  1. You really want to thrill me. Change it to Cinemax and offer the softcore stuff again.
  2. I don't normally buy them any longer but I hope Pablo Hidalgo makes an Andor sourcebook. I would buy that in an instant.
  3. Liverpool finished 2nd in 2021-2022 with 92 points. Also 2nd in 2018-2019 with 97 points.
  4. Thanksgiving Day game is against Kansas City at 3:30 on CBS.
  5. They carry that same uselessness in Rogue One. It was pretty poetic that Partagas was listening to Nemik's manifesto that was spreading everywhere and wondering who it was while realizing it was already too late.
  6. What's great is Rogue One shows that even though Krennic is a badass, he's still a step below Tarkin and Vader. So he was the king of his little fiefdom but he still had to serve somebody.
  7. On the agenda for today. Gilroy rejoined The Watch podcast to talk about the finale. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2dk1Heftbgeb64ww3kO5Xi?si=274a2a595ad84c76
  8. I dropped my subscription but saw the Athletic has a story about Frimpong. The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC · 5h Dutchman keen to join, no personal terms issues £29.6m release clause & homegrown status appeal Player & Bayer Leverkusen want fast resolution Left-back is Liverpool's priority What we’re hearing on #LFC & Jeremie Frimpong - and why he’s wanted
  9. Gilroy answering some questions about the finale. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/andor-finale-twists-tony-gilroy-interview-1236212162/
  10. Add to this, Gilroy is only there because Kathleen Kennedy and others thought Edwards director's cut was shit. So she hired Gilroy to clean it up and it became what it is. Then she offers him a chance to write a treatment for a K2SO/Andor buddy heist series which she agrees to let him change to what we have now. Then she and others all the way up the Disney chain just let him go with very little restrictions outside of budget, which they also leave mostly up to him to work within. All of this is why we have to appreciate this series. This is our Star Wars black swan. It will never happen again. I like Filoni but he has no interest in this. Nor does Favreau. They are good at what they do but it's not this.
  11. Pour one out for Lonni Jung. Guy risked everything to uncover the Death Star plans, passed that information on which saved the galaxy, was murdered for his effort because he was a loose end. Gilroy did something I hadn't seen in Star Wars. He made the Empire afraid. You could see the terror in all their faces when they knew the Death Star plans are out there. Remember the lengths they then go to in Rogue One to ensure the plans don't get out. K2 braining Imperials in a fashion similar to what the KX units were doing to the Ghor was great. The sniveling weasel being a human shield was perfect.
  12. The mics are way too hot at the Campound. How do they not have that fixed yet? Out on anything Danny is in.
  13. When Cassian finds Jyn, she's on the prison planet, Wobani. He frees her to help find her father. She has to help him get in with Saw Guerra.
  14. Disney+ is f'ing smart to make that be the next thing it automatically leads you into after the last episode ended. We're watching tomorrow. We had planned it for Friday but I can't wait. Perrin moved on to Sculdin's wife. Nice. Kinda shocked it all didn't blow back on him but I bet they saw just how slothful and non-threatening he was.
  15. But think about it. She probably lives. Of all the people in this, if she survives till the Empire falls, she's freed with everyone else.
  16. That was everything I hoped it would be. Gilroy broke the fucking mold for Star Wars storytelling.
  17. Current mood:
  18. It's possible the B-Wing was created based on the technology. Both have a giant laser meant to blow up capital ships. He was there to steal it with the help of the tech who joins the Rebellion. This is a really awesome coincidence. The show with Diego Luna ends on the same day he was announced 10 years ago as being cast in Rogue One.
  19. Fox Sports will have a stand alone app supposedly coming where you can pay for Fox, FS1 & FS2, and I believe BTN.
  20. I think Luthen and Kleya both go down with the ship and take some Imperials out in the process. You can't tell me that shop isn't rigged to blow at a moment's notice. It's interesting that the last arc moved us away from Luthen as the main agitator of the Empire to the larger, organized Rebellion taking shape and gearing up for a real war.
  21. And that would be a large stadium that would be flooded with LSU fans who would outnumber SMU fans 3:1 and has no suites or creature comforts the well-heeled SMU higher ups enjoy. A hot Cotton Bowl on September 1st without suites and all their club levels. Yeah, not happening. The game is going to be at Gerald J Ford Stadium. SMU is not getting paid to play this game. This is a true home and home.
  22. I think VvD and Gakpo could help land him. That's a budget friendly option that we know FSG likes.
  23. There's always Celina, Anna, and Melissa to white flight to I guess.
  24. ESPN's standalone app info. I'll get the bundle since I'm already doing Hulu + Disney+ +ESPN+ for $27. $9 more for all the ESPN channels? That's fine. https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2025/05/new-direct-to-consumer-offering-to-be-singularly-branded-espn/
