star wars 9 spoilers and postmortem shit talk

As many fans speculated/hoped, this iteration of Episode IX would have seen Rey and Kylo working from similar motives, with both characters fighting against the binary ideologies that have governed their world for ages. Ultimately, unlike Rise, Rey’s attempts to coax Ben Solo out of his Kylo Ren angst helmet fail, and he is “extinguished”—but not before revealing that he killed Rey’s parents (who were, indeed, “nobodies”) on Snoke’s orders.

That sounds so much better.

Harrison Ford weighs in on if Han Solo was a Force ghost in 'The Rise of Skywalker'

'A Force ghost? ... I have no fucking idea what a Force ghost is. And I don’t care'

hero

Exactly what I'd expect Han Solo's force ghost to say tbh.

I can't wait for episode 9 to come out so we can end the Skywalker saga in a satisfying way

nothing prepared me for just how awful this is

Fool me 11 times, shame on you. Fool me 12 times ...

lol tru

it’s a real shitshow

its the worst star wars movie
and ive seen a new hope

THE BEST ACTOR IN THIS IS MARK HAMILL FOR FUCKS SAKE

the really weird thing is that jj abrams created three engaging new leads in the force awakens, with great performances from each, and then cant think of a single interesting thing for any of them to do in this one and they all look bored af

it's funny if you just adapt lines from previous movies for this one and mumble them throughout

"I'm afraid your friends will find our NAVIGATION BEACONS to be.. quite operational"

otm bg

the stirring speech to the troops is the least convincingly delivered piece i may ever have heard

what an utter frankenstein effort, any one person involved must have known what was happening here

feeling good about my decision to never ever see this

its made me sorry i saw tlj

tfa was a good fun look back with great leads and nice beats

this is so deeply unpleasant and incoherent

at this point I am finally morbidly curious about this tbh

i mean it’s worth seeing just for the ‘how did this happen’ factor

also babu frik

do I need to post my quote-unquote popular "drink the Snoke juice" meme here

that five minute emotional romeo juliet copout scene at the end seems like an improvement but as herself gasped through fits of giggles and hatred "its just that the fucking dialogue has stopped"

she is otm

xp hey heeeeey

amazing factoid: they were probably dubbed in for the final audio, but shirley henderson also performed all babu frik content live on set

THE BEST ACTOR IN THIS IS MARK HAMILL FOR FUCKS SAKE

C'mon though, Richard E Grant!

we have counted and there is two lines of dialogue in this that were worth keeping in

youre the spy

and

i forget the other one

every other line was poorly written

its a staggering achievement this

xp i hate richard e grant

"babu frik is one of my oldest friends!"

please tel me that there’s footage of shirley henderson on set babbling nonsense at oscar isaac

droid memory go black. black black.

I saw 1917 in theaters and at an intense quiet part I could hear babu frik go HEY HEYYY in the theater next door

the rise of skywalker is the rare movie that's better when you're watching another movie one theater over

if it regularly synchronized I’d have gone to see 1917 just for that

the really weird thing is that jj abrams created three engaging new leads in the force awakens, with great performances from each, and then cant think of a single interesting thing for any of them to do in this one and they all look bored af

never going to see either of these but isn't it probably because the writer of Body Heat, Raiders Of The Lost Ark and The Accidental Tourist wrote The Force Awakens, and the writer of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice wrote this one?

d/ling now, weirdly stoked for the badness

Would enjoy you LIveLXing your viewing.

Body Heat, Raiders Of The Lost Ark and The Accidental Tourist

Having seen the latter film for my sins on its original release, uh, why name THAT one?

shows range

Three films in very different styles, working off non-original material or tropes (as Terrio was), that each created screen-vibrant characters that wide audiences found compelling and/or charming.

(My parents took me to it too, and I'm absolutely not citing it out of recollection of quality. But Geena Davis won the Oscar!)

or what deems said

range and brevity, two essentials

Would enjoy you LIveLXing your viewing.

since you asked so nicely, stay tuned

But Geena Davis won the Oscar!

Definitely the only memorable part of it, aside from maybe the turkey dinner disaster.

simon im trying to get some sleep pls dont do this unmissable event

A corona shit-talking watch party thread would be pretty fun imo.

100% in let's gooo

fuck this

another reason to hate this scrambled egg of a movie

Marvel-ass triangle cube trash

lol six whole minutes, you did ok man

god I already hate this I think I'll just save my thoughts for the end, there's gonna be too much petty posting

ok that suits see ye in the mornin

get what sic is saying but it’s more of a blend of strengths. you can have a scriptwriter who is kind of shit but the set and director make it good, but some directors really can’t pull a jewel out of a pile of dirt

(thinking about a Joe Eszterhas script and the Mel Gibson tell-all he wrote and how I enjoyed some movies he “wrote”)
