This is what happens when you take advice from losers.

Where is the "proof"?

Now I know the link is clickable.

[–] janelsenor (2044) 7 years ago

I clicked the link. It's just another retarded Plinkett review. However, I don't see how a video review proves anything.

Are you seriously trying to claim Kennedy chose JJ Abrams because of a Plinkett review?

"Are you seriously trying to claim Kennedy chose JJ Abrams because of a Plinkett review?"

I know it sounds ridiculous and that's my point. At some point they must have seen these "reviews" and just did what this guy said thinking it would make all the fans happy. I know it sounds outrageous because some loser like Plinkett shouldn't have that much power over this franchise. The same way people shouldn't have voted Gerald Ford out of office because of Chevy Chase's shitty impression of him on that stupid SNL show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRLHPUGKoXo&t=1s

Just posting Plinkett's video review does not PROVE that Disney made their decision based on it.

So no one finds it suspicious that RLM made a video with his Star Trek review saying JJ Abrams should have made the prequels and then when Disney acquired rights they choose Abrams to do the sequels?

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

RLM wasn't alone, it was kind of common for people to point out that Abrams' new Star Treks felt more like Star Wars movies, even suggesting that they were a "demo reel" to try out as a new Star Wars director.

I had heard that many times, even said it myself without prompting, yet I hadn't ever heard the suggestion that he should have directed the prequels. That's new to me.

Super 8 also laid the groundwork for Abrams wanting to make movies with a more nostalgic feel to them. Hell, Abrams himself may have talked about wanting to do a Star Wars movie, and he might have been working on getting a new trilogy produced for many many years, which was obviously successful.

This is an inductive argument. It lends support to your position. It doesn't prove it.

[–] Arghhhh (804) 7 years ago

I think you're possibly right, but yeah, it's not proof. I do think that RLM helped define the prequels as being the 'worst things ever' so when it came time to make a sequel all they bothered doing was to NOT make it like the Phantom Menace. "Don't make it good, just make it not like this thing" is not a good way to make movies, as we've seen...

Abrams was in talks to direct well before this video was published, so as many others have remarked, it does not stand to reason how this upload in particular necessarily influenced Disney to hire him, especially since the official announcement was made within a day.
