Diminishing Returns: A Star Wars Story

I WANT AN EWAN McGREGOR OBI WAN KENOBI “STAR WARS STORY.”

Slow down, speed up, it won’t matter. People are out of ideas with Star Wars because it was never really the sweeping epic the name would suggest. It was about the Skywalkers, with a couple of colorful characters mixed in, giving the appearance of a huge, sprawling tale across the cosmos. And now your options are “Do…

Yeah, as we get farther from the OT, younger audiences just don’t care.

I’m not a “Rian Johnson ruined Star Wars” type and generally like what TLJ did with Luke/Kylo/Rey despite kind of a dour tone, but the plotlines that were purely his inventions (the slow-speed chase, Finn and Rose’s side adventure, Holdo and Poe’s clashes) were the weakest parts of the movie for me, so I’m not…

“This kids franchise doesn’t have enough moral ambiguity for me, and these heroes that everyone loves so much need to be brought down a peg or two.”

One new major film every two years was plenty. The big problem with the “anthology” side of things is that they decided to chain it to the original trilogy, limiting what stories could be told and how they could be presented. They really should just not have even considered side movies unless some promising director…

Boo big disappointment game.

I am excited to get this game and start playing it but I have an important question.

So once again it avoids the Lara/Sam questions that were the most interesting thing about the first game of the reboot and just goes with Jonah, who is an ok character but does little.

Well that sucks, more so for McHale since I found that had it’s own distinct flavour whereas Wolf is just another show in the din of political comedy but that’s just me.

The fact that they dropped all the episodes at once for a show that thrived on weekly tv schedules was pretty dumb. I don't know if Netflix did that intentionally or just gets really bad ratings for weekly shows

When cutting a bell pepper one time, I got stuck on the stem and decided to just put more force on the knife. I ended up slicing my left ring finger so bad I had to go to the hospital. I sliced it so deep that as the nail grew out, there was a slice missing.

Chris pine is an odd case as an actor because he wavers between being charming and punchable. I rewatched Wonder Woman and in that film he’s just wall to wall charm. (I’m delighted he’s returning to Wonder Woman 1984)

Fire extinguishers can be dangerous, especially when tampa’d with.

Not participating in social media at all seems like the best thing to do these days.

“Inarguably inferior Croatia side”?? What??? This is a team that survived two straight penalty shootouts before this game, destroyed Argentina like a college football team destroys a high school freshmen team, kicked the hosts of this World Cup out of the tournament, has an amazing amount of experience in…

Denny’s is better.
