Plinkett's next review is revealed here....

Perhaps, but that doesn't make one a failed filmmaker either.

I, for one, am curious what JacksonArcher's take on this is.

In a galaxy far, far away?


/too easy

 

Impressive. Most Impressive

 

Eh...not really.

 

Well... yeah... but I.... Quote....

Oh, Nevermind.

 

I always find it amazing how RLM reviews can create such long threads here on trekbbs

 

By the way.. watching it again.. the "joke" five minutes in is one of the most insane jokes I've ever seen on film. It's funny as shit

 

Or, to put it another way: If you get to do what you love, and you derive satisfaction from it, and get people to read about it and discuss it in a positive way, you're a success whether it makes money or not.

True. It just didn't feel like a 1950s "B" movie. It felt like a 2000s "A" movie with "B" references thrown in. Still, all in all, it did have a bit of 50s flavor to it. I can honestly say my favorite moment was the diner/chase scene. THAT was fun. The movie was fun. In my opinion, of course.

 

You've just described a typical fanfic writer.

 

No, I just described someone who doesn't have a perpetually clenched anus. All writers are "fanfic" writers to some degree.

 

I don't think that's how the real world works.

 

Like most things, it can, and often does.

 

Why did they use that take?

 

Well everyone has their one break out work that throws them into the public consciousness, and I do agree that the TPM review probably did that as it attracted some famous twtterers such as I believe, Simon Pegg.. but it's largely due to the fact that it's a damn good review while being just diffeent enough from what Nostalgia Critic, Cinemassacer, and Confused Matthew were doing at the time. however, before doing the TPM review, RLM had already reviewed all four TNG films in a similar style featuring the Plinkett character. I think they're all quite good!

 

Most people are nobodies before they become successful.

Harrison Ford was painting someones garage before he got a part in Star Wars. Everyone starts from somewhere.

 

But was he painting it WELL?

 

^ Even if he was, he wasn't successful at it.

 

Beats the heck out of me. I thought that exchange was one of the best parts of the trailer - classic Indy, as it were. The film version sounds more like Flynn Carsen than Henry Jones, Jr.

 

Yeah. The only difference is in one Harrison puts the emphasis on "part" and in one on "time".

Maybe Shia tripped into a pile of manure after the good take.

 

Isn't that pretty much how Shia does all of his takes?
