I once got to attend a birthday party at Martin Short's house (I went to the same high school as his son). Martin and his wife Nancy (RIP) were some of the nicest, most generous people I've ever met. So to be called a fucking phony by someone like him is truly deadly:

@ar1aster Being Force-linked to Kylo Ren, Grandson to Darth Vader and Supreme Leader of the galaxy, is an insanely great “present tense” problem for Rey to overcome. Why does her lineage need to become her main struggle? So bizarre.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK would be ripped to shreds by social media had it been released today. That movie is rife with plot holes, geography cheats, and “cheap” fakeouts. That’s why I ignore the movie mob mentality.

@FilmCritHULK @ObserverArts Amazing. You've perfectly articulated why LAST JEDI got the reaction it did. It seems modern audiences don't want to hear how hard life is and how to deal with it. They want stories about how pain and suffering are merely temporary setbacks on your path to invincibility.

@k_trendacosta Love it or hate it, but Palpatine’s sudden involvement in the sequel trilogy is 1000% in the spirit of Lucas and OG/EU Star Wars, and I just think people weren’t quite prepared for Disney to make that sort of bonkers jump that the franchise used to make on the regular.

@FilmCritHULK 100%. It's why so many Star Wars prequel defenders vehemently dislike the sequel trilogy because, in a weird way, they've been trained by Lucas to think "character says exactly what they're thinking and/or feeling at any given moment" = good dramatic storytelling.
