absolute batshit that they let a guy obsessed with early Soviet films make his art

yeah and they are attached to the idea of hating George Lucas this like solidarity but history has been kind to his weirdo trilogy

Yeah it's called the shark teeth effect what was once good turns to shit then good then shit good shit so on . Like records for example

But then he tired to bury Jushin Liger… cause he’s Japanese, bro. I’m a New Yorker.

you can say it's just nostalgic zoomers drowning out older fans and that's fair but I think it's more than that personally

Who?

 

[Zany Clowny]

George Lucas!

 

[Deezy]

to me the prequels do what Lucas set out to achieve, a throwback to the transition from silent to talkies where dialogue was secondary and the camera tells the story

Lucas' dialogue in the OG prequels were garbage too....it's like he never had an actual convo with people before.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

George Lucas!

No who was obsessed with Soviet films? Also why would that matter?

 

[Gambit]

Personally, I don’t think Star Wars was ever THAT good.

I'm obsessed with Sergio Leone movies, but I don't think if I were a director or cinematographer, I'd let that really affect me outside of a Western.

I mean THX 1138 has next to no dialogue

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Although tbf, a Sergio Leone-style sci-fi film sounds like a fuckin delight.

 

[Zany Clowny]

....George Lucas. I can't link a 2 hour video with a straight face lmao but it breaks down all the influences pretty well. He straight up takes shots from A Man With A Movie Camera(?)
