Glad to hear it. That Boba ep was way more shittily directed and edited than anything in Mando. The pacing was atrocious and for some reason Amy Sedaris was playing a Michael Bay character.

Amy Sedaris is really funny, but yeah the tone of that character is a good bit off

Yeah, some weird mechanic... is her character supposed to be funny? Or am I just thinking that because it's Sedaris?

I don't think the character is really supposed to be particularly funny, but Sedaris is definitely trying to turn the character funny, and it's not working.

And her choice to make the character turbo-midwest for some reason.

She's very charming but Star Wars humor is usually a lot more dry than what she's doing. I mean, outside of the prequels anyway.

That was pretty hilarious if only for seeing how quickly they ran out of episodes they actually liked.

Two guys who ostensibly love "classic" Trek managed to come up with almost 15 episodes between the two of them, out of seven 20-odd episode seasons of TNG.

Brutal that not even a total recall discussion where rich evans can't pronounce words can really disrupt anime chat. Feels like the forums equivalent of antibiotics slowly losing effectiveness

I feel like it's hard to have a lot to discuss about such controversial takes as "the original Total Recall was really good, and the remake was pretty meh".

But bits like this always remind me how nobody batted an eyelash at how shockingly violent big action movies were during that time.

Davy Jones is still my favorite pure CGI character for looks.




I think most of his scenes taking place on a dark, foggy boat helps as well.

CGI has always been a matter of "choose your battles wisely". It's why Pixar started with movies about plastic/metal toys and cars.

They were doing Top 10 lists. Of course there was some overlap. That's not surprising.

Best part was when he asked how to pronounce Kate Beckinsale's last name, Mike told him, and then he immediately pronounced it wrong anyway.

if memory serves it took like three weeks for them to actually finish that arc. Jay and Mike are actually very good editors so... I mean what, did you want them to a breakdown of all like 7 seasons of the show?

Both times he says Beckinsdale are identical. Rich definitely said the full sentence wrong the first time, then asked afterwards, and whoever was editing had some fun with it.

I do, and they were making GBS threads on half the episodes in their own lists by the end of it. These were their favourite episodes that they specifically chose to talk about

Yes.

But this is also a film where the leader of a government who has remote control killer robots he is going to use to commit mass genocide against his people's serfs that can be remotely activated from the safety of the other side of the world decides that he, and only he, should travel with said killer robots to what he is going to turn into an active warzone.

The flying cars in the movie don't fly, they're magnetized to tracks like very expensive slot cars except they ride on the bottom of the highway and the highway is built for no loving reason way up in the air presumably to make sure literally everyone using it dies as messily as possible and takes out as many people below them as possible if there is a system failure of any kind.

Edit: gently caress, I forgot the killer robots are being built where they're going to be used but they're shipped to villain country and then shipped back again because why not? Why shouldn't we use the most expensive transit system ever conceived when we don't have to
