SW - Star Wars

Max Landis appears to be famous only because of his dad and his misogyny.  I think Bullshit Artist is the only artistic title he can lay claim to.

I really liked Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency :(

One of my favourite musicians was infamous for beating his wives. Artists are messed up in the head. Even bullshit ones. They have to be. It's what makes them artists.

If I boycotted all media from people whom I object to, I wouldn't be consuming media at all! Actually, that's not a bad idea...
 
I enjoy Max Landis' creative work but yes he's a total asshole and I would never want to hang out with him or talk to him.
 
Never seen (or even heard of) The DG thing (movie? show?) even though I've read the book many times.

I don't boycott all media by someone I think is a terrible person (I still watch Ghostbusters and Ferris Bueller despite Jeffrey Jones) but it's nonsense to claim you can't create something artistic unless you're messed up in the head.

I'm guessing he "fixes" the Star Wars universe by getting all the damn uppity females to shut the hell up and get back in the kitchen where they belong.

Actually, he makes a statement similar to one I made about Ep. 7 back in '16: that it would have been better had it spent significantly more time with Rey, gradually building up her character. And since I have little interest in adjudicating the relative woke-ness of Landis' brain, I'll just leave it at that.  :p
 
And to think that Max Landis wants to remake An American Werewolf in London for no     good reason.

At first I drafted the beginnings of a big, long, classically L8wrtr response to this, but then I came to my senses. 

Instead I'll settle for  a much more simple response.

Whatever dude.

It's a show on Netflix. I definitely recommend it if you've read the book. It felt like Elijah Wood had fallen straight out of Wilfred, into this. But otherwise it's pretty great!
And yeah, I was being a bit facetious. Mental illness isn't a pre-requisite for talent, however it is often supplemental to it. There's a reason most of the great comedians have/had depression.
This doesn't just apply to art, either. Newton was a freaking weirdo, the Roosevelts had depression, Euler went blind from staring at the sun and the United States owes its existence to a babbling lunatic that shat blue.

Obviously the ideal to strive towards is both having talent AND mental stability. ;)

Having no good reason didn't stop him making any of his other movies!
*sigh* He needs to get back into the world of making high-quality YouTube shitposts.

EDIT: Wasn't this thread about Star Wars? :p

Sounds like you're only looking in the junk food aisle of art?
 
uggg. I love those Millennial Falcon videos. Jenny is great.  But Landis... FTG.
 
Kenobi: A Star Wars Story

Possibly/probably, anyway.

Assuming Ewan McGregor's back, consider me on board.  He was one of the better parts of the prequels.  


Meanwhile...

That shot of Chewie looks remarkably good in monochrome.  Black and Durasteel fanedit potential?

Thank you so much for being the only one I've seen to say "Possibly/probably." Every media outlet is reporting as "confirmed" and "official" something that THR attributes to an unconfirmed source. Disney and Lucasfilm have not commented on the matter at all. Even the director is only mentioned as being "in talks." 

I don't doubt that the idea is being spitballed around Lucasfilm. It's one of the earliest ideas that even the fans immediately thought of when the spinoffs were announced. But it drives me crazy when gossip from a source that refuses to state their name or go on the record starts getting quoted as "confirmed" and "official." 

Mind you, Lucasfilm may read all this good buzz and decide to go for it after all, and I'd be perfectly happy with that. I want to finally see Ewan McGregor's excellent Obi-Wan performance in an actual good movie.

My dream is the Coen Brothers making a No Country/Logan style film with an aged Obi-Wan. But I'll settle for the bloke that made The Hours, even if he hasn't made a good film since it... :/
 
I truy hope the rumour surrounding an Obi-Wan Kenobi solo film is true.  Even though the period has already been touched, it would really be a treasure with a good script.
 
I like this guy's videos. They are always droll.

 
There are lots of dumb, mildly amusing Star Wars parody videos on the Internets... so I decided to make yet another. What can I say... I'm an Elton John fan.  :p

 
Directors are dropping from Star Wars faster than staff from the White House.
 
I must watch 'The Book of Henry' sometime out of morbid curiosity. It must have been pretty damn bad to eat up all the goodwill Trevorrow had from directing/writing the 1.7bn mega hit that was Jurassic World.

I'd like to see JJ Abrams back to finish out the new trilogy. He knew how to make a film that felt deep down like classic SW (regardless of any criticism that might be made of surface details... and I have few of those).
