  1. The Pitt and Andor were the best two drama series this past year, but it's likely neither will win. As I've been saying for years, these award shows are meaningless. You can't even use award shows as a way to discover things you might not have seen but should. You look at how many noms White Lotus season 3 got, and it's not good. Someone might see that and go, ya know, maybe I should check it out. No.
  2. Ok, but it has precedence. Gunn didn't come up with it on his own. So, people who are flipping tables over this and walking out of theaters because of it need to check their lore.
  3. I don't understand why people are saying this. The only thing the nations in conflict have in common with them is that one is well-armed and the other isn't. Nothing else about that storyline is even remotely similar.
  4. Saw it this afternoon. It was fine. Second half was better than the first half. Kinda goofy in that James Gunn sorta way. Definitely better than that dark and gritty nonsense Zack Snyder did. Not as good as the original Superman movie.
  5. Yeah, this looks to be a proper adaptation of the book and not a remake of the Schwarzenegger movie.
  6. It should have been a Lando movie. Donald Glover is just so great and charismatic in that role, I'm really more interested in what he has going on.
  7. Kennedy saying all the right things at the BFI screening of an original 1977 print of Star Wars: https://variety.com/2025/film/news/star-wars-george-lucas-first-print-screens-1236430495/
  8. Krull is coming out in 4K blu! https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/061325-1330
  9. 100% this. Rogue One is easily the third best Star Wars movie. Jedi has nonsensical plotting, bad acting (even Ford is mailing it in), and teddy bears defeating Imperial Storm Troopers. Jedi isn't even the fourth-best Star Wars film.
  10. Guys, just a reminder, this is the movie thread. There's a separate TV thread here:
  11. This is not what happened. Well, correction, they brought JJ back on board to steer things back toward the first movie after the second one ruffled feathers. That did happen. But there was no change in course after the first one. They've been really open about this: they gave Rian creative control over the second movie. He could do what he wanted, and he did. But there was no change in course after the first movie by Disney or Lucasfilm. The movie was a massive hit and did well with critics.
  12. They lost faith after TFA made $2 billion at the box office? That makes no sense. Neither Disney nor Lucasfilm decided on a story direction change after TFA. Rian Johnson did, and he was given the creative freedom to do so. And the Carrie Fisher died, and the plans for the third film got turned upside down.
  13. I've seen several reports now that she's playing the bad guy.
  14. I wasn't able to suspend my disbelief through any of this, and I immensely dislike the implications of the ending. I'm not sure who the audience for this is supposed to be. It had the logic of a kids' cartoon, but the violence of something for adults.
