I just watched the entire 10 episode series of Making a Murderer? Do you think Avery really did commit the crime? What strikes me as a little bit odd is that Avery nor his family never refer to the actual Documentary that was being made. The cameramen also always remain mute and never reveal what they think is happening. It was rivetting and pretty gross if half of what is presented is actually true, but I can't help but think that things are taken out of context.

Like every documentary project, things are skewed.
They kind of played off some of the crazier shit Steven Avery did when he was younger, but no matter any sugar coating they put on things, it is very clear (having read much of the court documents) that there has been seriously shady and fucked up things going on up there. From the sheriff's office to that slimy as fuck defense attorney for Brendan to Brendan's brother and father having some weird vendetta against Steven (and coincidentally being...

I just watched this with my sister. I thought it was a pretty good movie with some cool references to the originals. Now what, specifically, do you think makes this a bad movie?
Indeed. The incessant meme that is being perpetuated in popular culture is just the result of coming to terms with how majestically grand the prequels actually are. Imagine something being so out of line in terms of how big and great it is that the pendulum that is the reaction people have toward it swings on the other end of the spectrum in order not to receive a system shock. It's relieving to give in to peer pressure so the one's feeble mind does not fail completely. The path of least resistance has always proved to be the best remedy for a mind and intellect that...

The whole "it's for kids" thing
Episodes 1-3 had many problems as movies but at least they felt creative and had me immersed in the star wars galaxy. TFA simply didnt
What did she have to feel so sad and neutral about?

agreed. I watched one episode and it was lame, not funny at all
Saw a clip that Burr was using to promote the show. The scene was the kid and dad arguing and dad says he'll put the kid through a wall, but they were outside.
Extremely unfunny.
>"He thought this was the best part of his show? The funny thing that would hook viewers?"
If that was (in his opinion) the pinnacle of comedy of the show, then I won't waste my time.
I bet it is one of those shows where they find out what can be funny to do with the characters after the 4th episode.
Does anyone else think George Lucas was forced to sell Star Wars to Disney under the threat of death or his family being killed or something?
That white slaver thing he said on Charlie Rose was really weird. And look at his face in pic related. Does that look like the face of a man who is doing something of his own volition?
I agree, something's very fishy about all of this. I mean who would voluntarily sell his children?

So, based on how hyped up speculation about Snoke's identity has been, I thought about it myself. Abrams has said snoke is very ancient and has been around since PT and OT. This has lead people to believe he's either Sheev or Plagious or the first sith lord. I believe that snoke is just Snoke, and that he's just some ancient guy who can use the dark side seizing an opportunity after the fall of the Empire. I fucking hope to Christ that he doesn't have some generic 'conquer the galaxy' plan and has something more.

I agree with you OP. JJ isn't smart enough to make him Darth Plagueis. Maybe Rian is.
That's not even a theory

OK /tv/. Memes aside, what would you have done differently to make TFA a more solid movie?
>remove cheesy one liners
>take out deliberate homages, make them more subtle
>write out Phasma and have her introduced in Ep. 8
>have Rey lose the fight against Ren
>give Luke a fucking line at the very end
Rethink the whole starkiller plot line. Otherwise its a decent movie.
>>64101747
Make the blasters out of steel, otherwise they all look like cheap plastic toys.
>>64101747
pretty much everything here but also make mark hamill lose 50 pounds and quit being such a fat fuck. Same thing with fisher. Probably hint at a backstory for Rey.
So was this a thumbs up or was BB-8 giving Finn the finger?
>>64101351
you know the answer
>>64101351
I took it as a thumbs up
Anyway BB-8 was the best part of the movie. This scene pretty much cemented him as the best character.
>>64101351
Droid please
Cuckoo, /tv/! I hope your growing disgust with Star Wars hasn't made you forget how shitty my movie was. Wasn't it shitty watching old-ass Daniel Craig brag to older-ass Monica Belluci about killing her husband, then sort of rape her? And that whole scene where he killed him was sort of slow and boring.
Remember how everyone knew I was Blofeld, but the filmmakers tried to pretend I wasn't? God, wasn't that dumb? And remember how I have a secret base, an evil plot, and an elaborate torture device right out of the Roger Moore movies?
Remember...

>sort-of rape
I really hate how "rape" is becoming this kind of transcendent thing that has varying degrees of severity as opposed to, you know, the thing it originally meant, violently taking a woman against her will

JK Rowling is a fucking hack
Are you surprised? Harry Potter was easily one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the seriesüf only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but itüfs certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books are g-g-good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King
I actually went in to this thinking it was a good movie. What the fuck is wrong with people? Guess I should have listened to my gut instincts from this idiotic poster.
>>64099885
Well, I thought it was a good movie, OP.
>>64099885
I have not watched this movie for one reason and one reason only. If we were to send a man to Mars, we wouldn't send a faggot like Matt Damon, I actually want to see a slug in his gut and watch him bleed out like a little bitch.
These movies are all alike. Doesn't stop you guys from lining up to see them, weirdly enough.
