    The Mandalorian

    This was a good episode. Just highlights how darn inconsistent this season has been. I agree that Mando is a dummy. I was also hoping for a gunfight. I was surprised that Carl Weather's character (I don't even know his name) was the fast-gun. Mando and Cara were both oblivious. The...

    The Mandalorian

    Honestly, this episode was entertaining, well-produced, but DUMB. It was the most adolescent of them all. The violence was toned way down from the first couple of episodes. Not sure why-- it was okay to kill scores of people in the first few episodes, but all the "bad guys" in this episode kind...

    His Dark Materials

    This may be the best thing I've seen on HBO. Unlike The Mandalorian, this series gets better and better with each episode. This episode was chilling and absolutely terrifying. I can't remember a show that had me as tuned in to every second of each episode as this does. Dafne Keen (Lyra) is a...

    The Mandalorian

    That episode was BAD. Slow, pointless, stupid. Made Mando look even more inept. The only thing I liked was the meaningless violence and the stormtrooper heads on pikes. ("I wanted to look up into their lifeless eyes and wave, like this.") Wow-- is this show going anywhere? If self-contained...

    The Mandalorian

    It is better than everything Star Wars since "The Empire Strikes Back." Still, althought I liked the episode, and I like the series so far, it is neither striving for depth/complexity nor the stupid-non-stop action motifs. Honestly, one small AT-ST would have leveled the town. There could have...

    Relocating from Philly to Denver

    I just spent some time in Denver-- I was looking forward to it. Of course, there is no way to summarize the culture/benefits/climate of a place in couple of sentences. I can see why so many people love it. There is pot everywhere (as mentioned here). There are tons of fit people. I was there...

    I was proving I could make Photoshop CS6 work on a Catalina Mac to a friend... I did (but that Catalina update does suck ass): Here is what I made (yeah, it's not that great, but it was 5 minutes of work and it IS funny , if I do say so myself).

    The Mandalorian

    I saw episode three and so much for Mando remaining a bad-ass/bad guy... Yodel is too cute. Is it only me that thinks he is 5 different sizes in the first 3 episodes.? He shrunk by about 50% in ep 3. That scientist dude needed to be fried.

    There was a line in "Russian Doll" (bad, by the way) that said something to the effect of: " A generation of artists were wiped out by Aids and we barely talk about it Maybe that explains "Charlie's Angels" new movie. There is just no creativity or talent for writing movies any longer...

    The Mandalorian

    It is sort of ironic how some of the best westerns are anti-westerns... "The Searchers" is a great example. As is "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" and "Unforgiven." "Pale Rider," on the other hand, goes back to the original trope and, although I kinda like the movie, I kinda hate it too... I...

    The Mandalorian

    Episodes 1 & 2 were solid. A lot of fan-boy service, but it was done well and with subtlety. I like the "High Plains Drifter" / "Unforgiven" angle this seems to be taking. I miss the John Williams scores. Love the 38 minute format. Let it roll...

    OMG-- good naked and bad naked... So true. Look, "Altered Carbon" sucked, but there are some beautiful people in it. But Dichen Lachman not only is "bad naked," but her nude scene is really fucking disturbing for so many reasons; not the least of which is the entire concept of her stored...

    I watched the first 2 episodes. Very awesome. It's been a long time since I read "The Golden Compass" and I remember getting a little lost in all the characters. I remember it being somewhat of an anti-church allegory. I DO remember going to see the first attempt at the movie and being very...

    I am up to season 3 of the rewatch of B5- VERY watchable. Excellent because of the actors, the characters, the internal and external consistency overall and it's vision of the future. Flawless? No, of course not! Dated? Of course it is, but how couldn't it be? Amazing that it had 22...

    OMG-- I am through season 2 of B5 for the rewatch. Awesome. I love how the second string characters shine this season. But Amazon Prime made a suggestion-- "Space:1999." That show used to play on the local network at odd hours in the mid-1970's. So I watched the first episode and I was...
