  1. Some guy asked on that tweet if Lucas-San would direct and episode and considering the wide array of talent like Favreau and Taika Waititi I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of the "old Lucas magic", prequel trilogy opinions aside.

     

    Also I wonder if we'll get an explanation for what happened to Mando and Baby Yoda shortly before and during the times of Force Awakens-Rise of Skywalker...

  2. BIg bucket of win for this show. Soothed every ache I'd had since Force Awakens came out! The terse dialogues and atmosphere were by far superb, with some of the post Empire planets reminding me of post Soviet Russia in some ways, even.

     

    It was also nice to see Carl Weathers, Richard Ayoade, and Clancy Brown for the first time in a long while!

     

    I am intrigued to see what part Baby Yoda plays in the future of the Jedi order...if he does at all. Also what the canon is going to be for the Mandalorians in the Disney Star Wars 'verse. Hopefully we'll see a physical release soon, as I know the 4K masters of the Star Wars movies are coming out sometime early this year.

  3. Watched it earlier this morning and am still trying to figure out whether I think this film is pure genius or just half baked. Gonna have to rewatch it a couple of times when it comes out on DVD.

    Like many though, I really enjoyed the Joker being dragged out of the police car in an almost revered way and him dancing on the hood of the car (kind of reminded me in Pink Floyd's the Wall), alongside at the end when he shoots Murray. That was probably the most emotional point of the film, I felt, especially when he makes the "joke" of crossing a mentally ill loner with a late night host and such.

    Also when he times out in the refrigerator after being at the hospital was also kind of another emotional chord that really spoke out alongside his interactions with Sophie being a delusion.

     

    Probably the only constant complaint that I felt was that Arthur's laugh was kind of jarring and just felt forced into the story. Kind of made it a nuisance to watch the movie after a bit.

     

  4. This seems pretty sweet, albeit not for a Disney Plus sub, mind, but hopefully we can watch pre New Hope Obi-Wan's life as an exile/guardian on Tatooine! Marc Bernardin on the Fatman Beyond podcast with Kevin Smith also said it'd be pretty nice to see a Lone Wolf and Cub take on it as well, which I'd kind of have to concur with as well.

     

    The comic books for him Disney did back in 2015 were decent enough, kind of sucks that they can't tap into any of that sweet Legends canon.

  5. Finally got off my lazy butt and took the free trial on DC Universe also I wanted to watch the FULL run of the new Swamp Thing and I must say the show was quite refreshing to watch. Kind of brings to mind a grungy X-Men coupled with Addams Family tropes, lol.

    The nursing home episode with the "original Doom Patrol" by far took the cake for me in the writing department as well as seeing some of Grant Morrison's signature goofiness that makes his works iconic in a way. I'm glad to hear that a second season is on its way!

    Agreed.

    I might see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood soon. That is a must see.

    Indeed. Just saw it yesterday and it was a rather pleasant Tarantino flick that ticked along steadily.

     

    As for calling this Joaquin's "career best", you have my attention, lol. I personally thought it couldn't get better than his work in "Her" from 2013 but in these cases I love to be proven wrong.

    Wow, that trailer makes me want to avoid this movie.

    Indeed, kinda felt the same, but then again Kevin Smith trailers have been deceiving. Original Jay and Bob as well the second Clerks are some noted examples.
