@celluloidnblood @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 Aside from the fact that movies actually DO have authors - they’re called fucking “writers”. You couldn’t have picked a worse example or stupider, more poorly-informed hill to die on.

@celluloidnblood @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 Are you 10 years old and just started finding out about film production roles last week? Because you sound like a fucking child.

Everyone always talks about the Prequels like a different guy made them and imagine the Original Trilogy as a set of movies that don't actually exist

@celluloidnblood @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 “That usually belong to a director”? You have bizarre ideas about how much power most movie directors have when they aren’t also the producer in charge of the whole production. That IS how ROTJ was made, but only after Empire ran double over budget/schedule and Kurtz got fired.

@mudron @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 He didn't "secretly direct" them he hired directors to do things that he didn't enjoy doing, like directing actors on set, while still making overarching creative decisions that usually belong to a director. *He* was creatively in charge of every project.

@celluloidnblood @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 You're wrong about this just like you're wrong about Lucas secretly directing every Lucasfilm project. I don't know where you got that bizarrely wrong bullshit from, but that's not how Lucas ran things.

@celluloidnblood @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 No, Kasdan wrote most of Empire. Sure, Lucas cooked up the basic story, but the whole point of Lucas hiring other writers is that he *only* wanted to come up with the basic story and wanted to leave everything else to better writers.

@celluloidnblood @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 Yes, Lucas rewrote the entire script, and then Kasdan rewrote it again several times. That's what they call "drafts", and that's how movie screenplays are written.

@mudron @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 A couple of her ideas stayed, but Lucas rewrote the entire script from that first draft. Kasdan made some changes that were thoroughly discussed with Lucas beforehand and the final text was approved as he wrote it in sections.

@celluloidnblood @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 Well, she *did* write the first draft in late 77, before Lucas did a few passes (and came up with the idea of turning Vader into Luke's father) before handing the script off to Kasdan.

@mudron @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 Oh you think Leigh Brackett wrote the script that was completed months after she died?

@Sean_OConnell The rightwing ragebait machine gotta eat.

Why has THE ODYSSEY press push started so early? Damon joked about it on SNL, but then Nolan gets a Time Magazine cover, and now this. Unusual. Universal really doesn't want audiences looking at that Spielberg, do they? "How's Disclosu..." "WE HAVE A NEW NOLAN MOVIE!!!!"

@SP4CECOP2 @Replica_419 He was not on set most of the time.

@Replica_419 Story was by George and he produced it and was on set most of the time. He hired a the director! Very television like in its production. Obviously Irvin deserves a ton of credit, but stuff like that is still George’s vision.

@celluloidnblood @Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 You have no idea what you're talking about.

@Replica_419 @SP4CECOP2 Lucas literally wrote the script under Leigh Brackett's name and co-directed the film as executive producer (using the title like it is tv) as he did on basically all Lucasfilm productions

@ehyeahwhatever The whole point of Lucas having a meltdown after Empire went double over budget/schedule and abruptly wrapping up the film series with ROTJ was that it only happened because Kersh kept on workshopping things and going off-script, resulting in the best SW movie ever made.

@ehyeahwhatever Sure. There's a fantastic bit in Alan Arnold's making of-Empire diary where he transcribed the filming of the carbon freezing scene and how Kersh workshopped the entire scene into what we know today (and that's just one example).

name literally one other movie Kershner directed and how you can see the DNA of Empire in it

@keke_kellis @EWErickson That’s it? Widdle baby no feel wike fighting no more?

@mudron @EWErickson 🤣🫵🏽

Sorry y'all, but it is Christopher Nolan. I'll go see the Odyssey and probably enjoy it because it is Christopher Nolan, and I'm going to go into this assuming the guy who brought us Interstellar and the Dark Knight knows what he is doing better than Twitter.

@QuetzalPhoenix For what? Acknowledging that black people exist?

I genuinely hope the Greek government sues Christopher Nolan

@keke_kellis @EWErickson How many movies about African folktales have you seen?

@mudron @EWErickson Nolan would never cast white/Asian actors to depict characters from African culture. Just Stop. 😭😭😭

@billiceberg @EWErickson "Why would anyone bet on one of the most popular Best Picture Oscar winners of all time when I, one completely fucking rando on Twitter, did not like it?"

@EWErickson Oppenheimer absolutely sucked so I am not sure why you would bet on that. Hard to drop the ball with such great stories and funding, and he has already managed to do that before.

@keke_kellis @EWErickson Because The Odyssey is a fictional fantasy story, you thick fuck.

@EWErickson Erick, Why didn’t Christopher Nolan cast any Black/Female actors to depict historical British figures in Dunkirk? Please answer.

@TheAntitoTimes @SingForJoy44 @bigmoneenergy @NancySinatra Good luck with that, chump.

Nancy stated her opinion. No one knows for sure how Frank would have voted, whether or not he would have supported Trump. But given his Conservative political trajectory, and the downfall of the Democratic Party, he probably would have plugged his nose like the rest of us and voted for Trump. x.com/TheAntitoTimes…

Twenty-eight years ago, the world lost Frank Sinatra, and I lost my dad. I don’t think I’ll ever fully get over the loss of him, or the fact that my siblings and I were disregarded and not given a chance to say goodbye. My father was one of the most extraordinary men I ever had the privilege to know. What an incredible life he lived, and what a remarkable legacy he left behind. On this sad anniversary, I find myself thinking about all he accomplished, the joy he brought to so many people, and the love he gave to those closest to him. The world could certainly use his warmth, kindness, grace, and wonderful sense of humor today. He had a way of making people feel special, whether it was one person sitting beside him or on stage in front of thousands. What I regret most is that his great-grandchildren never got the chance to know him. Oh! How they would have loved each other. Twenty-eight years later, the world still sings along with him. Young people continue discovering him for the first time, while those who loved him from the beginning still treasure the man and his music. His music is special because it came from somewhere real, and because he meant every word he sang. He left behind a body of work that continues to bring people comfort, joy, romance, and strength. Dad was always concerned that his work would be forgotten, so he would be absolutely thrilled to know that his legacy lives on across generations, not only through his music, but in the hearts and on the playlists of millions of people around the world.   Frank Sinatra is eternal. And I still miss my Daddy. I love you, Poppa.
