Not even Fan fiction I'm afraid. They feel more like they've been written by an algorithm.
They almost died but it turns out Rey is an excellent paramedic/trauma councillor so she saved the day.
Well this is a bit OT for TLJ but yes, I get that, no problem with teeth shooting out everywhere, I just thought it looked like CGI. They should have either gone practical, or just done a better job. Like they did in 95% of the film. Still good though. I just don't get how some bad effects scenes can slip through like that (though I realise it is subjective).
The one that really stuck in my head was the first scene where ITs mouth extends and reveals his teeth (when he's in the drain). That looked very fake and - for me - really undercut a fantastically creepy sequence.
I loved IT. Really nailed the 80s atmosphere - I just wish they'd cut out some of the crappy CGI (especially as most of it was good).
No.
See 'Stranger Things' for how to rip off that Joe Dante feel properly.
But yes I was joking. TLJ is a load of crap - you are right there - but RJ was painted into a corner by JJ. Though I have to confess that even saying that I'm surprised at just how crap TLJ was.
JJ didn't 'make' anything. He doesn't make things - he takes things other far more talented people have created, drains them of what made them unique in the first place before shrink wrapping them for mass consumption.
Yes - he left plot points dangling but plot points that were going nowhere and came from nowhere. You know he literally calls his 'style' mystery box right? I mean, it kinda works - 'what's in the box'? It's an interesting question, we all want to know the answer but posing the question is easy! It's answering it that's hard. See Lost. See the Last Jedi. See any fucking thing this hack has touched.
Maybe. But do you really think there's going to be anybody left after Episode IX to milk at the rate they're burning through good will and nostalgia? Especially with old JJ in charge? I mean - he's well known for putting together satisfying endings right? Right?
Yep, can confirm. Disney Star Wars isn't getting a penny out of me. Not since TFA anyway. Once bitten and all that.
