Society & Culture Things that Make You Feel Old

People like the black guy cast in the movie trilogy being discussed, who thinks he and other characters were only there to tick boxes?

"“It’s so difficult to manoeuvre,” he says, exhaling deeply, visibly calibrating the level of professional diplomacy to display. “You get yourself involved in projects and you’re not necessarily going to like everything. [But] what I would say to Disney is do not bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side."

John Boyega: 'I’m the only cast member whose experience of Star Wars was based on their race'

In his first interview since finishing Star Wars and that unguarded address from a Hyde Park stage, he explains how both platforms inspired him to make a stand, but for very different reasons.

I disagree with him that Disney knew what to do with any of the characters in the sequel trilogy, but I don't know why people still pretend this isn't rife. A small percentage of people think it's stunning and brave, the rest of us just want to see good content. The irony is that despite Disney's desire to make every show have a strong female lead, they fired the strong female character that audiences actually liked.

Disney did his character dirty, an ex indoricinated stormtrooper becoming a jedi would have been a great story to tell but Boyega's character got sidelined big time in the last jedi. The sequels were just a cluster**** of a mess that lacked the magic that Lucas had.

The MCU was planned out the arse and used the comics as a source and yet disney could not use the EU to make some great star wars content it just boggles the mind.

Looking at some of my old FB posts .


14 years ago I was watching the inbetweeners and pissing my pants .

I remember watching the Inbetweeners as a 14-17 year old, it pretty much was high school life in the late 00's and early 10's.

And bus w***er was the choice insult of the school

Now the only thing that’s changed is you no longer watch the inbetweeners

It's still funny IMO.

Every group has a Will with a hot mum.

Agreed, it captures just how odd those years are.

Ladhood on britbox is a show also worth watching, its more northern england inbetweeners.

I vaguely remember that being played as we were trying to calculate how many of the items in the song we’d consumed. Enough to not be able to calculate was the verdict

 

[rocker_oz33]

Wanted to see them for a while .
Hopefully Melb will be released.

Quiet a few older acts no longer together or not touring I would've like to see aswell...
