Heading that way in June to stay at a cousin's place while he's out of town. What's the food scene like in the area?

This looks pretty good. Anyone checked it out yet?

Rogue One: The Andor Cut

Posted by TIGERSTORM on 5/10/26 at 8:28 am
A fan made edit of Rogue One if it was made as the conclusion of Andor. I'm kind of interested in this and have been thinking of doing an Andor rewatch.



It comes out on the 25th.

I watched the first two episodes and I liked it but it felt like something was missing. I'm not sure if I needed him to be like 10% more likeable or if it was the supporting cast.

I did just read the first RJ Decker novel last week so I'll probably pick the show back up soon.

re: The Godfather

I read The Godfather in HS and the movie is much better. By books do you mean the Mark Winegardner books? If so I read those 3 or 4 years ago. They are authorized by the Puzo estate, it attempts to fill in gaps and flesh out some things from the movies. They aren't terrible but I'm not sure I would ever read them again.
He's obviously right. The people that come on here and cry about new Star wars were cool with ewoks cause they saw that when they were kids. I love the original trilogy, I think Andor is the best thing that they have ever done (outside of the books) because I'm an adult and that's an adult show. I didn't care about the prequels or the last 3 movies but I have young kids and they enjoyed them so I enjoyed them with them (Rise of Skywalker is still complete shite).

My 7 year old is already excited for Mando and Grogu. I know it's not going to be good but we will go to the theater and eat popcorn and he will think it's awesome.

re: No Other Choice added to Hulu

Hell yeah. Went to theater to see it twice. I have the directors cut preordered but will watch it again on Hulu.
I didn't see these mentioned so I'll add them.

Bojack Horseman episode That's Too Much, Man!

NewsRadio episode Bill Moves On the first episode after Phil Hartmans death.

I was today years old when I realized that I guess a bunch of people just start watching shows from the final season instead of the beginning.

I am genuinely curious, why wouldn't you start from the beginning? You're the third person in this thread that has done that and it's kind of blowing my mind



I haven't done this for other shows. But the reason I've never watched Euphoria is I was never drawn to a show about fricked up highschool kids. Right or wrong (and despite emmy wins or nominations) I've never thought of if as a great show I needed to see. Going into the last season with a time jump and changing of character lives from HS to post highschool and it only being 6 episodes felt like it would be easy enough to jump in and watch. Plus it will be the in cultural show at the moment.

think this is what I plan to do


I wouldn't recommend it for every show or season but I think it works for this for a couple of reasons.

It was a show set in highschool that is now catching up with the characters out of school and the time jump. The show is catching regular viewers up so as a new viewer it worked.
I'm back. I've only ever watched this episode and i thought it was pretty entertaining. The previously on and flashbacks/narration told me who everyone was. I think there were only 2 people that I assumed I was supposed to know and just rolled with it.
quote:

You should start the entire series and eventually catch up as to why Zendaya is a drug mule in the first place .


I can’t imagine ever dropping into a show 3 seasons in with no idea of what’s happening or who is who



On one hand you are right, but the truth is I'm never going to watch Euphoria unless something from this season grabs me and makes me want to see the earlier seasons. I am going to play this season as I need to figure out their backstories and I can go to the Internet or friends if I need to know something later.

I've never been interested in Euphoria and I don't think of it as one of the great shows like The Wire or The Sopranos that I will be lost if I jump in on a later season. I think from just living in culture and hearing people talk about the show for the last several years I can keep up and if I can't I'll bail.
I've never seen a second of Euphoria but I might jump in to this season blind. Zendaya as a drug mule and Sweeny as an OF creator seems like it might be enough for me to tap in.

Thanks, I've been wanting to check this out.
C. J. Box has had 2 TV series based on his books.

There was a Mark Harmon tv movie (I think) based on John Sanford's Prey books. Per Google there was also an Eriq LaSalle one but I've never seen either. I just learned about the Harmon one a few weeks ago, it must be streaming somewhere, I remember reading the plot and realizing it was a Lucas Davenport movie.

I read some of the Prey books a long time ago and have thought about just jumping back into them.

Felt like a Korean Zodiac



I described it as "Zodiac with dropkicks. 5 stars" in my Letterboxd review a few years ago. Time for a rewatch I think.

I thought Mother! was great and really liked Okja too. But I also liked Mickey 17 (and the books it's based on) so I might just be in the tank for everything Bong does.

There are a few 30 Rock episodes that are gone I believe. I think they are all race related.

Posted by TIGERSTORM on 3/22/26 at 8:48 am to
It's on Britbox but I'm now sure if it's censored or not. I watched it on DVD years ago. If you tell me where it's censored I can watch that scene and let you know.
8 episode season dropped today. This is based on Patricia Cornwell's series of books. There are 29 books in the series. I'm not seeing much buzz about this show, seems kinda strange. Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Canavale, Ariana DeBose star.

Anyone interested in this one?
