Maybe when it hits D+

Hey A.A. and Jesse, kind of a cheat here, but after seeing the latest Star Wars and giving it kind of a shrug, (it ranks somewhere around #8 out of the 11 for me) I decided to give the John Williams score a listen. On its own, divorced from the movie, I think it’s fantastic. When the finale goes from an Imperial March…

This is jaw dropping really only in that it’s a refocus of worldwide companies. Disney already won the movie-studio wars some three/four years ago. We’re just now seeing the victory lap. The real competition now - the new big three - are Disney, Netflix, and Amazon. How do those three stack up against one another?…

If what they say is true, then . . . “Release The Original Screenplay!”

I’m thinking that Young Pete was kind of unformed. Like an amoeba that hadn’t fully grown into a more solid animal. He’s a bit smarter now, give him that.

Even better.

I’m more excited for a Hondo reveal than a Boba Fett reveal, frankly. The spurs could have easily been Moff Gideon, given that the only need for wearing them would be in the case that said mystery person was riding one of those beasties of burden. Why wear them if you’re piloting a TIE fighter? So the reveal still…

I suspect he’s got something up his sleeve. He’s got Ahsoka’s adventures locked down, (whatever form they take) and I don’t see anyone at Lucasfilm moving them out of his care.

Holy shit dude, that’s a good idea.

Great one word movie quote:

That’s how I read it at first. If it’s a spoiler “fuck-off” then the guy’s an idiot. If it’s a “don’t underestimate my intelligence" fuck-off, then okay, but kinda harsh. "Fuck off's" need a qualifier sometimes.

Though I’m a non-reader, I’m not too concerned about spoilers. I wish the show had both more daemons, and more to why Will found the portal the way he did - I assume it’s location was revealed in the letters - but since the show never says, it comes off as though he just wandered to it accidentally. All that said, I…

I liked the episode overall in that Midge needed to get knocked down a peg due to her blithe running-off-at-the-mouth comedic stylings. She frequently turns off her brain during the comedy act. Or at least she does in moments of stage fright.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the show added a paparazzi type character to hound Midge over the Apollo Theater/Shy controversy.

“It’s the 60's!” Lenny dies in ‘66 so the show could tackle this in 4 to 6 seasons if it stays on the air that long. For such a bright, musical-influenced show though, it seems unlikely they would go heroin-overdose gritty in the span of a few seasons, even though “That’s showbiz!” Midge might, near the end of the…

ALSO SPOILER!

It didn’t bug me too much. It felt like a transference of power more than a romantic kiss. Rey kissing off the dark side, maybe. Idk. She saw him with his shirt off. There were parallel universes that just flew by where the two of them were despotic Galaxy rulers. Might as well kiss. Plus the whole series has multiple…

I kind of suspect the huge McLarge star-destroyer fleet was a bit remote controlled. (?) A skeleton crew, nonetheless. Or clones. Idk. As everyone has screamed for years now, the last 5 (I mean 5!) Star Wars films have been supremely undercooked. It’s a testament to slowing down and taking your time, that the best two…

Before this blows up into a slight against Garret Morris or Tim Meadows, look, these guys on stage were friends of Eddie’s. It wasn’t meant as some all-black male cast member reunion. It was just Eddie Murphy’s show-biz crew ... plus Keenan.
