My hopes for the new trilogy dipped as soon as Han Solo was killed, but TLJ managed to go beyond even my wildest imaginations. After that, I didn't think anything else would have been able to salvage this new trilogy, and you know what, the Rise of Skywalker certainly did not disappoint in that department.

So... much... cringe...

The Mandalorian is very good, though. Note that its run by David Filoni (of Clone Wars TV fame) and Jon Favreau, without involvement of Kathleen Kennedy.

Yeah, I am going to catch up on the Baby Yoda Show, eventually...

On the other hand, I watched Superman: Red Son. Surprisingly entertaining. Though Lex Luthor as the semi-good guy in this movie is... a bit unsettling...

Oh, and their Russian accents are atrocious.

Vat, Komrade?

Watching The Mandalorian restored my faith that Star Wars can still be good, which was deeply shaken after these two last disasters in the movie theaters.

Which reminds me, I should get Disney+, it starts in four days in Germany. It' so cheap that it really doesn't impinge on my bank account too much. Netflix really is getting scooped in terms of price by Amazon Prime and Disney+, I can tell you.

So recent movies...

Sonic, surprisingly entertaining.

Birds of Prey, mediocre. So mediocre I can't even criticize it.

Didn't see Sonic, because we watch one movie per week.

Birds of Prey was actively shit, I fucking hated that movie.

Due to recent events all new movies have been cancelled for the foreseeable future. <sigh>

I didn't even get to watch Bloodshot, though I suspect it was mediocre. Eh, no matter, it will probably be on some streaming service soon.

Bloodshot is serviceable.

I mean, Vin Disel has the personality of wood, and in this movie, he is pretty much Arnold Schwarzenegger of the new age with considerably less charm.

Eh, that's all.

Also, Suicide Squad is vastly superior, even if I find some character choices to be... questionable...

Eh, I quite like his grumbly, mumbly self.

Yes. That is about what I imagine Swiss police to be like.

I cracked up when they actually handed the STs a parking ticket. That was golden.

"Where's my shuttle?" I imagine the following conversation was quite, uh, interesting. ^^

I miss the 80s...

The more I get older, the more I miss my childhood of the 80s and 90s.
Shows back then were about having fun. Good vs evil and in many ways live action cartoons.

I found what are possibly the most perfect musical covers for some of these shows.

The tone accuracy is good enough to fool Google and Shazam!

Yep, shows from the 80s (not a fan of the 90s, sorry) could be easily enjoyed by just about everyone in all age groups. These days, you can't make a show without bullshit.

I muss Airwolf. I must say that DL'ing the A-Team some years and watching it, it doesn't hold nearly as well as I remembered it, though.

I pity da foo' who doesn't remember the A-Team!

Oh, love to remember it. The actual show got a bit repetitive after a few episodes. ^^
