There's a tiny town of tiny animals, how the hell do the police work with that?

    What does the rodent mafia do when they need to knock over some establishment run by elephants? What weapons do they even take to that fight?

    You mean the rodent mafia that had a bunch of gigantic polar bear enforcers?

    I forgot about this. I also think I just assumed like the different places had their own currency. At least for the sake of convenience. Lil mouse can't go around with a wallet of elephant bux. But there has to be some common value if they're able to buy off polar bears.

    I just want more of that world.

    also, i realize it was inferred from my post that Enchanted is only a favorite of porp's but that's not true

    i unabashedly love it as well

    not so much the rest of the movies in her list (altho i do enjoy the proposal and two weeks notice)

    ludious, it takes all kinds

    You don't like the original Star Wars trilogy. What did you think I forgot you agent provocateur

    nobody likes the OT. they just pretend to like it because of nerd pressure or because they can't bear to let go of what they liked as children, wrapped in their own nostalgia like a kitten in yarn

    in fact i believe nobody has even watched the OT in over ten years, they've just pretended to

    back when we started dating porp made me watch the OT cuz id never seen it

    I remember finding the story interesting but thinking a lot of the acting and dialogue being p cringey bad

    I haven't gone back and re-watched it since, but that's true of just about every movie that isn't Houseguest or Uncle Buck or one of porp's rom-coms she loves (Enchanted, literally any Sandra Bullock Movie, Bridget Jones)
    :whistle:
    That's how you knooooooow.... he loves you...
    :whistle:

    i randomly sing that song at porp all the time

    how does she know that you love her
    how does she know that you need her
    Alan Menken is really bad at explaining his own music. He sounds like someone who has burned out on crack or something (compare this to, say, Stephen Schwartz or Stephen Sondheim, who can tell you everything about the creative process that went into making a specific song). But boy, does he write catchy tunes. I watched all of Galavant because of him.

    Rogue One was pretty bad. I liked the robot. I felt nothing about the rest of the film, which was rushed and earned none of the pathos it tried to exploit in its ending. I almost agree with Ludious but the prequel trilogy is pretty hilariously bad

    The whole you're beautiful because you're so in love is seriously the most gag worthy line ever uttered in a major motion picture.

    I watched the OT for the first time when I was 18ish. I enjoyed it, but what I didn't get is how those films inspired the EU and the obsession over the films that followed in that series. Of all the cinema in the world, how is it that series that generates such an obsession? If I internalized that more clearly I would not have been blindsided later as an entire degenerate culture developed around trailers and teaser shots of Marvel's universe.

    I don't even understand what this means

    Movie franchises have certain expectations.

    Like, if you hear that there's a Fast and Furious movie, you know it's going to be about a bunch of rogues committing crimes and driving around in fast cars, even if you don't know anything specific about that specific iteration.

    Or if you watch a James Bond movie, you know it's going to be about a charming narcissist of a spy.

    Lud is saying that Rogue One didn't fit the expectations you expect of a Star Wars movie. It wasn't bad, but it poorly fit the Star Wars style.

    Those are all the ones I went back to watch a second time.

    And my reaction about partway through was always "why am I watching this?"

    I'm curious what you liked about Dr Strange, Feral

    aside from the obvious, which is that it's extremely beautiful and technically impressive in many scenes, and Mads Mikkelsen's speech about how death is an insult makes him a tragic protagonist who should be admired

    Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie after ESB.

    TFA is somwhere infront of the Prequels thanks to the actors.

    TFA had a worse script than most prequels, except clone wars which I can't remember a single scene about.

    But let me join in.

    Rogue One is EASILY the worst "Star Wars" film.
    What is this, hot take Thursday?

    it's not that hot a take

    rogue one is a rote series of events that banks almost entirely on structure and imagery with no characterization and paper thin plot

    the prequels are disasters, but at least they fuckin' tried

    rogue one farted out the laziest bullshit and slathered it in enough nostalgia to choke patton oswalt and kevin smith if they were mouth-to-mouthing a double-ender

    i don't hate rogue one

    but "i felt cold and emotionless" accurately describes what watching it made me feel

    I dunno, I really wasn't expecting the ending
    either everyone to die or the film to literally run into the beginning of episode 4

    I won't really give the prequels much credit for trying either because I feel like Lucas wasn't really trying, I don't get any passion or caring from those train wrecks like I do for something like Jupiter Ascending - where I feel the Wachowskis legitimately were trying to do something interesting even if it was a complete mess

    but I can see why you wouldn't like Rogue One, even if it does work for me

    tbh the fact that the former of your two spoilers was very, very predictable to me watching the film was a huge detractor

    it made the whole film joyless for me, even though i wasn't spoiled on the ending, i realized it like, less than a third of the way into the film, and i realized that's why a lot of other things were happening (like how nobody became three dimensional characters at any point)

    so i just... stopped giving a shit. it was all hurtling towards an inevitable conclusion and it made the film feel really... pointless?

    it was like the answer to a question i didn't ever find myself asking, although to be fair lots of other people asked that question over the years so there's clearly a market for the answer

    (being real i didn't see the second part of your spoiler coming and was like "oh that's interesting", probably the only part of the film i thought so about)
