Great. Now I have to watch “The Witcher” since critics killed it, and the gamers loved it. I’ve played a little bit of Witcher 3, but I’ll be going in essentially blind.

Oh how I hate when people say that animated movies are meant for kids only and that as soon as you reach a certain age you can't watch them anymore... there's no rule saying that, you can watch whatev

That's a good thing, current events shouldn't lead to episodes being removed. Finally a positive note about Community

What a decade :wub:. I’ve seen 70% of the films in this montage. There’s a few notable exceptions that I hopefully get the time to watch soon.

Seeing the new Star Wars in two hours time. I’m really worried that I’m going to hate it. I write a full review later tonight, I’ll put it all under spoilers, so that I don’t completely ruin the movie for anyone.

Obviously since the original is Polish I watched the original series from 2001 back in the day and man, that sucked ass big time. Polish cinema has never made fantasy movies (it still doesn't) and it showed. Rubber dragons & foam rocks, man that was hilariously bad. Now some of our critics claim it's not that bad but almost 20 years have passed so it's a bit of nostalgia amid the Netflix version.

 

The original actress who played the Yennefer part was 42 years old then, Netflix has cast a girl aged 23 but yeah, it's America and they target the youngsters with this series?

It wasn’t terrible, it didn’t suck. It gave a acceptable ending to the trilogy. The special effects should win an Oscar. Overall 8/10. There’s your spoiler free review courtesy of Olympian1010.

The trilogy ended in 1983 IMO. The rest is just milking money from the original success. No wonder all the prequels & sequels usually suck so badly. The special effects are lipstick on a pig. What are the odds in 15-20 years time we'll have a Star Wars reboot again? It's basically unavoidable given how Hollywood has run out of fresh ideas lately.

Hey, Rambo 5 is in the works too, right? It's not about the Star Wars, it's a general flaw of the movie industry. They're selling three day old fish as the new fish soup. Woeful. Imagine what kind of trash they will revive in the next 20 years :rolleyes:

But they only called it a trilogy for the 3 movies ;)

The prequels and sequels were trilogies of their own ;)

Meanwhile it should be the ending of the Skywalker Saga

Not a chance IMO. The next generation will be fed the same trick. The Predator, Alien or Friday 13th sagas keep showing up years after years too just to name the obvious ones from the top of my head :roflmao:

      Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything

      Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on

      The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.

      Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
