Finished Season 4 Pt 1 of Ozark last night. Pretty intense.

I had pretty much the same game plan when I ditched Dish years ago. while much cheaper those streaming services are slowly creeping up. And they add up too. I was an early adopter of the first iteration of DirecTV Stream and it’s probably gone up $20-25/mo since first subscribing.

Can’t wait to hear/see it some day!!

POSSIBLE LIGHT SPOILER Warning!!!! Read at your own risk Saw The Batman last night. My initial impression is it’s a solid 7.5-8/10….I need to see it again as it was long and a lot to take in. Production quality was off the charts. For the Batman character specifically, my first criteria is...

It’s later today @ 7 but my new wife and I along with my kids, sister-in-law and her BF will see The Batman at an IMAX fan screening. I don’t have words for my excitement level right now.

Got my early IMAX fan screening tix for March 1 @ 7……haven’t been this excited for a Batman flick since ‘08!!!

I have voiced my theory on what the strategy was for the Boba Fett character, in short I think The Mandalorian unintentionally pulled the rug out from under him. This series essentially is one big filler episode….

Yup love it for the most part.

^ I’m doubtful that actors are falling off trees that fit the exact description of the character in the books. I don’t want to see The Rock and John Cena (as good as they are in some material) in everything. I for one can live with Ritchson in the role.

I thought the “motorcycles” in the 3rd or 4th episodes and the chase scene later in whichever episode, was some of the worst stuff I’ve seen in live-action SW.

Ritchson isn‘t a fantastic actor but he’s definitely playing it a certain way. He actually shows more range in Titans. You can also see the character loosen up as the series progresses. I thought Cruise was pretty much himself with some fight choreography.

We started Reacher on Prime…..made it through 6/8 episodes. Not bad. I recall Jeff Mackwood talking about the Tom Cruise movies and Cruise and his stature not fitting the description of the character in the books. Alan Ritchson (Smallville, Titans) sure is a big dude and he definitely has a no...

Well, I agree episodes 5 & 6 were stark improvements. And it basically took two The Mandalorian set up episodes to get peoples attention. The creative team DID imo manage to make Boba Fett uncool. It’s a shame, the writing and story are subpar and Temuera Morrison is not capable of being a lead...

It’s a serious waste of time for most, unless you watch your entire library 100s of times over. todays digital copies are more than sufficient for everything but blockbuster action, or sci-if type movies and if they’re not, why wouldn’t you want to pop in the disc to get the best possible...

Just left the theater after viewing American Underdog. Really well done, I’m not sure how glorified the story was for cinema, but Catherine and I really enjoyed it.

I’m talking more about Star Wars movies as a whole in more general terms. I think the Disney + stuff so far is pretty good but a larger convergence of past series is coming with Ahsoka, Obi-wan and I’m sure other future projects.

I thought that sequence was the worst of the 4 episodes so far, thankfully they got that out of the way early. :D

What always disappoints me about SW in general is that they’re frequently making things up as they go along. In the sense that prior to the original trilogy, a massive library of source material didn’t exist, a la Harry Potter, GoT and so on, and I think particularly with the prequels and...

In these types of genres, usually the main character(s) operate by some sort of code. While Boba Fett is a bounty Hunter he’s not a true Mandalorian. I think we’re still learning the code he abides by. The creators and writers have to be careful with this particular character, they have to...

Even more unlikely with Marvel now being under the Disney umbrella and this series being on Disney+. But if they can push the envelope like they do with the Star Wars material, it should be fine.
