Yeah. Having big adventures is a good way to stay under the radar.... Well for one that's not the goal, that's a by product of the goal, the goal is to protect Luke, from the distance but still be close to keep the boy safe, if the Empire especially Vader encroach on Tatooine then Kenobi drawing them to him by getting off world quietly and creating some noise far away to draw Vader to him makes perfect sense.
very true, also there is nothing indicating that Obi Wan did not do occasional undercover missions (at least in the earlier years) as he did as "Ben" in the Clone Wars - why else would he say I'm getting too old for this kind of thing, if he never went on missions... Also the staying "under the radar" would be badly executed anyway, why would Luke be still be called Skywalker, not Lars, if they were so secretive? the fight was quickly over because of this: Maul pulled the same kill-move as he did with Qui Gon in Ep1 - Obi realized that and visibly changed his form to accommodate the move, thus destroying Maul with two strikes. It's quite clever, considering one cannot top the EpI fight here.

Well, the Empire was pretty much subscribed to human supremacism, and the First Order modelled itself after the Empire, and Finn was raised by the First Order. pretty much not. There is not one line in any canon material to corroborate that? Truth is, the Empire and Rebellion were originally white sausage fests (we do not know what was under the trooper helmets though) until it got diversified later with the alien-looking Emperor or Thrawn in Rebels/EU. Also, they work with alien bounty hunters as freelancers. The prequels also show that this is nonsense: Palatinates closed allies in the senate (and his supposed squeeze) are aliens;his apprentice Maul is alien; his Confederate allies such as the Trade Federation or the Banking Clan are non-human aliens. Thus, Palpatine is hardly a human-supremacist, but a Sith-power supremacist. Would not make any lick of sense in a super-diversified Republic/Empire anyway.

yes, the best possible ending for the Star Wars saga, trilogy and movie indeed: - They rehashed RotJ but let the First Order in charge of the galaxy (only Palps fleet was destroyed). - The OT achievements and Anakin's sacrifice are finally diminished to nullified so that you do not even have to watch the damn thing anymore. - The Skywalker family is routed and the Palpatines rule, assuming the Skywalker name. Also enjoyed how so many set ups and character relationships went nowhere Bravo! It's not the ending Star Wars needed, but the ending it deserved. My childhood is ruined!!!! I am sorry to hear that, mate. I feel your pain but maybe you are taking movies way to seriously? Look there is a simple workaround solution for this: Do it like me. After the shock of Force Awakens I immediately and irrevocably de-canonized the sequels in my head canon (not: R1, Mandalorian, rebels; Solo is pending).
This way they cannot hurt you. Brings balance to the saga. Brings so much joy to your life.
Schadenfreude in lieu of suffering. Mockery instead of embarrassment. Thriving instead of perdition.

the lady doth protest too much methinks? this obscure deflection had me scratching my head until I looked up your notification history. Most amusing; I responded despite better knowledge. IMDB2.freeforums.net/post/3647651/threadNot much sleep + too much coffee than usual = yes? Also, Not much education + too much comic book reading = Nolan-hate conspiracy. Yes? I'm afraid that video will not win you any case, Dredd. Disregarding the fact that the film pitch seems to predate the comic: - the caught in a dream/coma trope is an old sub genre, there are countless stories like that. S tar Trek alone did several caught in a dream stories that predate movies like Matrix, eXistenz or Inception. Also, it's an old horror trope like in the Nightmare on Elm Street films. - the author of this (inconclusive, uninformed, incomplete and superficial) analysis himself states in the vid that the story/plot is it's own animal; the title of the video is just uninformed click bait nonsense . - the most foolish thing is: All this completely disregards the substance and subtext of Inception (like Freudian and Plato philosophy) that seems to be entirely missing from your children cartoon about Disney ducks. Thus, your claim is as clumsy as it is stupid. Inception is still overrated, and you failed to prove that. Try again.

I say 2.
The impressive thing about Joker is not the unprecedented amount of noms, but rather that it got them against or despite the current socio-political climate. Most genre films only get nods if they swim with the political flow, not so Joker.
That being said, the hostile climate against the film will likely act against it when it comes to wins. Especially on Best Film level. Thus realistically only the more obvious choices like Best Score and Best Lead Performance are within reach, maybe one of the technical categories too.
Also, there is strong competition, cinematography can only go to 1917, Best Film either to Parasite (if it does not win best foreign) or Tarantino or Scorsese.

