I don’t yet know if nazis will have liked Rise of Skywalker or not liked it so please hold off on giving your opinions for now

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".)

yet Netflix does it and produces enough content out of a season's worth of show that could be edited down to a really bitchin 2 hour movie.

yeah one of their kpis is “hours watched per subscriber” so basically editing doesnt exist and even 15 minute stories get turned into 10 hour documentaries

Outside Philly along the PATCO line if I can find a freakin house. The market has been so slow. I used to live in North Jersey a few years ago, in Edgewater. Nice lil town, I miss Mitsuwa

Kyuramen in Cherry Hill is the best ramen restaurant I’ve found in Jersey and Johnson’s Farm in Medford is a must visit for fresh seasonal produce (ESPECIALLY corn, tomatoes, and peaches in the summer).

I don't really dislike any Bond movie up through Goldeneye. The tone of the series swings wildly during the Roger Moore era, but I still love them for different reasons. I can watch The Man with the Golden Gun and View to a Kill over and over, even though they're pretty bad movies. Post Goldeneye Brosnan movies just aren't really fun for me. The Daniel Craig era movies are well made, and I loved watching them in theaters, but I have little reason to go back to them. I spend a lot of time wondering what more Timothy Dalton movies would have looked like, or what it would have looked like for Pierce Brosnan to come in after Roger Moore. I'm supposed to be packing for a cross-country move.

I watched a ton of riff trax last year. And the new candyman which I really enjoyed. And Nope. Those were all good. Sonic 2 was really good.

I haven't kept up with rifftrax since like 2015 and now I feel like I'm just too behind to ever get back into them and caught up, which I know is a silly thought to have since they're just jokes over movies. that happens to me with a lot of things that have too much content to reasonably consume

re4 remake kicked so much rear end. didn't need a remake but it sure had the love put into it. i wonder if capcom will take the plunge and try to redo 5 without the wild racism

Agreed, I even played the VR version last year and I still thought a remake was unnecessary until I played it and it just opens up the game world so much just simply having things like better draw distance and detailed backgrounds. Just a lot of thoughtful enhancements.

Hoping and praying for Code Veronica next even though I know it won’t happen.

Hellier is probably the worst paranormal show? It’s mostly process stuff like interviews and people blabbing on and on and predeterminism. Maybe 30 seconds per episode of the “didja see/hear/feel that???” bits that make these shows interesting.

The end of season 1(yes Amazon ordered two seasons of this) was literally the dude going wow maybe the mystery was all the friends we made on the way. I was expecting the psychic lady to start dating mothman or something.

I could not reconcile the positive reviews with what I watched; they made me feel crazy. It's one of my most hated watches from the past few years, and the fact that there was a second season was mind-boggling. The first episode or two had really hooked me too
