Random Social Chit-Chat v. Illuminati Confirmed

First three episodes of Andor were fucking amazing. Made Kenobi look like hot garbage. Easily the most adult Star Wars series yet.

I finally started watching The Mandalorian. Only took 3+ years after the initial hype/memes. Figured it was good timing after revisting the original Star Wars trilogy. It's good.

Speaking of re-watching films, I struggle with revisting old favorites vs watching new ones. I was finally able to combine my watchlist from like 2-3 different lists I had going into 1. I have it copied into my clipboard so might as well Ctrl+P here for posterity. I'll probably add another 50 before the year is over.

Yeah The Mandalorian was mad decent. The family friendly nature of it was the only detractor. Many people were also confused by Clone Wars characters showing up, since I guess they didn't watch the cartoon. Great fan service show.


We're 5 episodes into Andor now, and I have to say... I never thought Star Wars could be this good, this adult. It's everything the last few TV series aren't. Idk, for some reason the best movies/tv shows don't revolve around the Jedi. The Clone Wars is an exception but it's also not as adult as Rogue One/Solo/Andor.

Interesting. When I was watching it, I didn't think, "this is family friendly". Granted, it didn't have the cursing and blood & guts of a 90s HK film but then again, which films in the canon have?

I enjoyed it because it was entertaining. It had a 'space western' vibe. It didn't feel . . . forced. It felt like a show that could exist on its own without the merits of its predecessors, which cannot be said for the newer films.

I am not a huge SW guy (it's all relative when speaking about this series, eh?). So Andor is recommended for casual filth such as myself who has not seen every animated spin-off?

I would say yes. It revolves around Cassian Andor (introduced in Rogue One, the guy from Y tu mama tambien) but also just generally around some early Rebel efforts during the second or third decade of Imperial rule. Some characters are old canon characters but it's 95% divergent from any other Star Wars stuff I've seen. I guess I felt The Mandalorian was too family friendly due to the cute baby Yoda creature and just the general silliness at times but that's how most all of SW is. It has always been PG aside from episode 3.

So yeah it feels like a really good standalone series, the effects, sets, costumes are all amazing. Acting is better than any other Star Wars stuff I've seen. In order to understand the plot one only needs to have seen the original six films. Hell you could just watch episode 3 and 4 and still know what's going on in Andor.

Kenobi was rather disappointing because they forced this silly side-plot with Princess Leia as a child upon us. Kenobi could have been really good but they opted for mediocrity. So I'm really jazzed to have a good SW show to watch weekly for the first time since the late 2000s.

Cool, I'll have to give it a shot. Probably going to watch the second season of Mandalorian first.

Speaking of Mando, I was randomly spurred to re-watch the Lone Wolf and Cub films and holy, talk about inspiration. Possibly total rip off? lol. Believe me, I understand 'great artists steal' and what not, guess I'm just surprised at the connection, is all. "The Man With No Name" meets "Baby Cart".

Either way, I dig it.

Random Thought: been on a grind house kick lately. How awesome are those trailers?!
 
Recently picked up a 2003 dvd copy of Black and White in Color (1976). Great transfer and fantastic subtitling. Can't believe there hasn't been a bluray release.
 
@Mysterier i noticed the Letterboxd link in your signature. I can't believe I've gone this long without something like this. It's going to take me a while to get my profile built up but I'm having fun doing it. I also love having one place to keep a watchlist that will also tell me where to stream it. Do you pay for the premium version? Didn't know if it was worth it or not.

does anyone else have one? I'm having an existential crisis trying to pick my four favorite films.

I've been rating and saving films on IMDb for as long as I can remember, but I rue the over-Amazonification of it in recent years. I imported everything to Letterboxd and might eventually make that the new permanent spot for my purposes.

It was easy for me to pick four favourite films, but they're not my top four of all time. I couldn't possibly make an unchanging and practical determination in that way.

that might be a better approach

is there any way to bookmark some of these lists on there? I'm finding tons of stuff I want to go back to but I can't figure out how to save them
 
It appears you'd need the Pro version to clone the lists. I recommend creating your own list and adding ones in which you're interested directly to them.

Another option is saving the lists to a Bookmark folder in your browser.
 
Few on this, haven't seen & would like to. Sweetly, done vid on theme ( despite, personal disagreement with much of analysis & agreement on much, also.)

So there is the 2nd Dune movie coming out sometime, followed by a TV series that will be aired on HBO Max called The Sisterhood of Dune.

I've been reading Dune: Messiah (movie #2), and excited to see how it will unfold on the big screen.

Hey @D's Merry Christmas I hope you're doing well.

There's been at least two Dune movies on the big screen the first one was by David Lynch and had a great cast but is pretty universally regarded as horrible.
