8, he was fired from 8 when Book of Henry sank.

He was fired from 9, remember all the complaining lol) about him closing out the trilogy?

With Disney buying up all these properties and putting these types of messages in their movies, how much you want to bet that in less than 15 years time, we’ll all have adopted vegetarian lifestyles, no longer procreating and women will be inheriting the earth. [emoji15][emoji15][emoji23]

TLJ is the new Krampus

Hopefully they will show the documentary with the footage of Kennedy with strap on making Johnson bite a pillow...all while discussing episode 8 watching Caligula and Pulp Fiction at the same time

Who says kennedy used a strap on? She might have a pretty big set of cajones.

You know what was really missing from movies like Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith? A scene where the rebels take some of the snow and taste it and say "this is snow" or Anakin on Mustfar tasting the lava and saying "this is lava".

How else can the simpletons in that lucrative Chinese box office market understand what's going on unless you narrate everything, no matter how inconsequential or obvious?

I was just repeating what i heard?

It is interesting you automatically assumed i would need a tiki torch.
You are already blaming me for stuff ive never did. This is why trump won. Congratulations, you are literally why he won.

Ha ha ha ha...woah...easy there tiger someone's blaming and something trump...sounds like your unloading a whole bunch of baggage there...I just thought you may like Jedi with tiki torches more than light sabers...not sure what all the rest of that craziness was but let it all out my friend!
Well at least your "just repeating what I heard" point explains most of your comments and opinions on TLJ on the past million pages of this thread.

I just heard that Herbie the Elf don't wanna make no more Star Wars toys since TLJ. He now wants to be a dentist

[Captain Clown]

It's a quote from the guy who directed the new Fantastic Four movie. Colin didn't actually say it, I just thought it was funny.

Good thing you’re not disturbed anymore.

Oh yeah, guess it was far enough back, I was linking it to 8 in my memory.

Still though feeling not cozy with an entire fleet safely tucked away is better than feeling not cozy with OUT any of that...

As an audience member I just did not feel the plight of the rebellion in TLJ.. The only characters we are suppose to care about are all ok with the exception of Luke, which the film goes out of its way to let us know that it was not sad but peaceful and happy (or something I cant remember what they said)

It left me not really caring about the next installment and that was even when I was still in the "I like this a lot" category..

Just a weird movie IMO...

Post as many links to pro-feminist groups trying to afix themselves to this movie as you want. This one from the writer and director himself trumps them all:

https://chicago.suntimes.com/entert...-meat-grinder-in-the-last-jedi-director-says/



I saw that headline before I watched the film and I saw his stated intentions playing out exactly like that on screen.

In TFA Poe got to solve problems by blowing them up and was given an extremely long leash by General Leia, even to the point of basically spear-heading the briefing on the Starkiller Base attack despite being just one of the pilots. In TLJ his suped up X-Wing was taken away and his leash was reduced to pretty much nothing.

In TFA Rey had a legendary war hero practically begging her to join him and go adventuring with him but in TLJ the legendary war hero wanted nothing to do with her. Also her inborn power did little to help her when it mattered the most (Snoke's throne room) and she had to basically be saved by the guy she beat up in the first film.

In TFA infiltrating Starkiller Base was pretty much a cake-walk for Finn and he got to have his way with Phasma because Han and Chewie did all the heavy lifting. In TLJ the "scoundrel" character that helped him infiltrate the base flat out betrayed him forcing him to face Phasma one on one.

And so on. So no, just because women's rights/issues are under a particularly bright spotlight at this specific moment in history it does NOT mean that I literally see it everywhere I look. Did anyone cry radical feminisim when Charlie put Maverick in his place? Did anyone cry "anti-white" when Matrix Reloaded introduced a Zion high command that was predominantly black? Did anyone whine that the original SW was anti-United Kingdom because all the bad guys save Vader had British accents compared to the do-gooder American Rebels? Not that I recall.

We currently live in a culture where outrage is an addiction. People must be offended by everything and read way too much into everything. And not joining such silliness does not mean that TLJ went over my head. I let films speak for themselves. I have no need to run to online editorials, actor tweets, or t-shirts worn by exectuive producers to tell me how to watch them. If I'm curious about underlying motives for any given scene I will *always* default to what the actual writer and/or director has to say about it. And so far I've not once read or seen any Rian Johnson interview where he said "yeah I was trying to promote radical feminism" or "I was asked to include a radical feminist agenda by Kathleen Kennedy" or whomever.

Now if you need the editorials of MTV blogs or whatever to tell you what a movie was about then that's fine. But I saw a film that sync'd perfectly with the directors own words that he simply wanted things to be hard for the characters and gave us an organic fulfillment of that very non-political agenda. And no amount of repetitive claims to the contrary are going to suddenly negate that. You're free to keep selling it an additional 6,000 times but I ain't buying it.

I will say this: The *all* female Resistance high command did raise an eyebrow, though no higher than when I saw the black majority command in Matrix Reloaded. Everything else that was supposedly ultra-feminist I just saw as a parallel to many other films that *no one* has ever accused of being feminist (Top Gun included.)

Now is Rian Johnson a firm believer that women should be equally heroic as men? Probably. Did some of his own biases naturally seep into the narrative the way it does for literally all writers? I don't see how they wouldn't have. But simply showcasing some of his own biases does not mean that he was ramming them down anyone's throat.

If the strategy from the right is to whine as much as the offended by everything whiny SJW crowd to show them how annoying it is then they are doing a great job with it.

If it’s not...well then...

Heres how:
They look at commercials with mixed couples and see it as indoctrinating people to race mix, most companies tend to show a white lady and a black guy. But you almost never see the opposite. This makes them be angry at the replacement of the white dude. Even the force awakens did this with finn and rey. Then they watch the oscars and the presenters these couple years are white woman black guy. So whenever they see this kind of couple they freak out. Even when you googled " american family" the image results were either black families or mixed families as results. Little stuff like that combines to make them angry. Then you have videogames becoming more progressive and pushing people of color and women as heroes and whites as evil. So from an entertainment point they see a push.
From a social point they see this with the aggressive and strong push for immigration and refugee intake that governments are doing right now. They see that Some european countries have low birthrates that are being raised by immigrant births. They are reproducing much more. Some of the local women are being persuated to marry them as well. With this the christian religion would go extinct. The white males in this places are very passive and low energy beta. While the new men are strong and driven and are high energy alphas. This to them will make women want to abandon white males in Total. A world without white men. An utopia.
It all starts white having movies and games with whites as the enemy slowly brainwashing everyone to accept this as fact.

Holy Crap
