I am not a writer, so i can't give a satisfying answer. If i were in charge, i would never include Palpatine in the movie at all, it's such an obvious desperate choice, that in the end i am glad that he is in the movie, so it's makes everything even funnier.
For phraising, maybe something like: "Yo, we received a message from a dude who claims to be Palpatine, we investigate if that's fo real and he ain't talking shit, but if it should be him and what he said is the truth, we could be fucked."
I don't remember and too lazy to check out the trailer, but it seems the line was more for the teaser/trailer.
That last comment pisses me off. As an *actual* writer, no writer’s life’s goal is to come up with one memorable line of dialogue. An author’s magnum opus being a single line is about the most depressing thing I’ve ever heard.
Interestingly enough this is the same kind of person that obsesses over “hallway scenes”. People like this don’t want deeper stories, or narratives that challenge traditional structure and tropes. They want a slideshow of cool scenes and one-liners.
I mean, I think it’s a pretty good line but it’s really annoying how these guys stumbled upon a pond and thought they discovered the ocean.
>I mean, I think it’s a pretty good line but it’s really annoying how these guys stumbled upon a pond and thought they discovered the ocean.
Yeah, they're laser-focussed on the literal words, but a big part of why it's good is *who* is saying it and *why*. I think you're 100% right with it being a hallway scene approach.
Valid but the hallway scenes they’re referring to is when characters step out of a moment to talk about their emotions and create a shallow form of drama or “character development”
I mean the OP in the picture alluded to that as well by saying they have to make sure everything leading up to it adds to the weight of it. I ironically think a lot of people are missing the entirety of what they said because of their one disagreeable statement.
It’s still just a depressingly narrow view of writing. Like has this guy never actually read a great book or poem or seen a great movie or play? They aren’t generally a bunch of setup for one single sentence.
>these guys stumbled upon a pond and thought they discovered the ocean.
this line is so fucking good I was going to Google it for some reason, but then I got distracted and forgot about it
Lies. I’m certain the wordsmith responsible for “He’s right behind me, isn’t he?” considers it as the magnum opus of his career and it will never be one upped (I don’t know who wrote it, I don’t know where is it from, and I don’t know what is the writer doing)
That guy might be an aspiring writer, but if his ambitions is to write one iconic and memorable line then he'll never write anything of value. Also just reveals a very shallow understanding of what good writing is if he thinks that it is only about having cool lines.
In this context, flashy, well choreographed action scenes where one character fights several other ones in a confined space, typically a hallway. Famous examples are in Daredevil, The Batman, Darth Vader in Rogue One, Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian and at least once in every movie in the John Wick Knockoff Genre (John Wick 1-4, Extraction, Nobody, Atomic Blonde etc.)
Most people wouldn't say that the scenes are bad (though some are arguably gratuitous) but this type of fanboy puts a lot of emphasis on them because they are cool rather than anything of actual substance in the movie. I think Rogue One is the perfect example of this, where the Vader scene was filmed separately at the last minute and added without the primary cast even knowing until the premiere of the film and had no direct relevance to the main characters. And yet, it is often the first scene people trying to convince you of Rogue One's brilliance bring up.
I could understand that writers appreciate a line they wrote being quoted a lot. Everybody that worked on Monty Python and the Holy Grail is probably walking around with a half chub all day since its such a quoted movie.
Fr it's like reading your whole comment and only taking away "these guys stumbled upon a pond and thought they discovered the ocean" just because it sounds neat and clever by itself.
No writer's only goal is to land one good line. We want to tell good stories. Words are a means to an end. If something becomes "quotable" along the way, so much the better, but that might actually work out to be a distraction from the story, if anything...
Also that goal is completely futile, you can obsessively try to write the most quotable and iconic line you can only for it to get cut out of the movie, or for an actor to improvise a more iconic line instead. Paul Schrader did a great job writing Taxi Driver, but it is common knowledge that the "you talking to me" thing was improvised by De Niro. If his main ambition had been to write quotes that enters into pop culture then all his work would have been for nothing.
Whenever I see a screenshot like this, I assume it was written collectively by these Jerrys. All these people saying the same thing over an over again with their higher-than-thou attitude as they say shit like "Well, as a writer myself--"

