My main gripe with TLJ is that the editing is a total mess. Multiple scenes lose continuity between shots. The most egregious example is the milk scene, which in addition to being gross and unnecessary, was clearly jammed in between two shots meant to be continuous. Rey and Luke start walking down a skinny peninsula, no space cow in sight, then hard cut to space cow and Luke milking it, then hard cut back to the end of the peninsula and Luke setting down his stuff.

Do you mean The Last Jedi? Force awakens was the first of the new trilogy and was directed by JJ Abrams. If so, agreed.

I worked in science, pre-clinical pharma, for 11 years before switching careers. I can fucking assure you that scientists and people really are THAT stupid about shit. Complacency from routines or experience is real as fuck.

The argument that these people act too stupid has become irrelevant since we had a pandemic.

I used to be one of those people, that good and bad movies were black and white. I was stupid for thinking so.

Movies can be good for different moods and audiences. Sometimes I want to watch a heart wrenching drama, Oscar style, and I can get up after it and think wow that moved me. That is a good movie.

Sometimes I'm feeling in a funk and I don't know what to watch, o I want to watch giant robots punch aliens with minimal plot. That movie is also good, just for a different mood.

I don’t care if it has plot holes. It’s still an awesome movie.

Idk why but I randomly thought of that show recently, when I was a kid I took a bit of guilty pleasure in watching it when it was on TV ☺️

I love how some people criticize Kojima for beating you over the head with unsubtle themes, but then the other half of people are like "this game made no sense so I deliver packages and then people talk about ropes a lot and why are there hands everywhere"

Edit: just adding this on, of course Kojima is trying to reach as many people as possible with his art, even those with poor media literacy. But it only just occurred to me how that in itself is so reminiscent of Sam pushing to connect people, even the ones who are remote or obstinate.

I agree, Rings of Power is great! As someone who has read and watched LotR, but not the Silmarillion, I found it a nice step into the lore. I found a lot of it matches up decently with the appendices of LotR, even if the timeline isn't accurate.
