2021: Disney - Hollywood Studios - Darth Vader Face Mask

This is the last spread from our day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While we there mostly to experience Galaxy’s Edge, we did get to ride some of the other attractions as well, and this spread shares some of the pictures from those attractions. It also has a picture of us at the hotel goofing around with a small baby Groot character that sits on your shoulder with a magnet. I found the baby Groot…

And they elope in Las Vegas!

NOTES:

* The idea of a character who may or not be the real funk musician Bootsy Collins officiating the wedding came from an episode of my childhood sitcom, Everybody Hates Chris, where Bootsy Collins appears as himself to officiate the wedding of Julius and Rochelle in Las Vegas:

Arguing with Polygon's Best Action Scenes of 2023 List in My Head

Here's their list-- I'm just going to argue out loud with their rankings, for no reason at all:

Polygon pick -- John Wick 4-- I've only seen the movie once, but I put Sacre-Coeur fight over the Arc de Triomphe car sequence. I think if you saw that movie in a theater, it felt like the audience's delight with the Sacre-Coeur fight and where it goes was just greater-- they make a noise with the steps. And I feel like the steps fight reveals character and comments on the genre/franchise in a sort of witty way where the Arc de Triomphe is just... I felt more distracted watching it wondering how they did it. Like, I like the simplicity of the steps more too-- he's gotta climb the steps, bang, go.

Polygon Pick -- Bad City: Didn't see it. I'd replace with the Killer fighting The Brute from David Fincher's The Killer, which I thought was one of the most interesting fights in 2023 and kind of extra-wild for being (a) from a director I don't think of as an action director and (b) not in a movie I'd call an "action movie."

Polygon Pick -- Shin Kamen Rider: Didn't really dig that movie the way I hoped; I think the author of that article has a better pick for a "superhero fight" in his article with Maaveeran's first fight because it's a satisfying fight, and it's deep into a movie that's not really a fight movie at that point so when it hits, it was more "crowdpleasing" for me. (I don't think it's a "superhero movie" but you know, I'm not put off if someone says it is). (If you wanted more of a classical "superhero" movie special-effects fight though, I'd say the ending of the D&D movie was more that for me).

Mission Impossible-- I go with the Italy chase scene over the train scene. If you get the deleted scenes-- there were super-fun shots they pulled out of that train sequence. I admire how careful they are. But the chase has that great Pom Klementieff performance in the middle of it, plus the Hayley Atwell "premature ejaculation" gag in the car. It has more moving parts, and they're all working. And I just think the car flip gag is maybe the best part of the movie...???

Ferrari: Haven't seen, but believe in Mann. If I had to replace it with one I saw, I'd go with the sisters fighting from Polite Society. (I would want to go the final fight in Creed 3 where Jordan goes full anime, but Kang being in there is probably a buzzkill now...).

Blue Eye Samurai: didn't see it. I'd pick the red marker scene from Kill Boksoon instead. I just always like a non-fatal fight, where characters are fighting to demonstrate skill to each other (e.g., Jackie vs the Chinese soldier at the beginning of Supercop, etc.).

The Continental: a tv show fight with the lights off from a Mel Gibson TV show? That's going to be a no for me. I'd go with a fight they don't mention, the jungle fight from Jigarthanda Double X. It's a fast one but it means something to the story and the way the "bad guy" moves in that fight got a reaction from me. I liked that the bad guy's fighting style seemed organic to the character / story, which can be rare.

The Roundup No Way Out: I didn't see that one but I saw an earlier entry in the franchise and watching Ma Dong-Seok punch guys is one of the most entertaining things going in movies. No argument.

Sakra - Donnie Yen vs the World: That's a good fight especially with how it starts, but the movie put me to sleep and I didn't finish it. If it's just fight scenes though, sure. If I had to replace it, it's not a big fight, but I'd mention Kaitlin Dever's first fight with an alien from No One Will Save You, which I thought was a short sequence but an effective little action beat that does its job to inform the rest of the scenes after it. You know what the aliens can do; you know they can die; you know why the aliens might be pissed at this girl; the rest of the movie goes from there.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- No Diggity Fight: There are times I might object to a cartoon because it feels like "cheating" but this one's got an advantage in how it's edited to the music that I can't dismiss it-- you could do that fight in live action and it'd land as hard. It's more the editing than what I'd describe as the usual pleasures I get out of fights in movies, the physicality, but like... I just think it worked like gangbusters. It kind of makes the movie (even if it's an overall nice movie). Plus I find it endearing because it's a movie that beat the odds by being better than the Spiderverse movie for me which I expected more from, and which I don't remember nearly as fondly, some visuals aside (e.g. Gwen drumming).

(I think they're also wrong that the best part of Extraction 2 is the oner-- I think it's the stretch in that office building, and the treadmill stunt in particular. But that's not in their top 10).

