Cats is tremendously bad. the fact that their hands are just, like, regular human hands with no fur on them is hosed up. some of them were wearing shoes? when they are drinking milk from the bowl it's inherently visually disgusting to me. Idris Elba and his whole deal was easily the worst part. I fell asleep for a couple minutes and I was grateful that those were fewer minutes watching Cats. I have nothing but bad things to say about it. would recommend
this post has, and I promise I am not joking, made me buy a ticket to Cats. Star Wars Saturday, Cats Sunday. Pray for me. Play weird French songs at my funeral.

I saw the star war. It was a big old mess but I didn't hate it, because I'm an idiot and/or an rear end in a top hat

edit: I will not be watching Cats because my mind is not strong enough

After seeing people discuss Enzo's poo poo tier rapping in the social media thread, I want to encourage everyone with Netflix to watch Rhythm And Flow. There are a couple of rappers competing on that who are world-changing. Particularly Flawless Real Talk, D Smoke, and Old Man Saxon.

That really sucked and couldn't have been more obvious.

It also felt like they wanted so hard to forget about The Last Jedi that they tried to shove two new films into two and a half hours.

I'm thinking of playing Knights of the Old Republic again.

Speaking of petty Star Wars poo poo, Drew Karpyshyn somehow managed to retroactively ruin both KotOR 1 and 2 with The Old Republic and one of the tie-in novels in particular. That's right, he didn't only ruin the characters and story Obsidian created for the sequel, but also those he himself came up with for the first game! That's some dedication.

By Episode 11, Rose does nothing but walk headfirst into a wall and piss herself. By Episode 12, she's surpassed everybody else to become the main character and she's a Force God that's strong enough to destroy the new planet killing superweapon The Galaxy Fucker 7000 with her amazing rose-colored lightsaber.

Watched it on a plane earlier this year and felt the same way. Went into it not knowing anything about it apart from it supposedly being great and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross doing its (v. good) soundtrack and ended up loving it. The slow buildup to the thing and the second half of the movie are legit brilliantly done

Lacey is really good actually
Ive seen a couple people reflecting om the last decade in this thread and i gotta say alot of it was bad for me but its ending on a high note, i had some horrible things that i wont say happen early in the decade that caused me to seek mental health counseling, i was diagnosed with PTSD, agoraphobia, severe depression and severe social anxiety among other things and was told i will likely never work again i had to move back in with my parents and over the last 8 years i have learned to live with that and have gotten to the point that i have been out as transgender for 2 years and I'm now married, the mental health things are still a huge barrier that i have to deal with by my life feels a bit more normal now and i am content in spite of those issues

I thought RoS started really slow with some super dumb retcons but the ending is really quite good.

Overall I'm satisfied with the plot resolutions of Rise of Skywalker despite being the movie itself being a complete mess that felt like I was watching 5 hours worth of 2 movies running at 2x speed. I thought the retcons were mostly fine. Killing off Snoke left a villain vacuum right before the big finale, and while Rey's parents being no one and what that says about dynasties vs anyone capable of being a hero is a cool thing to explore, it just didn't fit into a 9 movie narrative called the Skywalker Saga IMO. That's absolutely a theme that should be picked up in some new trilogy that doesn't have all of the Skywalker baggage associated with it. Rian Johnson seemed like he wanted to make a non Skywalker Star Wars movie, which is fine and cool, but you were making the 8th movie of the Skywalker Saga.

Bringing back the Emperor and then destroying the Sith isn't a premise that was ever going to set the world on fire, but hey, at least it wraps up that storyline and we can move onto new stuff. (Narrator: Disney did not in fact "move onto new stuff".)

My girlfriend has never watched a Star Wars movie, ever. Which is sort-of amazing to me because, like, how? That poo poo is everywhere!

I haven't seen any of the more recent movies, after watching the prequel trilogy, I came to the conclusion that my interest in Star Wars is basically "space and aliens and lasers and poo poo are cool!" and that the sum total of characters I actually liked was:
-Han Solo
-Darth Vader

And then the prequels did a good job of making Darth Vader retroactively suck rear end so now I just like Han Solo. And they made a Han Solo movie but I hear it was very bad? So no more Star Wars. There are other options for cool space poo poo.

One Road. Two Friends. One Ass.
So I watched the first three episodes of the Witcher with my girlfriend's friends. Within 10 minutes they decided to start making fun of it and quoting Monty Python constantly. It was horrible.

I've known this for awhile but if I'm excited about something I really shouldn't watch things with people that aren't interested in engaging with it at all. Same thing happened with that group when we watched Midsommer together. I don't hate my girls friends but holy poo poo they can be intolerable.

I am chill about it at until the car ride back.

Second episode is a lot better than the first, apart from the minstrel. And overall Henry Cavill is perfect in the role. But he's at best the third most interesting character.
