It looks good, but I wish it was in Vegas.

Outside of Rhianna, at least the casting is better than GB2. It could be a fun distraction though that music reeks of desperation and actually seems insulting to women.  A movie designed to show women can do what men do... yet its theme song is about shoes. LMAO

i watn Dirty Dozen with all female cast

I want Magic Mike with an all female cast.

Showgirls? Or the one with Demi Moore.

 

Was checking out Rotten Tomatoes because I guess there's a Star Trek Discovery type critic/fan split on The Last Jedi.

That's not what 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' is about.

 

I'm guessing the first of a trilogy. Oceans 9 and 10 will come later if the first movie is sucessful. And we already have Oceans 11, 12 and 13.

"That's not what 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' is about."

 

Doesn't matter what the writer intended, the song is about shoes (boots). Talk about a sexist anti woman song.  Movie about  strong empowered women and its theme song is about shoes. LMFAO

 

As for Dirty Dozen remake... as long as it focuses on the right kind of 'dirty'. If you know what I mean. :wink:

I've only seen Rihanna in this Valerian movie and I thought her part was pretty bad. Her role was the "very successful artista" but I just couldn't buy it, especially when the main character was all like "wooooaaah so cool" and I was there like "zzzzZZZzzzz". That whole thing felt more like fan service to Rihanna fans or something, to drive up the sales.

nvm

Rhianna was the least of Valerian's problem. Heck, the white male lead was the worst problem with that movie. Pure garbage. At least Rhianna was HOT and had a small part  that mostly worked. Of course, Rhianna's 'star power' probably over shadowed her scenes/character a tad too much since it was a little too on the nose.

Even with fashionable shoes, they're going to walk all over you. Seems pretty empowered to me.

Well, I didn't stated it was a great movie. Topic was about Rihanna, and I think she sucks.

 

Other than that, I at least wasn't sleeping through half of the movie, which is what I usually do with all them superhero / comic stuff.

What! Rhianna is a master thespian and should have won an Academy Award for her work on Battleship.

 

*runs*

"Even with fashionable shoes, they're going to walk all over you"

 

You give me too much credit. If these 8 'powerful' women in a movie take the time to walk all over a loser like me that isn't empowerment that is pathetic. Why do you belittle them and hate women so much?

No you got it right with the first bit.

Cliche as heck. Should have gone with Salt N Pepa's She Thing

I'm much of a Rhianna fan, but I actually thought she acted pretty well in Battleship. I mean, it was a pretty silly movie, but she pulled off her part.

Well played, sir.

Slightly off-topic: If you're a sith lord, why would you ever take on an apprentice? Hasn't every sith lord ever been killed by their apprentice?

They just believe in competition, it spurs innovation.

Sort of. Part of it is in the whole cult indoctrination aspect of the Sith. Yes, they're "evil" power hungry people, but part and parcel of that is the belief that the "best" will become the Master. It's the whole process of "I prove I'm the best because while I'm training someone to one day take power from me, I'm smart/strong enough to not be caught out, and when I do lose to them, it's because I trained them that damn well."

 

Of course the EU had a heap of extra helpings. I mean if I'm recalling correctly, Palpatine didn't actually kill his master until some point during the Phantom Menace. So his decade or so of training Maul was actually one of his many strategems , Palpatine was still in the "apprentice" role and he didn't consider Maul as a proper apprentice but just a tool to be used and disposed of later.

^Sounds like the Sith stories in SWTOR

Another plot reason for why Maul was so one-dimensional and focused, and not exactly the smart manipulator. Palpatine intentionally trained him to be that scalpel assassin or general weapon, rather than knowing how to manipulate , plot and play politics. So he could be used as that dedicated follower, highly competent in a narrow field but with specific weaknesses, so he could be eliminated once Palpatine found a "proper" apprentice.
