They are using YT shorts. The next video auto populates with something the algorithm thinks you’ll watch for 15 seconds and it’s usually correct. Its like a slot machine. Quick and easy entertainment that people can lose hours in

Childreen skeletons are so much scarier too

I was secretly hoping they’d do a Trek style timeline reboot so the Sequels will never happen.

Either way, Star Wars IP needs a fresh slate rather than dreging up old characters and shoving them onto a western style setting. There is literally a whole universe to explore.

I wanted to like this show way more than I did. But it just didn’t scratch the itch. The main characters seemed a bit lost, like we needed more streamlining to their story to have a satisfying arc. I like the main actresses in other stuff but I don’t think they were right to play these people.

Honestly it seems like the biggest problem is that any story they make up for this time period is kneecapped by having it all end with the Sequels.a story about rebuilding the republic in the shadow of the Empire would be epic and a perfect use of these characters. But knowing it all goes boom and cloned snokes and emperors are soaking in a vat like sea monkies makes it all a bit meh.

Overall meh, I’ll tune in next year and see what happens. I just think it could be better.

You are correct, unlike my autocorrect which decided it didn’t like the word ‘post’. Edited

Not just Mercury’s story. All those times the movie had Mercury spiraling into sex and drugs and the movie versions of May and the rest of the group were cuddling with their wives and girlfriends. You know, the way they were famous for doing.

Started this because I didn’t see it in theatres and can’t find the og discussion thread.

I finally watched Barbie after a full year of heavy PR campaigns to see the best movie of the year that was saving theatres and driving studios to go back to original IP for film ideas. And after all that my reaction is a solid…meh.

It was fine. I felt other movies have done the same themes but better and more cohesively. And I’m not sure what the final message of the movie even was. It felt like there was some boardroom interference in the final product because you could see the story aiming at something, then changing course before they got to a satisfying conclusion.

Acting and set design was good, it just overall felt like a miss that was made bigger by the giant campaign they launched to sell the movie as great.

I trained mine to allow that. It’s one of those basic dog ownership things everyone with a dog should work on. Food aggression is bad enough but some day you might need to get something out of your dogs mouth and you don’t want to have to worry about getting bitten.

There isn’t one, this is the best place for it for now. But if someone wanted to start a new community for stand up posts I’d join

If there was a sub for this kind of standup comedy post id subscribe

RADIOACTIVE MAN!

This behaviour isn’t because he’s famous it’s because he’s incredibly wealthy and no one has ever told him no.

DDG is my go-to, it’s normally good enough. Google used to be better at showing searches so I’d still go check out then if I couldn’t find something.

But since their ad strategy changed to favour paid suppliers and their servers are getting switched to handle heavier computing, Google is starting to suck now. So honestly its probable that you’ll need to work harder to find what you’re looking for regardless of which engine you use.

We have had this same type of decision so many times in our history. Fossil fuels, antibiotics, plastics, AI. And we always have to learn too late that there were big, avoidable mistakes.

Might be better to just accept that and adapt to the fact that we are just horrible at making this type of choice.

How do you use Plex? Can it work on a fire stick?

Remember when lightsabers killed people?

My problems with the fight scene is that in her other shows Ahsoka was much more acrobatic in her fights. She relied on a lot of movement that’s easier to animate than act out.

That’s something I just have to get over, but i miss OG Ahsoka

They absolutely would be profitable, it’s just that those costs would then be passed on to the consumer. People would see energy costs skyrocket to make up the difference.

The oil companies still have a product most of the world needs and people will (and have) killed to get it. We’d rebel against a government they tried

In order to get passed oil we need to move to alternatives like EVs.

Sure he did, he talked about shooting womprats like it was no problem but everyone else thought that kind of shot was impossible even for a computer.

Not everyone is enjoying the show. I think after Disney has pumped out so many subpar marvel and Star Wars stuff people are a lot less forgiving than they used to be. But that may be for the best
