Book of Boba Fett started today. I liked the first episode, but I already know what some of the complaints are going to be.

As I've been authorized to speak for other posters as I see fit, I think his reply was really directed towards @njdevils1982 who went off the rails more then a bit. I mean, we are talking about the Beatles and the making of an iconic album. The fact that some random internet poster can't work with plates on a piano, and thus the Beatles were doing it wrong? C'mon now.

ya, that was some over exaggeration for fun… i was just astounded at how messy the place was with some many people around..
you should see amount of plates and glasses on my side table by my mixing board
……but im just one lazy ass person….maybe i'll clean that shit up today as im off until after the new year
To be fair, cinema as art is in the eye of the beholder. If a poster sees something as fantastic or subpar it's just their opinion. The MCU has plenty of big fans and some that are really enthusiastic for one reason or another. I'll take the review as comparison to other MCU movies, many of which I've enjoyed. If the new Spider Man is top of the list for that genre I expect I'll like it and at this point, with so many MCU movies out it's easy to place in context. I've been away on vacation with the family and haven't had a chance to see it yet. Hopefully tomorrow night.

No, I think you did hit on something. By 1969 the Beatles were used to having everything done for them. From Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans - and then Evans was allowed to hire his own gofer. Something tells me if Evans or Aspinall weren't asked to do it, the Beatles didn't do it themselves and it just sat there. With no Brian Epstein to watch over them a lot of stuff just didn't get looked at and something like a cleanup crew would have been easy to overlook.

Im by no means a die hard fan but the Mando and Fett (1st episode) shows are 10x better than that last trilogy for me.
We finished the two seasons of Atlanta and are looking forward to the next one. Very funny, very surreal show. Donald Glover is a comedic genius.
As much as I enjoy a Star Wars movie on the big screen, I think I'm fine without another one for a while because of what they've done with Mando, this series, and I think the Obi-Wan series is going to be good too. Plus the Andor series, which could have some potential as a spy/thriller series set in Star Wars. I think the streaming format allows them to slow things down a bit and develop stories/characters more than trying to jam it all into a ~2 hour movie.

Absolutely great show. That Teddy Perkins episode is absolutely crazy. The surrealism in the show is what makes it great imo. Season 3 releasing on March 24th, keep an eye out!!

I liked it well enough but unless there's a major upswing in production value, this feels like an inferior product to Mandalorian so far. Even the theme song feels like a dumpster dive of outtakes from the other series.
The story tried really hard to mirror the "badass" history with the flashbacks but they could have done that slowly through the show like Mando did feeding it bits and pieces at a time.

What do you think some of the complaints are going to be?
Use spoiler tags if needed please
Yes, that episode was insane. I didn't even realize who was playing the Teddy Perkins character until I looked it up afterward. Total mind screw episode, pretty much a whole horror movie condensed into 35 minutes.
The Barbershop episode right before that was excellent too. Bibby is quite the character, I hope they find a reason to feature him in an episode next season.

Lol yes, that episode was gold! Too many good episodes to note. You can look up their social media accounts, the trailer for season 3 is out! From what I understand, it’ll be set in Europe during Paperboy’s tour, which directly follows the ending of season 2. It honestly looks great!
Too short of an episode, not much really happens, the back and forth with some of the flashbacks, OMG Tatooine again?! The galaxy is too small, etc. Honestly, some of the same criticisms there were with The Mandalorian. And not all are entirely unwarranted, but I think that stuff just bothers me less than it probably used to. I think I've just had enough arguments over dumb shit with this franchise over the years.

The Devils have a culture of failure
After almost 100 hours of Breath of the Wild, I’m almost finished with all the shrine hunting. My next game will be Age of Calamity, Dark Souls, or Skyrim. Games have been good to me recently.

Can't judge the Boba Fett show yet, sort of neutral on that first episode. Some brutal dialog / delivery but some good moments. In general, halfway through last season of Mando, I accepted that I'm basically watching a Star Wars Hercules / Xena. The balance of the first few episodes in season one gave way to easy, kind of silly entertainment. Nothing wrong with that but, unlike the animated shows, seems like they have a tough time nailing something that's both fun and meaningful. My guess is that they're going the MCU route and each show will tie into the other ones.

i want them to do a spin-off show for the Sand people. 100% no subtitles, 10 episode season. Do in Disney, I dare ya.
That's an interesting comparison for the Mandalorian, and I think it kind of works. But I usually think of it more like if they made Firefly/Serenity in the Star Wars universe and Jayne was the main character.

Halo Infinite gets two thumbs up from me. I've been waiting 15 years for a mainline Halo game to deliver and this one was finally worth it. It's not perfect, I wish the story was longer and the open world a little bigger, but the gameplay is phenomenal and the story is good enough. Multiplayer is fun when I can actually connect to a match.
As a Halo Wars 2 fan I'm excited to see the Banished get their full glory. Funny how a niche RTS spinoff no one played basically saved one of the biggest franchises in gaming history from certain death.

Station Eleven. Stumbled on it by accident. Never heard of it. It's awesome 3 episodes in. VERY character driven and jumps all over the place with time shifting from modern day to future to backstories but damn it drips with some heavy heavy character development and none of it feels padded.
Quick synopsis: mega flu hits in 2021 (hmmmm sounds familiar) and the world ends mostly.

I've watched the first 5 episodes, I like it but I'm not in love with it. More curious to see where it all goes.

It feels very original in how it's edited/shot to me
and the 3 second snippet of the dude standing up in a space station in the suit early on has me friggin' perplexed how the book is real??? Is it a dream or I'm thinking that one gal truly has premonition of some sort and she's seen the future???

I had posted a few posts back about the show but apparently this is based on a 2014 book. I'm curious to see how different it is so might give it a read one day. Wanna see how more of the show plays out first.
I'd also put a spoiler tag around the rest of your post cause that did surprise me as well and was something I didn't expect considering the original description of the show...
It definitely seems that way from that episode but I'm still not sure and hard to talk about until you watch the next two episodes. Definitely seems like she had visions of the future and put it down into the graphic novel. It has to be either that or what she drew was coming true. My biggest complaint is that whole young Kristen is a character I want to root for the adult Kristen I find extremely annoying and unlikable. I'm going to watch episodes 6 and 7 today.
