Solo getting lukewarm reviews... can't figure out whether I'm happy about that or not... One guy I watched was a black reviewer, I don't really trust the hokey dokey white gap clothes wearing college nerd reviewers, the black guy reviewer just another black guy like me struggling in this world, he laid it out honest and straight, the movie's mediocre average ron howard movie...
who saw that coming???
Loving the comments about how Lord and Miller's film would have been the better approach...
If the movie underperforms that will mean Lord and Miller get the last laugh and can feel vindicated in their decision to ignore the memos they were getting from disney during production...
If it does super great, this is a bad sign and means that disney will forge forward with more plain lame star wars movies and just not put effort into taking the franchise to new more interesting heights and play it safe... so yeah either way's not particularly good...
It's like superman returns vs man of steel I guess. I went to see man of steel when it came out and regretted it. If I was smart back when I was following return's production I would have witnessed that far superior movie in cinemas instead of wasting my time on the mediocre man of steel...
Lord and Miller apparently had this thing called "passion and vision" and disney wanted no part of that garbage so they went with the safe workman choice of the average as apple pie Ron Howard and here we sit with this ho hum solo film to take or leave as many reviewers are suggesting... it's not needed, it adds nothing, it's just an expensive fan film.
Do I want it to bomb? Yeah but I'm realistic about it, it's a star wars movie, loads of kids are living their lives today begging mommy and daddy to go see new star wars. You're a damn idiot to think it's gonna fail. But the worst review of it says it's not even fun for kids... holy crap. You mean they actually didn't pander to kids. Considering the robot in the movie says curse words, I'm guessing so. Then there really is a possibility of complete failure here.... mind you, anything ANYTHING with star wars on it will sell regardless....
And it's an "OK" movie... that's what the force awakens was, that's what Last Jedi was altough it's far better than TFA, but yeah "OK" is what disney is aiming for here and it's what we got out of it...
I don't want to pay to see it that's for sure but I think I will. I'll have review thing I'll do for my youtube page after seeing it. And I'll do the review dressed a Lando Calrissian just to give a final F YOU to them all for ignoring me...
All the reviewers saying Glover nails Lando, must not have actually watched or understood Lando much then. They don't care about Lando, just posers...
I studied Lando's story top to bottom as I did many aspects of star wars... Even know the origin of goddamn Lobot. There's a world of complexity to him... something only a true fan can get... If all you think of Lando is Ladies man and mustache I suppose you got what you wanted... I would have never thought he had MORE facial hair when he was younger then not only permed is hair but got a shave later, wtf, ok...
As for my project, finally going to finish cutting down the forest battle tonight...
Vegas crashed HARD yesterday. Spent hours fixing it. Still a testy thing if it's stable or not... it's hard to do these things on software you don't trust but moving on eh....
I'll be satisfied with it being over, cuz in my estimations once the forest batttle is cut down, it's only a matter of cutting down the movie here and there by at least 10 minutes to bring it down to the 2 hr 20 min mark and that should be watchable for most people.... I didn't think I was making a 2 hour anything but awww man that's how it came out when I cut it all together...
back to the grind stone...
