Patton Oswalt said there’s probably a whole James Ellroy novel in whatever the hell happened to turn a guy as happy-go-lucky as he was early on into such a bitter racist jerk.

I’d say it’s dangling in the sense that he was instrumental in the prison riot and his character had a strong arc throughout; the way Andor is just pushed off the platform and that’s the last we see Kino, could be a bittersweet end for Kino, but most shows would put more emphasis on Kino being stuck where he is. I

TLJ did the only possible interesting to do with that character which was to kill him.

The movie makes it pretty clear that Luke doing the killing would have been the exact wrong thing to do.

I’m not asking for a neat little package; I just got the impression the show wasn’t done with him. I’ve been wrong before.

Star Trek (ToS) would re-use character actors so often, it would probably make a lot of modern fandom explode. Christ, Mark Lenard’s first appearance on the show was not as Sarek but as a Romulan commander. That would launch a thousand idiotic fan theories today, each one leading to no fewer than a half-dozen posts on

Yeah, we didn’t get very far into TLJ before seeing that this guy was just the Emperor all over again, which is about all we could’ve guessed from the first movie anyway. No tears for Snoke, get out of the way.

I think so; the show is smart enough that they wouldn’t just leave that thread dangling. 

The prequels were only made retroactively better with the Clone Wars show. A movie shouldn’t need something 10 years later to make up for its shortcomings.

And my contention is: no he couldn’t have been, because he was just a generic Palpatine clone from the start (quite literally, as it turns out in TRoS). Casually offing him in TLJ was one of Johnson’s better decisions.

I see Yeezys literally everyday in the wild, in SoCal. A few of my buddies are also obsessed, and have a handful of pairs too. Though, one might only be obsessed because he was a Kanye fan (I hope he no longer is) and the other one collects shoes. I think they look terrible, that might be why I notice them lol.

Yes, never before had Star Wars introduced such an intriguing, nuanced character as [GENERIC EVIL SITH GUY WITH A FUCKED UP FACE].

This man classes up any project he’s in, Andor included. What a performance. 

Of the half dozen films coming out this season about moviemaking this is the one I’m most interested in

Maybe Director Len Wiseman should do more directin’ and Len Wiseman.

Yeah... I don’t think those guys and Disney are talking to each other anymore.

So many articles I read — and not just on GMO sites — have commenters seething about how celebrities are constantly walking up to podiums and announcing their thoughts and opinions to an uninterested world. I think I picked up on it, but it didn’t really crystalize until reading this article how much of that is

Have you actually seen his other movies like Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom? Marshall? Get on Up? Sounds like you’re just judging him based off of MCU movies than everything else he did where he was phenomenal.

your brain is bad at thinking.
