  1. I'm scared now. A Thor endorsement is usually not a good sign. freezing

    This is a rare thing for me; I'm really looking forward to hearing this! Can't remember the last time I was this excited about an upcoming score.

    Can't wait to hear it on album, to see if the music holds up as well as it did in the film. Plenty of stretches where it was buried a bit too much in the mix.
    I am extremely serious.

    I'm totally in the same boat. All the signs are pointing towards it being really good (Thor jokes aside), and I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd ever get to hear a John Williams/John Powell collaboration on a Star Wars score. I mean come on, that just sounds like film score fanfiction! And yet it's real!? (Surely too late to replace them with Lorne Balfe now...surely...?)

    a lot of it was excellent, some of it was cliched, but, let's be honest, the real star here was Horner's danger theme.

    Solo

    I really can't summon up strong feelings about this movie positively or negatively. The best thing I can say is that it made me appreciate THE LAST JEDI even more than I already did. I really want to rewatch that film soon.

  5. Genuine question - how did you feel about The Last Jedi as a conservative? There are a few... new thoughts this film explores.

    Also, if anyone is in any way offended or shocked about a certain character in Solo, it is a parody, not to be taken seriously.

  6. You mean this animals rights thing and the war profiteers from the B story? I think the implementation felt forced. That was my main issue with it. So my beef is with the story telling, not with the subjects themselves.

    there was only one moment in the film that left a bad taste, politically, in my mouth, where Finn says, "it was worth it to smash up that place" after they fail to retrieve the codebreaker yet leave the Casino in ruins. I think it represents the kind of anarchic, destructive "rebellion" that does no good for anyone, that Star Wars has in many ways avoided.

    generally, it doesn't really bother me if a movie has characters that express ideas I may or may not agree entirely with. I don't buy into the "SJWS RUINED STAR WARRS!!!!" hype

    not to mention I am baffled by the conservative friends of mine who bash "snowflakes" while whining about every small thing they don't like in movies

    A more conservative friend of mine was angry at a scene where Admiral Holdo endured mansplaining from Poe. On my forum she has the nickname "Admiral Gender Studies". In fact, I also read about at least a miniboycott of the film from some conservative groups.

  8. I believe conservative groups in the US are not in favour of Disney in general.

    the whole hollywood-bashing is boring to me. There’s much bigger problems in the world than what a character says in a movie.

    Which is odd when you consider how much that company has done to reinforce heteronormative ideals. Not exactly radical in their storytelling, Disney.

    I had to google heteronormative. dizzy I like one of the urban dictionary definitions of this word:

    Heteronormative
    A weasel word that sodomites & sodomite-enabling academics use to try and undermine normal human society in order to propagate faggotry & the sodomite culture. "Heteronormative" doesn't exist, it's just called "normal".
    Did that liberal faggot seriously just say that the sky is forest green because to acknowledge the color "blue" is framing nature in a heteronormative fashion & is thus "problematic"?.

    “Fagotry and the sodomite culture”? That is such a heteronormative thing to say.

    SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY dir. Ron Howard

    I've never really had that much invested in the Star Wars universe though I am starting to come around. I really enjoyed Rogue One and I think, for me at least, this may have topped it.

    But where Rogue One is a more serious film, with a whole lot more at stake, this is just sooo much fun. I had a massive grin on my face the entire time. There are some great set-pieces (the train heist is really quite thrilling and spectacularly done). Alden Ehrenreich is a superb choice for Han. Everyone else does a great job too, except I'm still not convinced about Emilia Clarke (in anything really). She really is just a pretty face.

    Oh and Powell's score is just fabulous, in and out of the film.

    She's awful. She can only play cutesy English girls, and yet she keeps being cast as a badass.

    I really like her. She has this immediate transparent "girl-next-door" like quality that shines through whatever the role. It's what gives to life to 'badass' roles like Kalisi (or however it's spelled).
    I am extremely serious.

    No, it gives her a "girl-next-door" like quality which is exactly the opposite of a badass.

    There is no relatable badass without a heart or some form of charisma. She adds that little 'extra', IMO. Kalisi wouldn't be half as effective as she is without the dynamic between ruthlessness and warmth.

    Indeed. Just saw Doctor Who. Billie Piper is what I would call a girl-next-door.

    Except she doesn't come across as ruthless, she comes across as petulant.
