"Do you know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed." - Zoe Washburn, "Firefly." (Which is better than Star Wars and that's a hill that I'll die on.)
I really don't like to throw in my lot with the rabble of malcontents who have poisoned the discourse around this film. Especially since some people have made pretty fair arguments for it being not only a good film but possibly the best Star Wars film.…
I didn’t realize that I wanted a movie in which a Graham from But I’m a Cheerleader lectures Frodo about Robert Heinlein, but I am delighted to have found one.
Having a character be falsely presenting herself as gay and then proclaim that she’s “tired of pretending to be someone [she’s] not” is a really strange decision though. (Made even weirder by the fact that she would be doing the exact reverse in Cheerleader a year later, though that’s just wacky coincidence…
The good: The characters. The performances. The special effects. The music. The humor.
The bad: The way mental illness issues are depicted. Yeesh.
May hold some sort of record for the most reptiles onscreen simultaneously. When the mass of chameleons appeared I could hardly have been more delighted by anything. Can we get a spinoff movie about the adventures of the Mass of Chameleons?
