Oh well, I was hoping for something good. If they could only tolerate you. Only if they're incels like you. Yay for you. 🤣 The only reason why the movie made what it did is because black audiences go to black movies to "support" them, as if multi multi millionaires need more money. It is how Tyler Perry, of all people, got to be a billionaire. No problem! There are no moderators on here, so it isn't surprising that no one is seeing if the site is operating correctly or not. Their STRATEGY is that DEI will make them money. It doesn't mean that it works, but that is their strategy. She looks more like a dude than like a woman. At this point, I can't imagine how many male viewers are left. The shows she's cranking out are more and more for women and more and more to check boxes on the DEI score card. I was talking to this darkpast dude. That's how message boards work. You see where the replies are indented to see who is being replied to. That's all movies and TV are today, pandering to those who want DEI in their shows. You pander to them, they pay to watch your DEI stuff and you make more money. Lucas should have held onto it for as long as he could. When it came to making a Sequel Trilogy, he either should have gotten to it soon after the Prequel Trilogy or just not have done it at all. Just wait until all the legacy actors were too old to be in it before even thinking of selling everything he created. I think that Lucas is the only one in the universe who didn't see coming what Disney was going to do. Since Michael Eisner became CEO decades ago, Disney has been all about milking every penny possible out of their properties. How Lucas couldn't see that is beyond belief. As it was said, he certainly didn't need the money. Now, "Star Wars" is just going to be what it is now, a mishmash of disparate projects that are at odds with each other and just muddle all that Lucas created in the first place. You're still on here commenting on it, though, to be honest. 😊 "Star Trek: Picard" put their first episode free to watch online. Disney could certainly do that with "The Acolyte." Color Grading aggressively in movies started with "Saving Private Ryan." There, the subtle work done worked beautifully, and it is still easily the best work done using modern color grading technology. After that, I think filmmakers thought, "Oh, let's do this kind of thing ourselves." But then, they can just go way too far like in these two "Dune" movies where there is almost no color left at all. I am going to take a wild guess that the filmmakers didn't see, or just plain ignored the beautiful, legendary cinematography in "Lawrence of Arabia," where even the more monochromatic desert can be made beautiful. I think they just take the color sliders on their graphics workstation and take all the color out of movies like this. I still haven't seen "Part Two" except for the trailers and scenes posted on YouTube, and this near-colorless stuff is definitely a reason why. Seinfeld's usefulness on this Earth ended when his TV series ended. Most entertainers do their best work early on. After that, they seem to degenerate into just doing paycheck projects and then saying and doing all the kinds of stuff that Seinfeld is saying and doing. Pretty low. The "Hat U Give"? Was it about headgear? The richest. "White people crying was the goal." https://x.com/james_jinnette1/status/1798498878469374106 The star of "The Acolyte" is naturally the previous star of "The Hate U Give" who said that "white people crying was the goal." No doubt, that's how she got the job for "The Acolyte." With a baseball bat, yes.
