  • its weird… when i was younger i used to mix up leslie nielson and liam neeson, and now they’re doing a reboot with him? it’s just like… did whoever was pitching this movie forget the dude was deceased, accidentally fuck up their names and they’re just like going along with it?

        I feel like being honest about your past thoughts and deficiencies is better than acting like an MSNBC reporter claiming that they’ve never done anything wrong ever in their lives.

          It’s a step in the right direction for sure, no one is perfect. Most of us were probably raised by someone with bigoted views and likely held similar beliefs until having our own life experiences.

    Oh shit… I know you’re not a USAian but if you look up famous US comedians from like… the 60’s/70’s that had a movie career like Richard Pryor and then go find a bunch of the movies they starred in… holy fuck are they bizarre and bad.

    I wonder if its the same in other Western countries? Were there comedians that were so popular they starred in a ton of movies just trying to make a buck of the fact that “famous comedian” was in the movie?

      Have you heard of the “alternate” way to watch the start wars series? It involves the first 6 5 movies in order to tell anakins story instead of luke’s. I tried it and thought it was a pretty good way of viewing, maybe Youve heard of it? If not, ill elaborate. (For clarity we will label the movies in the story’s chronological order, episode 1-3 is the new trilogy, 4-6 is OG trilogy)

      First, watch episode 4 and 5, with vaders reveal. Then, watch episode 2 and 3, which function as flashbacks to adolescent Anakin and the story of his fall (ep1 is skipped in this viewing).

      Finally, come back to episode 6 for his redemption.

      I thought it was cool anyway, and this viewing method makes it easier for me, a crotchety OG only type, to enjoy the prequels a bit

        That’s interesting, not sure I’ll do it (big time commitment), unless I cut out all of the non-vader scenes in the OG. The last time I watched the prequels was to get references for star wars droids to maybe 3D print my own star wars character.
