Saddam Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The force has been raped again and the Star Wars fandom is in meltdown. An energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together Midi-chlorians The Whills The force is now a thread which ties one or more to their destiny and allows users to immaculately conceive twin babies through same-sexed couples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 The Force became The Farce when The Phantom Menace was shat out, I have no fucking idea why people keep watching the shite (like I said about Marvel, if people - not you, people who pay - keep watching it they will just keep shitting it out). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddam Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Still makes me angry that I and many others waited patiently for nearly 16 years for new SW content and then Lucas shat out that turd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace_Windu Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Slow Horses (Season 1+2) Blue Eye Samurai The Boys (Seasons 1+2) Silo Hijack (Idris Elba) Ozark (Seasons 1+2+3) All are quality Series IMHO Andor is about the best SW in ages.

Saddam Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 This new SW effort apparently cost $180 million and I'm having real trouble trying to figure out exactly what they spent the fucking money on. I'm getting The Producers vibes and am almost totally convinced this 'project' is a fucking Disney tax dodge while serving as a vehicle for a lot of people to get paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I really enjoyed Andor , and the 1st 2 seasons of The Mandalorian , and Wandavision and Loki from the Marvel side of things. My SW/Marvel purist friends are horrified by where the expanded universes have ended up but I think watching many of these series/films with my 2 boys, especially the younger one, makes me watch it through different , probably less cynical eyes than mine. The end of season 2 of Mando when Luke turned up had my ( at the time ) 9 year old whooping with delight and running round the room at maximum excitement levels. It'll probably stick with him for the rest of his life. He still thinks the last 3 SW films were dogshit though ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace_Windu Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The Acolyte - latest offering from SW has got off to a decent enough start. Some very good martial arts fight scenes in EP1 & 2 so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boojum Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 Started rewatching The Boys from the start since the new season has started and the first time I watched was when I was drinking so I don't really remember much of it It's pretty good but one thing I do remember is Karl Urban's atrocious attempt at a cockney accent either cast a bloody cockney (or at least someone that can do something approaching a cockney accent) or if you must cast a New Zealander change the character to a New Zealander, bad accents break the immersion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boojum Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 (edited) Batters my head (and I think shows the scary state America is in at the moment) that some people don't seem to understand that Homelander is a villain Edited June 15 by Boojum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mace_Windu Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 35 minutes ago, Saddam said: Now rated lower than the Star Wars Holiday Special on Rotten Tomatoes It got off to a decent start (EP's 1&2) Then in EP3 suddenly the Force turned to the Thread like you previously said, which filled the fans hearts with horror & dread, causing critics to pronounce the whole show dead. What a complete waste of money and all our time !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simple Jack Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Shardlake - Set during the English reformation, two of Thomas Cromwell's henchmen investigate the murder of a Crown agent in a remote monastery. Solid acting, well paced with good historical context. The 4 hour running time is just right; thankfully they didn't do a Netflix and ruin it by smearing it over 8 hours. Rebus - Transposes a fortysomething Rebus to the modern day . Rebus does not do a great deal of police work, preferring instead to mooch about Edinburgh looking angsty and conflicted. The drama lies with his brother, an ex- army man who decides robbing drug dealers beats the gig economy for a game of soldiers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
