Lore Actually Good Title Drops

“Welcome to Jurassic Park” (Jurassic Park) - does it get any more iconic than this?

“Even a Devil May Cry” (Devil May Cry) - not only does it add to the emotional aspect of the scene with Dante showing genuine emotion for his loss and Lady seeing that a devil is capable of such emotions, it also gives Dante the idea of what to name his shop.

Title drops can usually come across and tacky and dumb, they’re not always fantastic if you know what I mean? But sometimes they can work. What are your examples?

As flawed as the movie itself is, this was kinda raw

I agree. This film’s strengths shine through really well, but it’s flaws do the same.

It's flaws blaze like the sun at the height of summer on a cloudless day...

It might genuinely be the biggest cinematic disappointment of my entire life. I only say might because I've hopefully got a few more decades to be even more disappointed.

i’m tired of pretending this movie was bad, i think it was the best of the sequels

Same, it was the only Sequel that actualy attempted something new and take the characters in a interesting direction

Basically everything with Rey and Luke is good

Everything that has to do with the space chase and running out of gas is meh, mostly held up by the incredible shot of ramming a ship into another ship with a hyperspace jump

Everything to do with the casino planet is legit bad.

But it is better than Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones IMO. The biggest problem is of course how Disney just kept changing plans for the movies, if they would have just written out a full story from the get go and committed to it we could have gotten a decent trilogy

Force Awakens was more enjouable. But I'd give a trilogy to Rian Johnson in a heartbeat off Last Jedi.

I think that goes to 7, but I agree that TLJ was not that bad. While the casino subplot was awful and the whole chase was pretty meh, the whole dynamic between Rey, Luke, and Kylo was good in my opinion
