My biggest problem with Solo was that the main character wasn’t as interesting as the side characters.

It appears they’ve done it — nostalgia finally done right! I’m tired of seeing my heroes turn into selfish shells of their former selves. From Kirk’s complacency in the Nexus, to Han’s abandonment of Leia, and especially Luke’s blue-milk fueled island self-imprisonment — the torchbearers of sci-fi legacies seem to

Meanwhile at Phil Spencer’s office:

Thanos was an idiot. First of all, he killed off more than half of all life. How many school bus drivers or passenger plane pilots got dusted, killing everyone in their vehicles? What did those vehicles crash into? I haven’t seen anything that said the snap was evenly distributed. Maybe he only killed one of those

Now playing

Since I haven’t seen that, this is how I remember him:

Yeah agreed. It just can’t work as a big studio film. It could work well as a TV series or a Linklater like vignette movie, but that movie was doomed as soon as the rights were sold to a big studio. Brad Pitt was just the final nail.

I’m going to have to have a look at the World War Z gameplay, but from the looks of things, it’s based on the film, rather than the book.

That is a goddamned shame.

The book was one of the best pieces of reportage fiction I’ve ever read in my life, structuring the “zombie apocalypse” around the patterns found in

“Whoa, whoa, don’t throw away that frog leg, Jabba. Throw that in some blue milk with some spices and, baby, you have yourself a stew.”

With a Bantha bone providing the base of a great broth! 

If his character doesn’t get a stew going in the first four episodes I’m out.

I was hoping that during the panel he would hype up the show with “We got ourselves a stew going!”

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that Kowakian Monkey Lizard bone. Now you take this back to you homestead, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a Corellian potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going.’

I fully expect when the Mandalorian takes off his helmet it will be Tobias.

Thanks to Arrested Development I can’t take Carl Weathers seriously anymore.

I think Scott may be the one earth-based Avengers that is best suited to handle a talking animal. He regularly commutes with insects

Sure, he pulls his hammer and the woman looks slight bemused. I pull the hammer and I get put on the sex offender list.

Now I want a Rocket and Scott Lang buddy team-up movie.
