(418) Fly high, fly far + links

Here's Adam Driver on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

Everyone, start saving money because soon you will spend it all.

Early this week the news broke that Disney is removing Baby Yoda gifs from the Internet on the grounds of copyright infringement. Shortly after this, this happened. I'd like to think they saw the outrage on social media and rethought their dumbass ways. The Rise of Skywalker, their big, shiny finale to Skywalker saga is at the risk of being a box office disappointment. This is how badly they run things lately, they have one Star Wars movie flop already (Solo) and now the actual main episode may follow that same path. Baby Yoda is the first thing in two years that got them goodwill. They better not fuck anything up.

I mean how dare they risk the box office of the only movie Oscar has made in the last two years - where you can actually see his face - that may not end up being a bomb?

Is beautiful boo boo Oscar cursed?

No. Can't be.

Here's Baby Yoda in last Friday's episode:

....

......

...........

OH MY GOD.

And here's the article about him.

Can they please just release it so these cultists shut up?

I rewatched Tarantino's latest hoping maybe it will be less awful on a rewatch. Oh, it doesn't improve. It's unwatchable when Pitt is not on the screen.

I also rewatched both parts of 21 Jump Street. These are so dumb but funny.

And I rewatched Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Jesus. Ewan McGregor should get awards for giving such a good performance in those. Portman and Christensen are so awful that I was embarrassed for them. TLJ is nothing but at least it is nothing shaped like a movie. These were just a mess. All the creativity in the world can't replace good structure, dialogue and acting.

Downton Abbey was just as charming and wholesome as I hoped it would be.

So The Irishman. Casino and The Wolf of Wall Street are both in my top 10 of all time and I rewatch both at least once a year but if I will ever rewatch this one it will only be thanks to Pacino's entertaining performance. I get that the film was supposed to be sad in the end but it doesn't excuse it lacking memorable and witty moments until the last act. The only one I really loved was Pacino's and Stephen Graham's apology standoff. De Niro was brilliant in the last 30 minutes because up until then the de-aging CGI was incredibly distracting. Pesci just...was.

Hustlers was so much fun! That dog was amazing. I would love it if Jennifer Lopez got major nominations. She was so charismatic in this role. And just think of all the outfits she would wear to the ceremonies!

The new season of The Crown is not good. The events they focused on are largely dull, Helena Bonham Carter is barely in the show and has two episodes with things to do and Olivia Colman is incredibly disappointing. Her acting is not even good - Elizabeth has this huge scene where she talks about the fact that she is not emotional and didn't even cry when she had babies but you can see Colman tearing up in numerous scenes this season. Foy was so, so much better. I wish they actually used Foy in old age make up instead. And their big mine catastrophe episode is so overhyped. The Queen did the same thing - showing the conflict between the Queen having to be calm and dignified at all times and her experiencing her own emotions - so much better.

Bill sighting!

New spot from The Rise of Skywalker with the cast (including Oscar looking pretty).

And here is the new spot with new footage.

Why does he look so worried?!

WHY DOES HE LOOK SO WORRIED?!

J.J. WHAT DID YOU DO?!

J.J. DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE HURT HIM!!!!

Is it really necessary for him to do poses like this in every single piece of marketing and footage from this movie?

IS IT?

Oh, so he just does it all the time then.

More promos (1,2,3)

And here's the first clip.

Indeed my panties shall fly on December 19.

They will fly high.

And they will fly far.

This is so sweet. Here's another one like that.

Button your shirt, you animal.

Empire cover.

That's a thigh holster. I can't. I CAN'T.

Disney stop, I'm already dead.

Another super boring Graham Norton episode on the horizon. Goddamn, can't Oscar go to London and do this one time?

Remember this? Hopefully we get some new wild puns during this press tour. There's hope, he's already warming up.

I'm really reaching the end of my endurance..Here's the video.

Oscar on Seth Meyers' show.

How on Earth is he getting more beautiful? How is that possible?!

I rewatched Show me a Hero, all 5 hours of it, because of course I did.

And I rewatched The Promise and In Secret. While I had a fever and was sick. It didn't make me better, if anything it brought me closer to death.

I still have A Most Violent Year rewatch to finish here but I'm genuinely afraid to.