What you perceive as pretentious is a nothing but a projection of your personal incredulity. In other words: The one eyed man may be king among the blind, yet he still lacks depth perception. That's just your opinion which is pretty weak. not an opinion, exposing your personal incredulity, ie what I do not understand and like is pretentious. But you are entitled to find that weak. Another fallacy: Bandwagon. Note that you do not even try to bring forward an argument as to what makes these films pretentious, they just are because you think so and others allegedly agree. As before, plus appeal to authority. Also, I doubt Marcia Lucas ever claimed FFC or his films are pretentious, you are just making this up (another fallacy: burden of proof). Straw man projection. Also, ants are more your thing.

and from the monkey's perspective you are pretentious. There is no evolutionary fault in personal or mental hygiene. From an ant's perspective a monkey is pretentious. Irrelevant to the discussion of filmmakers on a forum like this.
the monkey needs not to explain the perceived pretentiousness to the ant any more than you to the monkey. The same applies to an accomplished filmmaker like FFC to a layman film critic like you. What you perceive as pretentious is a nothing but a projection of your personal incredulity. In other words: The one eyed man may be king among the blind, yet he still lacks depth perception.

this is supposed to substantiate your claim that "Coppola is known for being pretentious"...? His Dracula was pretentious. Apocalypse Now was pretentious.

subjective that, I always thought that his face looked like a tractor drove over it. Also, "In the world" is a bold claim, I was not even considered for this, so there is that.

Everything he made after Godfather. Lucas's ex-wife said fame went to Coppola's head. this is supposed to substantiate your claim that "Coppola is known for being pretentious"...? Masterpieces like Godfather II or Apocalypse Now that stood the test of time...? An obscure unsubstantiated statement by an obscure ex-wife; do you refer to the person who suggested that she "saved" StarWars in edit, despite there being a 3 person editor team plus Lucas. LOL. Did you know that monkeys would find toilet paper pretentious?

it's called a Freudian slip, you project too much into this relationship. Nah, it's just a spelling mistake. But go ahead and try to use it in whatever way you want in a later debate - won't do any good though. the lady doth protest too much methinks? this obscure deflection had me scratching my head until I looked up your notification history.

not to forget the main theme was a note by note rip off of the Star Trek 09 theme. I am still lmao at the hilarious Beyonce and magic collar jokes. If HarryPotter movies ever looked like Shakespeare, this was it. Michael Giacchino was the composer on both films. you don't say. Yet, that is a pointless deflection. My comment was not on copyright infringement but on artistic merits. duly noted that you claim that without source or evidence. And how inconvenient that Marvel (according to MCUs) is so often first with fresh ideas, yet there is always somebody else reaping the benefits long before MCU can, thus making them look like rip offs. Bummer. Maybe the effects in Inception were actually inspired by Dr Strange...? Not so much by 2001-ASO or other trip-inducing 60s/70s sfilms as Nolan claimed. sorry, my knowledge of children comics is limited. "By the way" the burden of proof is upon you. If you cannot prove it, it's a lie; just had the same thing with one of your ilk. That being said, I do not care too much for Inception or Nolan and would greatly appreciate to know if that argument is sustainable. So, try again, I'm interested. Total rip off? ^McDisney^^ ^^Nolan?

the character he plays is chairman Papanoida; there was an entire Clone Wars episode centered around him and his daughters (Sphere of Influence). For good or for worse, the character was not voiced by Lucas though. Cool. I didn't know that about his character name or that there was an episode focused on him. No, I didn't say Lucas voiced General Grievious in Episode 3. He didn't. Matthew Wood voiced General Grievous. What I said is that George Lucas provided General Grievous' labored cough in Episode 3. The reason was that Lucas was sick while Episode 3 was in post-production, so either Ben Burtt or Matthew Wood (I can't remember now) thought it would be cool to record Lucas' awful cough he had at the time for the character. what I meant was that the Papanoida character was not voiced by Lucas in the show but an professional voice actor. The Lucas cough episode is undisputed; the 2-D clone wars show explained the cough by M Windu Force crushing Grievous' lungs during the (faux) abduction of Palpatine.

So the sound of George Lucas screaming, huh? Sounds...fitting. For those that may not know, Lucas was previously in Episode 3 in two different ways. One is physically as a character before the Opera scene involving Anakin and Palpatine. He can be seen standing with his real life daughter. The second is his real life cough was used as General Grevious' laborious cough in the movie. Lucas had a cough at the time they were in post-production and they thought it would be cool to have Lucas provide the cough himself. the character he plays is chairman Papanoida; there was an entire Clone Wars episode centered around him and his daughters (Sphere of Influence). For good or for worse, the character was not voiced by Lucas though.

Is this a humble brag that you've had sex with Amber Heard? Haha, sorry I forgot the "n" in "men". I hate when that happens. it's called a Freudian slip, you project too much into this relationship.

finally read up on this mess a bit, so whats new, another toxic relationship, like Joker and Harley?
Depp is a weirdo collecting Barbie dolls, she is not much better, first she records him being toxic now karma strikes back; if there was deliberate physical harm they should be prosecuted.
When an empath is together with a narcissist it's a genuine tragedy; when however two covert narcissists meet each other, it's sheer toxic entertainment. They deserve each other.
