You so sure about that? Cuz Ben Shapiro, an orthodox Jew and was 0% offended by her post, just hired her on Thursday. She's going to get to produce her own film now.Quote:

Wondering what happens next; replacement with a less wooden actor? Or simply eliminate her character entirely??
Probably the latter. They’ve made a point of finding plot elements to bring her back to the series’s narrative. They’ll probably just stop doing that.Quote:

Eh. It's watchable. People used to call Star Wars a "space western", when in fact the original three films mashed up numerous genres including westerns. With this Mando series, though, they're (so far as far as I've watched) almost strictly focused on reprising westerns. Which would be okay, but when the two leading characters are (1) a guy encased in metal doing a flat Clint Eastwood impression and (2) a Disney merch plush doll who not only also has no facial expressions but no dialog either, it kind of sucks the air out of whatever drama there otherwise would be. But sure, there are worse things I could be watching than an amusing enough Seven Samurais tribute episode.
Wow.
Cruel shoes.
right after mando wraps up this fall, we get this:
edit: removing unofficial trailer.
You mean a fan made mash up of existing films?
fucking pwned by the dark side
more fan made stuff:
That was goodQuote:

No, by genre mash up, I meant that the original SW incorporated elements of multiple genres.Quote:

As for what's-her-name, yeah, of course Montucky buys the old but-I-have-Jewish-friend game to overlook direct evidence that she's a bigoted kook. May she have a great career making films with Ben Shapiro. Maybe she can appear in a Dinesh D'Sousa project as well.
My only complaint is that it was a little too convenient to have Boba Fett clear out before Luke showed up. The awkwardness of them seeing each other could have been really funny.
Overall pretty meh. Can't believe I made it through two seasons.

Halfway through Season 2 now. Definitely appreciated that the first two episodes of S2 included clever tributes to two classic ski films, Avalanche Sharks (ep1) and Ice Spiders (ep2).
I was asked this same question when I panned Pineapple Express. (Which was unwatchable.)Quote:

I made it through 2 seasons, so it wasn’t horrible. Just not something I found amazing.
I was high when I saw Gladiator in the theatre with friends, and we were super critical of the film and thought it was really bad. Weeks later, we were sharing our mutual criticism of the film with one of our mothers. (We’re all adults in this story). She looked at each of us and asked/stated, “you all were stoned when you saw it, weren’t you!?”Quote:

On a related note, I tried to watch the Ewoks movies on Disney Plus. It went badly...

Much to my surprise (not a fan of earlier animations), really enjoyed the first episode!
Looking forward to moar!
^^agree!
There’s a new episode of Gallery up that gets into the de-aging effects in the season 2 finale. Pretty interesting
Excellent! Really enjoyed it - I forgive them for not having a gallery episode for every Mando season 2 episode. This was a great way to finish off season 2, and I'm assuming this means The Book of Boba (Mando 2.5?) is not far off.Quote:

Slow start, reserving judgement.
My thoughts as well. Have faithQuote:

I thought it was OK. But I had elevated hopes as Mando left me on such a high stoke level... but have to remember it needed to build a bit too.
Agree to disagree; I was all in from episode 1 for Mando.
To be fair, Mando broke new ground from the very start, BF has to shed some residuals.
I’m starting to wonder if this show should change its name to Lawrence of Arrakis.
Yeah, I really want this show to be better than it’s been so far. I didn’t hate it I guess. There are some good elements. The twins’ bodyguard looked pretty badass. Hopefully we get to see him cause some shit down the road.
Def needs to move quicker. Total fan service (banished Wookie who's name I forgot cameo, here's how they make a Gaffi stick, etc.) Which I don't hate, but needs a story besides the background.
Agree; glacially slow plot development. Heck, 1st season first episode Mando - BANG - baby Yoda and we were flying.
Probably best not to compare.
My guess is that this “book” is gonna have like 100 chapters.
My heady teen finds the pace refreshing.
One of my 11 yo’s pointed out that the wookie is another non-canon character being made canon.
Black Krssantan. Exiled wook turned bounty hunter and gun for hire. Worked for Jabba in the comics.
