What are the options for "JW-affiliated charities and foundations"?

Let me guess... You're the chairman, and I should write the check in your name.

So is Mick actually Gia under a false name?

I hated the score to Rogue One so much that I donated 50 bucks to them last month.

See, this is why they need your donation! They weren't able to prevent Mick from doing Skeleton Crew. How can they hope to hire good lobbyists to work with Lucasfilm execs without money?

[Rachael Foley 10,160]

Is Thomas Newman a inside man for the foundation?

Any charity or foundation, such as the Shoah Foundation, that The Maestro has given generously to, or otherwise supported, in the past.

No one can convince me this wasn't done by AI. Disney just asked ChatGPT to create a poster for their movie and voilá, no need to spend money with designers.

 

Does it look very different from any other "Big Heads on Poster" posters from the last 20 years? Are you saying that everything before AI was fine?

Movie posters have been awful for awhile now. Long before Gen AI slop. 
 

 

 

Yeah, what he said.

No, just faker.

As Bilbo said, posters have been mostly horrible for a while now. This one has an additional layer of "fakeness" to it that screams AI.

[Jay 46,239]

Some footage fro the trailer that will be attached to Avatar 3 tomorrow is online

 

 

[Luke Skywalker 2,379]

That gladiator arena gives me "bounty hunter" videgoame vibes for the similar location.

[Gabriel Bezerra 775]

The only thing my session had was an movie-themed 10 second countdown to the movie (it was IMAX)... to my distaste after the already baffling Avengers teaser. I just wanted to see the blue cat people...

[Edmilson 12,370]

It gave me some Thor: Ragnarok vibes.

[Jay 46,239]

Superb Owl spot

 

 

 

[Xander Harris 9,665]

I jokingly said aloud, is that a Tonton? I was joking. And…it turned out to be Tontons. How embarrassing.

[Luke Skywalker 2,379]

Weird footage

 

 

Still, i dont see those Owls you mention Jay! :lol:

Tintin not Tonton- er.... wait....

Ton-Ton

 

Now, serioulsy, it's "Taun taun"

 

I feel im in a lame joke fit today...

 

 

[Xander Harris 9,665]

I still remember in the SNES Empire Strikes Back game, the dying Tonton animation (you could kill it yourself) perfectly recreated that part of the movie. 

[Andy 7,713]

I thought the film smelled bad on the outside. 

[Mr. Hooper 8,927]

Fills me with dread.

[Xander Harris 9,665]

Come on, it’s new Boba Fett played by the guy who’s in everything and Baby Yoda. Doesn’t everybody love this nowadays?

[Yavar Moradi 4,400]

They did… until season 3.

It’s a play on the word, Super Bowl is copyrighted so commercials don’t use it and have to get creative with promoting it, they usually use “big game”.

[Dr. Rick 1,387]

 

But seriously, what the fuck was that?  Horrible-looking CGI.  The series took a horrible downward turn after season 2 and this movie doesn't look much better.  I'll wait to see this on D+

[BloodBoal 8,700]

Hadn't realized this was an AI-generated film.

 

Why did they need Favreau to direct this?

[Bespin Copilot 10,807]

A floating sleigh pulled by four CGI tauntauns?

My reaction:

His job was to write the prompts so that AI could generate the movie.

The whole thing was a promotional gag. None of it will actually be in the movie, except maybe for the idea of a tauntaun-drawn hover thingy.

 

Right?

That’s one way to describe what Disney’s been giving us lately...

[A. A. Ron 2,485]

I guess I'd understand if that ad had come out around Christmas.

Yes, we all know that's what this film is supposed to be, Mr. Hooper. What else is new?

What does Christmas have to do with the Budweiser Clydesdales?

It's not the Clydesdales that say Christmas, it's the fact that the Mandalorian stole Santa's sleigh.

I would quite literally be more excited about a movie headlined by Jar Jar and Dexter Jettster.  

[Edmilson 12,370]

For a long time, studios used the Super Bowl to release trailers for their blockbusters. But since this has become commonplace now, they're trying a different thing: releasing Super Bowl-themed ads for their movies. Not exactly a trailer in the common sense, just something to make waves on the internet, particularly among those who don't follow movie news and wouldn't respond that enthusiastically to a regular trailer, but would find it cute seeing on Instagram or YouTube a parody of your typical Super Bowl commercial starring Baby Yoda.

A new poster for the latest chapter in the continually unfolding Star Wars Saga.

 

Wherein I hereby repeat my previous offer of friendly wager: The Devil Wears Prada 2, which releases the same month, will have a greater worldwide box office take than fake Boba & his little green friend at the end each film's respective theatrical run.

 

In the spirit of the season, the stakes are a modest donation to any JW affiliated charity or foundation. Any takers?

 

 

VS.

 

 

May the best dressed win!

 

 

 

 

After the release of the new trailer, I'd like to once again repeat my wager offer, reposted here for the convenience of all. 

 

Any takers?

[Yavar Moradi 4,400]

I mean… the sad thing is, I don’t care enough. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That doesn't seem outside of the realm of possibility. The first DWP was a hit. The second one seems highly anticipated. 

 

Mando Movie will do well, I hope. But it isn't budgeted as a STAR WARS movie.

 

Neither of them are Project Hail Mary, so at the moment I don't care.

[Rachael Foley 10,160]

Typical. He's probably going to watch Andor for the 80th time.

I'd like to make a counter offer:

 

At the rate things are going, we will eventually get a The Mandalorian Wears Prada film.

 

You heard it from me first.

[Jill Sandwich 11,162]

But isn't one from Disney and the other from 20th Century Fox? As if those two studios would ever collaborate, huh?

[Nick1Ø66 8,320]

DWP2 gonna get those Barbie bucks.

 

And the first one was more entertaining than anything Star Wars has done post-ROTJ.

 

Serious question: Is Stars Wars still a thing?
