I like that it’s at least written more toward adults. The mining area is still a desert part of the planet, but at least there’s a city involved. So basically instead of writing a kids’ show with throwback stuff for the now adult fans, they’ve written an adult show that’s toned down a little for the kiddies. It’s a…

Broke the Internet

This is more akin to the John Mulaney situation. Famous wife guy whose brand is “I love my wife and kids!” ends up being a grossy grosserson

I have laughed at this exchange more than I care to admit. I want to know what “You’re going to straight Van Halen out your dorkhole” means. I have to know.

Son, we used to have to wait seasons before a show got really good, and each season was 20+ episodes. Someone getting into X-Files or Fringe or Babylon 5 or Buffy or any iteration of Star Trek today would do well to first look up a list of the most essential episodes from season one before beginning.

Are you having a stroke?

Sometimes I’m glad to be an “old” in his mid-30s. No idea who these guys are and I don’t know why I read this. The takeaway for me is “Wait, these guys are straight?” (or at least one of them)

A popular YouTuber who’s built his entire career and brand around a cheery personality and family friendly content is actually a cheating dirtbag?

This is firmly in fantasy utopia territory, but I like the idea of longer cuts of movies being made available. Not necessarily for mass consumption, but maybe something like a JSTOR archive. I have little to no interest in watching a 4.5 hour Love and Thunder (and I even quite liked the theatrical cut) but all the…

Tonally the movie was all over the damn place. So I’m not surprised that a movie goes from “Jane has terminal cancer” to “Thor finds his sole surviving childhood friend half-alive and mutilated, then makes a joke about her missing arm” also included a scene where Gorr carves off his own tattoos.

Rings of Power has WAY more ‘people standing around and talking’ BS than Andor so far.

I’ve only seen one episode so far, and it gave me a very Nordic noir feeling. So, considering that two of my favorite shows in the last 15 years were the original Danish versions of The Killing and The Bridge, that’s a good thing.

For the Gen Xers like me - 1. who are these people? 2. Is this like our Brad cheated on Jen with Angelina?

Because those feel less like Star Wars and more like you’re excited eight year old friend explaining Star Wars to you on the playground because he saw the movie first.

There is a clearly an improved look, of this over the volume.

His future is bright.  SUPER bright.  Nuclear fusion bright.

Honestly I thought the first 10 minutes of Andor were interested and quickly set up how it contrasts with other Star Wars series.

I’m honestly impressed with the set and world design in Andor. Obi Wan just felt like a collection of different scenes next to a green screen.

This how bored are people line of questioning is misguided, as the most generous reading.

It’s interesting - I was blown away by what the could do with The Volume but Andor does look incredible. So much of it is physical there. Reminded me of the original originals.
