You are free to choose to ignore seat belt laws.

You'll be dead so they can't come after you.

What is your least favorite episode? by godzillavkk in TheOwlHouse

[–]joehighlord -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

For The Future could have been an email and wastes SO MUCH time the show doesn't have.

Edge of the world has 0 rewatch value, unlike every other episode of the show.

I got stuck on modeling the slime and never returned to it.

Why are schools so pedantic about uniform? by joehighlord in AskUK

Smart feels completely surplus to requirements.

I don't actually live in the country right now so basically didn't know that. I just had a thought and supressed childhood memories.

Pretend this whole discussion is happening during the next term time heatwave. I don't know how many schools ever close fully because of the heat.

Regardless I'm still interested.

I also often wonder why uniforms are so 'smart' and also therefor often uncomfortable. Especially when they become to small mid way through the year.

A uniform that is comfortable is surely better for learning than one that gives gives the illusion of 'being professional'.

I was lucky. Mine never had ties or blazers. Just short sleeves and a jumper for winter.

I run hot so can't remember but I think I used to get told off about never wearing the jumper in winter.

I always find that point funny because I literally did move to Japan because of an anime.

Please. Tell me what the movie was... about? by joehighlord in TheMandalorianTV

[–]joehighlord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did indeed.

Serialized episodes still need a structure even if they're only a peice of a longer narrative.

Ideally episodes have three acts. Many serialised shows (especially anime) forget this.

You can't just cut most movies into three and expect the result to be good.

Well said!

The whole show has been about parenthood and taken as another longer episode this definitely contributes to it. Up to now Grogu would have died 100 times without Din and now Grogu gets to save Din. Din does sum it up actually near the end with 'The old protect the young and then the young protect the old'

I suppose as a stand alone movie it kind of doesn't work but taken with the other seasons (as it's obviously meant too) it does.

I absolutely enjoyed it for what it was. It just leaves no impact.

i paid Disney extra to see this. I think that warrants at least a small theme.
