The more I watch this, the more I am intrigued by a complementary series on the Celtics during this time. Sean Patrick Small as Larry Bird is so fun to watch, and I find myself wanting to explore more time with that character.

Another right wing lie! đź‘Ť

My issue with Obi-Wan Kenobi is the same one I have with prequels in general - where’s the tension? I watched the first episode and there was what was supposed to be a thrilling scene with Obi-Wan and young Leia escaping people who were after them, but we know those two are going to be okay. It’s television and…

Don’t you mean:

It is, but to be totally fair to the AV Club on this one there is a Christopher Lee Dracula film called Dracula, Prince of Darkness, so I’m assuming the writer is thinking of that. 

Enjoyable for what they have, albeit limited. If you got $15 to spare, it’s alright I guess. Hell, I’ve spent more on food for lunch.

Actually they used the most recent up date to the 5E rules where racial bonuses are no longer a thing. Instead during character generation you get to pick one stat that gets a +2 and another that gets a +1. Its done to move away from racial bonuses. Now different races mostly just change your appearance and give…

Still holding out hope for a Return of the Obra Dinn movie...

Has there ever been a director with as much obviously squandered promise as Blomkamp? The first two thirds of “District 9" remain one of the most startling things I’ve ever seen in a movie theater, but the ending was a mess and then... every other movie he made was also a mess. He can still direct the hell out of an…

The actual reason society is crumbling?

Updated intro: “Now sans Albert Alarr’s ass... these are The Days of Our Lives”

If you had asked me, my first guess would have been Dolly Parton, then Bernie Sanders, then Lizzo.

I read he'd just watched The Idol.

Thanos just showed up lurking in the background in mid credit scenes and not even doing anything how many times before he actually did something. Kang actually had a whole civ built in the microverse and giant statues of himself in the TVA after the first season of Loki, that’s way more exposure than Thanos got up…

Yeah, and he was even better in “For All Mankind”. Do people just not like Joel Kinnaman, for some reason? This is the first I’ve seen people express this kind of frustration with him. Is this like the Anthony Mackie thing where some people just dislike them for reasons that are hard to pin down?

Every time I pause a show on Apple+, if I don’t restart it in a few minutes, when I go back I have to start the whole thing over. It just started doing this a couple months ago and it is aggravating AF. Netflix does it too. I started “Operation Finale” and had to FF to where I left off when I paused it.

At least I can figure out how to turn on subtitles in Prime Video! Can’t tell if Max even has the feature or not.

It’s because it moved to Netflix (lol Peacock) and they put it at the very top of their newly added list vs being hidden in the terrible Amazon Prime app. And it’s a lighthearted, fun show that’s easy to get into whether you’ve seen it before or not.

That’s SIR Meghan Markle

Here’s some money, go see a Star conflict.Â
