The Rise of Bad Ideas?

SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!!

Apparently Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker is having some problems.  The trailer dropped this week.




Unfortunately (but not surprisingly since Kathleen Kennedy continues to screw things up without Spielberg around to hold her hand), J.J.Abrams is forced to reshoot a multitude of scenes since the movie bombed in test screenings.



Why is the film bombing with test audiences?

Well, read the leaks and see if there might be a problem or two with the script.  Couldn't believe what I read but just like the GOT Season 8 leaks, these are probably on the money.


There are SPOILERS in this link. Abandon all hope and click. 

 FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS.

I can’t state enough how in my opinion they have completely managed to ruin the Star Wars legacy. I think it would have been better if they had taken the series to a point in the future where all of the original cast would have been deceased or just pick up where they left off with new actors. Instead, the first movie went for nostalgia and a rewarm of a script that had already been rewarmed. The second movie helps a little interest to me that I didn’t go see it in theaters and nearly fell asleep watching it at home.

Maybe I got confused and missed it but did it ever name Rey’s parents? My understanding is that Palpatine survived Return of the Jedi, had a kid, then that kid had Rey. So evidently she never had any connection to Liea, Luke or anyone. As far as the alleged plot we have pretty much gotten another rehash of the original series. I don’t see this ending well.

Really? Who gives a sh*t? The Last Jedi COMPLETELY ruined the entire series. Anyone who liked TLJ is not a true fan. Disney sold the true fans out. They went for the "diverse" crowd in today's politically correct culture. Rose, Rey and Finn...seriously? Next thing you know they are going to whitewash and release The Empire Strikes Back. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Mickey Mouse turns out to be Palpatine.

I was telling people for 2 years GOT was going to suck. When I saw the SW trailer, I had the same reaction. It seems like an incoherent hot mess.

Really tough. I saw the original in the theater (multiple times). No Star Wars movie is better than a bad one.

I really liked Star Wars and Star Trek when I was a kid. But I came of age in a period without new Star Wars content except books and games. I have been horrified by each new installment since Return of the Jedi.

I enjoyed the PC games. The current story they are trying to tell has already played out in the PC games. But they just replaced all of the original characters with a collection of men and women of color.

That itself doesn't offend me. What offends me is that billions of dollars were wasted so that a bunch of lazy writers with no imagination can bastardize great games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight/Outcast, Rogue Squadron, Rebel Assault, Knights of the Old Republic, and eventually Shadows of the Empire.

Luke had a wife and a son. What you movie people are swallowing is an abomination that should be boycotted.

Even the Rocky movies ended. And Turner Classic Movies has better stuff than most of the crap at the theaters these days.

The Star Wars franchise is no longer just cinema and it's no longer in the hands of imaginative writers who want to advance a science fantasy universe. It's now in the hands of merchandisers, bankers, and big money speculators who simply want to maximize profits. If something works once they will keep doing it until it becomes totally unprofitable, imagination and creativity be damned. It's the same old story with all art and literature.

Apparently, y'all haven't noticed that most all the movies and television programs are for those with an elementary school level of comprehension.
We have also dumbed down our testing so that what was " average intelligence" was below average intelligence in the last century.

Thank the elimination of discussion questions in testing, the near elimination of writing term papers,and the elimination of once required basic education courses in economics,literature, philosophy, ethics, statistics and logic supposedly to help industries that required " specialization".

What we get is a population that memorizes well for testing purposes, but which cannot think analytically or tolerate complexity or identify equivalencies accurately.

What you get is action scenes which aren't well connected to plots, character focus with not much for the characters to do but be physically attractive and likable, and slap stick , elementary humor, not wit.

Good grief, we are making celebrities out of reality TV stars whose examples whose decision making aren't just awful decisions but indicate personality disorders . Some of them risks their lives and do that which would once destroy a whole family's reputation for 15 minutes in front a camera! Honey Boo Boo, the Kardashians,etc. should be pitied not rewarded and enabled!

Thats why GOT was so appealing. There was an intellectual side to it - as long they had the fat man's books to follow. When they got to the last two seasons, D&D followed the path you described.

Oh well, there is always Mad Men.

That also brings up another reason why movies are dumbed down. TV and the streaming services are grabbing all the good scriptwriters.

Thankfully intelligent people will always have the library.

I spend $0.00 on "entertainment" and contribute nothing to the Hollyweird globalists and their programming.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
