  • Solo was pretty alright - worth seeing once. And Andor was fantastic.

    Seriously, if you like star wars but find everything you’ve seen under the Disney release umbrella to be underwhelming at best, watch Andor. It is incredible. The worst thing about it is it is proof that good Star Wars content can be made today, and instead all the make is garbage.








  • Exactly. The first half of the movie doesn’t deserve the ending it gets in the second half.

    I unsubscribed from /r/starwars after a few weeks of trying to have a friendly conversation about it. “The first half didn’t develop the characters as well as it could have”. You come back a half hour later to a -36 score. People were rabid fans of that movie and that was the final piece that made me want to not interact with that community anymore.



  • Not being funny, I actually do love linear programming. I miss the days when I’d just turn on the TV and there’s be a random episode of the Simpsons or King of the Hill, or something with stupidly many episode like one of the thousand Law & Orders.

    Picking something to watch from the beginning is a chore, and now I feel invested if I don’t end up being in the mood. Stuff that’s just “already playing” is something I dreamed of recreating when I started (not)pirating everything. "It started 5 minute ago but this is a good episode " was how I grew up watching TV (and even movies).

    Completely agree. My favorite scene in the show is in the first episode when the second in command dude gets told off by the station commander about how the troopers were off doing some shit they shouldn’t be doing and ended up picking a fight with the wrong person. You get everything you need to know about in that series in like 2 minutes of dialogue. You can see the bureaucracy, the dedication/patriotism, the “grey area” where the bad guys are bad but the good guys are bad too. And most importantly no cute fucking animals. We just get a straight up world building story with real humans that treats the audience like real adults capable of complex thought that can understand the nuance of why conflict arrises.
