the project?

mstrox 6,939 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well, Johnson was a known quantity for both his film work (Brick and Looper, probably some others) and his television work (some of the best episodes of Breaking Bad, especially), so there was an anticipation that it would live up to those things. In my opinion, it did. Exceeded his previous movies, didn't quite reach the limits of his best Breaking Bad stuff, but that is kind of top-tier at this point. Diff'rent strokes, for diff'rent folks.

Balahkay 629 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I hadn't heard of Johnson nor unknowingly saw his work before he was signed on to write/direct TLJ. While I don't hate TLJ, it doesn't make me want to see Brick, Looper or any of Johnson's other works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,939 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I liked Brick a lot, as far as low-budget neonoir goes. I thought Looper was a neat idea with less interesting execution, but good performances from the two leads. His work on Breaking Bad was series-best, which is saying a lot with that series. However, he didn't write those episodes, just directed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 2,032 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I just realized that Leia first appears to Luke as a hologram projection from R2 in Star Wars. He last appears to her as a projection through the Force in The Last Jedi. It's like poetry, it rhymes... crumbs and 1977 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Luke and his portrayal, here's an interesting take by Rian Johnson on why this story plays out the way it does. Think he nailed it because this is exactly what I've been thinking while watching it. Karol Taikomochi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
