OT: TV and Movies (With Spoilers)

[ABucksFan]

I still hope one day they make another season of "How to Make it in America" and the "Black Donnellys" . Sigh.

[Bucksfan28]

I have never watched Star Wars (saw E1 when I was a kid but remembered nothing outside Darth Maul). Was blessed with basically no responsibilities over the weekend so I bunkered down and watched the first 7 (Eps 4-6, 1-3, and TFA).

I think my favorites so far have been Empire Strikes Back, Revenge of the Sith, and TFA, with honorable mention to Return of the Jedi. None of them have really been bad, including Phantom Menace. Maybe that's a product of everything just mixing up in my brain right now. Kinda hard to judge movies independently when you consume like 17 hours of content over two days.

I've really enjoyed the first 3 episodes of WandaVision, but the more it starts to feel like a "Marvel" thing, the more likely I am to drop it. I really hope it stays weird.

[UcanUwill]

I'm loving WandaVision, but it's definitely more niche than what the Marvel machine usually puts out. The concept - creating a comfortable artificial world to deal with grief, but unable to control the darkness seeping in - is great, and a bit David Lynch like. I'm sure the sci-fi action is about to drop, but I have no complaints so far.

And I think "drunk" Vision was hilarious.

I just have one question, what happened to her accent, I mean did we forget she and Quicksilver had accents in previous movies?

Also, just watched Batman Soul of the dragon, I found it entertaining as a standalone film, but do not expect Batman movie, cause its barely that.

She pulled out the accent when she said her brother's name. It's obvious it's part of the plot.

The prequels are fine if you don't take them too seriously. It's just that a large portion of Star Wars fans are huuuuuge Star Wars fans and didn't think they were worthy.

The newer movies were no better than the prequels IMO, which for me means that they're totally watchable but also very flawed.

I will say the prequels and newer trilogy don't come anywhere near Mandalorian and The Clone Wars for me. I'm in the final season of Clone Wars now and these past few seasons have been so damn good. It's also cool for me to see how much the animation has improved throughout the course of Clone Wars. The final season is on a totally different level animation-wise.

All three seasons of Gomorrah are now on HBO Max. I've been meaning to get into this and after 2 episodes I'm loving it.

Can definitely see what you mean about everything following the original trilogy. Watched TLJ last night and - kinda to your point - was entertained despite noticeable flaws. When Rose saved Finn from the cannon I almost turned the movie off . But then it's followed up by Luke's return which is one of my favorite sequences so far. And I do think RotS is genuinely one of the best ones.

Definitely have to jump into Mandalorian and Clone Wars when I'm through the movies.

I believe there are 4 seasons with the final 5th season to air later this year.

A wonderful human being put together a 4.5 hour cut of Revenge of the Sith that includes a ton of stuff from Clone Wars and some deleted scenes.

It's absolutely incredible.

Yep, lol. I saw the movie in theaters and I think I might have laughed out loud when that happened. That movie really got away from them.

RotS was definitely very good.

I know the reviews on it were nothing special, but I gotta get around to watching Solo at some point, if for nothing else but to watch Donald Glover as Lando.

I assume it's english dubbed over? I find that hit or miss. At times it can be distracting if they do a bad job but I just watched Lupin on netflix and thought they did a great job with the dub and it didn't bother me at all.

Well you won't be able to say none of them have been really bad if you watch the next 2.

Edit: read the discussion after I posted this. The final sequence of #8 saved what was by far the worst Star Wars movie ever made. And by 'saved', I mean it's still the worst Star Wars movie ever made (by a lot), but it was less bad due to the ending which was the only mildly interesting part of it.

Agree on the Mandalorian. Top shelf series in every respect (although there is the occasional Star Wars writing, albeit rarely).

I have not seen Clone Wars, but I'll be checking it out soon.

Prequels are fine if you werent big SW fan for decades and were in a long marriage what SW is, it just has so many course corrections and inconsistencies, stuff like metacholorians that tried to remade SW into SCI-FI, and not Fantasy that it really was. If you are a guy who watched original trilogy and prequels in same week, for the first time, I imagine you should have far less of the problem with prequels.

About sequels, I will say this, I really liked Force awakens, but last Jedi was so bad to me, that I didn't even watch last movie, nor do I care or feel missed out. There is a main star wars movie that I didn't watch and probably never, thats crazy, but that shows how Brian Johnson sucks Mandalorian anyway is a real sequel to main trilogy, and I feel happy about that.

I loved Rebels, and am currently reading Light of the Jedi. Unpopular opinion, but I personally loved TLJ, but Mary Poppins Leia was really bad.

What tv show “holds up” better than any other?

I’ve been watching “Cheers” reruns, and sure its dated. But decades later it makes me laugh out loud, and has some fairly insightful moments.

I mean, season 1 of Arrested is now 18 years ago. Freaks and Geeks. Buffy. Firefly. Peep Show. Seinfeld. My Name is Earl. Malcolm in the Middle. Battlestar Galactica.

Well at least you saved one of the three best TV dramas ever for last.
