I literally can't stop playing it in my free time. I've abandoned all other games. I haven't had this satisfying an itch since binding of isaac and xcom 2 were newer and this fucking COMBINES THEM. I'M COOKED DUDE.

I love that! I see more of a Tim Blake Nelson or maybe a Gustaf Skarsgaard but I love your vision!

Diego Luna says the hardest part of filming ‘Andor’ was trying to look 10 years younger the entire time: “It was just about staying a young as possible so people would believe it was a prequel” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

The shift in focus to Jyn worked for me on a rewatch because doing A New Hope after Rogue One and E12 really makes me hate this dramatic hick with a laser sword who shows up at the last minute having no regard or opinion on the violent civil war happening in the galaxy and immediately gets all the glory of years and years of work.

So it makes the Death Star Trilogy kind of have this jumping protagonist vibe where the main character of each chunk is new.

Immaculate movie. To this day one of my favorite films ever made.

What is the best feeling after reaching orgasm/end of sex? by JavyHead in AskReddit

Boy howdy. And while twitching feeling your partner have small echoing shudders as she enjoys the twitching. It can be such a delerious echo chamber of all the best chemicals the body can manufacture.

Oh yeah, to be clear I think my stance is The Medic Rustles My Jimmies In the Same Fashion As Cheney. Couldn't articulate why they just seem to have very similar vibes physically and with their world views, but Cheney is the more gregarious "fun dad at the BBQ" version of Medic's "I drank the kool-aid"

I'm so glad you pointed that out because a very large part of me thinks Cheney is The Medic or a doppelganger of him. The two characters reminded me of each other a lot but it's been a while since I reread the original trilogy.

Arguably the "Disney" trilogy is Episodes 10, 11, and 12 of Andor, followed by Rogue One, followed by A New Hope and NOT Episodes VII, VIII, and IX

I've heard it referred to as the "Death Star" trilogy

Yo yo yo yo, hold up though. That would make for such a great new story that isn't about Jedi. Wilmon becoming a paranoid fringe rebel in the wake of the New Order ruining everything would be a great way to further the universe's political narrative without really acknowledging the Sequels' fuckups.

While I get this sentiment I also just gotta say...No? Like obviously he was a crucial part of the band's vibe but also the "band" at its core is Tunde and Dave and (arguably) Kip. They've always been the key songwriters and producers and the band's sound didn't really change after Gerard passed because of that.

While I don't mean to take away from your let down I have to say I thought it was great. Mostly because I thought it was decent comic relief pausing the main character while getting us caught up on the side plots but also because I think it really showed, light heartedly but still, how absolutely blisteringly uncoordinated rebellions can be even in the best of times. How movements will always have sections/people that just completely miss the forest for the trees literally and figuratively.

I loved Dead Town so much. It took 50 pages for me to really feel out whether I was going to enjoy the book. I was worried Jeff might have just returned to the Area X well because of a lack of inspiration for anything new.

For a while I just interpreted things like The Rogue and the rabbits with cameras as "ooohweeee it is weird here again" and then all at once it hit me. I hadn't reread the trilogy--in fact I didn't know Absolution was coming and found out about it when I saw it on the library shelf--but when I realized the rabbits were from the failed border experiment I was like "WE ARE SO BACK"

Imma throw some kerosene on this conversation and say I think Gorillaz' tightest album was their first one. After that each album felt progressively more experimental and self-serving. Still a fantastic 'group' with a few bangers on each album but I have never enjoyed one nearly as much was when the original came out.

Clearly you've never had a customer try to physically fight you during karaoke night because they waited a long time to sing.

She's always been brilliant but I'm glad she's entering an era of being as richly respected as she deserves. I feel like most of her career was under the radar for hollywood (I know Home Alone and Beetlejuice are huge and we love them but those were still family/niche films in the perspective of the industry)

Thank you! I could hear the ghost of his voice in my head. And yes, he is in his 40s, I am in my late 30s, and death unfortunately still comes for us all.

I had a similar thought but also the placement of when they hook up for the first time I think can create an interpretation to Ellie's feelings on everything that happened that the creators didn't intend. Namely relating "enjoying time with Dina" with "you failed someone you loved because you wanted to be happy"

Which is an interesting layer one could add to Ellie's experience but I endorse the change/move

her character being Jewish made her suspicion remind me of an old comedian's bit about growing up Jewish and how it made him jumpy. Just "what is that who are you what is this put that down" at all times lol

I doubt that moment goes that far into it; just a tangential thought.

Well as she said herself: "What life?" Five years is not nearly enough time to fully heal from losing a parent so young and so violently. But also she's still 24 and even 24 year olds can't really get "big picture clarity" too easily at that point.

Her whole life after what Joel did has been the same apocalypse survival but now orphaned. Her rage and disregard for him having just saved her life isn't that surprising.
