  1. About that blaster
  2. Everything Everywhere All At Once for the second time on a flight. Just as epic and fun and emotional and crazy as the first time. What a great flick.
  3. Just finished ep 9 and… that was just exceptional. I can’t remember the last time any tv gave me goosebumps, much less Star Wars. And no lie, while I was watching the K2 power up scene we had a small earthquake here in north Georgia. Epic! I was terrified when it became clear that Bix wasn’t going to let herself be the reason that Andor left the rebellion. With all of her trauma I was afraid she was going to take her own life. During her message all I could see in my head was Cassian’s last moment on the beach. That is some Shakespeare level tragedy. The female characters on this show are some of the best ever put on a screen. It has been a master class on strong women. And Kleya with her hair down…rawr.
  4. In flight movie reviews: Companion. Like a 2 hour Black Mirror episode. Good fun. Supporting cast includes Gizmo from WWDITS. IYKYK. Presence. Soderbergh ghost story told from the POV of the ghost. Not spectacular but I enjoyed the vibe and the artsy approach to it.
  5. One of my favorites. It can be hard to find a good high res version of it.
  6. I’ve watched it twice myself. Wish we didn’t have to wait until 2026 for season two.
  7. It’s also another 100 lb ft of torque. It’s offered by Ford and doesn’t affect the warranty.
  8. If you were asking about the Ranger Raptor: I paid $55K for it which is about $1K below MSRP. The stock motor is 405hp but I’m going to get the tune that takes it to 455 at some point. It’s got plenty of push from the twin turbo V6 but why not have more if it’s available?
  9. You aaaaaalmost made it through a good post without being an ass.
  10. My disappointment in Disney is relevant to the topic at hand. If Disney hadn’t destroyed Star Wars then Andor might be performing better and we would have a better chance at more good prestige SW content. I don’t know why mdmost thinks that Disney doesn’t care about making money, they absolutely do, and a $300M loss is not going to be something they will be eager to do again. Andor is great. Fuck you Disney for insuring we’ll never get anything else like it.
  11. The baby Raptor is right up at the top of favorite cars I’ve owned list. I’m really digging it. It’s like a 4x4 muscle car but not as crazy expensive as the big Raptor and fits on more trails. Had some more fun last weekend.
  12. My golf cart shop said leave it plugged in all the time. And I’m pretty sure lithium ion batteries don’t have a problem staying plugged in (nicad was another story). But I’ve heard both sides so often I don’t know what’s true. My golf cart shop said leave it plugged in all the time.

  13. Garbage is garbage no matter what size screen you put it on.
  14. Sopranos was pulling in 12M viewers per episode. One of the problems now is there is too much content spread across too few viewers.
  15. Hard to get the next pricey prestige show funded when no one watched the last one. Maybe they will create some sort of reality tv show. Real Housewives of Coruscant.
  16. Unfortunately not enough people are watching, especially for a $645M show: https://www.mediaplaynews.com/samba-tv-andor-s2-disney-premiere-viewership-equals-s1-below-the-mandalorian/
  17. Finally caught up on the new episodes. Bix’s arc is remarkable. She’s gone through some real trauma: torture, sexual assault, guilt over taking a life, drug abuse, and she has emerged a stone cold killer. Unfortunately I think I know where that arc is headed.
  18. Oh yes. Barbarian was the shit.
  19. I got a chuckle out of the resistance being “French”. Down with the imperial bourgeoise! Madame lightsaber sees us all as equals! I’m pretty sure the leader is the Nazi who was beaten to death by the Bear Jew. Dedra isn’t even top 5 on my Andor fan fic list.
  20. Stellan Skarsgard might have moved into my will-watch-anything-he’s-in list.
  21. Do yellow cards carry over to the second leg?
  22. The wedding plot line was slow. The rebel spat plot line was a little dumb (rock paper scissors really?), the Bix plot line was best. These are fair assessments. I still love it and can’t wait for more (and am on the road for work, annoyingly).
