going to edit a bit today but nothing major. Then get my files prepared for truly finishing the final battle.
You guys don't get it. If I can slam out this bit of the movie, it'd free me up so much the rest won't be such an incredible burden. I'd feel happier editing the other bits to be honest. The final fight is huge, difficult, and somewhat hard to watch as it features me having flabby jelly rolls that I'll have to cleverly cut around. Not looking forward to that.
Watching Orville to see what the fuck it is. It's ok. I mean shit, was really getting into some of it. The episode with the planet that passes over 100 years of time for every day in our time, pretty amazing. It's been said to basically be a new star trek show under the disguise of a star trek parody. And it is. It's not a comedy. It's Seth macfarlane's star trek. He's still playing himself. It's kinda again an annoying decision he's made. In this and in Million, he's playing himself. He's not acting at all. He thinks its funny. It's funny to him. LOL. It's just annoying. Other actors are earning their pay check putting on an ACT. He walks on set, be himself and walks out. That's it. It's funny to you Seth, just another awkward decision. As soon as you start to buy the illusion that his character is real, he winks at the audience, ha ha, I'm brian from family guy, because Brian is ME. It's so silly.
It's tripping the rift though. Seth thinks he's so clever or whatever, but Tripping the Rift did everything he's doing back when we all had dial up. He's not really going anywhere new. Andromeda too. Hell, goddamn Lexx did similar stuff. You can tell I was a space show nut as a kid. BUT Orville is good, nothing too dramatically great. Galaxy Quest the show essentially. And all the girls in it are cute so whatever, good enough.
As for Star Wars 9. Drop Finn, Rey, and Poe. DROP THEM. They're not interesting. I thought and we all thought they'd mean something in the series, they're all disposable now. They have NOTHING to do with the whole story of star wars at all. I thought finn was a new jedi emerging, wrong. He's disposable tolken black character. Literally that's all he is and it's sad, sad that boyega would chuck and jive for his pay check and dance in front of the camera
LITERALLY:
Oh look everybody! We love dem blacks.
Start fresh. Let's start maybe a goddamn decade later. Do not focus on the limp dick story of poe and rey. Focus on new characters coming up out of the war torn regions the first order and the republic are battling through. We'll look at the war from their eyes. It'd be fitting way to end it as a call back to how the star wars shifted from the story of Anakin to the story of Luke, now it'll shift to the story of someone at the bottom of the world who has an impact on the destiny of the galaxy once again. And maybe they're not a jedi. It'd be interesting to explore an angle that wasn't copying what we got twice before, that's for damn sure. And that's what Rian Johnson wanted. He said, noooooo not going to have this be a step by step retread at all. We're breaking this bitch open and making something else.
Thank you for that. That's what this trilogy should have been. I mean the potential wasted by TFA kills me. We got some awkward shit in place of an epic sprawling amzaing final fantasy level shit that we could have had. Yeah when I think of the new jedi order story, I'm thinking epic final fantasy shit. New worlds. Had no f'n clue JJ after what he did to make star trek pop and sizzle visually and be such a prequel slamming franchise, go right back to f'n sand planet again and remake a new hope. Got to be shitting me. I grew up watching movies INSPIRED by star wars yes, but totally making their own style and story from that inspiration. Sucker just says f that and blasts us all back to a new hope, f'n a new hope. Sand planet, droid wandering around on it, getting found, same shit. F u JJ. We already got this with Return of the Jedi. Why did you remake that. Sucks because I watched TFA ignoring how much it was sucking A new Hope's dick and being so interested in Finn, Chewie and Han's big ass new ship which we never see ever again, good lord, all the NEW stuff, so fascinating, f'n bread rey makes from the portions, that's great.... Then it just kept sucking A new Hope's f'n dick. WE GOT A LOT OF COMPANY. Oh jesus christ.
We're not done yet. We can do the right thing and get this ship back on track. It's just you got to NOT at all COSTS retread old star wars material with this movie. It's a scary thing to do, but I like what Rian Johnson had the balls to do, LET THE PAST DIE. He had balls, awkward weird ass goofy donkey horse thing riding balls but balls none the less to attempt to breathe new life into the star wars corpse and for a bit during TLJ I could actually see the NEW star wars. The totally Lucas free but still awesome, still well made star wars. I could see it thanks to TLJ and that does give one hope.
Will JJ have balls enough to step out of the safety zone and give us a star wars film that's visually conceptually abstract and weird and twists our perceptions and just blows our reality away for 2 hours. NO. And that's sad.
JJ's the Mcdonalds of film makers.
God, what could have been if they gave the film to a true visionary film maker, just a visually daring son of a bitch kinda guy. Del Toro would make something so good, so good. Cuaron, oh my god what he would do. Ridley Scott, a younger Scott anyway not this half baked screwball he's become, oh he'd kick ass...
Well, I mean shit. I'm torn. I want 9 to be great, but unfortunately it'll be just as good as JJ's other mediocre shit. Sad to say.
