I dig how Andy Serkis is getting a double paycheck as both onscreen actor and mocap advisor

Professor Goodfeels (kingfish), Thursday, 12 November 2015 20:45 (eight years ago) link

He should just wear a mocap suit 24/7 and spend his life walking funny and contorting himself, just to build a licenseable archive. When they get around to making that movie about a CGI creature that sleeps all the time, he'll be printing money.

Per that great Red Letter Media prediction episode, what exactly does the Empire do with its power besides build Death Stars? They're kind of a one-trick pony, aren't they? Conquering worlds to get resources to build Death Stars to conquer worlds to get resources to build Death Stars to ... It's like a Spacemen 3 album title.

lol thats another thing the prequels could have looked into. maybe it ultimately is about taxation and trade deals.

Power grows out of the barrel of a death star

Episode 9 will end with a Death Star on Death Star superlaser duel.

btw congrats to General Leia Organa. That's a nice promotion for someone who went through the first movie showing the irritation commensurate with finding the nail salon closed.

well, she was a politician, but still a kid, really

her brother's biggest ambition was to maybe get off his world, someday, but mostly hang out at the convenience store with his friends while pretending to run an errand for power converters

well he's an American Graffiti character gone galactic

They give a sensible rationale in ANH in the officers meeting, which actually is a neat scene that I don't think we get another one of quality(not counting the prequels' shitty attempts).

"Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station."

This scene is also where he mentions how the Imperial Senate has been dissolved by the Emperor, and now regional governors have direct control over their respective territories.

So, yeah, mobile doomsday weapon to backstop an authoritarian power-grab.

And *of course* Wookieepedia has a write-up for it:

tbf tarkin never used that phrase, it was coined by charles krauthammer

i like Carrie Fisher, GOTT (moreso when she learned to act a little), but that character as a future general is mighty funny.

also fuck PC bullshit as always

One of the few times that John Simon makes me laugh intentionally is when he calls Leia an Organic Lay.

Can't help feeling like John Boyega's dialect coach taught him to talk in Eddie Murphy's "white man" voice:

Watching Jedi with the girls. They find the Ewoks adorable and keep asking why Luke keeps kissing his sister, because it's gross.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 21 November 2015 22:20 (eight years ago) link

Also, they have no idea they're called Ewoks, so they call them Super Bears.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 21 November 2015 23:10 (eight years ago) link

close enough

μpright mammal (mh), Sunday, 22 November 2015 16:27 (eight years ago) link

Super Bears reminds me off the times Shoneys would have guest appearance by kids' tv knockoffs like the "Power Turtles"

Just confirming the long-rumored ascension of Lobot to primary protagonist status.

Abrams, Fisher, Ridley, Boyega, and Driver were on Kimmel last night. As expected, nothing was revealed; Driver even asked Abrams on set if he was allowed to say whether he appears in the film without a mask or not. Kimmel asked Abrams what the first word in the film is, and before responding Abrams paused and asked "Spoken?" which I guess is a tacit nod that they're sticking with the formalism of the opening crawl. Apparently the first spoken word in the movie is "This."

Resting Bushface (Phil D.), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 22:38 (eight years ago) link

no crawl = Rite of Spring-style riot

Opening shot is of star destroyer passing 'Tattooine welcomes careful drivers' spaceboard.
