    You'd might as well rewatch it. It's gonna be a month before a new episode comes out. And it holds up well on a second or third go around (I've rewatched it twice and I rarely rewatch them myself).

    Star Wars Rebels

    Another thing that struck me during the recent episode was the music. Much of it was decidedly not Star Warsy and yet it fit perfectly and really added to the mood of the scenes. They need to let Kevin Kiner soundtrack one of the feature films. The guy has earned it over the course of the two...

    The Fast Food Thread

    To this day the best hamburger they ever had was the McDLT. I was never big on their burgers at all but that one I liked. You would think that in 30 years they'd have revisited it at least once.

    I thought I could hear some bits of Mycroft's voice in the Prince's. He was unrecognizable otherwise.

    Hugh Jackman: Logan

    I like Fassbender and McAvoy in their roles but if they're going to cast their lots with Jennifer Lawrence just so she can mail in another performance for a big paycheck then they should cut the three of them loose. And add Singer to that while they're at it. It's time to move on to something...

    If you have Time Warner cable tonight's episode is already up on demand. It's good. Not the best one ever as some have suggested but really good.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    That stuff hasn't helped but CBS's All Access service is said to suck in terms of being able to deliver streaming content without regular buffering issues. They might be pushing this out until they get the kinks worked out of that since they'll likely get an uptick in users when the series begins.

    Star Wars Rebels

    I don't know for sure but if I had to guess I would say he probably did. They put together an ensemble cast of characters with the intention, or at least the hope, of the show running multiple seasons. Part of doing that is to include characters that you think are compelling enough to explore...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    He handled the re-edit but it was another Gilroy that did the actual rewrites and directed the reshoots themselves, his brother Tony Gilroy. He wrote all of the Bourne movies except this last one (and directed one of them) wrote and directed Michael Clayton. He's no slouch.

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Personally I think they ended up responding to one of the criticisms of TFA that required shuffling a lot of stuff around to accommodate very late in the process; Rey as a mary sue character that outshone all of the other characters in the movie. I think Jyn Erso was the same sort of character...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Saying the reshoots saved it is running on some assumptions. Very few people know, definitively, what the original edit was really like. Jyn's character was scaled back to add more to Cassian and Bodhi, so you can argue that it went from a single strong character and two weak supporting...

    Which is fairly common in "true life" movies. Another concurrent example is Mark Wahlberg's character in Patriots Day. He plays a fictional character that is based on an amalgamation of multiple individuals, though obviously to a different effect.

    With Legendary putting it out maybe they'll eventually fold it into their Pacific Rim franchise and we'll get a Kong-Godzilla-Jaeger as Earth's mightiest monsters take on all comers match.

    No it's not fast food related but I thought it would get more appreciation here than in the video thread. If you've grown tired of seeing people in foreign countries taking a dump on American style cuisine, well there's none of that here.

    Hidden Figures: we wuz space kangz

    Some of you are acting like "based on a true story" has ever been anything more than a loosely applied marketing tool used by an industry largely built on the peddling of fiction. When a largely accurate retelling of real life events doesn't make for a compelling story they embellish, sometimes...

    Another McQuarrie concept design has been a part of the show from the beginning; Zeb. He's based on the original drawings for Chewbacca.

    Star Wars Rebels

    Pretty much another filler episode this week but an example of filler done right by putting in just enough relevance to the broader story to give it some meaning beyond giving Zeb a little love. I got a little laugh out of AP-5's line about thinking Zeb didn't have much of a purpose on the base...
