$30 US to stream? No thanks

The streaming movie prices are ridiculously high, I am guessing if people can head back to cinemas at some time in the future these prices are going to have to drop.

Wow, this thread hasn't really taken off. 

 

The Old Man on Disney+ is well worth a look. Jeff Bridges reprises his Rooster Cockburn effort (ok not really) from True Grit but as an ex-CIA operative on the run. It's paced really nicely, some (IMO overly long) mono- and dialogues interspersed with sporadic graphic violence.

 

John Lithgow is excellent as well.

I am really enjoying Andor on Disney plus.
 

it’s the latest Star Wars spin off and has the darkest vibe of all the recent series.

 

 It takes its cues from the Rogue One movie, and is set 5 years prior to rogue one.

Same here

 

I like how Cassian shoots people even rebels without warning and regard, I'm glad they kept that trait of his character from Rogue One

It’s certainly dark. Not having seen Rogue one I was surprised at the darkness, notably the shooting people dead biz. Great to see his mum played by the spy boss from Killing Eve

I think this maybe a British production not Hollyweird and has benefitted

Andor update

 

Oh Geez episode 8 Narkina 5 is very dark. 

 

The prison planet is quite an experience, and the political intrigue on Coruscant is also interesting (normally boring in these shows).  It really highlights the empire as a giant uncaring bureaucracy, the classic evil of the Emperor is only hinted at.

Judge - '6 year sentence... Next'

Andor - 'But I'm just a tourist' LOL

 

The political establishment and its dissenters on Coruscant is a great arc to the show and the Empire is just realising a real threat, although it has been building over episodes

 

The Tie Fighter chase Ep 6 The Eye, 10/10

Going to stick my neck and say that Andor is a cut above The Mandalorian, the writing and acting is simply that good.

Ep 10 was epic

Indeed, this show has been one heck of a slow burn, every episode from around ep 7, just gets better and better.

 

The only reason I kept watching initially was it is Star Wars and Rogue One was excellent. 
 

The other minor factor initially was knowing the characters ultimate fate and seeing the actor that plays him is clearly older now than he was in rogue one, but that factor has completely dissipated. What about the piloting scene in yesterdays ep (whoah, way to announce yourself to the empire).

Shinking - has started, for fans of Ted Lasso style.

 

 

 

This is an extremely funny interview with Brett.    His story about meeting with HF is classic.

Was recommended to watch Fleishman Is in Trouble, and I really enjoyed it. It was released last year and slipped under the radar, but it's a very good quality series.
