    LOTS of bullets in most cases, and you have to be very careful that they are far away when you shoot them due to the acid blood. The reality is that all the horror reveal had been done in the first movie, the second movie could have just been more of the same or something different. Luckily they pivoted from horror to an action movie.

    Yup, the last actually good, Star War movie was Empire Strikes Back. Return was dreck through and through.

    Don't remember her in Time Bandits, a good excuse to watch it again (don't really need an excuse to watch Time Bandits though). She did a perfect version of Olive Oil.

    Having seen the abysmal state hand drawn animation fell in the early eighties I don't bemoan the loss of it. The Watchman ad looks no different then the movie, since I found the comic a talky bore I can't really compare it to that to see where the difference is either.

    It probably would not be my thing anyway but the trailer being so bad I would not finish watching even it takes it to a new level.

    Lightning Lane finally getting a plan ahead option. Depending on price I may start using it. The old version where I had to get up at 7 to sign up was a drag. Even worse was having to take the first open time slot. Once again though, price will determine if it is a ripoff (ok, from one sense charging for something that was free is an automatic ripoff)

    It did take long enough for the apprentice kid to notice Smiley fight her master to a standstill, and in true stupid Jedi fashion (going all the way back to Phantom Menace when Qui-Gon goes after Maul instead of waiting for Obiwon to catch) she goes after Smiley instead of trying to keep her distance at least.

    When you can't afford to shoot the movie in a city go find someone's back yard in the woods.

    Very soon after Darth Smiley revealed himself he managed to take on pretty much the entire lot of Jedi without too much trouble. That would have been a good point at which to send in a report. Then again they did send the one guy back to the ship and he got distracted.

    Looks like they might still have the Ghibli magic. Hopefully it is as good as the animation looks.

    Direct to Amazon? Another bad sign. That and making me think of "Leanord: Part 6" is a bad omen. But being on Amazon I can watch it without paying anything extra.

    Sometime they do the smart thing but whenever lazy writing requires - they don't. REALLY lazy (like this episode of The Acolyte) they don't even try to explain away why they do not try to report in. Anything from ship stuck and bad guy has parts to a storm makes it impossible for a while would do.
  13. Dynaman
    To be fair, NOT doing the smart thing and reporting in for backup is a Hollywood tradition that goes far beyond Star Wars.
  14. Dynaman
    Well, to be fair I don't care much about the characters we have now...

    Crow T Robot predicted the future when he said Christmas movies should have an action sequence...

    Strangely enough I recently started reading the early BT books again. Then again I waited till they were available on Kindle to start reading them again. My old paperbacks are long gone - probably three houses ago.

    A decent ending, not great but very good. With enough unanswered threads (plenty actually) to fuel a big mystery for a few more seasons to come.

    That is the entire problem. Disney has more yawn then Must See TV with Star Wars. These are not cheap shows to make so they need to make something that will draw more eyeballs to D+ and bring them back to the movies in theaters. With the first season of Mandalorian they were doing that but not really since then.

    That is the other problem for this, when SB came out SW was a hot property. Making a parody of something that has been parodying itself is a losing proposition. If the main character of SB was Baby Yogurt though...

    I doubt it. We can't have Bill, John or Joan in this movie, Rick is almost certainly not going to show either. So they are banking on the nostalgia of the name and the last time Mel tried that was a dumpster fire.
  21. Dynaman
    That is what I was going to say. DC, yup they tried to be gritty and fell on their face. MCU for the most part (even Loki in the end) was mostly good folks doing good things for the good of all.
  22. Dynaman
    It just is. If I did not have Disney+ anyway I would not be watching the show, but since I do have D+ I am watching it. If it were not for Doctor Who (which has been great overall) I would probably have dropped D+

    Excellent episode, really looking forward to the last one of the season. I've heard that viewership is not what was planned. I hope that does not stop production on another season. Finally, I forgot most of the callback this one has, I only just started remembering the original when I started typing this.
  24. Dynaman
    Yup. You can trust them to purposely bring children into a war zone, heck to even be commanders in that war. Anyway, the main sin of this show is that it is boring. Other stuff is forgivable if the characters were at all interesting, but they are not.

    Mae's wishes are irrelevant (Osha's too) since they are minors their parents are the ones that should make that decision. The witches living outside of the jurisdiction of the Republic should not be under any of the Republic's laws or enforcement by any agents of the Republic. That "outlawed" religion is only outlawed in the Republic. But that is another trademark of an "evil" organization, selective enforcement of their rules outside of their jurisdiction. I mean slavery is not considered worth stamping out outside the borders of the Republic.
