To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The Last Jedi. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Luke’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike The Last Jedi truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Finn and Poe being brutalized throughout the whole movie by everyone, which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Rian Johnson’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Looper tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Rose : “I can’t believe I was Finn’s first kiss.” Rey, Poe Dameron, Kaydel Connix, the ghost Stormtrooper Designation FN-2003 also known as “Slip” : “Um….yeah, sure.”
looking at the tlj critical crowd’s blogs is like reading the diaries of a celebrity stalker from before they commit some kind of shockingly depraved, vaguely culty crime
It’s not that deep we don’t like the movie 😂 and get this crap out of the #tlj critical tag.
