I had to wonder if you had a stroke or something for a minute, but then I googled Space Bear. Ah.

Just watched the trailer on my TV instead of my phone. It really has some of the most beautiful imagery I've ever seen. Gareth is infusing contemporary pop mythology with a sense of scale, poetry, and history. It's really incredible. It's movingly written, too ("Save the dream!"). Cannot wait for this.

One of my favorite things that Gareth does is his beautiful scaling

Star Wars

There's more Star Wars iconography in the latest rogue one trailer than there is in all 3 trailers for force awakens combined. Not a bad thing but it's only avoiding being fully accused of depending on 'Star Wars' by not using identifiable Star Wars music.

Also you'd be tearing that 'Save the dream' line apart if it were in any other Star Wars film. Be honest.

Six minute supercut trailer ... this looks intense. You get a better idea about certain outcomes and shooting style with this. Pretty amazing.

Op. Fuck. Right, of course. I'm sorry, I totally misread your post. I gotcha. While perhaps not poetic (or indeed as poetic) The Force Awakens certainly gave us scale and history, though. The history being the thing it probably did best, actually.

But, yeah, this looks better.

Really? You weren't saying that Gareth was infusing contemporary pop mythology (meaning Star Wars) with a sense of scale, poetry, and history?

Then I'm completely confused. But I'll fall back on the fact that I'm still sick and I only slept about three hours last night.

No, that is what I meant, but I was being a smartass by not expanding any further.

Anyway, good morning, Joey.
