it is not interested in plot, it is not interested in worldbuilding, it is not interested in anything except throwing random disconnected snapshots of nostalgia at you
rise of skywalker kicks over the sandbox and leaves you uninterested in star wars in a way the prequels never did
rise of skywalker kicks over the sandbox and leaves you uninterested in star wars in a way the prequels never did
I feel comfortable saying Rise of Skywalker was the worst Star Wars because it is the only one I genuinely do not remember enough of it to offer a coherent explanation of the plot. I think a knife and Poe’s ex-wife were somehow involved.
I feel like the harshest condemnation I can offer Episode IX right now is the honest one. I have no idea who Pryde is or indeed if I simply forgot them or if they were fabricated on the internet right now

Someone uploaded footage of the cast of Batman Begins - including Christian Bale and Michael Caine - recording their dialogue for the video game of the movie and talking about the process. There are some very special moments in this footage and I strongly recommend you watch it.

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files
What strikes me is that 'the volk' have incredibly incoherent and everywhere ideas, but the people who claim to speak for them in the press are like clerics who think there are two poles for all politics and everything must fit between them. These poles are like, eight inches apart

If "AI" was being built, used, and planned for in responsible ways--the way a civilization designed to enhance human thriving would do--then a lot more people would be enthusiastic about its potential. But the people in charge of defining what AI will be are the fucking worst short-term scumbags.
