re: #268 Assemble!

Ever notice how every Star Wars movie had to have a chase sequence? That got really tired really quickly.

My favorite reply to the phrase ‘cut to the chase’ (though one I almost never use):

“I’d rather not. The chase is just an unoriginal special effects fest. The build-up to the chase is where the originality, storytelling, and acting are to be found. I’ll often watch the build-up repeatedly once a movie comes out on HBO or Starz and rewatch the chase itself maybe once or twice.”