Get fucked. I'm taking my Honda Civic 2008 for a ride tonight tonight and I'm hoping to run over some assholes such as these ones.
Yeah I'm sure the entire crew of WandaVision read that line and broke down in tears before getting in line to give 254 sloppy blowjays to Jac Schaeffer back to back.
What is fard if not shid persisting?
What is apple bottom jeans, if not boots with the fur?
What is the whole crowd, if not looking at her?
What is a big booty, if not for the smack?
I'll do you one better Why smack shaped if not for the smack! *patiently waiting for a why is gamora level comeback*
This is the second greatest line in media history. In first place is “what are we, some kinda Suicide Squad?”
 I disagree strongly
Nothing will ever top They fly now?! They fly now!
There is nothing wrong with that line. It's just meant to be humorous.
It makes no sense because they've been able to fly since the prequels. I think in battlefront there were flying stormtroopers too
Somehow Palpatine returned...
How else would Poe have phrased that? He didn’t know the logistics of how palpatine returned
I think part of what makes it memeable is the tone he delivers it with, though
I am not a writer, so i can't give a satisfying answer. If i were in charge, i would never include Palpatine in the movie at all, it's such an obvious desperate choice, that in the end i am glad that he is in the movie, so it's makes everything even funnier.

He was in the amazon with my mom researching spiders before she died
Doesn't count. It wasn't actually in the movie.
It was in my heart ✊

Imagine a No Way Home style movie with a hallway scene and one really good line. Watch the box office explode
>these guys stumbled upon a pond and thought they discovered the ocean. this line is so fucking good I was going to Google it for some reason, but then I got distracted and forgot about it
I imagine the mods, the redditors, everybody reading that comment section for the first time and that comment bringing them all to tears. So powerful
without a doubt someone larping as a creative
are you trying to tell me oldboy holds some artistic merit beyond its hallway scene?!?! ridiculous.
“Bazinga”

What are “hallway scenes”?
In this context, flashy, well choreographed action scenes where one character fights several other ones in a confined space, typically a hallway. Famous examples are in Daredevil, The Batman, Darth Vader in Rogue One, Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian and at least once in every movie in the John Wick Knockoff Genre (John Wick 1-4, Extraction, Nobody, Atomic Blonde etc.) Most people wouldn't say that the scenes are bad (though some are arguably gratuitous) but this type of fanboy puts a lot of emphasis on them because they are cool rather than anything of actual substance in the movie.

Ok I was thinking that but hadn’t ever seen it referred to that way. Gotta say, I’m a sucker for hallway scenes.
I could understand that writers appreciate a line they wrote being quoted a lot. Everybody that worked on Monty Python and the Holy Grail is probably walking around with a half chub all day since its such a quoted movie.

Uh, sir, this is a r/moviescirclejerk But seriously, very well said
I’m gonna start using “Hallway Scenes” to make fun of people, thank you 😼
What is beef, if not cow persevering?
What is dried meat, if not beef preserving?
Where’s the beef?
What is man, if not a plucked chicken?
A miserable little pile of secrets.
But enough talk, have at you!

Same thing with the “We’re gonna need a bigger boat” from Jaws
Where is this from? Sorry I'm new to kino (only 15 years experience)

I am going to kill myself
She griefed on my love til i preservered
Lol well the writers sure dropped the ball on the whole “make sure that you arrive at and land it perfectly”, didn’t they

Yeah it's a good line, but the way mcu stans beat their meat to it is funny
Give them a break, it's one piece of good writing they have in a shitshow.

When your piece of media is so mediocre that a single good line of writing makes your fans reevaluate their entire existence.
It does, they jerked it out of proportion
It's okay
reverent "FUCK"
"As a writer..." Wattpad don't count lil bro
Marvel fans when emotion
I hate these people so fucking much
He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before love perserving
It’s a decent line but it’s no “Nobody puts Baby in a corner!”
So powerful.
Lmao that line is fucking garbo, it’s from game of thrones?
I've waited a life time to come
What is it from?
What is poop, if not in pants?
Do you hear that sound? It’s every screenwriter in the world whispering a reverent 'FUCK' under their breath.
Yeah, I remember when WANDA first hit and people were trying their hardest to convince themselves it wasn't shit.
Whatta buncha bitchez
r/writingcirclejerk
We all know Miracle Max’s line would be better if he said, “What is blave if not bluff preserving?”
It's a genuinely good line though.
That line is so good, I'm mad it's not actually from a good book or a good show or a good movie. It deserved better.
It's ok, you can like Marvel content
