Plus, that knife salesmen. It’s like he walked in off the set of a horror movie for that one scene. There’s some good shit in that first half, except for Charlie’s mom’s song, of course.
LOL, Frankfurt in no was resembled East Germany, beyond the sameness of post war concrete housing. My pops was stationed in Berlin in 77 and I crossed over all the time. East Berlin was a fucking grim vista of 7 story block housing sameness. And I assume the rest wasn’t much better, because the train to Berlin would…
The Wilder film is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I think the “adaptation of the old Zahn books but with the Filoni characters” is the Filoni-directed movie we are working towards. I suspect the Ahsoka series will be a lot of table setting.
I’m assuming the killing spree will be the focus of the sequel
It’s giving off peak “superhero origin movie” vibes, but for Willy Wonka.

Having never read the books, I can offer no opinion on the quality of the adaptation — except to acknowledge that, given how long the series is, it was always going to have to make big changes in order to have any chance at all of reaching a conclusion. Taking 30+ years to put out 15+ seasons is obviously not a…
Wait... Aquaman 2 hasn't come out yet? Huh... I guess I'm so disinterested I thought it had, and had bombed like all the recent DC movies.
...the latest film action film...
ok now I’m intrigued,
“There’s going to be an animated Wheel of Time prequel!” YAY!
There’s something deeply hilarious about “UN FILM DE DENNIS HOPPER”.
That sounds pretty perfect for a sleep-deprived, overworked, 22 year old, me.
