What a coincidence that we always need some megablockbuster right now, and never weird transgressive art from people who don't have $100,000,000 to spend.

Gotta laugh at apparently grown adults on here trying to It’s The Movie We Need for the Mandalorian movie, the movie that very clearly only got made because Disney wanted “parks and merch” synergy and which no one at Lucasfilm wanted to make

www.rogerebert.com/reviews/star... I wish more reviews called out when a movie looks - visually speaking - like absolute sludge (or great!). Happy to see MZS touch on it

And there was nothing that we could do about it. Babu Frik was a made man, and Grogu wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it. It was among the Mandalorians. It was real greaseball shit. They even shot Grogu in the face so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral.

I was never excited for the Baby Yoda movie (just the absolute wrong move from every perspective) but genuinely shocked that everything I’m hearing about the He-Man movie makes it sound way better than yet another 80s nostalgia mining operation has any right to be

Star Wars coming back to the cinema after *7 years* should've been a bigger deal but the best they could muster is the kind of movie that gets backhanded compliments normally reserved for AntMan 3: Quantamania

Still can’t believe they made a Star Wars movie with “Grogu” in the title. Bonkers

They’re doing an avant-garde marketing bit where every clip of this disaster is worse than the last

The Assassination of the Mandalorian by the Coward Grogu

Cinematography and lighting: $2.50 Puppetry supplies and puppeteer salaries: $100M Someone please help me with my Star Wars movie budget

The US has a pedophile president and the movie thats a monument to a pedophile musician is doing gangbusters. Truly, we are the United States of Epstein

The Baby Yoda movie marketing is really something else isn’t it

Another thing about that clip is that after 3 seasons of Mando I fundamentally don’t buy that he would ever be scared of four stormtroopers in a car in any circumstance. And judging from the clips of him in the movie destroying a half dozen of them at a time I don’t think the movie changes this

Why does it look so bland and washed out. Like I'm TROS' biggest hater but it looked like a movie. This is like the cinematic equivalent of overcooked porridge. That's before you even get to how boring and lame the scene is. Baby Groot ass comedy in 2026. Dross.

1. George Lucas is objectively a better filmmaker than JJ Abrams in every instance, facet and measure. 2. Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Christopher Lee, Ian McDiarmid, Samuel L. Jackson, Temuera Morrison, Frank Oz, Ronald Falk, Andy Secombe and Anthony Phelan. 3. lol

Everything about the Mando movie is mid as shit but in particular they’re clearly so in love with their sauceless unoriginal AT-ATs in the snow thing. Sends me right to sleep. Begging these hacks to find a new idea that isn’t just ripping off George

Someone should tell Obama that the war on Iran will result in a left wing challenger winning a Democratic seat, maybe then he’d speak out against it

It’s very important that everyone see the disgraceful way all the bootlicking imperial vassals (Germany, Australia, UK etc) speak about an entirely unprovoked war of aggression their overlord started for no reason - just repeatedly blaming the victim. Because they’re racist imperialists themselves

Excited for the new Star Trek show to come after this, when every episode someone will turn directly to the camera and lecture the audience about what a great leader Benjamin Netanyahu was

Marvel refusing to move AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY from the same opening weekend as DUN3 is giving this vibe.

The year is 2096. Everyone whose first memory of Star Wars was watching the original film in the cinema is long dead. Lucasfilm is about to release its first Star Wars movie after 2027’s Starfighter. The marketing talks about how it’s just like the original trilogy and uses real practical effects

“Normalize that it’s acceptable to defy the U.S.” oh no don’t threaten me with a good time

As Iran continues to successfully defy the genocidal morons in the imperial core and the economic damage increases, you can be positive that the imperial maniacs will absolutely prefer to drown the world in blood and immiserate everyone rather than admit defeat and humiliation

“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say

Cold take but the devastation being visited upon Iran is just the latest in a long line of exhibits that if you think American wars are ever “surgical” or that their vicious imperial violence machine can just attack “the regime” or “military targets” you are the mark to end all marks. Grow up

I cant even begin to grasp how insane this is... Thinking you can trick god into starting the rapture early. Imagine believing in God but also believing hes a gullible dunce that you can pull a fast one on

Just a few weeks ago, all these European powers spoke of the threat that the US now presents to Europe. They talked about the possibility of Trump attacking Greenland, like it was an imminent and existential danger. Now Trump unilaterally bombs Iran and they all fall in lockstep

Perfidy is a war crime. The US keeps doing it and acting like they’re so clever for figuring out this one neat trick. Insane to take these psychos at their word, ever

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

democrats actually love that he didn't get congressional approval because that gives them a fig leaf to pretend to have been against it. they want this to happen and they're stoked they didn't have to put their names on it, and they're gonna ask you for 50 bucks about it

It’s clear that despite the U.S. negotiating in complete bad faith Iran still agreed to a deal, it was ready to be signed and then they attacked anyway. The US is run by Nazis and if you’re picking this moment to concern troll about Irans human rights record or whatever the fuck you are scum

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls. But since she asked, "Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States." www.militaryonesource.mil/education-em...

My “I am not launching an aggressive war tshirt” is prompting a lot of questions answered by this tshirt

Fuck the U.S. and fuck Israel

The kind of babies who soyfaced at the execrableTransformers Rise of the Beasts and its GI Joe crossover tease currently workshopping the best Landis apologetics they can think of

Important facet of this is that the Venn diagram of TROS apologists and MCU capeshit apologists is a circle. Exact same people, comes from the exact same space (ie loyalty to Disney as a brand above all else)

I’m sure TROS apologists will quickly bundle me in as an overall sequel hater to make some kind of fake political aspersions. Nope only lost the 5 stars because TROS is so terrible it retroactively hurt the movie. Which #TheHuntForBenSolo can restore to its greatness again.

The prequels were made by the creator of Star Wars. Good or bad they’re the artistic vision of an artist. Rise of Skywalker was made by Bob Iger. A soulless capitalist robot who gave Disney money to a genocide state and made it with the intention of capitulating to the Nazi incel side of fandom.

Love ppl claiming a compromised, reactionary cynical mess (TROS) is "still better than the prequels”- it just screams deep frustration that the 2000s nerd industrial complex consensus about the prequels was upended. TROS was instrumental in discrediting their dumbass criticisms of the prequels.

I like how they switched over to TLJ - probably because they know doubling down on their original TROS apologetics is too embarrassing to carry the post

It’s very important to not let people convince your friends that Picard S3 is the good one. It’s not, it’s Force Awakens for the worst Next Generations fans you know and has just as much merit (ie very little)

Tony Gilroy says make #TheHuntforBenSolo

I love that the post editorializes that they wasted Soderbergh’s time (something Soderbergh didn’t explicitly say but clearly implied). They absolutely did and they should catch as much shit as possible for it. And then greenlight the movie.

1978: George Lucas loses the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture to pedophile Woody Allen 2026: George Lucas is ranked below pedophiles Bill Gates and Elon Musk on Forbes' list of greatest living American innovators

It’s so bleak do something new I am begging you

I’ve harped on it before but Mando has been out for 7 years and they have never shown a single new Rebel fighter. Nothing but OT X-Wings. Now it’s coming to cinemas and all they can manage is OT X-Wings. Just creatively bankrupt. Washed. Lucas would find this shameful

“Everything I offer of value is present in this boring clip” is not something I would eagerly admit.
