Miranda, walking into the Ares cabin: What're you two watching? Clarisse, not looking away from the screen: Hockey. Miranda: I didn't know you liked hockey. Sherman: Oh, we love hockey. Except for those boring interludes where they skate around trying to hit the black thing. Miranda: ...you mean the puck. Clarisse, screaming at the television: FIGHT, YOU TIME-WASTING FIGURE SKATERS, FIGHT!

"Over a decade after its release, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) still stands out as George Lucas’s summative and most masterful artistic statement. I use the word “summative” deliberately, because Sith incorporates a broad cinematic heritage, and also draws from Lucas’s own interests in narrative/illustrative art, architecture, world religion and mythology, anthropology, philosophy, pedagogy, and even race-car driving. In finding a tonally and visually radical common ground for these fixations, the film also addresses and subverts the director’s own oeuvre; and, as has always been the case with Star Wars, Sith contends with the poles of past and future, searching for (and sometimes grappling with) the space between. Of course, the Star Wars saga has always been anachronistic, employing science fiction iconography while also pulling famously from Joseph Campbell’s theory of monomythic commonalities in world narratives; the original film, released in 1977, also acted as a gateway to a commercial future, opening the floodgates (along with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws [1975]) for a new kind of American blockbuster cinema. However, while Lucas and Spielberg offered auteurist statements on genre that were also fortunate enough to generate mass appeal, the majority of big-budget fare has since become studio-incubated and sanctioned by market control groups, resulting in films that are often devoid of passion for cinematic language. Ironically and sadly enough, this can certainly be said of J. J. Abrams’s insipid The Force Awakens (2015), a reactionary attempt to conserve a falsely utopic view of the saga’s origins."
—Mike Thorn, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith: George Lucas' Greatest Artistic Statement?
#revenge of the sith#prequels appreciation#George Lucas#the prequels#star wars prequels#prequel trilogy#pro Lucas saga#anti Disney#anti TFA#anti sequels#the sequels were made specifically in rejection OF Lucas’ prequels#they purposefully ignore his immense artistic achievement#in favour of fake nostalgia that panders to an inaccurate view of what actually made his work so compelling#it’s why I will always prefer the auteur’s touch#rather than mass produced corporate bullshit#call me pretentious all you want#but people who think SW can just be wrenched from its context as Lucas’ creation#and think you can just reject or ignore the Prequels#are just as delusional as people who think that stupid Amazon series has anything to do with Tolkien other than in name#there are creators and then there are true artistic story telling geniuses#and sadly once they become popular their work is often ‘pearls before swine’

Curiosity killed the cat but I did wanna know who were the 2% on the other side of IWTV's 98% RT approval rating for S1. Nick Allen for rogerebert.com was annoyed by the show's "grave self-seriousness" and thought "viewers can get more or less the same events by re-watching Jordan's film;" Alison Rowat for The Herald wrote, "Interview has its charms and rattles along nicely at the start, with Anderson particularly good as the dandy about town. Then comes a sharp turn into bonkers territory that’s “out there” even for a vampire drama. A pity," and ended her review somewhat cryptically there.

Not everybody is going to like you
Not everybody is going to like you.
It doesn’t matter who you are. Or what you do. Or how hard you try.
You can be doing exactly what God made you to do. Living in the will of God in the very best way you know how. Kind, compassionate, with the peace and love of God overflowing in everything you say and do.
And there will still be people who don’t like you.
That can be hard to take. Because there’s something in us that wants to be liked.
For Christians, it can be even worse. Because there’s an idea that a lot of us have, that if we’re truly living a Christian life, everybody will like us. Entangling our relationship with God with whether people like us.
Making it way too easy to focus on the “everybody liking us” part. Losing sight of what really matters – our relationship with God and the corporal and spiritual works of mercy that flow from it, the true hallmarks of the Christian life.
There’s a lot that’s horribly wrong with the idea that if we’re truly living a Christian life, everybody will like us. We don’t have time to talk about everything that’s wrong with that, but here’s the top three.
First, it’s not true. The only person who ever truly, fully, completely lived a Christian life was Christ. Who got nailed to a tree for His trouble.
Second, no matter what you do, people are still people. You can do your best. You can literally be the most kind, most loving, most holy human being possible. And people will hate you for it, because of how it makes them feel about themselves (see the life of Christ for details).
Finally, God has specifically told you and me to not waste our time trying to win over the people who hate us. That’s what the whole “Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces” thing in today’s Gospel is all about.
God has given you everything that you need to be who He made you to be. That is a holy and precious thing, it’s your pearl. God gave it to you, so you could use it to do the good that He is calling you to do. Not to throw your pearl away for people who hate you.
Don’t waste another moment on the people who hate you. Don’t worry about winning them over. Stay focused on God and the good that God is calling you to do.
If you have to interact with them, all God asks is that you don’t waste your time trying win them over. Or trying to get back at them. Simply “do to them what you would have them do to you.” And move on.
Whether other people like you or not says nothing about your relationship with God.
Because your relationship with God is based on, well, your relationship with God.
And He’s waiting for you with open arms.

Vanessa: You know, Gauche, I have to say, you’ve been a lot more empathetic lately. Why so?
Gauche: Well, Gordon wrote the phrases “that’s too bad”, “I hear you” and “I know how you feel” on this little piece of paper and I randomly spew one out every time one of you pauses.

Whitley: Good morning, sister. Where are you off to?
Winter: I'm just picking up a check from the department of huntress affairs.
Whitley: Really? There's a department for that?
Winter: Why wouldn't there be?
Whitley: Well, this is only my opinion, but if a huntress cheats, I believe that's her business and nobody else's.
Winter: No, Whitley, that's not-
Whitley: And you get paid to do it, too?
