Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

[Strat]

Every great movie is great because of its story.

That is different than "Every great movie is great only because it has a great story"

The LV rabbit hole / Black hole effect

[E.H. Ruddock]

Imagine if "The Road" was cast with, say, Hayden Christensen or Steven Segal. Then, you would have one of the greatest stories of our time made into a movie that wasn't great.

No it isn't? That's literally what he said?

I dont think he ever said it only takes a great story. He has said execution is important

[McParadigm]

The Color of Pomegranates is one of the greatest movies ever made, and it doesn't really even have a story.

'No story' is different from 'has a bad story.'

I would fucking love The Road with Seagal

Um...he objectively didn't say that?

I would fucking love The Road with Seagal

I would have been able to handle it much better emotionally. In.

It does. It doesn't really even have a plot.

Ha.

I want Steven S to play the kid, and Hayden C to play his dad. Otherwise the same exact film.

Goddamn I want this movie.

That's not the argument I'm making, Ruddo. It might be the argument Verm is making, though.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Also, Bill & Ted's excellent adventure and Gleaming the Cube are two movies off the top of my head that were horrible stories but the movies were great.

I have no idea what you're trying to say at this point, Joey.

I would want to kill myself after seeing this version. Much like after seeing the original, but for different reasons, so I guess yeah it would still be great.

[ABNorman]

You need to listen.

[epilogue]

Also, Bill & Ted's excellent adventure and Gleaming the Cube are two movies off the top of my head that were horrible stories but the movies were great.

Impossible. Horrible plots, maybe. But not horrible stories (in a cinematic sense).

[epilogue]

Though, can we just take a second and turn this into the Cleaming the Cube thread?! What a fucking brilliant movie that was.
