Sounds like it would work as a comedy melodrama in screenplay form. Like an Ace Attorney game or something.

The point is, like if you paint your house white and somebody comes over, 'Well that should be a green house.' Well, fine, but I wanted to paint it white. I don't think there was anything wrong with painting it white. I don't think there's anything wrong with me for painting it white. Maybe it should be a green house, but I didn't want it to be a green house. I wanted it to be a white house.

I agree and I've been trying to think of a different way to use Finn and Poe in this movie while keeping all the great Kylo/Rey/Luke stuff but it is surprisingly hard without just giving them a random fetch-quest to do.

Kojima's early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when MGS2 came out in '01, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole game has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the gameplay a big boost.

cringery marvel humor

Yeah the whole part in the beginning where what's his name was pretending he couldn't hear the imperial officer really was ripped straight from Marvel

What bothered me about that wasn't just that it wasn't that funny, but that it was poorly timed. When you watch a lot of movies that are action comedy, or just not straight-up comedies, they almost never undermine the bad guys with jokes and zingers. If they do, they do it less and less frequently the earlier into the movie you go, because the bad guys need to be taken at least somewhat seriously.

Not that every movie has to be the same, but take Mulan for example (just because I happened to watch it yesterday). At the start, the Huns are played 100% straight-faced. They don't stumble over the walls, the Chinese guards don't throw one-liners at them or hit them with frying pans. They're terrified and everything is as serious as a heart attack. Then the comedy comes - and when it does, the Huns are rarely if ever the subject of it. If anything they get MORE menacing as the movie goes on.

The wacky being on hold stuff might have been fine a little further into the movie or something, but it's baffling to me that they thought to put it in so early (or at all, because it's not that funny).

There's so much wrong with this I couldn't fit it into one post. If you mean the entire subplot of Finn and Rose doing their own mission, it was vitally important to the story. If you mean the three minutes where they're in the casino, then sure, maybe that could've been skipped and FInn and Rose could have been arrested when they parked illegally, but there's something to be said for worldbuilding, and the casino was hella interesting to look at.

Was it though? It seemed like it only existed to solve a contrivance the movie invented so they would have something to do. I'd hardly call it 'vitally important' to the story.

I think it's a golden age of movies and TV to be honest.

You just need to look for it, and thankfully these days it's easy to access.

I love how people strain to try to not give George Lucas much credit or acknowledge how talented he is when he's responsible for the whole damn franchise and had to fight nearly everybody on the road to making A New Hope.

the redlettermedia effect

They acknowledge that he has a lot of creativity and skill, it's just that they also point out in the prequels he's surrounded by Yes Men and has no one to reign him in like he had in the OT.


Yes, this is true and can be seen in this video.


Lucas crosses out a lot of storyboards and no-one intervenes. They just stand there, looking confused.

Stalolin

I think the visual gags that do this are always better and generally hold up well. It's usually the crappy dialogue that doesn't age well and makes it painful on a repeat viewing (or a viewing that doesn't have a theater full of people chuckling).

One-liners CAN work and hold up over time, they just have to be good. I think a lot of it in Marvel movies or the latest Star Wars doesn't hold up because they're not thought about as much or not constructed as jokes. Usually dry or sarcastic humour works better, which is where I think Marvel and other movies these days fall short. If you're trying to diffuse tension or show your movie doesn't take itself too seriously, a sarcastic/dry take on things works much better than something zany.

Think of anything anyone says in Age of Ultron vs some of the stuff Bill Murray says in Ghostbusters. Like, "Let's split up" - "Good idea, we can do more damage that way" is STILL funny to me every time, but when I watched Age of Ultron again recently and heard the "hide the zucchini line" it was poison.

It doesn't have to be that way or in that exact style of course, but you get my point.
