I have this open source thing I wrote some years ago, mostly for learning, but also because my employer at the time had a need I could fill if I could manage to build it.

Today, years later, I have not given much thought to it, but suddenly I find people opening PRs to contribute to it. I don't know how to politely say, "hey - do I have the context to properly review any of this." It's a bunch of unsafe rust too, being mostly FFI.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

Background TV as I wind down my work day.

I'll work my way through the main 9 movies over the next few days, and starting with The Phantom Menace might be sacrilege to some, but who cares.

As for the filmmaking happening here, I think the cast must have been so wrung out and beaten down by all the green screen that even when they are performing against live actors, the eye lines are still so fucked up.

I think the level of detachment on set works in some cases. Sam Jackson always looks incredibly bored, and I don't think that was just his acting skills.

This scene where the Jedi Council are evaluating Anakin brings back memories.

As an animation student, one assignment in my sophomore year was to do a sort of self-portrait lipsync thing. We had to sketch a caricature of ourselves, then do a CG lipsync animation where we stood in for another character in a clip from a movie.

I took the place of young Anakin and argued with Yoda for mine 🤣

Neeson: "I can only protect you; I can't fight a war for you."

Neeson: ...

Neeson: "Unless you are TAKEN, in which case..."

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

This is my favorite of the prequels because I love the presentation of Jedi as Hardboiled Gumshoe Private Detectives.

Still, there's a lot in this movie not to like.

Why is Anakin so much of a creep? How does such a fucking creep still get the girl? Gross.

Side topic: it's sort of wild that we try to separate church and state, but in Star Wars they've got religious cult cops, and queen senators.

@joshourisman Not really. He's not a Fuckboy. He's not a dog. He's just fucking awful.

@SnoopJ Pretty cool diner scene.

Retconning star wars like Anakin is a crypto bro who wants to manufacture scarcity in force sensitives.

The lightsaber battle between Yoda and Dooku was sort of fun the first time but it didn't have any of the emotion/tension of the "duel of fates."

Honestly, it was sort of throwaway gimmicky nonsense.

It's too late to start ep 3, probably.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@SnoopJ Yeah. Totally. It's a gag and nothing more.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@SnoopJ sort of a drunken master style situation. He's old and frail, but the force moves him just where he needs to be.

@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@SnoopJ some animator made his bones on that sequence so it's all good. Hope he got paid and didn't burn out only to hate his life today, as they do.

Thinking about doing something dumb where I cruise through 9 star wars movies as background tv.

@flyingsaceur I'm doing something else and it's just playing. I'm only barely paying attention.

@SnoopJ I'm a big fan of 😩 but face with bags under eyes is much closer to the mark.
