    Haven't seen the Mandalorian, but I approve this message.

    After the 3rd episode, an article came out saying Favreau will have input into foreseeable future Star Wars projects. It’s getting better by the episode.

    If that's true, pretty impressive resume for Favreau with shaping MCU and now beginning to shape Star Wars.

    Don't have D+, but really enthused by your enthusiasm.

    Talk about a franchise in need of a rescue.

    That is good news!

    The show is why I sign up for D+. Really does have the classic feel to it. I have seen epi 3 but the first two played out great. Enjoying being in that part of the galaxy.

    After Ep 8, I considered writing them off forever. I just can’t quit you The Force. I’m just old enough to now have seen every movie in the theater, so despite shitty early reviews I’ll be watching Ep9 in the theater.

    Jesus, Mr. Robot is so good but I cannot handle it. Too dark this year. I am too soft.

    So I watched all 3.5 hours of The Irishman. I really don't get the hype. Genre's been done to death. Frankly, Goodfellas was much better.

    Terminator: Dark Fate - John Connor gets fucked, fucking up fate. Flick then morphs into a feminist crusade. Better than the other T2 sequels but mediocrity all around: mediocre writing, acting and directing. 3.5 out of 5 stars - I like the feminism theme.

    Joker - Class antagonism indeed turns Arthur Fleck into the Joker. What is a man if he utilizes vicious strategies in his crusade to overthrow a vicious society? A vicious clown? A man of virtues? In a kooky way, Arthur Fleck epotimizes the man of virtues.

    Excellent acting, directing and writing. 5 out of 5 stars.

    Oh, btw, fuck you Thomas Wayne.

    Sounds like Marvel had no idea about Chadwick Boseman. Seems negligent to cast an actor in such a high profile and high earning series that impacts shareholders so much and not have done a medical examination. It'd be like signing an NFL player and not reviewing their health before giving them a mega contract.

    Seems like Shuri is gonna take over the mantle.

    I agree 100% - but don't you think it's f'n weird that Disney didn't do their due diligence with such a major casting? Seems crazy to me.

    I watched a movie where Cedrick Diggory floated through space in a cardboard box with a baby. People killed each other and raped each other, which I guess is normal these days, but then they found another cardboard box with dogs in it. That was pretty much all that happened. I think maybe he was going... because they were all that was left? That’s why they found the dogs? So... anyway we still had sex after the movie but it was sad, confused sex. But very meaningful.

    I should say his baby was like 15 by the end of the movie. He wasn’t going to , I don’t think.
