Chirrut believes in the Force. Baze doesn't. Chirrut's example brought Baze around. It's a small arc but it's there, and it's not shabby in the emotional payoff when it happens.

I couldn't disagree more on the characters. I thought each one had a good motivation and a good arc. But that's me.

Jacklyn Peppermire receives an anonymous payment with instructions to kill the infamous "Baron," a corporate banker and mayor of a town in Switzerland, who has a habit of making his political enemies disappear.
Baron is a retired master assassin himself, so Pepperjack has to approach the whole situation with extreme caution, as many others have tried to kill this guy, with no success. He's just too good.
After scoping out the town, Pepperjack makes her first attempt...which goes wrong when Baron reveals he'd known about her being hired to kill him.
Barely escaping with her life, Pepperjack has to call it quits to save herself, but when all her special and secret accounts are drained of funds, she knows the banker Baron is behind it, and goes back to kill him to get her money.
After pulling off a particularly unorthodox plan, she finds herself face-to-face with Baron. An epic fight ensues, but the older assassin's age has finally caught up to him, and Pepperjack beats him. When she demands to know how to retrieve her money, Baron reveals that he was the one who hired her! He'd been hating himself for his past crimes for years, but couldn't stand to kill himself. So he'd been hiring other great assassins to kill him, but all had failed until Pepperjack.
He congratulates her, smiling mysteriously and saying, "I knew you'd be the one to succeed," and dies. She's frustrated when the Swiss army arrives and forces her to escape before recovering her money.
Later, Jacklyn Peppermire receives a letter saying that Georg von Krenn, mayor of a town in Switzerland, had been murdered, but his will had stipulated all his assets should go to her.

As much fun as the two guys were having, I thought Danielle Nicolet (Hart's character's wife) was great in it. She played a great character, especially during the couple therapy session.
I think the only thing that kept it from being a solid fun movie for me was Johnson's dumb act. It was fine until his full intentions were revealed, but then it played completely wrong. If his character had been just acting the ditz, fine, but afterward we should've seen him sober up a bit. Funny as it is to say, I think johnson is too smart to play dumb very well. Maybe it just didn't work for this movie, though.

I love, love, love my XPS 13

I'm game, though I've been brainstorming on this in the meantime and it's quite a different beast.

Agreed.

In fact, on another level, Passion of the Christ bugged me for that reason.
I mean, sure, the process of flogging and crucifixion was brutal, but the movie made it seem like the physical suffering was the point. Like LOOK AT THIS! DOESN'T THAT SUCK? DON'T YOU LOVE JESUS!!!???

Sure dude, but the physical violence wasn't 1% of what the suffering was, so stop it.

Anywho, I agree with Praxus, if for slightly different reasons.

On the subject of Weasley actors, how about the guys who played Fred and George? I think they "fit" the doctor a little bit better, and you could do a lot of fun things with two guys who look the same.

Get twice as much principle photography done in the same time, too ;P

No worries, I gotcha smile

I'll take this evening and write up a couple pages of a clear Dramatis Personae and setting info. I have a rough document for my own reference, but I can see how having almost pure dialogue would be damned confusing.

Contrary to Teague's nefarious accusations, I DO hate being that guy. I only said something because you said the graphic had something to do with your short film, and I'd hate for you to get flak from THE INTERNETS. It's like when you've got broccoli in your teeth: it's awkward, but a good friend tells you. wink

I hate to be that guy, but......*badasses

That's funny! I thought exactly the same thing. His quip was fine, but it would have been cooler if he didn't even bother turning around at all. Just turn his back and keep it turned...although, I'm a firm advocate that Vader's first scene was kinda pointless and that it would have been better if he'd only shown up at Scarif.

Also, maybe his armor and helmet was poorly done because Krennic showed up and Vader was like "Aw crap hurry!" and didn't have time to get the look perfect before his grand entrance ;P
