The difference between the prequels and the sequels is interesting. The prequels are terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE movies that nonetheless have a specific story to tell. They do an absolutely horrific job of it on every conceivable level. Every character kind of sucks in their own sucky way and nobody seems to be…

I agree with the exception of the Kessel run. It didn’t make a lot of sense to me in the context of Solo doing it fastest; it seemed like it should be a regular smuggler’s route that people in the business all know about instead of lucking his way out of a space storm.  I did enjoy his interaction with Lando.

If they had billed Solo as ‘A Han Solo Adventure’ instead of ‘the ORIGIN of Han Solo’ I think it would’ve been much more warmly received. It’s a fun movie with some crackerjack sequences; Ehrenreich was never going to be Ford but he hits the notes of the character well enough, the supporting cast rules, and they nail…

‘Solo’ is frigging fun. That's all I wanted from it, and it delivered.

Just watched Solo a second time with my partner who hadn’t seen it during theatrical release, and it really is a fun ride. 

Might I add that there’s a lot to like about the Clone Wars and Rebels series. The lightsaber fights between Sidious and Maul (and his brother), Vader and Ahsoka, and Obiwan and Maul are truly excellent. And Rebels has Tom frickin’ Baker!

Tickets run about 280 million bucks each.

Bagotville has crossed runways of 10K and 6K feet, intersecting around the middle. Montreal has roughly the same length but parallel. Why is this important?

Because landing an aircraft with damaged landing gear requires a FOD sweep. With Bagotville that possibly closes the entire airport until completed. You also don’t…

Because they can’t fly to their destination with the landing gear down and they wouldn’t want to raise the landing gear if it was possibly damaged, they might not be able to lower it again.

And only 5 months after TLJ, the most divisive film in the entire SW franchise and one that installed a “SW fatigue” in a significant portion of the fanbase.

Star for Snake! SnakeStar! Also, I heard he was dead? At least taller than that...

If you’re gonna get distracted, it may as well be to receive chicken wings, pizza and beer.

And peel that sticker off the front!  We’re not animals.

Once Upon a Time, an internet post ruined Pacific Rim for me by explaining that the operators didn’t have to be inside the robots. So, let me ruin this franchise for you: Put a siren inside a ring of explosives. Turn the siren on. wait for the bad guys to attack it. Set off the explosives. Repeat as/where necessary.

well, for all we know, it might have popped 639 years ago....

I once got my ass kicked in Wisconsin.

Coincidentally, my son showed me this video the other day. My reaction was: “That’s impressive as hell, but how does this guy still have all his limbs and eyes? Is everything he does this dangerous?”
