Solo: A Star Wars Story

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

I wouldn't let Ron Howard direct traffic.

What’s wrong with you?!?! Cinderella Man alone gave him a ton of credibility

 

[RDU VOL#14]

There are millions of us.

I know. I wasn't judging.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I know. I wasn't judging.

Oh..got ya.

 

[BenGrimm]

They've just GOTTA show him pulling someone's arms out of their sockets! That would be such a missed opportunity.

Supposedly there was a cut scene in TFA where he ripped Unkar Plutt’s Arm off.

Who did direct "Traffic"? Because that was a kick a$$ movie.

Anyway, "Solo" looks entertaining to me, but I love Woody, Glover, Newton, Bettany and Dani from "GoT" (went blank on her real name and I probably like her more for her looks than acting). Plus, dude playing Han seems like a younger version of that character to me, even tho I have no idea who he is. My wife even said, she would go to the movies and watch this one with me. Which is rare. She almost never watches comic book and/or Sci-Fi movies with me.

Soderbergh...who is ten times the director Howard is.

credibility? I'd say more his last gasp. Any credibility he had was utterly destroyed by the Da Vinci code.

Despite the fact that Traffic is terrible? Solo movie is gonna be great.

How so?

Traffic is terrible and Solo gonna be great...


Yeah we don't need to talk about movies with each other.

 

[bignewt]

How so?

If you think the mind sewage that is the da vinci code is good in any way just stop conversing with me it will be better for everyone.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

You brought it up.

 

[bignewt]

You brought it up.

I did and I stand by it but there is a limit to my acceptance...

Ok. Sex, Lies, and Videotape was a good one, but Traffic largely wasn't. I like the content material of Solo a lot.

Yeah he just won a Oscar for directing Traffic, what trash. I'm sure Ron Howard will deliver a vastly superior product regurgitating the disney/star wars guidebook.

 

[BigZiti09]

I thought newt was banned from star wars talk?

I'm not banned from anything, I am far too powerful!

Dude, Moonlight and Crash won an Oscar too.

Sidenote: not sure why you are going out of your way to act like an a$$hole. We are just talking movies here.

 

[mrorange211]

Cider House Rules also won an Oscar. Winning an Oscar doesn't move the needle for anyone on whether it's actually a good movie or not.

Hey Guys. Go see Bridges of Madison County because the Academy gave Streep an award. Well worth the time!

Little different when talking about directors.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I would love to see what Denis Villanueve (Blade Runner 2049) could do with a Star Wars film or Ridley Scott... or hell, even James Cameron.

 

[butchna]

Steven Soderbergh did a pretty decent job. It was 2000, lil early for a remake.

So...no answer?

 

[Lurkerin]

So many great actors who could capture the essence of Han better..and they pick that guy? Stupid stupid stupid...and the fact he is so dang short makes it even worse. Han was always my favorite character as a kid. Luke was awesome to me and my friends as well, but he just wasn't cool at all till RotJ.

We all wanted that Millenium Falcon toy set, and we always fought over who got to be Han. I love that they are doing a movie, but I hate their choice of actor.

Of the other actors that auditioned for the role (or even who didn’t) who do you think would have been a better fit? Not being a jerk, just curious. I mean I think this guy was a better pick than Miles Teller or Dave Franco...
