Star Wars Fans Are (Officially) The Worst

Hey, I like Star Wars. I hated the Ewoks. I liked Midichlorians. I hated Jar Jar Binks. I like The Force Awakens. I'm indifferent towards the spinoffs. I'm okay with the prequels. I really like The Last Jedi. 

There's a vocal fan group that really hated Star Wars because Rian Johnson killed their childhood dreams and their expectations. Honestly, no one asked you to make your life all about Snoke theories and Rey's parentage. So if Johnson had another idea than you did, deal with it. He's the filmmaker and you're supposed to watch it.

I didn't really like Solo and some people have been boycotting the movie. They boycotted the film not because it was an unnecessary move by Disney in attempt to cash in from the IP, but because The Last Jedi sucked according to them. Which is sad because people who hated The Last Jedi pretty much would love Solo. In a The Last Jedi quotable quote, Kylo Ren said, "let the past die, kill it if you have to." And boy did TLJ, killed all traces of nostalgia in exchange for a fresh, unexpected take. It didn't feel right at first because Star Wars had been all about throwbacks. But I decided to give it another watch and some thought and I like the direction they're going. While Solo, fully embraced the nostalgia, even milking it. So them TLJ haters would definitely dig Solo, but they wouldn't know.

Recently a sub-group launched an initiative to remake The Last Jedi. Haha. yes, they wanted to remake a 200 million movie which had people all around the world working on it and that movie actually made over a billion dollars. I'll just put this poll that they made here.

That is just sad. Haha. No one wanted The Last Jedi remake. 

And who made their hashtag? Donald Trump?

Really, #LastJediAwful could really belong in a Trump tweet.

If only they realized that they actually got a well-made, singular-vision film.

Unlike the DCEU. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut right?

Was It Trailers Week or Something

First of all, someone said in the last post that he would post a review of Avengers: Infinity War. Where is it now?

In the past three days, there has been a boatload of new film trailers for 2018 (also for 2019). Let's see which one looks promising. 

Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It-Ralph 2
Starring: John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman
Director: Rich Moore

Really, really unnecessary long title, also outdated too. 'Break the internet' was a thing in 2014 I think. It also has that Emoji Movie vibe and a really bad Disney advertising. "Take me to a website that's super intense and really nuts!" Goes to Walt Disney website and meets Disney princesses. *Eyerolllllll. I look forward to have my doubts lifted.

Mortal Engines
Starring: Hera Hilmar, Hugo Weaving
Director: Christian Rivers

Not familiar with the book but I'm glad that this film don't have the ugly, obvious-CGI look that The Hobbit trilogy has.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
Starring: Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks
Director: Mike Mitchell

Looks solid, even if it's half as funny as the first one it's going to be alright. Let's just hope it's not as bad as Ninjago. 

Operation Finale
Starring: Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley
Director: Chris Weitz

Great ensemble led by Oscar Isaac. So great to see Melanie Laurent, Joe Alwyn and even Nick Kroll in a serious role in the trailer. Also, how fun it is to see Ben Kingsley from playing Itzhak Stern to Hitler's lieutenant.

Bumblebee

Starring: Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena
Director: Travis Knight

This one looks promising. Very 80s Spielberg vibe and that could work. I'm still going to laugh for the fact that this was the only thing that the much publicized writers room can conjure up as a spinoff. Excited to (not) see John Cena, because that guy's on track to surpass The Rock. The film is going to face stiff competition though in Christmas.

Suspiria
Starring: Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton
Director: Luca Guadagnino

Full disclosure I have never seen the original, but this one looks terrifying and great. I am all in for Dakota Johnson in anything but the Fifty Shades franchise. Also Tilda Swinton in everything.

Sharp Objects
Starring: Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson
Director: Jean Marc Vallee

A yes for any film that utilizes Amy Adams' talents to the full potential. Also, a big yes to Jean Marc Vallee who directed Big Little Lies with such a style (that bleeds over to this one).

White Boy Rick
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Richie Merritt
Director: Yann Demange

Very cool trailer, very badass McConaughey. Great ensemble cast too.

The Old Man and the Gun
Starring: Robert Redford, Casey Affleck
Director: David Lowery

I'm sold already with the vibe and the cast. I think this was meant to be Redford's last film before he retires. But there's also the fact that David Lowery directed this! A Ghost Story was the weirdest but reflective experience ever and I'm looking forward to this one.

Widows
Starring: Viola Davis, Cynthia Erivo
Director: Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen. Gillian Flynn. Daniel Kaluuya. Viola Davis. Jon Bernthal. Michele Rodriguez. Brian Tyree Henry. Liam Neeson. Elizabeth Debicki. Cynthia Erivo. Michelle Rodriguez. Jackie Weaver. Colin Farrell. Robert Duvall. Carrie Coon. I am here for this movie.

I tried to rank the trailers but they all look so good (except for Wreck it Ralph 2, which I personally don't like).

I hope there's more posts from me too.
