This.
It's staggering how many replies in my original post said that the director of the new Rey movie made the "men uncomfortable" remark about the next Star Wars film.
She didn't. It was 8 years ago, in jest, about a totally different film.
Like I said: faux outrage.
People being "concerned" about a director of a new tint-pole movie "Only/mostly done documentaries" clearly don't understand directing or the film industry. Male directors get their breaks from commercials & music videos. Women from TV & Docs. It's not a legitimate critic.
My son is ecstatic for the next Star Wars film. My dad is excited too, as are my guy friends.
Having a protagonist who happens to be a woman & a director who is too does not mean that SW doesn't want male fans; Star Wars is for everyone.
Once again, faux outrage over nothing.
@WeekesPrincess But I guess our culture just doesn't appreciate the romance & hotness of a perfectly timed hug. I use to think it was perfectly sweet and beautiful, but suppose the main stream audience needs it to be a kiss to understand that when a man & woman hug it isn't just sibling vibes.
@WeekesPrincess I LOVE TLJ, the satisfaction of having the two leads from the first movie having to go on separate adventures to grow as individuals before being reunited, that freaking hug when they're reunited is so powerful! And then Rey door slams Kylo in the end!
@ComfortFinnRey Hey, are you no longer posting? I saw a post for Rise of Skywalker's 4 year anniversary so I popped on over here to see if you'd have a post too. :/
Rey <3 Finn forever!
@BenVictorre Normally I would send a DM but it looks like you have your DMs turned off. Do you have a Casting Call Club account and or portfolio of your work I can look at please?
#Blender#artist Looking for artist on #CastingCallClub very low paying indie job. Looking for someone as an accountability partner & tutor to work with for two hours a week. https://t.co/QOvDUyObKw
@isabellaamidala I use to watch Junkman and thought he was decent even when I disagreed with him. Even though I stopped watching him a while back because he was playing into the "edgy troll" trope and I don't believe in feeding trolls I didn't think he'd go that far. Despicable.
A common sentiment is that "people don't look out for each other anymore." But I just saw a driver flashing his headlights to warn other drivers of a cop doing radar ahead. It's the little things that keep our society functioning.
