I would have preferred a continuation of the Raimiverse Spider-Man.
And D.J.'s youngest child (the one played by the twin brothers) can be absent from the show. They can explain it by breaking the fourth wall, saying he's busy in New York running his fashion empire.
1. They are retired from acting
2. They are too "big" for Fuller House. It would be demeaning for them to be reduced to appearing on a Netflix sequel to a cheesy sitcom.
3. The way their absence has been explained on the show has been corny as all get out. Breaking the fourth wall, talking about Michelle being busy running "fashion empire in New York," and a phone call scene with Michelle that is so obviously fake are things that make the show seem lazy.
4. They should just recast her with another actress. I vote for Chloe Grace Moretz.
That's old news. Supposedly, they called her agent, and he declined for her. Every time she talks about this rumor in interviews she seems uninterested in the show. It is possible that many people would consider it demeaning for an actress as big as her to be reduced to a guest appearance on a Netflix show that is a sequel to one of the cheesiest sitcoms of all time. The same goes for her sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley. That's why I think the role should be recast.
The "killed by a drunk driver" thing seemed a little bit on the fly to me, like the writers made it up on the spot for that particular episode. They made it up so quickly that they didn't have time to think about how dark it was.
What happens to Susan is actually true to life in many cases, in a Christian allegorical sense. Many believers abandon the faith and claim that they no longer believe the Bible. This is called "backsliding." I believe Lewis was just trying to use his book "The Last Battle" to illustrate what backsliding looks like. Since he left Susan's fate open-ended, I like to believe Susan eventually started believing again and came back to being a friend of Narnia.
Thanks.
I didn't read your post, but I just wanted to comment here to let you know that the masculine of Mary Sue is "Gary Stu."
In the US, the word "philosopher" means an actual philosopher, as in Aristotle, Descartes, etc. It doesn't have anything to do with alchemy or sorcery.
I thinking maybe the end credits will feature all of the cast from all three trilogies, starting with Liam Neeson and ending with whoever the new characters are in Episode IX.
I can't make any sense of this reply. All of the young kids in this show (Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Eleven, Max) are, in fact, played by young kids.
I don't understand. The middle-schoolers are played by actual teenagers and they seem to have just as much screen time as the college-aged actors. Where do the child labor laws factor in there?
Look up the "Eleven is the Demogorgon" theory on YouTube.
Apparently the crew has been looking to cast a female between the ages of 40 and 50 to play a new character named "Mara." Maybe this will be Mara's movie?
I heard Kathleen Kennedy say that "Carrie" won't be in Episode IX, not "Leia."
1. There was great build-up around the characters Rey and Snoke. We thought Rey was going to have an important heritage that served as the potential plot twist of this movie. When she ended up being the daughter of nobodies, it was frustrating. Also, we thought Snoke was going to have an amazing and shocking back-story that made his presence even more exciting in this film and Episode 9. This anticipation was dashed to pieces when he was suddenly killed in the middle of the Last Jedi with no background.
2. After years without seeing Luke, I was hoping I would get to see him leave that island on Ach-To and fight either Snoke or Kylo Ren with his green lightsaber. Not only does he not even really fight anyone, since he is using astral projection in his final scene, he even has the wrong lightsaber when he's projecting himself.
3. There was too much political propaganda about income inequality and animal rights in this film. I felt like the scene on the casino planet was promoting rioting, as well as pushing the "rich people are evil" narrative.
4. The feminist suplot about Holdo withdolding information from Poe served not to empower women, but to belittle men.
5. This should have been Leia's movie, not Luke's. We should have seen Leia explore her force abilities before ultimately confronting her son Ben and then dying a poignant, dignified death. Luke's main story and eventual death should have been pushed back to Episode 9.
I have never heard an audience member praise Transformers. In fact, it is the audiences that have criticized those films the most, if I'm not mistaken. (By the way, I count online , independent YouTube critics as part of the audience, not part of the critics). Of course, I admit Full House was a corny show despite its popularity. At least it was clean, and what it lacked in humor, it made up for in tear-jerking, rip-your-heart out emotional moments.
I didn't say being a professional critic makes one's opinion less valid. I just pointed out that people often act like critic's opinions are more important than the opinions of common audiences, which they are not. I am against critic-oriented film snobbery, and believe what is a good film or a bad film should be decided in a "democratic" fashion, by the people.
This is actually part of my point. My point is that sites like IMDB, which get reviews from ordinary movie-goers, should be the reviews that Hollywood pays the most attention to, as opposed to sites like Rotten Tomatoes, which feature reviews from mostly professional critics.
I'm talking about the audience of the common people. Ordinary moviegoers like you and me who don't get paid to review films. We frequently disagree with critics as to whether a film is good. Movie reviews should be in the hands of the people, not the elite.
