Like I enjoy Samuel L Jackson, but do I need or want him being a regular movie star into 2085? I agree but I think this is inevitable unfortunately. One of the the things I enjoy about film is seeing actors I like taking on different roles as they age and sometimes playing against type. Also newcomers rolling in and making a name for themselves. I never entirely understood bothering to de-age actors unless you're doing a period piece that covers a lot of years in the same film and even then it's hit or miss. I also don't understand making up a beautiful glamorous performer to be unattractive when I'm sure there are a lot of good actors who are lacking in the looks department that could do the role. Charlize Theron was great in Monster but I thought it was weird to take gorgeous actor and make her up to look frumpy. Why not just cast a good, plain looking person?

Hey, the James Dean estate already consented a digital recreation of him being used in a movie, why not bring back all the stars of yesteryear? Get ready to see Marlon Brando play Jor-El for eternity!

I found out the same time Steve did about the Hamill AI voice. Jesus gently caress, that voice was hot trash. Like I’m kiiinda whatever for the Luke and Grogu bits, maybe stick em in Mando proper but never do this dumb voice poo poo again ever. The technology ain’t there! Man can we let things age and get old and new things happen. I liked how the Book of Bubba the Love Fett was going, even the Mando detour episode was fine, but this? Outside of the end western bit, no thanks.

Im only up through episode 3 of Bubba Friend and like, it's ok? I get that Star Wars nerds are going to nerd out about a Star Wars thing but I've been decently entertained by it so far. This Luke Skywalker poo poo has to end though. I really hated the end of Mando S2 because it was what, half a dozen of the galaxies biggest badasses just staring at a door for several minutes while a CGI mark hamill sliced up all of the dark troopers. I didn't know what the gently caress a dark trooper was up until then but the internet told me they are super badasses and I would have liked to have seen Mando and friends take them on! Instead we get deus ex skywalker to swoop in and handle all of them; mostly off screen!

Listening to their description of their episode I think it's less Disney trying to sink the original Lucas characters in favor of the Disney-created characters and more David Filoni desperately trying to make you care about his pet characters and Disney trying to create hype for the next Star Wars product. Like I wouldn't be surprised if every spin-off has a bunch of episodes and words hyping up the next Star Wars spin-off. The Kenobi Show trying to hype of the fans for the Young Kylo Ren spinoff, then Young Kylo Ren building up excitement for the Kit Fisto spinoff and so on and so forth.

Man oh man. Not really WHM related but this Neil Breen rabbit hole has kept me quite entertained to about a week now My 11 year old son is interested in making and directing movies so I work with him a little on things like framing, lighting and acting. He has a decent eye for good shots and effective scenes but he's shy with public speaking of any sort. I showed him some Breen highlight reels to give him the opposite examples of exactly what NOT to do and he was dying laughing. He watched the Jim commits suicide scene in Fatal Findings and said he could do a better job acting. SO I pretended to be dead and you know what? He WAS better than Neil in our little living room scene. I'm hoping it will give him some confidence

Listening to A More Civilized Age podcast, which covers the Clone Wars cartoon, tells you basically everything about Dave Filoni. In the commentary of an episode where a named clone character is grappling with if he has the possibility of leaving the war or not, Dave goes on about how much effort he put into recreating the loving holographic chess game from A New Hope down to the stop motion detail. It appears in the background of a scene and when George Lucas saw it he thought it looked like poo poo. If he's got creative control on Mandalorian and BoBF, then that explains a whole lot.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was supposed to be a jumping off point for that CGI creation becoming a digital actress. Even got her shoved into Maxims Hot 100 Babes or whatever as a publicity stunt. What a time to be alive.

Can't believe the guys and Jenn K. were so resistant to the idea of chilled candy bars. A nice Reese's peanut butter cup or Milky Way from the fridge is awesome.

We would intentionally rip the bag to write it off as a loss, stick it in the little drawer that collected popcorn residue under the popcorn case so it would melt and then put it in the ice machine to freeze it into one big block. Felt good eating that the weekend I was getting my wisdom teeth in. In conclusion frozen candy is great, it says so right on the Charleston Chew wrapper.

I've seen grocery stores and convenience stores have candy bars like Snickers in the freezer section so you can get them frozen candy bars.

They make "thin" peanut butter cups that come in a resealable bag and I'm convinced their purpose is to be frozen and eaten because it's just the right amount that no layer gets too hard and it snaps in one bite.

Does anyone know which mailbag is the one with all of the guys' wives? I was trying to find it last night by search and could not. I ended up listening to their Friday the 13th reboot episode and that poo poo is gold, Jerry!
