Just do the joker scene and get it down.

It's actually not going to be too difficult... It's the funniest f'n scene in the whole movie. Quite proud of it really though of course it's going to demand a lot of work due to my lack of organization...

Ugh, but I'll be happy when it's over... good material just such a mess because I shot it fast and only did it twice because the make up was not easy to apply so no way was I going to be doing it several times.

We'll see....

Been watching f'n grinch to gear up for Solo if that means anything.

It's a frustrating film. You want to love it, but it's never played straight at all, it's just constantly blatantly making it clear it's a big hollywood movie and that's unfortunate. Would have worked better as a more artistic film rather than a jim carrey Grinch sketch comedy bit.

just when carrey nails the Grinch act and sells his performance, he winks at the camera and says Smmmmmmooooooookin and ruins it. Just ugh, must have been a nightmare for him if he didn't care that much and just said fuck it.

As for Ron Howard and his talents or whatever... His directing is on point, he knows how to create damn good solid performances and adds a levity to his films that makes them fun always, but at times for me it's often too soft. He's yet to make a truly groundbreaking film that reinvents the genre or anything... it's always solid plain old, pretty good elevator music of a movie... Is it because that's how he was brought up, just square and such a kinda chipper guy? Probably, who knows...

Solo will be that stuff. It's what Disney wanted, a safe director they could manipulate and wouldn't fight them on any decisions. No offense to Ron, but he's being played like a damn violin, the guy.

got to give it up to Lord and Miller, they had a vision and didn't backtrack on it and I do hope whatever they do next completely stomps all over the solo movie, which I doubt will be anything special...
