"Fly" is also very underrated. Obviously it was doomed to be least liked episode since it had the lowest budget. But the directing of it accurately showed the psychological journey Walter and Jessi went through. It really conveyed them becoming mad when they were catching that fly. It's also one hella of a job for the directer to keep the viewer engaged when the script is so limited to one space. Thought he did he great job there.

"I would prefer a filmmaker be honest and make the movie they wanted to make, rather than by committee or corporate mandated fan service." Except the sequels are full of hollow nostalgia bait and fan service, including Johnson. The media spent a long time calling Star Wars fans bigots, and conveniently didn't mention how there was no backlash to any casting or character in The Mandalorian (with the exception of people on Twitter accusing Dawson of being transphobic, or calling Carano anti-vax). They claimed the fans pushed Ahmed Best to the brink, even though he cites **the media** as the problem. Th biggest problem LF created for itself was making a nostalgia bait trilogy and then attacking fans for not liking it, rather than just keeping quiet. Feige is a lesson in how to shut the f up when your movies get backlash. Perhaps this is why Johnson has to run away to Netflix and Peacock with Craig in tow, no studio wants to go anywhere near him?

He knew it was his job to make the empire strikes back, the second film in a trilogy. And the movie ends in a way where you have no idea where it’s going. But it was sad to see the hate he received. He is a master at what he does, and changes genres at will. Brick was a perfect Noir film, Looper a perfect sci fi movie, Knives out was a perfect murder mystery.

@@ed1rko17 - this is 100% false. Like I said, I love Rian. But he kills of Snoke, the main antagonist. Reveals Rey was a nobody. Reveals Kylo is still bad but his motivation is still, be bad. There’s no obvious place to go. No set up at all. After Empire Strikes back, you find out Luke is Vaders son, how will that affect the next movie? Han is frozen, how will they undo that? Luke’s hand is chopped off. Our characters are at their lowest point. So we’re dying to see them rise up in the next film. Infinity War did this even better, ended on half the universe getting blipped out. Our heroes losing for the first time. TLJ ends with Rey seemingly as powerful as ever. Kylo getting humiliated, making him not intimidating. The resistance escaping and talking about how much hope they have. It feels like a pretty little bow. That’s what you should feel after the third film. Not the second of a trilogy

@@kevinandrewsphotoThe biggest problem with the “Rey is a nobody” thing is that it feels borderline 4th wall breaking. Like they were people. Was Rey on KZread or Reddit? Did she think she was a Kenobi or a Dooku or a Solo? NO! The reveal should have focused more on why she cares about her parents, and the fact that THEY never cared about her. But Rian had to frame it in the same way as the Luke reveal and it’s so distracting

I loved the Brothers Bloom. So at least one person saw it.

I'd like to know if he has any plans of working with Bryan Cranston again? Ozymandias is an absolutely incredible hour of television!

Who is Rian trying to convince that The Last Jedi was good... the audience or himself!

I love how he still stands by TLJ it's a great movie and I really appreciated it regardless of what people say. Also I personally liked the silly humour but I mean I don't take Star wars that seriously hahaha , the fly in breaking bad was also my favourite episode. Great director!

My favorite thing about Rian is how positively he'll talk about everyone he works with. It's a good acknowledgment of how much of a team effort making a movie or TV show is!

He still doesn't understand why half of the SW fans don't like TLJ and the sequels for that matter. We'll never be united as a fan base and I don't want to because most SW fans are disgusting human beings. Good for everyone who likes-loves that movie but it wasn't the humor I didn't like, I hated the treatment of Luke and how Rey's Journey felt like it never got anywhere but she's still ultra powerful. Sequels are supposed to make you even more invested in the characters than before but it gave me nothing to like, just the knowledge that Rian doesn't seem to care for the original movies himself and doesn't like what TFA set up. Real shame as the sequels had great potential but I still think It was too little too late and the wrong people we're involved

Facts. Correlation of wealth and competence.🙌🏿🙌🏿

Lol I love that they just see starting with the last Jedi

Looking back at his filmography, I've noticed I love so many of his movies, and there's not one thing he's done that I hate. I'll be watching everything he does.

Rian johnson did good on the other films especially on breaking bad episodes, but gotta admit. He fcked up the star wars movie

He really said “Star Wars isn’t serious” in a recent interview when the creator literally said the entire story is a tragedy.. what a complete waste of talent

George Lucas used the archetypes as expressed by Joseph Campbell. You should look for the Hours and Hours of videos with Joseph Campbell and George Lucas. The Greek tragedy and hero archetypes was always balanced by comedy archetypes. It's on record that the first Star Wars movie is a crappy crappy script - the actors hamming it up - Carrie using coke to get through it. Lucas in the meantime was inventing special effects that were inspired by dogfights in WWII films. I saw the first film in an empty huge cinema in Melbourne, Australia instead of doing an uni exam. When the finale flying sequences I knew I was watching it the start of the new decade of film. But his script? It was B Grade, something Lucas's admitted. The Campbell hero fi ally hits in the "you are my son" cliffhanger. Rian is right, you ate also right.

He's a cool guy. No interest in Star Wars but I'll watch his other stuff. Brick was great!!

While I’m not happy with The Last Jedi, I don’t entirely blame him for it. He’s the type of director that needs a whole new story, not to be confined in a story sandbox that’s been around for decades. He should not have been sandwiched into an active story that was already being told, that’s bad on Lucasfilm.
