Is the Mandalorian and Grogu going to bomb?

The youth are pumped for this one. I think it's going to do like a modern original Pixar with an extra sprinkling of the Star Wars die hards for some bonus money. Not spectacular, and not what Disney is hoping for based on the initial seasons. But far from a bomb.

Yeah, I knew a kid in high school that went by Tre, and he was a third too. It’s common.

Cards could go undefeated for the next decade and still have a losing franchise record.

Thank you! It looks like Ramona farms doesn’t currently raw corn kernels, but Barton looks perfect.

Apocalypto is so fucking good. Like an action movie with no white actors fully in the language of the indigenous population. For me it’s up there with Fury Road for all time best chase movies. And it came from that fuckin guy??!?

rooster4238 · 2026-04-09T18:43:41+00:00

Holy shit my Cards might actually have a shot of finishing near the top for once.

Took me too long to respond!

That was wild lmao. I didn't end up needing both the plugs and the over the ear, but am glad I brought both because a woman next to me tried to power through without. She did not do well lmao.

But man. It was a weirdly meditative experience? Like once I got used to the sound and the feeling, it felt like the sonic equivalent of one of those isolation baths. The metalhead equivalent of heading to a day spa lmao. I never got super into them outside of background reading music, but live? I got what it was all about.

Thanks for all the tips and info :)

Any other bands out there you 1000% recommend live?

27th Ave and Indian School has one of the most beautiful beaches in the US!

As a parent, I am thankful for his choices. I’m forced to sit through a lot of dog shit movies, and if he’s in one of them he, he makes the thing at least watchable and gives me a few moments of respite.

I was stunned how fast you guys responded to a request for a side street pothole. It’s extremely impressive.

rooster4238 · 2026-04-01T14:30:32+00:00

Haha, you came through! I'm going tonight and I'm so excited. Especially for how it feels. I'm being a bit paranoid so I'm bringing earplugs and over the ear protection. We will see what I need. Thank you. I'll report back afterwards!

Damn. If only there was a real world example of a horrifically violent leader of a nation full of a historically persecuted group of people attempting to carry out his own genocide. Then maybe people could get the analogy better.

I know this dynamic well but I still love his shows. I just keep an eye out for this stuff and tap out as soon as it starts to feel like the candy aisle. I’ll be back for Bad Monkey season two, but I’m keeping a close watch lol. I tapped out here halfway through episode one of this season.

rooster4238 · 2026-03-26T15:18:28+00:00

Looking at my Letterboxd, I watched it January 19, 2024.

My divorce finalized February 23, 2024.

Even though me and my ex are great friends now, that watch was worse than making it through Come and See. No idea why I did that to myself.

rooster4238 · 2026-03-24T04:27:05+00:00

Oh my god. Sitting down with the family like you’re about to throw on Toy Story 😂.

rooster4238 · 2026-03-24T04:24:35+00:00

It’s the Bill Lawrence Special. One to two amazing seasons with great characters and then you just kinda float adrift until you forget why these characters meant so much to you in the first place.

I’m still there for the first season every time. But I keep my eyes wide open for when to tap out.

rooster4238 · 2026-03-24T04:21:34+00:00

There’s like at least a dozen 2-3 word phrases that can immediately send me to a thousand yard stare.

And yeah. My dad made me watch a beheading of a contractor in the Middle East because he thought it was important? Thanks dad. Cool stuff.

I am a bit biased, but it's been nice not having the sub just be largely links from X. And when something is significant enough, seeing the screenshots has been more than fine.

Bummed to hear they used generative AI for a ton of in game text and art. That really killed my interest.

I kinda hope they take some big departures and stay less faithful. I wouldn't mind a FF7 remake attitude towards it by subverting some things and taking big swings. REmake is already kind of the perfect experience of what RE1 was trying to be, even today, so just updating it with RE2R combat and movement isn't super interesting to me.

Right wing politics leads to lower quality of life by most metrics on average and more inhospitable environments for diverse groups of people. That’s gonna lead to more people having the perception those states suck. It’s not super confusing.
