Am I the only one who can't see about 99% of Khev's image posts?

#ReleaseTheInappropriateCut

Which would be worse, the inappropriate improv or the dialogue we ended up with.

(For the record, I'm one of the few who appreciated the attempt at Space Shakespeare)

Unless it turns into at least soft core porn I'm not interested

 

[jye4ever]

What is inappropriate for some I consider to be very appropriate for me lol

 

[ebor]

Well here it is:

“Oh Ani you’re such a tease”

“No means ‘No’ Padame!”

“Oh Ani your such a momma’s boy”

And remember the toys too!

Happy birthday kido.
Daddy I asked for Planet of the Apes or Star Wars.
What's the difference, you'll play with it, and love it, now go show all your friends.

Looks like Chewbacca in between porno scenes.

Wrong "Star" but hey...

You're making Mugato upset.

It's like some weird cosmic Mego foreshadowing and somehow these two combined in the past.

Apparently this whole War for the Planet of the Star Apes xover is a thing. And a wonderful one at that.
Although don't know where Chewie stands in the zany universe concept?
Not mine...

Lots of cognitive dissonance

I feel like I'll only get pissed off if I read that article.

“I think it’s impossible for any of us to approach Star Wars without thinking about it as a myth that we were raised with, and how that myth, that story, baked itself into us and affected us,” Johnson explains. “The ultimate intent was not to strip away – the intent was to get to the basic, fundamental power of myth. And ultimately I hope the film is an affirmation of the power of the myth of Star Wars in our lives.”

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

“When I was up at bat, I really swung at the ball.”

That kinda epitomizes his failure with this movie to me, that it was all about doing whatever he felt like with no real consideration for the established lore/characters or what people might actually want to see in the movie. Like he would be the type of baseball player to swing wildly and strikeout when all he had to do was bunt to score in a run. I would say most directors these days still make their movies with the hope/intent that people will enjoy watching it but he just didn’t seem to care as long as it tickled his own fancy. It would be like a horror director not caring one bit if the audience thought their film was scary.

His whole thing about audiences wanting to be surprised and see things happen that subverts their expectations is quite the general assumption. Did a film like Mad Max Fury Road surprise me and subvert my expectations? Not really. I guess I was surprised by how amazing the action sequences were and how I was on the edge of my seat the whole time through. But otherwise the plot and characters still went in the direction I expected and made sense for what was set up in the film itself—and it’s still one of the best movies of the 21st Century!

I will say I still think the score and cinematography in TLJ are brilliant. But watching Knives Out when it came out a few years ago kinda solidified to me that he thinks he’s *way* more clever of a writer than he actually is.
