Star Wars, cheesy? Never!

(they have the anthology movies to fuck with the formula a bit)

"Vendortainment" is a good name for what this and the genre stuff covered by ComiCon

Purves Grundy (kingfish), Monday, 19 October 2015 19:15 (eight years ago) link

....has become.

Purves Grundy (kingfish), Monday, 19 October 2015 19:15 (eight years ago) link

good options:
1) the whole movie is just a text scroll
2) halfway through the scroll, there's a needle-scratching-the-record noise and a bunch of jawas wobble through the frame, movie starts
3) text scroll says, in its entirety, "awwwwwwwww YEAH STAR WARS BITCH"

they recycled some bit of john williams fanfare to replace the 20th century fox intro

balls, Monday, 19 October 2015 19:19 (eight years ago) link

maybe the text scroll will inexorably crush jar jar to death

i'm counting on jj abrams to do something lame but i guess at least SW isn't sharing the same universe with earth so there won't be scenes of drunk han in a bar listening to beastie boys

nomar, Monday, 19 October 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link

or whatever the hell happened in chris pine star trek

nomar, Monday, 19 October 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link

there's a character called Ello Atsy

no joke

Number None, Monday, 19 October 2015 19:23 (eight years ago) link

Again, I don't know how much money I'd pay Abrams to drop a Beastie Boys song into the new Star Wars movie, but it's a lot of money.

Don't Call Me A Lunkhead, You Dingbat! (Old Lunch), Monday, 19 October 2015 19:29 (eight years ago) link

OH: an extended Jar Jar dance number set to a Beastie Boys song. Please. Please.

Don't Call Me A Lunkhead, You Dingbat! (Old Lunch), Monday, 19 October 2015 19:32 (eight years ago) link

The chances that the name "Ello Asty" is going to be spoken on-screen are approximately one in a kazillion.

Resting Bushface (Phil D.), Monday, 19 October 2015 19:40 (eight years ago) link

Many/most of the names we "know" for characters in the OT were never spoken on screen.

Resting Bushface (Phil D.), Monday, 19 October 2015 19:40 (eight years ago) link

I have some recollection of Klaatu, Barada, and Nikto being addressed onscreen by name at some point.

kinda cheezy to go back to that "force" well

Sufjan Grafton, Monday, 19 October 2015 20:10 (eight years ago) link

in other news, is anyone buying their ticket tonight?

i think i will just be a regular person & buy a ticket at the theater

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 October 2015 20:19 (eight years ago) link

There is a particular audience that I'm sure will happily flock to the screenings of Episode VII which require them to purchase their ticket months in advance. I do not want to attend those particular screenings.

Don't Call Me A Lunkhead, You Dingbat! (Old Lunch), Monday, 19 October 2015 20:22 (eight years ago) link

My kid has been being me to take him to this ever since I mentioned that I did the same thing for Phantom Menace. I'm a little bummed that I have to try and execute an Internet ticket transaction late at night and I have to watch a goddamn football game to get the cue about when I'm able to but them.

how's life, Monday, 19 October 2015 20:34 (eight years ago) link

Buy them.

how's life, Monday, 19 October 2015 20:35 (eight years ago) link

but them, definitely but them

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 October 2015 20:56 (eight years ago) link

:)

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 October 2015 20:56 (eight years ago) link

text crawl is obviously 100%, but i'm still weighing the odds on whether it will be preceded by a black screen with sylvester stallone's voice declaring "let's do this."

Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:03 (eight years ago) link

i have to go out for dinner, do you think it'll be ok to shush the whole restaurant when the trailer comes on MNF?

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:08 (eight years ago) link

most definitely

μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:45 (eight years ago) link

frankly, what kind of respectable establishment wouldn't demand silence from its patrons in that scenario?

Number None, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:54 (eight years ago) link

any respectable establishment

Οὖτις, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:55 (eight years ago) link

well I just rang Le Bernardin to check and they said they're shutting down service for the duration

Number None, Monday, 19 October 2015 22:00 (eight years ago) link

if anyone plays this in my presence I'll probably just loudly talk over it

Οὖτις, Monday, 19 October 2015 22:01 (eight years ago) link

that's the spirit! crush that childlike sense of joy!

a llove spat over a llama-keeper (forksclovetofu), Monday, 19 October 2015 22:06 (eight years ago) link

Joy is ®™ Disney Corp, of course

a llove spat over a llama-keeper (forksclovetofu), Monday, 19 October 2015 22:06 (eight years ago) link

joy hasn't been a component of this cultural juggernaut for at least 3 decades

Οὖτις, Monday, 19 October 2015 22:09 (eight years ago) link

keep grinding that axe

μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 19 October 2015 22:11 (eight years ago) link

Love Han Solo going from "ancient weapons and hokey religions" to "the dark side, the Jedi, it's all true."

Resting Bushface (Phil D.), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 02:24 (eight years ago) link

lotta ppl find religion right before they die

I always felt bad that the droids had to ride in the rumble seat in the X-Wing. The trend continues when BB-8 tags along with Llewyn Davis.

Han and Leia in sad hug as troops look on followed by a Falcon in flames about to crash into something = Bye Han (and Chewie)? Looks good. Still too much. damn. lensflare. Abrams haha

Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 02:51 (eight years ago) link

oh wait - I got those scenes reversed. Rewatch!

Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 02:52 (eight years ago) link

i am going to watch this in a movie theater

zoso def (m bison), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 03:01 (eight years ago) link

I'm gonna call it right now - the biggest problem with this movie will be the filler. A pronlem shared by certain Star Wars remakes and epic films like The Hobbit part 3.
