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.

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:

    • Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation. 
    • But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.   
    • And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.
    • Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response
    • It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious 
    • Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole
    • You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.    
    • I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows  
    • Not typical a sport news, but worth to mention. Konrad Bukowiecki and Natalia Kaczmarek did married today. From now officialy Natalia will change her surname to Bukowiecka, she will not follow her team mates and will not have double surname     
    • Hurricane helene is coming , let's hide behind Nitraria  Only smart one will understand what i mean
