WhiteWulfe Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Finally watched Avengers: Endgame... What else was I supposed to do while letting my index finger on my offhand heal? ... It was okay, had ups and downs, but a decent amount of good. I can definitely see why a lot commented they would have to process what happened in it... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unit04 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 After finishing season 2 of The Mandalorian, the final season of the Clone Wars series and Star Wars Rebels, I decided to go back and watch the prequel movies. The Phantom Menace is so bad. The poor child actor just was not good, though he wasn't the only one. I really wish they found him at an older age for several reasons. I did enjoy parts of it though, particularly the villain's plot and machinations. Attack of the Clones is better, but not good. The pacing is off and, once again, there is a lot of bad acting to go around. I honestly didn't get Count Dooku's plot until this viewing. I always wondered why he kicked off the clone production then denied it ever happened. I finally get that he didn't want to win, he just wanted a war. The Clone Wars (the animated movie) is the best so far. It has a pretty brutal war setting for Star Wars, at least to start and Asajj Ventress is a great character that I'm glad to see got some love here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaganMegan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Started The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher. Stopped, this one needs a Grump to watch it with. Nicer than Ripper St. it feels like the cops game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aku-chan Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Watched the new version of The Witches, it was fairly good but I don't remember the story being such a downer. It was also a pity the whole thing didn't have a Motown soundtrack. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looooong... especially Return of the King. If you saw the original in the theater, and your bladder regretted buying the large soda when it came around to the protracted epilogue, you'll be glad you have a pause button this time. Otherwise, some good scenes, and some that would really have added clarity to the story, were cut out from the theatrical release. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citrine Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I love the extended versions, especially the Return of the King cut, because the ghost path was my favorite part of the books. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowley Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I haven't watched the theatrical versions since the extended came out! Watched the 90s Nutcracker with the kids from Home Alone... It was... Not terrible. But definitely not my favorite version. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
