Join Laura Dern & Star Wars Director, Rian Johnson, for Lunch in LA

You and a guest will get to go to lunch in Los Angeles with Laura Dern, AKA Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, and Rian Johnson, the writer and director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi! You'll share a meal and a conversation on everyone's favorite franchise, the entertainment industry, and more!
Donated by: Rian Johnson and Laura Dern

What would you say to him?

reply

Your Snoke theory sucks. Your Rey theory sucks. Your Luke theory sucks. (Are you detecting a pattern here?)

reply

People bid to buy these two lunch?

And each of them can bring a friend along for you to pay for??

And you can't have any booze???

Seems exploitative to me.

At least some at risk people will get to listen to Ravi Shankar.

I'd rather listen to Disney's excuses for having a CGI Leia appear in IX.

reply

I want to go and then dine and dash.

And look at how lifeless and restricted this all sounds. I mean, I get it that they can't just randomly meet at a Denny's with any random dude on the street for an unlimited amount of time, but this wouldn't sound fun even if it was with my favorite directer and star. And if I win after bidding a wad of cash, I'm still expected to pay for the meal. I'm pretty sure these two can afford a plate of food.

It sounds absolutely horrible. You shell thousands of dollars just to have a meal for about an hour with these 2. Who do they think they are to demand something like this? They have more money than I'll ever have and they still expect the donor to pay? Jesus Christ.

I'd be like, it wasn't that bad, the fans are overreacting.

reply

Some alt-Right douchebag is going to buy it with donations just to berate Rian and Laura for an hour.

reply

I'm pretty sure the hour long session rules on manners and one photograph would allow Rian and Laura to walk away off-record should they wish to Spanners.

But yeah, it'll probably come down to some YouTube channel looking to stir some shit near the end of that hour with it being recorded from another table.

Whilst I don't like the movie, I'm not needing crazy levels of vengeance to balance it out somehow.

Rian made some very poor choices and Laura was playing a role - hardly things to be vindictive about beyond basic forum bemoanings.

reply

Agreed.

Tell you what, if it was lunch with Rian and Daisy Ridley, I think I'd bid... And I'd probably ignore Rian for the entire meal.

=)

reply

Daisy seems like a nice woman but I'm not that enamoured by her.

Laura on the other hand...I'd be insisting upon.

reply

Ooh, now I'd really love it if it was Daisy and Lupita. That would be awesome.

What would you think about lunch with Toucan Samantha: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1054648/

reply

The lady in your link has a nice skeletal structure and healthy skin but I don't know know much about her personally and so would swipe left unless I got a bit more background on her.

What do you think of Toucan Samantha?

reply

I'm sure she is probably very nice and seems to be a highly competent actress.

reply

Am I missing the sarcasm or is it a real thing that people think anyone who hates the movie = alt right? Good luck justifying that one lol

reply

I put it in there because that's the kind of person who would be willing to pay money just to rant about feminism to some "Hollywood Liberals," particularly purple-haired Holdo who gets a lot of hate from that side of the political spectrum.

So it's actually quite specific... But yes it's still a touch of sarcasm, of course. The post itself IS a joke, technically.

reply

Wow, Laura Dern! I loved you in "Jurassic Park"... that's about it.

You were apart of my two most hated pieces of entertainment this year. TLJ and Twin Peaks: The Return. It's actually a toss up for which one I hated more.

Hey, Ruin Johnson is here! Just curious, but did you watch TFA at all? Do you know that parts of a trilogy are suppose to connect together? Did Mark Hamill just give you the stink face all through production for destroying his character? When you were writing the Canto Bight scenes did you know right there that everyone would hate them? During the writing process, did you have scenes where you were like "The fans will really love this part!" and then you deleted them? Do you have any voicemails from JJ Abbrams that are like "Dude, What the fuck?" or "How am I supposed to fix this garbage?" When you were filming did you notice that John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran had no chemistry whatsoever, but you decided to say "Meh, screw it. I'll just shoehorn that romance anyway."? Does Kathleen Kennedy know anything about Star Wars besides the box office figures......

Ruin, where are you and Laura Dern going? The deal was for an hour, and I wasn't done with my questions! Wow, I've never been flipped off by a celebrity before.

This chicken is really good.

Where's the fucking like button?

poison?

Good idea, but only if you have a time machine too. :\
