    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    really enjoyed this movie, but I think the first is superior. There is a lot of great action in this movie but I felt like it spent a lot of energy on lore and world building, which I have no doubt will pay off incredibly in Chapter 3. Overall, I'd give the first a 9+/10 and this one an 8. I...

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    New Darth Maul series just hit the comic stores this week, just a heads up. Kind of a before the prequels series.

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    I'm keeping up with all the comics and you make a good call about the Kanan series, it does set a great base for his character which would feed well into New Dawn and especially the tv series. Aside from that, none of them tie much into anything really going on in the novels so far, but they all...

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    small caveat that I still haven't finished New Dawn. I found it hard to get into, so I put it aside and since then there's been a steady enough stream of SW novels that I haven't gotten back to it to restart and finish. However, I know that it is pretty well liked by the fan base. Also, don't...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    yeah I remain in the really like it camp after 4 viewings. Its in the top 3 for me, I don't know that it has the rewatch potential that TFA and Empire have for me but I don't think thats a negative really. To me, the end 25 minutes, especially after getting to think about and really internalize...

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    Going by publication date would be a good bet, but by next month you could just crush the Aftermath trilogy all in one fell swoop. Although there are some characters that appear in more than one book (Rae Sloane for one), there isn't much dependence on knowing any kind of ongoing story with any...

    The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

    the latter. How awesome Batman came across was the huge buzz following the Lego Movie. It was almost immediate.

    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    The Great Wall (2016)

    pretty sure I won't believe anything more positive than "could be the worst movie ever, but awesome monsterz"

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Very general plot synopsis in the last line of this interview with Billy Dee after his lunch with Donald Glover. No fucking idea what the poster above me is on about...

    Split (2017)

    Planning to see this tomorrow so re-watched Unbreakable tonight for maybe the 4th time. I'm fairly blown away by how fantastic Unbreakable is after multiple viewings. I will say there are a few moments that gave me pause, but overall, the story is top notch, and the way that M. Night brought the...

    Star Wars Rebels

    I forgot about the big nightsisters/savage opress storylines that went on in season 3 or 4 too. That was really good stuff. I agree with all the above veterans of watching the show in consuming as much as you can, but the bad storylines, and there are a couple, to me are so obviously bad right...

    Star Wars Rebels

    absolutely watch as much of Clone Wars as you can, assuming the arc grabs you. There are, as mentioned above, certain arcs that aren't by any stretch spectacular. On the other hand, there are some that are incredibly fantastic. Do not miss the Betrayal arc involving Ahsoka in season 5, and as I...

    Gotham

    last couple episodes have been very good. The guy playing Jerome is fucking hitting it out of the park every second he's on screen

    The Belko Experiment (2017)

    looks fun, and for some reason I'm a sucker for McGinley. I'm in.

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    yeah I meant the originals, I had a crossed wire in my brain when I posted that. Had been looking into the Rogue One tie in books coming out soon and mis-spoke.

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    Thrawn novel should stand on its own, they aren't relying on any knowledge of old EU (legends) stuff as a basis going into these books, but having said that they are re-releasing the original Thrawn trilogy this spring I believe and the new novel should be a great precursor to those. As for the...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    alright thanks, it was a meta level higher than I was aware of I guess. I tend to keep my head down most of the time and don't see the extra levels. Thanks you two.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I don't think I get it, honestly. These guys know as much as me about SW, being pretty much the biggest thing in my life since forever, but make fun of people like me? Am I supposed to feel like crap about myself, or more about them because they know all this and then reduce it to nothing?

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    yeah, as a (sigh) middle aged chronically single person post divorce and few good relationships, I would cast my vote for "explore your possibilities" while you've still got your mojo. Get after it!

    Black Sails

    I end up bingeing from the beginning every new season. Although i love this show while I am watching it I can't remember a fucking thing plotwise a few months later. Probably early onset alzheimers. Except for lots of tits...I do remember that.

    Good Omens

    I read this book a few years back and although I vaguely remember enjoying it a lot, I cannot remember a single detail from it.
