Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Downright trolling the fans, this fucks up the continuity and makes the job of the next director extremely difficult, in service of yet another generic bloated action film.
Luke outright milks a giant alien cow, this is either massive troll move, or just a coincide. I don’t believe in coincidences.
Finn goes on a B-roll adventure with some girl and they free the horse/bloodhound analogues, but not the child labourers.
All these blockbusters are filmed in the UK, so there’s a lot of background people well known from other places with one line or less. I spotted the judge of the change from Dune: Part 1, the girl from the Nathan Barley pilot, Will from W1A (see Wicked Little Letters too), the Lady from inquiry in The Thick of It.
You should watch the Plinkett review, but don’t miss the Roger Deakins podcast too.
No wonder current “low-rent Spielberg” JJ Abrams hates him, Rian Johnson is the anti-Spielberg. His father loves him, supported him, and even visited him on set and shit.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
