One last change to the topic title to fittingly bring it back to what I opened it with, but now someone please start a new one because I don't want to keep doing this forever.

Part of the reason is you guys grew up on the OG as kids whose light hearted tone was easier to swallow as children but as cynical adults your preference has naturally drifted to darker stuff. Nothing wrong with that but please stop trying to change the core of SW for the kids of this generation so they can enjoy the same thing you guys did in the 70s and I did in the early 2000s.
No-one has said that joyful Star War stories should stop. The only one trying to stop anyone enjoying anything here is you.

Infell asleep at some point during thr battle. I may fast forward to roughly where Inthink I got to and finish it.
May.
Space Sweepers is on Netflix and while I haven't got round to it yet myself I'm 99% positive it'll be more worth your time if you want a big actiony SF kick.
They've got a J-Lo vehicle coming next month and I'm reasonably certain that will also be more worth your time if you want a big actiony SF kick

I'd suggest that the Kithamar description is a version of the 'gods are created by belief' setup we've seen a few times down the years- Discworld and Sandman both use it, and there's a few others. The approach here is less direct than typical, and seemingly not the focus of the story, but it's something a bit different than the Andat, where belief doesn't have much to do with it (except maybe specifically the belief of the Poet).

Spending 10 minutes on a slo-mo scene about wheat harvesting instead of some meaningful character development. Snyder should not be given full reigns on a movie again.
What do you need character development for when there's literally a roundtable scene where the characters all lay out their tragic backstories and motivations?
It's the most on-the-nose writing I've ever seen. Fucking hilarious.

Tuchel is a poisonous arse who I wouldn't want anywhere near my club.
I would, however, take Dyche at the moment. -

Maybe not blame Luton, though. The poorest club in the PL isn't likely to be the one bribing VAR.
I'm not only blaming Luton for the VAR, but for Everton and Forest's points deductions. And for Andrew Tate.

We did not deserve that at all. The title stays.

We're getting down to sqeaky-bum time now: who will have possession of the topic title when it closes.

Casemiro at CB lol

Obviously the actual best show on television is Taskmaster, but I know we're talking about narrative shows really.

It's entirely possible that Al-Nassr got in touch and that's why he agreed to go without any legal fuss (we didn't have to pay him as far as I know), but we were looking to fire him for the Piers Morgan interview and then announced a termination by mutual consent.

I actually don't watch enough TV to have a full-on tier list or anything.
But I can say my favourite 3 individual seasons (not counting limited series, because Band of Brothers is obviously thereabouts too) are Deadwood season 2, The Wire season 3, and Hannibal season 2. Hannibal of course is the one where that season is much better than the other two (though they're still quality). -

United managed to get rid off C. Ronaldo
We terminated Ronaldo's contract, we didn't sell him to Al-Nassr.

This fight should really not be going ahead.

Watched Rebel Moon Part 2, and it's very annoying, because there's actually a few good ideas and thoughts in there, but it's so amateurishly written and structured that they mostly get lost.
SpoilerThe fight on the falling ship, for one, is way better executed than the somewhat similar scene in Black Widow. And honestly the whole battle plan for the village actually made some kind of sense- I was wondering how Snyder was possibly going to make one village and six warriors taking on a whole battleship plausible, but it was actually well thought out.
Unfortunately much of it is visually barely coherent- which is actually unusual for Snyder.
I also appreciated that he didn't do the thing where defeating the main baddie is all you need to do and the army falls over or vanishes- they needed the rebels to come in and clean up. Unfortunately that was undercut by them coming completely out of nowhere and not being set up at all within this movie.
Past that it was mostly just an unmemorable, clunky mess.
