Mark Hammil does an excellent Harrison Ford impression, so there's a possibility that the "kid" is part of the impression, rather than a direct quote. Also, I was doing the quote from memory, so I might have remembered it wrong.

But I also like the thought that Harrison Ford calls everyone kid.

Please remember that Star Wars was released in 1977. It absolutely blew people's minds because they were doing something that nobody had ever seen before, to an audience that was just perfectly ripe for receiving it. It would have been impossible for them to cover every single base, when they were doing such ground breaking things, you kind of have to see it in the light of that, like you would watch Metropolis by Fritz Lang, or Nosferatu.

You can't nitpick it the same way you can Marvel slop in 2026, there was so many ground breaking things, most of all it was a genuinely alien experience because we hadn't really seen such a well designed intergalactic society and world building before, that all the minor stuff is just afterthoughts to what the greater story was.

It's like finding flaws in a renaissance painting, or the Iliad, or classical opera- which is a fitting comparison considering SW is the definition of space opera, down to containing one of the most genuinely masterful, memorable, and well crafted scores of all time.

Rise of Skywalker gave everyone what they wanted.

If you watched it wanting a fun action adventure movie, it gave you what to wanted.

If you wanted a movie you could nitpick and complain about on the internet, it gave you what you wanted.

Ford struggled with anxiety and imposter syndrome early on, and developed his tough, flippant exterior around that as a coping mechanism. So there are a lot of stories about him saying callous, tough guy things. But he's quite a softie who really loves the art of acting, so I don't think he's really dismissing everything and everyone outright.

I think Ford's attitude is similar to Guinness' attitude - it's not that he hates Star Wars, it's that he hates that it's completely overshadowed his other work and nobody ever talks to him about any other part of his career.

Ford's attitude about the films has always just pissed me off. If you don't like something, which you clearly don't, why you do it in the first place?

I mean I don't love my job but I keep showing up for the paycheck.

Christopher Eccleston famously hated Dr who

its my understanding that he hated Russell T Davis because Davis was abusive to the staff.

why you do it in the first place?

it paid more than carpentry. No, really.

MCU is genuinely mass market slop though. I cannot believe people watch that drivel, and I judge people who do. That's all I have to say on the matter, good day, Sir, I SAID GOOD DAY.

The same thing that is lighting the candles in caves and hideouts in Doom and Skyrim. It’s their summer job

Sheep?

Oh damn! Great catch, those are definitely one of the details why I could never get into the show. My brain registered it subconsciously without verbalizing it, I just knew I didn't like it or it felt dumb for some reason.

It was just emo drama happen to be set in a zombie apocalypse setting that wasn't even believable.

Not as bad as the comic though. That one sucked so bad.

Smdh.

It's not like this was filmed in Maine in the Winter.

It was filmed in Atlanta. It takes 10 days to go from mowed to overgrown 6 months of the year.

PLANTS vs ZOMBIES

They're always "styled dirty", so they look filthy but somehow perfect. It's like when the hero gets a cut, it's always this cool looking little streak across the cheekbone, or if it's on the body it's a perfect 10cm scar on the shoulder, or close by the pelvis so they can show off their abs. It takes me out of the suspension of disbelief, because I can't get lost in the acting if the acting is done by these perfect creatures that look NOTHING like they haven't slept, are underfed, paranoid, depressed, and on the brink.

Sure, that is harder to achieve, because good art is hard to achieve, and I just don't dig cheap art, what can I say.

The Ghost and the Darkness, Val Kilmer. I enjoyed that movie a lot. But every time that handsome devil smiled it took me right out of 18th century Kenya and straight to 1996 LA TMZ.

Enamels fucking ruined historical dramas for me while we're at it. Braces too tbh, ohhh we used to have actual snagle teeth in my day 😩

Motherfucker even my own teeth don’t fucking blind me and I wash my teeth.

Maybe you should try brushing instead.

they use whitening products to make thier teeth that white. i dint know people did this excessively to thier teeth. it actually damages your teeth in the end.

I also wash my teeth. Im just using regular dawn right now and my teeth are still yellow too. Maybe I need to try that citrus stuff with the grit in it.

YOU do, maybe. In a survival situation, trust me, that is not high on the list of concerns.

She was imprisoned as a child/teen.

Yep, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. The original books that it’s based off is written by Douglas Adams, the author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!

Eh it's over twice the length of the original BBC one. I wouldn't have minded seeing more. But it ended at a good spot at least. Honestly surprised it lasted that long with Elijah in it post LOTR.

Saddest ending with them setting up s3

Dirk Gently

I'm not saying it is. Just that you can't please anybody it seems
