“Rian Johnson ruined the laws of space battle”. 🤣🤣
I loved Daniel craigs bond but even I knew that he wasn’t happy w the role at the end. I love the Knives out movies because you can tell he’s having so much fun
Rian Johnson ruined Star Wars.
Get over it and grow up.
@isaiahwilliams2642 how about using your own advice 🙊
@isaiahwilliams2642 Feeling called out, buddy?
Great the guy who helped ruining Star Wars..
Great, another butthurt fanboy who can’t get over an almost 10 uear old movie.
@isaiahwilliams2642 yup 👌, just saw you commenting on others 😂 quess im not the only one whos butt hurt but you to 😂😂😂
But like… would you say this to his face? This is just a rude thing to say at this point. Its been 8 years, nearly a decade. Hes just minding his own business rn. People like tlj. Its a (perhaps sad for you?) fact of life. Why waste time upsetting those people. Especially when we’ve literally just found out about iger blocking that Adam driver and Steven soderberg film. Johnson and fans of tlj are not ur enemy dude. Tlj is also a single film in johnson’s prolific imdb page. It feels so silly, even juvenile to still be seeing these kinds of comments. Star wars has been (and arguably still is being) decimated by Iger and johnson is minding his own business building his own critically acclaimed franchises with really cool people…. say something relevant or go away.
Bond James Bond 😅😅 Daniel Craig is just a legend
agreed
What stupid questions.
Bestest Bond ever Daniel 👍👍🍻🍻
Hope this film is better than the seond one, it was garbage..
Rian Johnson crafted possibly one of the greatest trilogies of the century with his Knives Out films, and Daniel Craig gave us an amazing protagonist in Benoit Blanc! Magnificent pleasure to have these treasures!
As soon as he stopped James Bond Daniel Craig changed his style and mood, he is now different, less James Bond more eccentric… but we can see it’s what makes him happy and his daily life was restricted by the role I think.
_The Last Jedi_ is the *_best_*_ Star Wars_ film since 1980.
id say rogue one just beats it out but its close
400th Episode of WIRED Autocomplete Interviews! Congrats!
it is not “autocomplete” these are just random trivia questions, the kind of questions where there is no reason or way for them to expand on, so we get short, 4 word answers for every question, with no depth. Like, why even bother asking the creator of Knives Out the question “who created Knives Out” – it’s a complete waste of their time.
Excuse me? Benoit Blanc was having a bath _while_ horribly playing “Among us”, if you please.
Man, Ian McKellen is looking great.
Best 007 ever.
I really enjoyed this..enjoyed Wake Up Dead Man too..but, I love Daniel Craig in anything he does ❤😊
The “greatest” knife was delivered to star wars with episode 8
rian with the steely dan reference my goat
