Into the depths

It's a curse to get deep with something you're working on, that's for sure. It consumes your every thought, you're honestly married to the project and dare not step too far away from it or it might lose the "juice" as they say.

I've improved it that's the only good thing I can say about what I've done with it. I punched up the action tightened and removed tons of excess nonsense and made it more visceral which is what you got to have with films. It's got to in my mind make an impact and stick out as interesting and different...

It's running smoother now which is enjoyable to see take place... not as disjointed and just meandering which is what you have in the workprint. It's starting to just fly and flow nicely....

Sad to do this much hard work and nobody will care, eh... yeah it is sad... I love it,I worked hard on it, and that's all apparently that will come of it, personal gratification... oh well.

Solo on the horizon. I feel bad watching the actors and Ron having a huge laugh and enjoying things when I mean, wasn't this how they promoted the film with Lord and Miller? It's kinda depressing to see that Disney is so ruthless and just is kinda hoping people forget they existed. You know what would be funny to see Lord and Miller doing interviews for the movie, THAT would be fun to see and I'm sure somebody still likes them at Disney or are they blacklisted from anything to do with the movie?

Ohhhh that sucks man, it's kinda pathetic. I'm just in awe of the lengths they're going to to save the movie's box office, having Ford support it, Lucas etc... holy crap what the hell are they losing their balls for over this thing.. It's said to be a good film... why are they pulling all these publicity stunts to say "look it's got the approval of Lucas and Ford! See!" what the hell?

With how transparent they're being about how they're trying to strip Lord and Miller's names off the movie, I do kinda feel loyal to them and want to spite the film on their behalf... wow, I mean, yunno, better off just letting them finish their movie imo and let the plan play out... Looks like Ron Howard pulled a Ron Howard and made another one of his OK, but nothing great movies.... I personally will probably be bored by the film since I know Howard's strengths and weaknesses having been into his films forever... Lord and Miller wanted to "break rules" and do things new and different and yeah I was all for that.... I know what star wars can be if you stretch it beyond the confines of the OT and go epic scope with it in new ways... so I was so into that. From the clips I've watched. Howard pulled a Ron Howard, and it has 0% style, it's plain jane decently directed stuff....

What else can anyone say... He pulled a Ron Howard....

So I'm gonna get back to this hell hole of a project and finish what I began... but yeah awkward movie Solo will be, awkward circumstances surrounding its inception. I mean I like the actors but they put on the same old smiles and attitude for crap like Terminator Nintendo and I wish I could get my money back for that tragedy.

I don't know. What's there to be excited about with Solo? Is it just your Ron Howard kinda good flick or is it more?????
