Making my partner watch Wrath of Khan for the first time: Them: “Wait, how did they not know they were on the same planet Khan was on?” Me, pausing the movie and pulling up multiple diagrams Trekkies have made of the Ceti Alpha system trying to make sense this clusterfuck: “Bear with me”

Certain internet media criticism circles have developed shared a delusion that artistic quality is an objective standard that can be determined empirically. This is the inevitable result.

Why isn’t Oppenheimer in the Barbie movie? It’s more complicated than you might think…

disclaimer, enjoy or hate your movies as you see fit. But don't be surprised if your ignorance gets called out since too many people confuse "objectivity" with "critical" and "critical" with "hatred."

Me whenever someone uses the phrases: -Objectively bad -made to sell toys -no main character -no stakes -force is bacteria -CGI bad, only practical when referring to a SW film they personally they didn't like but act like their opinion makes them morally and genetically superior to those who do

There’s just something truly magical about the design of this ship. Whatever way you look at it, from whatever angle, it always looks slick, sharp, beautiful. It intuitively FEELS like a spaceship from the future…

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

it's not even *just* evil. it's also promising a kind of technological immortality that is actually impossible with the technology they're using. even if this kid somehow has not gotten bored with talking to a shitty chatbot made from a 3 minute video call with his grandmother in multiple decades...

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

People sometimes accuse me of “making the prequels my whole personality” but you have to understand, I like them and it’s unbelievably frustrating seeing people claim they’re “objectively bad” all the time. Feels like I’m defending my right to enjoy a movie! Just let me have this one thing please?🙏

ART IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD

“Wouldn’t it be messed up if the world was taken over by a hive mind?” is nowhere near as groundbreaking as some people are making it out to be. Still… it’s fine. It’s solid, classic, reliable, comfort-watch, b-movie sci-fi. I won’t be watching any more of it. Sorry Vince, not for me.

What an armed and fully-operational aurora…

It would be helpful if you watched the damn movie

The problem with The Phantom Menace is that I don’t have object permanence. If I don’t see something happen on the actual screen, it may as well have not happened in the story.

The Plinkett reviews contain an extended sequence where Mike Stoklassa argues that black people don't watch Star Wars, Billy Dee Williams and Samuel Jackson were basically diversity hires, and has some real classy jokes about black people stealing his TV.

Phantom Menace is one of my favorite star wars films. It can definitely be messy at times, but it's visually stunning, thematically engaging, and sets up the entire 6 film saga as its own mythology that carries the anti-imperial ethos of the OT, and marries it with the ethos of Greek Tragedy.

This is a great video essay, and a strong counterpoint to anyone who complains about the "politics" in the prequels. And I found myself feeling similar about the Senate scene during the 25th anniversary. Watching that scene just, yeah, it hits differently. I tried to share that with my friends who

In times of hardship, when people are being particularly and wilfully obtuse, I recall the ancient words of wisdom from one of our most cherished myths…

We are twenty-six years removed from The Phantom Menace and not once has anyone been able to explain in reasonable terms, on a fully objective standard, why it’s a bad movie. What could this mean?

I’m boosting one of my older videos now that there seems to be discourse over the Jedi. I think Lucas wants us to read the Jedi Order as flawed. Not evil (as some would claim) Good, but flawed in execution. In TPM, they are not following the Will of the Force. This is a serious problem.

Raymax makes some very good Star Wars vids, by the way 👇

When did standards change that this got replaced by this

How in the world is a nine-year-old who is described by his mother as knowing nothing of greed and who does everything he can to help a group of strangers simply because it’s the right thing to do a “sociopath?”

Guys, I legit watched these movies when I had one of the worst break ups in my life when I was 22. Dude, I deeply respect the SW Prequels. Like, to where nostalgia isn't the reason.

If nostalgia is the only reason people like the prequels, why do so many people who have no nostalgia for them… enjoy them? Could it be, perhaps, that they’re not “terrible” and actually have something to them that you don’t personally connect with? But sure, okay, I guess you know better.

About to experience the long awaited masterpiece of a true genre master!
