re: Maze Runner: you might be thinking of the Divergent series? that one def fizzled after 2 movies of the 3 (?) books

The third movie did come out but only part 1 of 2

doing some rewatching in the background here, and I’m once again wondering how accurately the subtitles reflect what was actually said when they translate non-Basic-speaking characters In ROTJ, they *claim* Jabba says Han is now “bantha fodder” when he clearly says “bantha poodoo” which seems more like “bantha shit”justice for non-basic speakers!
― mh, Thursday, 12 December 2019 01:21 (four years ago) link
I reread the novelisations more than I saw the films and "bantha fodder" rings familiar tbh

Bantha is about as much a warrior as Will Ferrell

I encoded the SW films for my home server a few years ago and accidentally left off subtitles. They’re very understandable without, in that the intonation and a few soundalike words pop up in dialogue. Not a master class in alien language writing, but at some point someone made the wise decision that reading subtitles wasn’t necessary to get the plot.

But in Phantom Menace Jar-Jar steps in what is clearly supposed to be crap and calls it "poodoo!"(How he knows Huttese is an open question)

Rian Johnson healthily seems to take this attitude even to rabid Star Wars fans, insisting that the hundreds of misspelled Last Jedi abuse replies on every tweet he makes about baseball games are a tiny proportion of the actual feedback he gets overall.
lol
Met @JRichardKelly in film school. He came in with his super 8 film & propped an anamorphic lens in front of the projector. HE SHOT HIS SUPER 8 FILMS ANAMORPHIC. I was like “son of a bitch!” Been friends ever since. He’s a great filmmaker who’s always played by his own rules. https://t.co/hgAYySmvoX— Rian Johnson (@rianjohnson) December 13, 2019

I found it hilarious how insanely petty it was, like what a fascinating little fact about the inventiveness of a director whose first feature showed a promising creative voice, offered up by someone who had a chance to marvel at that inventiveness even earlier. And what it says about Johnson that he takes the opportunity to share that admiration in a concise anecdote rather than just RT a plug and move on... just met by a mentality that can't comprehend generosity or creativity as concepts. Whose adoration (?) of Star Wars has not managed to impart any notions of the value of kindness and tolerance from the text, or of interest in or appreciation for clever solutions to filmmaking challenges, that combine vision with hands-on craft. Remembered my post from the other day, and thought how aptly this illustrated the ineffectual nature of those gnat-bite responses.
Then I clicked through on Mr Sauce's account after posting and regretted it tbh.

Brick is the only other RJ movie I’ve seen (besides TLJ); the bonus disc is great, he was really inventive in making use of limited resources to get interesting shots, etc.

Lakers are def playing better than I thought they would be at this point. They’re doing it with good defense and relying heavily on their two stars, not sure how sustainable the latter is though.

The thing that bothers me the most about TLJ is the dumb vehicles - in a world full of all kinds of ships of all sizes capable of traveling at incredible speed and defying gravity, two major scenes were built around slow-ass bombers and those stupid skid machines that seemed to exist only for the red surface visuals. I’ve also wondered for years why snow speeders have those harpoon guns on the back with a dedicated operator because wtf purpose could those possible serve other than suddenly being useful for tripping ATATs
