at least star wars going to shit can be blamed on disney taking control and milking the franchise to shit. what's the excuse for cloverfield paradox? how does something like that get made with a big budget?

Cloverfield Paradox wasn’t directed by a white male.

I liked Force Awakens but they've followed that up with a painfully average movie and an really inconsistent one.

What we know about Solo's behind the scenes drama tells me they'll be 1-3 so far. Not a great track record, kiddo.

Rogue One was dope.

Was Cloverfield Paradox bad?

In this timeline, yes

TVC15 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 06, 2018, 10:48:03 PM »

Eh, Cloverfield Paradox is probably on par with Rogue One. They’re both poorly made, but in different ways, and both have their entertaining bits. I think CP is probably slightly more stupid, and R1 is slightly more poorly made, considering its budget and the importance of its franchise.

Actually, there is a connection between both Star Wars crappy sequels and Cloverfield : JJ Abrams.

I used to love Star Wars. The magic is gone for me though unfortunately. I’ve been disappointed more times by Star Wars movies than Times I like a Star Wars movie. Seems like an opportunity to put up and stop watching them.

The difference is, I'd say they were mediocre at best even back in the day. It's just special effects and nostalgia that made people think otherwise.

Force Awakens was some boring McDonald's movie making. Abrams is the king of bland pastiche. I remember enjoying Rogue One, Ben Mendelsohn ruled... But TLJ is by far the most interesting (probably of all Star Wars movies for me). I have a number of gripes with it;

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Canto Bight was a mistake, I wish they didn't redeem Poe Dameron and he remained a dumb asshole, so many clanger jokes

[close]

but the good easily outweighed the few times i groaned. og Star War trilogy is still top tier camp 70/80s sci fi, shit is dated af and yes i grew up re-watching one of them most weekends, that's the point. Dismissing their quality and retroactively trolling coz ur growed up now is nearly as embarrassing as adults that still obsess over them.

side note: I particularly enjoy how TLJ freaked out canon losers.

It’ll be a very rough graphic novel at first (I’ll have my brother help with the plot and dialogue since he’s a writer).

Then it’ll be something he and I will improve upon over the years until its something I’m not embarrassed to put my name on.

edit: and I’d be fine if it never became a film. That would probably be for the best, tbh.

I’d be glad to contribute any sexual content needed. Although I’m not willing to share the ideas I’m currently cooking for my T-Vinci and Candi script, which is likely to incorporate many of my post-meditation fantasies from the past year.

Atramental · « **Reply #23 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:09:31 AM »

I’m aiming for a PG-13 rating with this content not NC-17.

If I were to do something as... challenging as your writing it wouldn’t be set in a space opera.

Maybe in some preverse cyber punk world instead.

I grew up thinking the same and I still think it about the new movies. It's the most overrated franchise in the history of cinema.

TVC15 · « **Reply #25 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:37:19 AM »

I was excited about it in the early 90s. It was one of those Xmas traditions that they’d show the entire trilogy on some cable channel. Maybe USA. Then the big VHS set came out and I had them and I could watch them whenever I wanted, and I did.

I was mostly over it by the time the prequels rolled around, but it was still a big event when the first one came out. A bunch of my friends cut school to see it. Never have I left a movie theater feeling more confused, trying to map the memories of my love of the originals with th mess I had just seen. It was like figuring out I was gay again for the first time.

After that I stopped caring. I didn’t see AotC in theaters and I only saw RotS because it was a work event.

I was interested by the Diznee purchase since they’d shown such consistent quality with the MCU flicks. I’m losing interest now as it becomes evident that there’s not really that much meat left on the franchise to do anything truly exciting.

Oh yeah, I just thought of something...

If I do end up making a space opera I want to run it past some trusted advisors so I don't pull a George Lucas and make Han Solo into a tall ugly alien that no one can relate to or a Jar Jar Binks.

I was just thinking the over day what a great bit of world-building the Mos Eisley/Cantina scene is. It had the Empire, droids, and Jawas before, but this scene really drives home that the movie is set in a wide, diverse universe full of strange creatures.

A New Hope has always been my favorite Star Wars movie. I just think that movie is beautiful. I think the world building is tremendous. The pacing is exactly the kind of pacing I like. Nowadays people would consider it slow but that is exactly the pace of a film I like. (Back then it was considered rapid pacing. How times change) The final climax in the trench.

Just an absolute perfect film for me. I never get tired of watching it and I do it every year or two.
