Along with the general idiocy of that post, it is extremely weird how he keeps emphasizing the ethnicity of the security employee every time he’s mentioned

It’s very funny that they’re acting like this is a problem, no one thought after No Time To Die that Bond dying meant there would never be anymore Bond movies

I know they’re not the whole story, but tariffs are kind of an affordability dial that go the wrong way, and Trump definitely did turn that

Should’ve gone with the Hancock angle

So it’s less that Naboo is a critical trade route, and more that it’s a convenient example

My read is that it’s a pure power play by the Trade Federation, they’re demonstrating that they have the ability to shut down trade and cripple the functioning of the galaxy if the Republic doesn’t agree to lower taxes

They should pull a Genoa and just keep firing him and re-hiring him over and over

Also noteworthy that while it’s mostly lower-division players, 27 Superlig players were suspended, including ones from Galatasaray and Besiktas

They’re suspending lower league matches and asking for an emergency transfer window because there aren’t enough players left

It probably has the best moments (the opera scene, parts of the Mustafar fight) of the prequels, but also I would say the worst parts (CGI Palpatine fighting, everything with Padme)

My hot take is that Clones is actually the least bad of the prequels, Revenge of the Sith is the worst (they’re all in the Bad category). Skywalker is the worst one overall though I think

High school show but it’s the Naboo Legislative Youth Program would be pretty great too

My pitch to Disney is that they should do a collaboration Hallmark Christmas movie in which Senator Padme returns to Naboo for Life Day and learns the joy of simple outer rim life while hooking up with her childhood ex Paolo, before her big city boyfriend finds out and ritually slaughters him

The unironic skeleton key to TLJ is Knives Out because they are literally doing the exact same thing: they spend 75% of their length unpicking genre tropes and hinting the genre itself may be outmoded before the entire final act is one big celebratory reaffirmation of all of them

It’s more or less right after this that she flips from being creeped out by his obsession with her to being fully in love with him

Also “some actually have (female names) and are non-binary” makes no sense as a sentence

Cristiano Ronaldo, also named after Ronald Reagan
