Off Topic / Re: What Was The Last Movie/Anime You Watched?
« on: December 27, 2020, 06:28:21 pm »

While I was kinda hoping to like Wonder Woman 84, it ended up just being a really boring movie.  I like it less than the first movie, which I thought was just okay, but the WW2 era stuff and stuff on Themyscira was good and I genuinely like the scene of her running across the WW2 battlefield (That whole sequence might be the best thing they've done with the DC films), though the ending was just kinda nothing for me.  The new one is just "Hey, weren't the 80's cool?" and then there's kind of a villain who inadvertently causes chaos and Cheetah is a thing by the end, but boy this nearly two and a half hour movie does nothing to justify that length.  That's like Avengers level, where you got all these characters and stories to fill in that time, but so little happens in WW84 that is actually interesting and entertaining.  The writing is just so bad and so much makes such little sense.

Doesn't help that the action isn't that great either.  The Snyder-era DC films have never had particularly great CG, like sure its very clearly expensive, but its always very floaty, cartoonish at times, and not in a good way, it just doesn't match up to what Marvel does, where its all CG too, but there's better weight and speed to most things.  At this point, there's really only one of the new DC films that I actually like, and that is Shazam, (With a soft spot for Aquaman because I like Jason Momoa) because it's so much more simple and small scale and actually kinda funny, but none of these other new DC films work for me.  I'm kinda hopeful for the new Suicide Squad, because it'll hopefully just be full blown madness, and I'm interested to see the multi-verse stuff in the Flash movie, but I wish this era of DC movies would just stop.
The first movie was set in WWI not WWII.  You had to pay attention because they portrayed the Germans as uniquely evil and as the sole ones to blame lol.

Last year in the summer i rode the bus into the middle of nowhere then walked 2 hours in the sun up hilly (but beautiful) terrain to pick up Pokemon Platinum, Pokemon Heartgold and Pokemon Ranger 2. tbh in hindsight idk why i just didnt want to pay the 5 bucks shipping but the dude who sold me the game was really cool and drove me to the train station so i wouldnt have to walk the way back
That would have been bad if he was a no show like half those meet ups are.

It will most likely be Ezra Bridger considering Ahsoka was looking for Thrawn in the previous episode.

Parents should pay way more attention to what their children are doing.  For adults restrictions are stupid.

I meant he would be less likely to have to pull it out at a Sears than he would at a bank.

How about the fact that if you subscribe to his patreon, he'll let you know what games are in his video the day before it goes up so you can get an early start on buying up copies on ebay?
Thats hilarious.

Back in the day I worked at a Sears store in a questionable neighborhood . Store loss prevention was extremely busy . One day they chased a shoplifter in a trench coat outside and a sawed-off shotgun fell out of his jacket onto the ground . They gave up pursuit at that point .

Sears, really? Why not a bank? The felony charge can't be worth whatever is inside of a Sears department store.
Well a Sears probably has less security than a bank and it would probably only be a misdemeanor not a felony.

Loved the new episode, but then again, I'm easy to please when it comes to giving me more Mandalorians lol I didn't know Katie Sachoff was going to be in this.  I guess she plays a character established in the cartoon that I didn't get to watching yet, but her design and that of Sasha Banks character are great.  Apparently Katie Sachoff even voiced Bo-Katan in the original cartoon, so this is a cool way to bring her in, which doesn't normally get to happen (Kevin Conroy getting to be Bruce Wayne recently in the CW series was another notable one).  More figures I'm likely to buy lol

Good episode in general going to a cool water world, filled with Mon Calamari and others, giving us a fishing village/sea vibe you don't usually see in Star Wars and hits home for me.  On track for the main story as we'll be getting some Jedi in the next episode hopefully with Ahsoka making her live action appearance.  Also cool to have Titus Welliver show up as an Imperial officer, I mostly know him from watching his show Bosch which I ended up binging last year I believe, though I know he's been in other shows to, that's just the most immediate one I remember.
Bo Katan is in the Clone Wars and Rebels cartoon. It was also nice to see a water planet with Mon Calimari and Quarren, though they should have been catching alien fish instead of Salmon lol.  I recognized the Imperial officer from Sons of Anarchy I think.

Keep in mind 6th is considered retro now by a lot of people.

I thought the part where they actually killed the Krayt Dragon could have been done better.


Bringing this back with the new season of The Mandalorian starting and of course I'll say there will be spoilers from here on out for the new episodes, so ignore anything past this if you haven't started the new season.




**SPOILERS**




So yeah this episode was tailor made for me specifically.  We are back on Tattoine, we get Boba Fett's armor, we get a giant monster to fight, and then we get literally Boba Fett at the very end.  I'm quite happy lol

I knew right away that was Fett's armor, but that it didn't seem like him because of how ill-fitting the armor felt.  I thought they were gonna keep whether Fett was alive questionable for a lot longer, that perhaps he would eventually show up as a plot point much later in the season or even for a future season, but that he's going to be involved is awesome.  That we could eventually get a Mando vs Mando fight or a Mando/Fett teamup or even both has me pretty excited.

I was a little surprised to see the Krayt Dragon.  As soon as the ground shook and that they were in some small town, I joked it was Tremors, but then it actually ends up being Tremors, which I kinda love.  I feel like they changed the lore for them abit, as looking it up, there are two subspecies of them, one being the kind I remember from Star Wars Galaxies back in the day, which were just giant four legged lizards with horns.  Then there are Greater Krayt Dragons, which from description sound more like a sand swimming Plesiosaurus with a bunch of legs.  They don't show that in this episode, comes across more like a giant worm, hence the Tremor comparison.  Either way, this was a badass monster for sure.

The whole story for this episode is solid, though it doesn't deal much with the overarching story about Baby Yoda too much, which I'm sure could be seen as a small negative of the episode, but yeah I'm all in on this new season for sure.
I am glad they got the actor that played Jango to play Boba Fett.

I like the Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle Series which I think is considered mediocre not bad.

I used to hate Episodes IIIIII, but after watching what Disney gave us (with the sole exception of Rogue One) I now find the prequel trilogy to be a masterpiece.
Yeah I like Episode 1 a lot more than I used too.
