I am calm, and don’t call me serious.

I tried several of Anderson’s early and much beloved films, and none of them worked for me. His characters are almost all so taciturn or nearly silent that I cannot relate to or understand them, and this does not help to draw me into the story.

This looks dumber than fuck. There opening weekend.

Maybe Al Franken?

I didn’t say any creative work was more important than human rights. JK Rowling enjoys freedom of speech, just like everyone else. If her online comments are so vile and disgusting, does making vulgar comments back at her work make you any better? All the words in the world to choose from and you have to take a swipe…

On the very first day of journalism school, we are taught not to make ourselves the story. When media outlets decide they’re going to stop covering something because of the creator’s personal opinions, they start themselves down a very slippery slope of looking down their noses from their glass houses and deciding…

“Self-censoring”? I’m pretty sure the term for that is “editing,” but you dummies wouldn’t be familiar with that process now, would ya?

“If a good movie is successful, people will make bad movies." Is this a joke I'm missing? 

I thought Andor was very good and worth the investment. On the other hand, Rings of Power was pretty tedious from start to finish. If I wasn’t a nerd with fond memories of devouring Tolkein as a child, I would have bailed as well.

I know I’m very much in the minority but I’m a huge Blomkamp fan (yes all of his films) so a new flick by him with that great cast is high on my anticipation list.

OK, but apart from Black Widow, Hawkeye, Tony Stark, War Machine, New Black Widow, New Hawkeye, and Nick Fury, what have the Romans ever done for us?

I suspect Pedro Pascal is quite happy to have his face remain hidden the way things are going with this show. It’s not as though they seem interested in using those acting chops on display in Game of Thrones and the Last of Us.

“Grogu’s past. I want that story. I think we all do.”

Was Grogu's flashback all that interesting though? To me, it felt more less like it told a story, and and more like it just showed events.

“since both of them bathed in the Living Waters and had kept their helmets on ever since, Bo-Katan has been embracing Din’s community and their more hardcore religious doctrine”

Agreed! Is is odd, isn’t it? Since you’d think that Mandalorians are still just people, even with their creed and fancy gadgets. Like, you’d talk about other things too. At least most of them would, I reckon, aside from the Armorer.

Man the less time we spend with the Mandalorians as a group the better, frankly. They seem to have no interests beyond stating the obvious or repeating proverbs. Like would it kill the showrunners to show any of these people talk about food or the weather or something? They’re always just like “I will train by…

Yes indeed, and at 74 episodes, that's at a clip of marginally over two a year!

Well, five of these questions are answered by “after the opening credits of Episode 1.” Honest mistake, easy to miss if you take an hour long coffee break once the opening title flashes.

I will go see it if only to support the general concept of dinosaurs in movies. They’re awesome! They should be in every movie! Instead we only get them in Jurassic Park movies, and only one of those was good (great, actually)!