I didn't see a lot of the rest, e.g. Silent Night or Exp4ndbles, or just didn't like some of bits they did, e.g., the fight in Jawan which was a movie I disliked very much or Thunivu's fight (though that scene's fun for the punchline)... For me, the only one of the honorary mentions that's a "hell yeah" for me is the Van Fight from Murder Mystery 2, which I thought was strangely decent in an otherwise not-great Adam Sandler / Jennifer Aniston movie.

we’re gonna wind up with a world of entertainment just cranked out with autogeneration and AI algorithms, nothing but soul-less garbage flooding pop culture. CGI models, performers, films, music, all algorithmically generated based on current market trends. no one in the fields making any money except the CEOs and other assorted parasite managers because 99% of the work that actually goes into “production” is unskilled.

come into work, have thirteen “characters” to voice act. feed in the scripts, check the generation for errors, turn it over to film/tv division for tracking. New movie’s coming out! it’s a remake of a film from 1934 using the same actors, but digitized! and with new voices, Chadbro 3.0 the definitive Male Tough Guy and Marilyn modelC, the hot new actress AI voice model everybody’s raving about. The film is ready by the afternoon, top of the streaming charts by 8PM, and forgotten by next Friday. Another MCU film is opening that day. Oscar material, they actually used real live human extras in the background shots! (they are all unpaid, they won a turn on screen through Marvel Comic’s gatcha game)

It’s a beautiful thing when studios go the extra mile for realism, you say to your boss when he asks you what you think about it. you don’t care about film. you have never cared about film. it is something you watch as background noise. your boss doesn’t care about film. they just know it’s one of the things in their investment portfolio, and that’s enough to be a producer/director.

the red carpet is rolled out. no one real has stood on it in fifteen years. your job today is to edit out the tape marks the cgi cleanup team missed. Mann’s Chinese theater is a museum; it hasn’t had screens in it for decades. it’s only open on Wednesdays and Thursdays. the viewers at home don’t know why videos are sometimes called “films”.

Starwoids (2001)

I’m going to be generous with Starwoids. It’s an independently made documentary about the most hardcore of Star Wars fans during a particularly important time in the series: the months preceding the 1999 release of Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Is it a great film? No. Is it interesting? Yes. It’s a nice little DVD you can place next to the saga to generate some conversation.

The first thing you need to know is that the DVD cover doesn’t lie… but it exaggerates hardcore "Star Wars" fan Kevin Smith’s involvement in this project. He never appears on-camera and narrates… the first 30-seconds of the film. That’s it. This doc is about the people who decided that they wanted to be first in line at the Mann’s Village and Chinese theaters. You won’t see any clips of the movie or celebrities, and even for a documentary, it's a low-budget production.

The most interesting aspect of Starwoids is the way it will make you feel. I found myself going back-and-forth on the people it documents. Waiting in line for 42 days to see anything is insane. Even with the numerous lackluster chapters in the franchise, I still like “Star Wars” a lot. I think just about everyone who likes movies should see the original trio at the very least. I get that being there in 1999 was an experience, that people had been waiting 16 years for the next chapter… but it’s not like the film was only playing the one time and would never get released on home video afterward. On the other hand, the film makes some good points about this level of fandom. So what if you spend 6 weeks waiting in line? Who's it hurting? In fact, a group of people waiting in line raised thousands of dollars for a charity. They had a blast. It’s an experience they’ll never forget and forever treasure. Who is anyone to judge their behavior when they’re freely admitting no one else should go to the lengths they did?

It's a disappointment that Starwoids doesn’t really convey how big the film was during its initial release. I know people were excited. You don’t pay the admission price to see a movie just because a trailer to "The Phantom Menace" is playing before it, and then leave before the main event even starts... but what about the rest of the world? I could have done without the fruitless voyage to Skywalker Ranch and would've appreciated some box office receipts, shots of the merchandise associated with the picture, or images of the characters dominating everything from fast-food restaurants to children’s clothing stores. You get somewhat of an idea of who the people involved are, what they had to deal with when it came to their collections of action figures, but you'll want more.

I'll give Starwoids a mild recommendation. It’s a curiosity and I’m certain that it won’t be director Dennis Przywara’s best work, but I’m glad I saw it. If you were alive when The Phantom Menace was released, you'll be able to fill in some of this doc’s gaps, allowing you to have a nice internal conversation about whether this level of excitement is futile or a once-in-a-lifetime treasure. (On DVD, April 4, 2016)

Throwback Thursday 12/14/2023 Staying alive #throwbackthursday #saturdaynightfever

image by studiostoks I’m running shamefully late posting my blog today and for no good reason that I can pin down. Without further excuses, here’s a bit of theater trivia. December 14, 1977 Saturday Night Fever premieres at Mann’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, California. Apparently, this film was movie critic Gene Siskel’s favorite movie. Much as I admire John Travolta’s performances and many…
