My mother-in-law is still using hers today....

I’m reading these responses and, clearly, so much depends on how old you were when it came out. So much of my childhood revolved around my Star Wars action figures and creating my own stories to carry these characters beyond the OT. In the time leading up to The Phantom Menace, the anticipation was unlike anything I…

I’m just here to say he was awesome in Boss Level. Carry on.

I had so little interest in a show about that guy from Rogue One whose story we know the end of.

I mean, Andor is at least in the discussion for the best thing that has ever been made in the Star Wars universe, including the original trilogy. For something that’s been as culturally impactful as Star Wars has, that’s a big deal.

Eh... why go to a theater and spend $20 when I can wait 8 months and watch it happening live on TV and my front window?

I mean, we have more important things to do, like kill each other over which imaginary man is better, making money by exploiting the sick and poor, imposing our morals on others, banning books and other crap that doesn’t matter, and building shoddy overpriced products. Who cares about exploring or learning anything?…

Have you ever eaten a BMW?  Read the headline.

Yep, the final season ruins the entire series for me.

I’m not much of a gamer, but I did love playing Stadia games on my Surface Pro. This reminds me of that but more expensive and less cross-functional.

I prefer the 80's turbo death trap machines of Group B. That would get me back to watching rallying again.

In that still, he seems to be aging into Albert Finney. Which is not a bad direction.

While I enjoy For All Mankind, let’s also be honest: it’s a soap opera that isn’t afraid to lean into some of the worst/best parts of being a soap opera. And characters routinely do such dumb shit that in the real world they’d be shitcanned in a heartbeat.

Man, I know I’m too old (and lacking in almost every necessary skill set), but I’d still kill to be one of the astronauts tagged for the Artemis mission. Just look at the four of them! You can feel the confidence and competence coming right through your monitor when you look at that photo.

Post 00s Top Gear TV has all been diminishing returns. Just kill it. Car guys being dudes schtick got tired during Clarkson, Hammond, May’s run anyway.

Commenting on these posts is an exercise in futility since they are just updated versions of older posts, but I have to say that if ever there was a show that was perfect the way it was and absolutely did not need a second season, that show is Bad Sisters.

I never made it through book 2. Book 1 underdelivered on what it set up, and book 2 was so obnoxious I read the summary on Wikipedia and realized I should not waste my time. I genuinely do not understand how people call it good.

The “silent” music video version of it really drives that home, it’s amazing:

I don’t think the Lotus name is meaningful to many buyers, and those who do know it are thinking about lightweight sports cars, not generic looking electric SUVs. If someone showed me a photo of the Eletre and told me it was a new Hyundai or Kia, I wouldn’t think anything of it.

Yay.  Yet another company that made all the buttons disappear from the interior.
