Are you implying NFTs are only useful as something to sell to greater fools than oneself? Because, duh. 

It’s almost like you can pinpoint the moment the writers realized there’s no there there with Boba Fett as a character and decided it was easier to bring in established characters to fill it out. 

I also balked at the length at first but eventually got over it. It flies by, honestly- Olsen crafts it very well. And, also: you can basically treat it like an audiobook or podcast if you’d like. It doesn’t need constant eyeballs on it to make sense, it’s what he’s saying that’s important.

I don’t really know how to assess this episode. It’s the best of the series so far, but it’s also decidedly not an actual episode of Book of Boba Fett. Why waste an episode of a (pretty meandering) limited series on an episode like this? It almost feels like admitting defeat- that The Mandalorian has been doing Boba…

Perlman’s not in Pan’s Labyrinth or The Shape of Water, so... yes?

Of course devs don’t want NFTs in games. It’ll make their difficult jobs even more difficult, with no clear rationale beyond trying to jump onto an obvious bubble trend. The general public doesn’t understand NFTs because the cultists can’t even explain why they should care beyond repeating, a la The Aviator, “way of…

It will only save the person holding the ticket.

This group of queens really gelled together very quickly. The workroom banter and camaraderie was on point, especially considering it was the first episode they were all together. “Who’s Sharon?” “Sharon Stone!” “Is that one of your friends?”

Interesting seeing EV-9D9, Jabba’s former droid torture room boss, now working the palace kitchen. Especially after we last saw it tending bar in The Mandalorian.

I think those cyberpunk modders could fit into the Star Wars universe… but it felt very odd to see them on Tattooine, a backwater desert world that’s always been depicted as grimy and run down and not as high tech. They just seemed like an idea that someone insisted had to be in this particular show.

I can’t get over how Zuckerberg and the other techbros pushing the metaverse with such confidence still have yet to put forward anything that isn’t just sci-fi spitballing  (holograms everywhere!) or anything that isn’t just a worse version of video games that already exist. To say nothing of at least putting forward…

Yeah, The Mandalorian already basically traded in Fett’s cultural cache, leaving Book of Boba Fett without the ability to build a show around an armored, amoral, mostly quiet bounty hunter. So now we’ve got a fairly chatty Fett who’s largely unhelmeted and who decided he wants to be the employer. Which is fine, but…

Cecily Strong is out because she’s making her NYC stage debut in a limited run revival of Jane Wagner and Lily Tomlin’s The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, which runs until early Feb.

3 episodes in, and we still don’t know why Fett cares so much about taking Jabba’s place. The show just assumes we should automatically care, because it’s Boba Fett. But we have no idea what his motivation is for what is apparently the main conflict of the series.

I also loathed A Little Life. Its heaping on of every imaginable misery on Jude would make even Eli Roth squirm. Yanagihara came off more like the God of the Old Testament than any sort of insightful observer of modern gay life- and yes, she took the strange pain to clarify that Jude wasn’t gay, and to make sex as…

The need to fill these vast game maps with scavenger hunts that typically amount to very little has made me appreciate the tighter 20-30 hour games that offer less free form exploration, but more meaningful gameplay. Even acclaimed and beloved games like RDR2 and Witcher 3 suffered from this. There came a point in…

Best premiere of the show in a while! I enjoyed these queens a whole lot more than I was expecting based on their reveal interviews. Everyone was watchable and likeable, with different perspectives and specialties, and there was no real total dud. Kornbread is a fucking star and deserved that win, but Willow has…

As others have pointed out, the EU concocted wild stories like that for what seems like everything we saw in the original trilogy. Everyone and everything was narrowly deciding the galaxy’s fate in some way or another. Every cantina patron, every bounty hunter, every stormtrooper and Rebel pilot, every background…

If these CEOs want to pay people to make content, they should, y’know, create safe working environments with sustainable schedules, good pay, good benefits, and a chance to move up the ladder.

Although I do think they genuinely fleshed out Future!Cartman to be sympathetic, I think you’re reading too much into the joke that... yeah, in a *bad* future, of course *only* Cartman gets to be happy, and *of course* he gets to be happy in a way designed specifically to mess with Kyle.
