Did you just say, "this is a great scene" and then proceed to link an entire fucking movie?
nope, it should take you right to 1 hour , 14 minutes and 15 seconds where the scene occurs.
Damnit, I thought I was being funny in one way but ended up being funny in another way. fu.. fuck. =/
relax man. don't be so hard on yourself.
Here is another great scene for you: Leonard Nimoy plays a top-flight surgeon and medical researcher. It is one of the only times I've seen Lieutenant Columbo get angry. In this case ... he is trying to prevent a future homicide ... not merely figure out a recent homicide. So the stakes are higher in this case.
I loved it. The film starts off with relatively subtle social paranoia which grows into unease and then gets worse and worse. The feeling you are left with is incredibly unpleasant, like most of Aranofsky's movies. There is deeper stuff to talk about with the movie too,which is awesome, but I feel like the graphic brutal nature of some of the violence is just too much and detracts from the deeper points it was making. I was genuinely shocked at one point though, which hasn't happened to me in a very long time.
Maybe don't watch it if you suffer from anxiety.
JLaw is fucking great in this movie. She goes through alot. I don't see how it could have been fun to act haha.
Not much beyond the fact 3 movies are planned is known. D.B. Weiss and David Benioff and Rian Johnson are apparently planning the future of the Star Wars franchise.
Disney just so crazy, the schedule they released confirming this is nuts. For the next 8 years, we have Avatar and Star Wars films back to back. So we get a year of Star Wars hype into a year of Avatar hype!
I am genuinely more intrigued with how Avatar is than the Star Wars films, without Jedi (no matter the names) the films wont hook me, if it is just new stories with no Jedi i wont be interested and imo Rian Johnson last attempt at the Star Wars film, Episode 8 made me super unhyped that he was able to get a job for 3 solo movies.
Avatar though, genuinely intrigued to see where they go with that, he has 4 films lined up for it like so thats going to be interesting however it will be 2027!!!!!!!!! by the time we end that saga xD
The people dealing with star wars have a rocky road in front of them, they need to create new characters people want to see stories about, characters who are not in any way connected to the OT. So far everything was always about the OT in some form, that is imo where a certain fatigue came from. Compare that with marvel, you have so many different characters and stories to tell, and while everything is kinda connected because it takes place in the same universe, it is loosely connected and you can tell very different stories still. That is what star wars has to become at this point as well imo, being able to tell new stories and not just something connected to luke, darth vader and han solo over and over and over again.
Yes i agree, its going to be super hard to find new characters and get people to be hooked on them. Also the news is that the same people who are writing Game of Thrones Season 8 which has "divided" opinion at the least are in charge of the story arc and script in said trilogy so that doesn't bode well either.
One of the bigger challenges here is to make it still feel like star wars though, like in theory you could think that the guardians of the galaxy would be part of the star wars universe (just as an example), but it probably wouldn't really feel like star wars anymore at that point. So which elements does one have to include to make it star wars while still having the opportunity to make it fresh and exciting though, it's hard...
Yeah for me personally, if it doesn't have Jedi wielding lightsabers (not sure how to spell that world lol) in it, for me it won't feel like a Star Wars movie. It's different in Rogue One or in Solo's movie as that ties into the OT etc but in the new trilogy if its all just based around another race without Jedi i won't be into it, that is what made Star Wars for me, the side characters like Bobba Fett etc are fine but in small doses to compliment the Jedi vs Sith.
Disney taking over Lucasfilm is starting to resemble EA taking over a big game studio like Westwood.
The first EA game out of the newly acquired studio, C&C Generals, was good. The next RTS games coming out of that studio slowly got worse. I think "Rogue One" is the best Disney era Star Wars movie. The first movie under the new regime. Rogue One was good. The movies have slowly gotten worse from that point on.
I won't agree to that EA statement yet until after episode 9, if episode 9 is even worst than episode 8 and its still utter trash that Rian left it in, then i will conclude that they have EA'd it as well.
They should just start making plans for an extended SW universe. With a rollout plan like Marvel did. Isn't the extended SW universe good? I don't even know myself, but I seem to remember reading people thinking nice things about it lol

See but this is already so limiting, i am not saying that one wouldn't be able to tell some good stories with the same jedi vs sith concept, but personally i think it would be way more interesting to discover other aspects of the universe. I think the force itself has to be always more or less central if anything.
Now i am not sure if my theory about the SW fatigue is true and if yet another story with lightsaber wielding people would already turn people off or not, but the universe would imo feel rather small if that's all there is to the SW universe.

And yet the potential to get inspired by it still exists :O
Now if there is good material in there i have no idea, hardcore star wars fans at least say so

I don't think people are tired of lightsabers or jedi. I think their tired of shitty movies. If fatigue was a thing Marvel would be losing money, not breaking record after record.
If you make a movie that is enjoyable to watch and immerse in, none of the rest matters.

Marvel has enough different characters, all with their own special setting and scenario. This isn't as easy and simplistic as to look at the number of movies marvel releases compared to lucasfilm. Starwars movies so far always were connected to the OT, to the same old characters and symbols. I don't think it is that hard to imagine that there can be a certain fatigue. Marvel movies aren't all awesome either, but at least they tell stories about a lot of different characters, something for almost anyone. Now quality itself is obviously always some factor, but if there is anything marvel is good at it has to be the diversity in the characters and thus the stories they can tell. Starwars at the same time is about some good jedi vs some bad jedi or at least connected to this over and over and over again.

Manga is no franchise, it's just a collection of potential source material
None of those translate to movie franchises. Manga doesn't have the live-action component that makes it so easily consumable and identifiable, not to mention many of its conventions are off-putting and strange to the average Western consumer - a series like Dragonball Z is built around its specific animation style. Studios have hesitantly dipped their toes in the pool only to churn out subpar products lacking the charm and sensibility of the original inspirations.
The best bet would be one of the long-running IPs published in Shounen Jump. Not all of them provide diverse and expansive universes that can be mined for content though.

There's a 0.000000001% chance we get a KotOR 2 movie.
