And her kiss with Kylo was mere gratitude, not romantical.

FFS, SW is now a dumpster fire.

But Dr Who died worse, imo.

I'm calling it now. It's official.

Joker pulled in more at the box office than a freaking main Star Wars movie.


lol



The YouTube nerds should have fun with that one for a few days once one of them finally realize what has just happened here.

Not that I watch much these days, but I don't think I've torrented or even downloaded any movies or TV shows since 2012 at least. $40 bucks and 10 minutes of your time is all it takes. $25 if you catch a device on sale. Plenty of YT videos on how to do it, but look for a recent one since they're always updating it and making it better/easier. Back when I first did it, it was a huge pain but now it's so easy my grandma could do it.

Then you're not limited to watching it on your computer, and you don't have to put it on network storage to stream it to your TV either.

When Disney remakes Star Wars 9 (and you know they will like they did with Mary Poppins or Cinderella or Little Mermaid or Alice in Wonderland or . . .) I hope they use the script for Duel of the Fates rather than The Rise of Skywalker.

As of this morning, we don't know if Joker is still showing in any theaters or not. We thought it was gone last week, but then Wednesday night they put a whole week's worth of new numbers up. We also don't know at this point if Episode 9 is showing anywhere outside of the US anymore either.

CURRENT TOTALS:
JOKER: $1,073,750,538
EPISODE 9: $1,072,815,023

DIFFERENCE: $935,515

That is bullshit. Beauty comes from tossing ugly into the trashcan. Or if it is painting or movie, scrape off the ugly and paint over.

Oh really?

Art of the Beautiful Accidents-How to Embrace Failure

Let’s look at Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy from the 14th century, a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. Wabi-Sabi is embracing authenticity, by accepting ‘three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect’ (Powell, Richard R. 2004, Wabi Sabi Simple. Adams Media). In design and art it means finding, and therefore almost encouraging, the beauty in imperfection, and maybe even arguing that errors, damages and signs of aging are making artefacts more authentic, more interesting, and simply beautiful.

Art is all around us. While you may expect art to come from the talent and genius of a gifted human being, it turns out that the forces of nature are a rival to any of the creative giants that we have produced, and in some cases, even better!

12 Times Awesome Art Happened By Accident

Art always finds a way and we don’t necessarily have any say in it. Take a look at these accidental strokes of brilliance for example. If you saw them in a museum then you’d probably think they were the work of some masterly and highly-skilled artist. But they’re not. They’re accidents, and they’re all the better for it.

Go back to bitching about Trump all day, every day. You're wrong about everything you say, but at least you're good at complaining.

Some might even say that you accidentally turned it into an art form.

A movie is a huge industrial product made with the labor of thousands and you are comparing it to handcrafted art made by a single person. Industrial products are not accidentally good. You have to work and rework until it is right. J.J. Abrams did not have the time to rework anything. That is why Star Wars was trashy; he didn't throw away the ugly and stupid parts; he kept it all in the script; he filmed it in all its ugliness and stupidity; he sent it to the theaters because he was too busy on his other projects: his TV shows and other movies being simultaneously produced during the years Abrams was making Star Wars movies.

Look at all the crap J.J. Abrams makes each year: www.imdb.com/name/nm0009190/
When does he sleep? He is too busy making money to make good art.

In February 1977, Star Wars had grotesque story errors. Look at the video, again. The film was released in May 25, 1977. George Lucas was lucky to be only working on this movie. He had nothing to distract him from the upcoming fiasco/tragedy/failure/disappointment if he didn’t fix what he had done wrong during writing and filming. On the other hand, J.J Abrams was working on a dozen movies and TV shows at the same time he worked on his version of Star Wars. It sure does show in the final product. Abrams was distracted by all money he was making on his many side hustles.

The Open Crawl wasn’t right in early 1977.

1) The long and bad version:

The REPUBLIC GALACTICA is dead. Ruthless trader
barons, driven by greed and the lust for power, have
replaced enlightenment with oppression, and "rule by
the people" with the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE.

For over a thousand years, generations of JEDI
KNIGHTS were the guardians of peace and justice in the
galaxy. Now these legendary warriors are all but extinct.
One by one they have been hunted down and destroyed
by the sinister agents of the Emperor: the DARK LORDS
OF THE SITH.

It is a period of civil wars. Rebel Armies, striking from
fortresses hidden deep within the Great Rift, have won a
crushing victory over the powerful Imperial Starfleet.
The Emperor knows that one more such defeat will
bring a thousand more solar systems into the rebellion,
and Imperial control of the Outland systems could be
lost forever. To crush the rebellion once and for all, the
Emperor has sent one of his most ferocious Dark Lords
to find the secret rebel strongholds and destroy them…

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Star_Wars:_From_The_Adventures_of
_Luke_Starkiller

2) The short and good version:

It is a period of civil war.
Rebel spaceships, striking
from a hidden base, have won
their first victory against
the evil Galactic Empire.

During the battle, Rebel
spies managed to steal secret
plans to the Empire's
ultimate weapon, the DEATH
STAR, an armored space
station with enough power
to destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire's
sinister agents, Princess
Leia races home aboard her
starship, custodian of the
stolen plans that can save her
people and restore
freedom to the galaxy.…

Can you see the difference between 1) and 2) ?
George Lucas couldn't. Brian De Palma had to write 2) for him and browbeating him into using it.

Frozen II far out performed Star Wars.

I'll spoil Frozen II: the big difference in the two Frozen movies is that Princess Elsa is frozen in Frozen, while Princess Anna is frozen into an ice sculpture in Frozen II. Switching frozen Princesses caused the ticket sales to increase! Or maybe it is ticket price inflation.

What is the story for Frozen III? Princesses Elsa and Anna are both frozen into ice sculptures! With two frozen Princesses it will make twice as much money.

With two frozen Princesses it will make twice as much money as either of the previous movies.

For Frozen IV, Disney freezes a Prince. It will be as great as any Star Wars Trilogy.
