I did too, and it was obviously meant to clear the path for the new characters to come into their own, but I think the 3rd installment robs it of some of its heft.

Next movie: "Somehow... Luke is alive."

they were way too risk-averse to do anything interesting (or coherent) with the last installment.

Yeeeepppp. This is the real problem I have with most of the new Star Wars movies and a lot of new movies in general. They want to keep with a formula because they need it to sell, so they stick to obvious storylines and tropes.

Not yet. I need to start it this weekend.

With all the bad wigs on tv shows lately (looking at you For All Mankind and 5 Days At Memorial), I am nervous for House of the Dragons.

I saw this article and thought of you.

We asked an expert to rank the wigs on 'House of the Dragon.' Here's what they had to say.

Andor is great. An actual adult Star Wars that doesn't involve space wizards and just shows the fomenting of anger that eventually boiled over into rebellion. It's dark, gritty and I love it.

@Mather Andor is really good! I like it much more than the Mandalorian. I feel like it’s an adult show.

Also, after watching the first She Hulk, it’s by far my favorite MU offering. I am working my way through Phase 3 and everything I have seen pales in comparison.

I think She Hulk is tonnes of fun. Wait till you get to Maddissyn. She is the best.

Maddissyn is my spirit animal.

We just watched E1 of Counterpart on Amazon, seems to have some promise. Having JK Simmons as the lead helps.

I would absolutely hate to have to spend any time around Maddissyn IRL but I love watching her on the show!

She reminds me of the SNL character girl you don't want to talk to at a party. I am here for it.

I've started Reboot on Hulu, so far I'm digging it. Great cast and premise.

Definitely an interesting one. Had Fringe vibes. I thought the first season was strong but the 2nd was a bit weaker (though still good).

Yes! We loved the first three episodes that are up so far.

Johnny Knoxville - who knew?!

 

[ayayrawn]

House of the Dragon is probably the best cast show this year. Everyone rules.

Also, having neares the end of Fure and Blood, I'm VERY excited where these seasons are gonna go. Gonna get crazy.

Someone on Reddit said he's always been one of their favorite actors

Sounds like something someone on Reddit would say.

My favorite video games of all-time are Conker's Bad Fur Day and The Last of Us. The former is a pop-culture drenched platformer about an alcoholic squirrel; the later a is thematically rich story about the relationship that develops between a jaded 40 year old man and a snarky, naive teenage girl (who may or may not be the key to curing a pandemic).

The Last of Us proved that video games could do a character study as well as any other medium when it dropped in 2013. And it's 2020 sequel was nearly as incredible.

Needless to say, I am very excited for the HBO adaptation which is being run by the guy behind Chernobyl... even if I'm also skeptical of the casting.
