LTS Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 15 hours ago, Weave said: The hairs on my forearm stood on end watching today’s episode. So good. That episode is one of the best hour of "TV" I have seen in a long time. The entire series has been exceptional, but that episode is something else. When it was over we just sat there last night and absorbed it. Probably catching our breath that we didn't realize we were holding.

DarthEbriate Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 I'm going to catch the latest episode after tonight's game. It's pretty impressive that since the prologue/setup episodes (say 1-2), every episode has been better than the last. And the first episodes were fine, too. Just keep the hidden Jedi, lightsabers, Vader, inquisitors, etc... keep them all hidden. No teaser at the end of season 1 that Vader is now assigned to the hunt. It's not worth it. Keep expanding the galaxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might watch Rogue One and Solo, I just traditionally do a rewatch of the main saga once a year Sometimes it’s a marathon, this time just a regular rewatch though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 That's a wrap on season 1. And that's a darn fine Star War right there. Cute post-credit stinger, too. Search your feelings: you knew they were building something relevant and sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I got bored with Andor. Not sure exactly when, but I stopped about two or three episodes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I watched Draft Day. It was kinda fun if you suspend reality the idea that the actual trades didn’t make much sense. I watched Many Saints of Newark. I thought it would be better. I watched The Inventor, the Elizabeth Holmes documentary. It was interesting and good.

Oh darn I was all ready to respond with, “laugh it up, fuzz ball!” - - - I dunno what the hell happened to me but Attack of the Clones is growing on me over time. So much of my rankings though of the 3 series I love, Harry Potter lord of the rings and Star Wars come down to the particular mood I’m in when I watch am individual film. Ever shifting, I suppose it’s splitting hairs for me at times. But if you are in the right mood, Anakin’s pursuit into Tusken territory is strikingly poignant and “..but by our skills with a lightsaber” is riveting.

DarthEbriate Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 One extra note on Andor for us Sabres fans. The first name of the actor who plays Cinta (the rebel covert/disguise lady): Varada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Had another viewing of the lord of the rings trilogy, theatrical. Truly is THE trilogy, viewed in one go. Fellowship might be the best film, but Return of the King is unparalleled spectacle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch the theatrical versions and I have no idea what is going on,… and I read the books,… several times.😂 They just leave too much out for my liking. I find the extended versions to have more of a similar pacing to the books. Definitely like them better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I randomly watched "Gone Baby Gone" on HBO a few days ago. I was surprised at how good it was. Solid A-minus. Casey Affleck is a great actor and Ben is a really good director. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally mixed this up in my mind with “Gone Girl” lol so disregard my deleted post if you read it. maybe the titles and the fact affleck is involved in both. Gone Baby Gone was excellent. Gone Girl was actually pretty good too. Have you seen Argo? Edited December 13, 2022 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben A. has such a great touch as director -- it's hard to reconcile with his acting, or at least with his choice of roles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
