    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    The acting coach bit is something that strikes me as having been specifically included the way it was to generate buzz for the piece. I don't doubt that they brought one in for Ehrenreich at all. Lot's of actors, even accomplished ones, utilize coaches of various sorts for certain performances...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    If by sides you mean Lucasfilm (ie. Kennedy/Kasdan) vs. Lord and Miller then I'm not on anyone's side either. Not in this clusterfuck at least (though I am firmly in the "No George, you just stay on the ranch and enjoy retirement." camp). Mainly because a lot of the information making it's way...

    Holland is under contract (with Sony) for 6 movies and the current working arrangement between the two studios only includes 5 of those. Incidentally Tom Holland did say in an interview promoting Homecoming that his understanding was that Venom is not part of the MCU. Is 'Venom' a Part of the...

    Maybe they're just not reading the right articles. You don't see interviews with editors making the rounds that much (outside of directors who do their own editing) but of the ones I've read where they're talking about the process itself, to a man they've all said that something can't make it...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Do you mean as a favor to Spielberg? It was Harrison Ford who got on George Lucas' radar, ultimately, by doing some carpentry work for Coppola way back when.

    Twin Peaks

    When the rest of your show makes Trent Reznor seem as normal as some white bread crooner from the 1950's by comparison you've really done something.

    Twin Peaks

    I've never believed otherwise but now I think even the mere possibility of doubt has been removed; David Lynch had one hell of a good time in the 60's. That just might have been the weirdest shit I have ever stuck with to watch through to completion.

    Yeah I couldn't see Cersei willingly parting with any child of hers, regardless of who the father was.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Joffrey was one of the best pieces of casting in the history of television that really doesn't get mentioned as much as it should. And an unknown actor at that. When people talk about the creative genius behind the show you always hear about the show runners Weiss and Benihoff, one or two of...

    Some fan spotted Lawrence Kasdan arriving in Heathrow Airport, presumably to start making preparations to resume active production on the movie. You can tell what kind of week that man has had.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    That's the thing though. If they cack things up with the anthology movies then they're likely to retreat even further into familiar (ie. formulaic) territory with the sagas. That was pretty much Trevorrow's entire game in Jurassic World so I wasn't expecting anything beyond the predictable...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think he's mixing in some info from the set pics that came out a while back to extrapolate some of that because some of that stuff he points out isn't recognizable to me, even as stills, from the trailer alone.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I dunno how accurate all of this is since these types of stories are always built out of the whispers of people who don't want to be named and at times are more spin that fact. Frankly some of it does come off to me as damage control and face saving. And SWNN is generally very positive in it's...

    He was Corellian by birth but he studied at the Imperial academy on Carida where he graduated as a lieutenant. He served a brief stint in the Imperial Navy before being dishonorably discharged, under the old canon.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I know that part of Han's backstory (his time in the Imperial Navy, I don't think he was ever specifically a stormtrooper but rather a pilot) has been around a long time but it was flushed when all of the EU stuff was relegated to Legends status. George Lucas very nearly scrapped it himself...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Ever since they announced their intention to make these anthology movies I have wanted to see them use them to, slowly, nudge the franchise out of the fairly small box is has constructed for itself. One that some fans seem hell bent on it remaining in. It needs to become something more than it...

    When the options for chest decoration are an awesome looking miniature reactor or a shallow pit slowly filling in with scar tissue the choice is easy.

    Not an inspiring choice imo. Yes he's made some pretty good movies over the years but it's been quite a few of those years since one of them was. And if you had asked me before all of this would I like to see a Ron Howard take on Star Wars I would have taken a pass. Though I don't know if it...

    Nice. It does require splicing together with the earlier shot of her lying in bed with the covers down to fully appreciate the virtues of the ensemble though.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I don't think you can chalk Trank's shitcanning by Lucasfilm up to problems created by a generational gap. By all accounts the guy showed his ass as flagrantly as he possibly could during production on F4. Simon Kinberg was a producer on that movie as well as an assortment of projects with...

    Great episode and certainly one of the series' best so far. Several highlights not the least of which was learning that Kim looks pretty good in just a ribbed tank top and PJ bottoms.
