I daresay the guy who did it will get some cool work as a result of it. I'm guessing Adam can't say the same for his contributions to ilx.
― it's getting ott in here / so take off all your clothes (stevie), Thursday, 26 May 2016 11:33 (eight years ago) link
actually i've gotten some good work from ilx. some music videos. some songs. some cool stuff.
this is sort of cute, i will give it that, but visually dull. and i'm pretty sure competition for art & design work at Disney is tough and most portfolios would take a crap all over this.

this should be filed this under Baconing of Minimalism.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 26 May 2016 21:29 (eight years ago) link
also tbh i feel like the standard for being above criticism on ILX has to be something higher than "the creator will probably get some good work from it." people get all kinds of work out of viral-ready mediocrity all the time. not everything that takes a long time to do is all that great.

I think the standard for criticism should be higher than "that took a lot of time." Smacks of "that guy had too much free time, right?"
― schwantz, Thursday, 26 May 2016 22:02 (eight years ago) link
Yeah okay, that's fair. I think I sort of inserted some words from my own reaction to the piece, which was that it was taking me an inordinately long time to consume and yet without producing any kind of joy or critical insight or anything so that I suddenly went "why am I still clicking forward in this?"
― bucyrus ohio, vus cun nus en l’aria (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 26 May 2016 22:06 (eight years ago) link
Yeah. Movie-converted-to-flowchart, while impressive, is not the most exciting medium.

How about this: it took someone a whole lot of time to produce something that's kinda neat but ultimately really boring, and which 99.99% of people will never finish beyond the first few scrolls.

yo AB, throw "CHEWBACON" on that and you've got yourself something that might go viral even faster than dude's laborious scrolling star wars graphic

I might like the infographic concept more if it were applied to a different movie. Star Wars is so trampled at this point that things like this stop being impressive.
― jmm, Friday, 27 May 2016 21:46 (eight years ago) link
or like... across the top it could say "CHEWBACON SAYS..." and across the bottom it could say "LET THE BACON WIN." i dunno just spitballing here, don't spend too much time on it.
― bucyrus ohio, vus cun nus en l’aria (Doctor Casino), Friday, 27 May 2016 21:46 (eight years ago) link
yeah, that's fair jmm. i mean it'd be cool if you really felt like it was being used analytically to reveal something about the movie's structure or pacing or density of dialogue versus silence or something like that. like the author realized woah there's this crazy thing going on in movie X and this was the best way they found to depict that. instead it's just fanart for the illustrator cartoonoid generation.

i rewatched this tonight at home with my kids who hadn’t seen it since it came out in the cinema i.e. many lifetimes ago. they both remembered and dreaded the scene where han dies.at one point my younger son (8) goes “why are they called the first order now?” and in reply his brother (10) says matter-of-factly “they changed the name when disney bought it”.

It just occurred to me that I can no longer remember anything about the plot of this movie. I remember a few moments in it -- Rei walking on walls or something, a basement scene with a diminutive creature and some kind of magical memory awakening, images of middle-aged leia and han, Adam Driver yelling, John Boyega breathing a lot, Oscar Isaac maybe crashed? Or was that John Boyega?

Oscar Isaac and John Boyega stole a tie fighter, which was the best part of the movie imo
