  • Sometimes to really appreciate the scale of a disaster, you need to break it down a little. So it back and enjoy as I examine a key scene from Rebel Moon Part 2 - possibly the dumbest 3 minutes in cinema history.

    Other examples of Diegetic sound in films include Baby Driver when he puts his headphones on before the car chases, Marty McFly playing Johnny B. Goode in Back to the Future, when the characters accidentally hit the jukebox in Shaun of the Dead and it plays Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen, Peter Quill and his Walkman in Guardians of the Galaxy.

      One of my faves is Lucy Liu's entrance to the nightclub with her minions in the first "Kill Bill"--that incredible "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" by Tomoyasu Hotei makes simply walking awesome. Then at the end it brutally drops back to the girl band onstage. nondiagetic to diagetic sound in one scene.
      Not sure where I'd put that opening scene in "Baby Driver"--we see him put on the phones, but then the music continues through the chase. So it's established as diagetic, but continues as nondiagetic in the scene.

      Depending on how much of a Star Wars nerd you are (or were, now), such as myself, I tie it between that, and in The Last Jedi, the evil "Supremacy" and its entire support fleet, crewed and led by white men, getting hyperspace rammed and destroyed by a literal purple haired nonbinary space lesbian in a "maneuver" that there is no way she could have known it would work how it did.
      However cool that scene LOOKED, and in all fairness sure the actual impact LOOKED and sounded cool, it still completely annihilated and invalidated 99% of the Star Wars space battle lore, especially considering despite them literally saying in the start of RoS that "That was a one in a million fluke" or whatever AS AN EXCUSE FOR why they don't just use it to solve every single problem in the movie, like just taking a few small ships and ramming Palpatine's whole fleet at Exogol, (they are literally all just sitting there in rows asking for it LOL) we see at the end of Rise of Skywalker that it is in fact just a normal thing now; any larger capitol ship/dreadnought and probably even death star sized space station can be easily annihilated by anything larger than a fighter just going lightspeed at it. There is zero reason why people wouldn't start just manufacturing Clone Wars-esque drone ships that are little more than maneuverable hyper drives, whose sole purpose is to ram larger enemy vessels, since it apparently even goes through their shields.
      Anyways, "Somehow Palpatine returned" is probably still worse... Oscar deserved better LOL.

Like it was Mass Effect 2's companion recruitment spree but more condensed and 'skipped through' only to force them together in like IDK 10 minutes and spill out their guts like it was a random script or content filler. Or like "Oh we kinda forgot or couldn't add more of char backstories in part 1, let's just skim over it with this scene I guess."

      Well this could work - with better characters (and someone else than Hack Snyder):
      The movies establish that Kora was raised by Bad Guy - after he lead the troops that killed her parents. So if there were scenes indicating that Belisarius did not only raise her as his personal killing-machine, but also looked like he really cared for her, then this would be believable.
      The obvious comparison would be Gamora and Thanos: Gamora hated what he did (and what he made her do), so she killed the illusion-Thanos in Infinity War when she saw her chance. But she was obviously distressed afterwards. Because he wasn't just a monster. He really loved her (in his twisted way).
      I don't know ... since Snyder has stitched this movie together from so many better things it's possible that he really used Gamora as "inspiration" - but like with everything else forgot to have it make sense in his universe.

    On another note, I like to think the reason why the grain is so important to the empire is because Zack read/watched Dune before making Rebel Moon and thought "Hey, that Spice stuff is pretty cool. Let's put it in my movie as well, but a bit different." He who controls the grain, controls the universe. This is probably not the case, but we're talking about Zack Snyder, so everything is possible.

      He said that Critical Drinker just uses the movies he reviews as a vehicle to talk about what he politically feels (“Barbie makes jokes about men? BS! Captain Marvel doesn’t need a man? BS!”) and that he thinks he’s worthless. That Critical Drinker is without value and cheapens critical evaluations of a particular medium, wether it’s film or anime or something else, and it’s just him and others circle jerking media that go with their political narratives (Woke/Disney/Marvel/Hollywood making men dumber/girl bosses/diversity, etc) or whatever other stuff they’re consuming.

At the end of the episode he's alone in his quarters with the only thing left from that world, that flute, and he starts to play that sad melody he learned, then you see the ship fly away from the exterior while that song keeps playing.

    Soft piano plays over the top. The camera pans over to the side and we see the pianist sitting there playing.

    Another thing, that I find absolutely hilarious was: how completely useless the (not)-Magnificent Seven are.
    We spend the entire first movie, going from planet to planet, gathering these jabronies and are let to believe they have some special skills, which will come to play during the climactic battle, right?
    WRONG!
    For example: the space Tarzan dude. We spend a long sequence in part 1, where he tames that Hippogriff. So, you assume that he will gather some of these creatures and lead them into battle against the Imperium forces. Instead he just fights like a normal dude.
    Or the Asian chick, with the (not)-lighsabers, you would think she will go full-on Rurouni Kenshin swordmaster style, instead she has 1 fight scene against 4 enemy soldiers, which she barely defeats and then dies from her injuries.
    And best of all: Djimon Hounsou's general Titus, who is supposed to be the greatest general in the galaxy. You think: ''Oh man, he's gonna use some cool tactics and what not."
    His strategy is: "Use the sacks of flour as cover, because the Empire needs the grain."
    And Plan B: ''Do a frontal assault against an enemy with superior numbers & firepower."

That's why jump cuts, shaky cam, over the top lens flare and explosions (and thanks to the MCU, quippy one liners and jokes every other line) are so abused.

      @@mattandrews2594 yeah but dune has the houses and a complex power sharing system, the details of which are all laid out and consistent.. not to mention its an emperor not a king and not s 1 to 1 replica of the feudal system in space.. in that setting it actually makes sense

    I remember trying to watch Batman vs Superman back in the day because there were people hyping it, and I walked out on the film around the halfway point because I felt honestly infuriated for having wasted almost 2 hours of my life on such a moronic film. And since then I've avoided Snyder films like the plague, until Rebel Moon came out. I went to watch it out of curiosity, and again walked out before the halfway point because it was just such a majorly, deeply, ineffably stupid movie. I can not understand how he still makes movies
