I like how the actor who played Bobba Fett also got fat. I cracked up when I first saw him wearing the armor.

Has anyone said "Bobba Fatt" yet?

there's a really good movie in the hobbit trilogy. i liked the first one a lot. the second one was mostly good. the third one was not very good.

the second one was definitely worse, and the third was oh-my-god-why-is-it-still-going-jesus

I hated the first but honestly I didn't really like the LOTR movies either.

Peter Jackson's King Kong was a million times worse though.

it is explicitly explained in the tales of the bounty hunters anthology that the sarlacc, which is sentient, absorbs you into its intestinal wall and merges your circulatory and nervous systems with its own. this allows it to keep you alive for hundreds of years, throughout which it communicates with you. you are not strictly digested, as the sarlacc considers conscious beings too valuable to simply consume as food. instead you are gradually absorbed into the sarlacc's consciousness, joining thousands of other minds from eons ago.

oh man i remember all of em

ig-88 takes over a droid factory and makes many copies of himself and gets installed into the death star computer core, then exploded

zuckuss and 4-LOM just hang out and do nothing and talk to each other; zuckuss is probably force sensitive and the droid doesn't understand it; eventually they join the rebellion because zuckuss needs a healthcare plan

bossk is only hunting han solo because he eats wookiees and wants to eat the most famous wookiee in the galaxy, but he gets foiled by a different wookiee and his plucky human ladyfriend

dengar is a big loser who keeps getting owned by everyone, culminating with boba fett tying him up and leaving him in the desert, but he is also force sensitive and contacts his girlfriend like luke calling leia and she saves him

there were a number of good bits in it, and there was a lot of tedious stretching the plot because clearly they couldn't do too much in the first movie. it felt like it could have been a good movie though

despite the fact that it was made for a shoestring budget for cbs tv, and is only 72 minutes long, it manages to do everything right that the jackson trilogy did wrong

in that 72 minutes they manage to fit in the whole plot of the book (except for beorn) and even find time for a bunch of 70s folk music interludes

a lot of the work was farmed out to the japanese animation studio topcraft - many employees of which would go on to found studio ghibli after topcraft went bankrupt

all the story beats in the hobbit are off because it was designed for 2 movies and then stretched into 3 so they had to make it work somehow

My hobbit story is from when one of my wife's office mates in grad school invited us over to watch the first to prep for release of the second, and as a LotR fan it sounded like a good time, and I fell asleep on her couch for most of it. I just remember being in and out of sleep for the action scenes that ran way too long and lacked any dramatic weight. Never gonna watch the rest based on that experience.

the problem with the hobbit is too many dwarves. 5 or 6 of them literally don't do anything. the one with the axe in his head, what does he add to the story? do you even remember his name?

shit wizard dad

lol there's a Jemsin book on the Kindle cheap deal today

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07T4SW594

Lets take a look at the low-score reviews

quote:

Broadly to be a good character in this novel you must be more than one of: LGBTQ++; ethnic minority; female; foreign; left-wing. In general the following are bad or very bad: NYPD and other authority figures; white people; men; people or boroughs voting Republican (adios Staten Island!);

...

But it's basically a racist rant. Every villain is white, and worse if male. There's no character development beyond pure identity politics, on every drat page.

...

Every single non-white character is cool, every single white character is racist, narrow-minded, prejudiced and even outright evil. The monster is white (this is repeated so many times that it almost gets nailed to your brain). The only borough that sides with the monster (and whose avatar is all of the above plus feeble-minded) is… well, white again.

Exceedingly mad.

lol all the movie user reviews for new things on the internet is the same way, complaining about making "diversity-driven" movies and shoving the 2slgbtq+ communities or PoC in your face instead of just putting them in movies you wouldn't watch
