Re: Consumption Be Done About These New Star Wars Movies ?!?!
i've not seen anything trailer wise re: solo and i'm glad i haven't, because i want to go into it (whenever i end up watching it) totally brain-nude; i literally just spent a week at disney world and saw a shitload of merch, but zero moving pictures and sounds related to the movie, which has to be some sort of failure of the modern capitalist state
on the disney world note, a.) there's a star wars fireworks show/etc. at hollywood studios which is pretty good, and b.) it struck me that i keep on calling it new order, not first order, which still kinda works in that both were substantially more successful than their predecessors. my two oldest kids went on star tours and lost their goddamn minds; my youngest would get excited whenever he'd see a picture of mickey mouse

I don't expect anyone to read this (I skimmed) but holy hell it seems so wrongheaded in some of its TLJ apologetics - especially claiming that all the main characters have outstandingly realized arcs. aside from us learning more about what luke has been up to, the people are pretty much where they started off. was Finn not on board with the resistance at the end of TFA now?
the movie literally attacks the idea of heroic self-sacrifice
and if the movie's so fucking great, why have you only seen it once, dude?

classic heroism = toxic masculinity now?I was having a conversation with one of my local bartenders I love. We’ve had a lot of lovely, spirited bar arguments. Sports. Movies. You name it. And it’s always been fun and inclusive. But The Last Jedi is the first time I have ever seen him incensed. He kept yelling at us and talking about all the things that were so “stupid” about the film, and then proclaiming that the director “clearly doesn’t understand the tone of Star Wars!” He made this point particularly about the sense of humor in the opening Poe scene. It didn’t matter that I pointed out the tone was no different from Han’s off-the-cuff joke, “everything’s fine here… how are you?” as well as a litany of other moments. He finally just yelled, “I felt like the film was making fun of me!”
And there it was. All these things that I’ve been talking about. The feeling of “being talked down to” by Holdo. The not wanting Finn to be silly. The ignoring of character arcs, the silly tone, the faux logic arguments, it all adds up into the vicarious way people place themselves into a movie. So they felt attacked by this movie…but it’s not attacking them, it’s attacking qualities of people. It’s attacking toxic masculinity. It’s attacking toxic fandom. It’s attacking all the worst parts of ourselves and asking us to do better.

Re: Consumption Be Done About These New Star Wars Movies ?!?!
this video sucked tbqh
more than half of it was plot point quibbling - they've never resorted to that extensively in the past
almost no insight beyond the "comedy of errors" thing, and even that wasn't a mind-shredder

If you want a good space movie, there's this...kinda jerks itself off for a bit, then comes around in ways that made me want to be a humanist

I haven't paid any attention to star wars since the force awakens. I don't really give a rip about any of it. Disney is going to flood the market with the shit and it pretty much means nothing now.
Marvel and DC movies can fuck off too.

I really really really hope the let's-borrow-tonal-elements-from-the-original-trilogy continues such that they crib the pacing and timbre of the final duel in Return of the Jedi. Honestly that's the only part of that movie I genuinely like anymore, so uh, here's to that I guess?

I just want Abrams to land the story with the thinnest shred of dignity, that's all at this point. I don't expect or want anything interesting, just don't literally keep crashing this plane with no survivors because THEY EXPECT ONE OF US IN THE WRECKAGE BROTHERS have we started the skywalker YES THE SKYWALKER RISES
