Valheim is an addictive game. Fighting and exploring is bad enough but then you start building and it's like crackpipe level addictive. Just 2 more hours to finish my lodge... lol.

Such a phenomenal film, for about a dozen reasons.
Forget Boba Fett, Fennec Shand is like 10 times more of a badass than Boba ever was on screen. They should have given her a series instead.

The Devils have a culture of failure
It was fabulous. And the week before I watched Requiem for a Dream, also directed by Aronofsky. Very harrowing watch but also very good. Also, I'm a sucker for movies that take place in a particular NYC neighborhood at a certain point in time.

Had some time off this week so I've been vegging out. Lot of work to start the year. I caught up to Boba Fett. It's not very good, the gang stuff is awkward but whatever. I have low expectations. I agree that soccer coach Boba Fett is not exactly a great character arc. I know a few of you mentioned not liking "dark and gritty" but I think most of these franchise movies have swung way too much the other way these days.
Caught up to Attack on Titan. Enjoying it but I don't see how it's going to end in a satisfying way. Also watched another anime Blue Period, which I appreciated a lot. I mean, it's very corny, I'm guessing the manga is better, but the messaging re: art and sticking with things is really valid and pretty inspiring. There's a lot of truth in it, to me.
I've accepted most stuff is not going to hit, even if the premise is great. Was surprised to see Squid Game connect worldwide - I really liked it and hope there's more stuff like that coming.
Any of you ever read Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu? Finished the last two off this week - this is a sci-fi classic on par with all the greats. Really f***ing good.
When Fett was heading towards the mod-shop, I was thinking, "Wow, that bassline sounds like a really good Thundercat / Flying Lotus ripoff." And sure enough as soon as I saw those yellow dreads, I knew who it was as the surgeon, haha. Kind of a bizarre cameo but made me chuckle. Love that dude.

I gotta get back it into it, had a lot of fun in it before. I remember I was playing it when it was announced Nico was the next captain lol.
Plus I think I'm finally done with New World for now. Just isn't that fun right now.

If you've ever hooked up with a dancer after a rave, dj'd in front of a few people on ketamine in a dirty ass Brooklyn apartment in the 90's, or run from Giuliani's innumerable task squads, these films might resonate with you just a bit more.
Not saying you're that guy, not saying I am, just saying.
The wealth, power, and mental health dynamics in each film are portrayed so brilliantly.

I don’t know what the Three Body Problem series is but I was thinking Halo the whole time.

The half season of Ozark that was just released is absolutely phenomenal. Cannot wait for the rest of their final season. Just superb in every way.

1 episode in and man I missed this show (I’m gonna miss it more when it’s gone but I think they are leaving at a good time).

Wait until the final episode of this first segment of episodes... mind blowing
By far the best episode of the series. I wonder why.
Yeah it is kind of funny that in a show with Boba Fett in the title he's like the third best character in the show behind Fennec and Dinn. And he might be like 5th in terms of being a badass behind those two, Krssantan, and the female Tusken warrior.

I whole-heartedly agree. It sets up the next half season as a barnburner for sure.
We've liked Ozark so far, and I'm looking forward to eventually getting to watch this season. It's still hard for us to watch anything longer than 30 minutes though.
I've always really liked the dynamic of "Michael Bluth if he worked for a drug cartel" that Jason Bateman brings to the role.

I meant specifically to the show but yes, another one of my favorites although this season wasn't as good as the previous three.

What is this show lol, I actually like it a lot more without him.Another great episode of The Mandalorian...I mean Book of Boba Fett.
Honestly, I've loved the last two episodes so much I don't really care anymore if the show was titled "Wizard! The Adventures of Kitster." Plus it does take care of some of the setup for the next season of The Mandalorian so we can go right into that without as much setup (I know people love to complain about "slow" or "filler" episodes these days). After the sequels I will take every enjoyable moment of Star Wars on the big or small screen i can.
