You’re incorrect that test audiences are pointless. They are, unfortunately, very useful.

From the article we can observe that Rian was in a discussion with a fellow film maker who acknowledged the value of test audiences and whose view point seems to have adjusted Rian’s position on it.

Even people in the business… Read more

People didn’t see if because Rian Johnson was directing, they saw it because it’s Star Wars.

It would’ve been the 11th highest grossing film regardless of who directed it.

The no shirts thing makes no sense. I’m white, I burn easily, and I’m a bit self conscious. A shirt, a rash guard, or a bathing suit.... they use combinations of the same, if not similar materials just in wildly different percentages. It’s all the same crap. Protect your skin, enjoy yourself, mind your own fucking… Read more

Excuse me as I pick my jaw up off the floor. Nah, use that, that’s a stellar brag. That’s just super cool. Read more

You’ve gotta include something by Jamiroquai. Good funk from a true car enthusiast.

Cloud 9 from his latest album isn’t bad:

Wow, Rian Johnson’s view of criticism as worthless means EVEN IF they screened the movie to a test audience that gave excellent, constructive feedback... he would not have listened.

And this is why we watch the video and read the article before jumping in and getting all judgey. It’s really politics and American discussions in a nutshell, lots of outrage, little context, lol. You deserve a star for such an exemplary example =)

There really, really needs to be red cards handed out for this ridiculous acting.

They’re doing it because they’re allowed to get away with it. Set some damn examples. Read more

These things are just suffering at the hand of our disposable, single use culture. If you personally owned one you’d jump less curbs, you’d care more how you parked it, etc.

Americans, well we ‘share’ just so long as we get ours. After that, well you know, uhh... just let the market decide ;) Read more

I support your ‘cause man. This wouldn’t be my way of going about it, but to each their own. Read more

Your flabbergasted confusion is the same I feel when sneakerheads talk about their expensive sneakers. They’re just sneakers!

If nobody is going hungry tonight with your purchase then do whatever you want. I can’t understand everyones’ jam =) Read more

Nooo no no no no... I agree with you TOTALLY... EXCEPT that this is a decade plus old Passat. Trust me, as VW owner from this generation, the family may not be just in their opinion, and fixing it is always an option, but it’s a losing battle. Run... let the Passat return to the earth. These VW’s in this era are in a… Read more

This title is straight up racist. Read more

Wow. A decade and a half ago I got into cycling, then bicycle building, and finally into motorcycling. I’ve ridden the wave of hipsters and millennials riding fixed gears and coveting café racers.

I feel as if HD is not only a decade late but following the trends fucking backwards.

That price is also ABSURD! An… Read more

If you don’t have a gun to measure someone’s speed neither you or I have any real, verified data on how fast anyone is going. The notion that everyone is speeding is just hypothetical masturbation. The fact that the person in the left is breaking the law doesn’t need a gun to confirm.

You’re also making a very common…
