Gina Carano Fired from "The Mandalorian" After Advocating Insurrection Against the United States and Expressing Anti-Semitic Beliefs

"Watchmen" on HBO, too. That one started as a curiosity and grew to be a minor cultural phenomenon. I think both release formats are valid though. I couldn't imagine "Stranger Things", for instance, on a weekly release schedule. Some shows benefit from rapid consumption, other shows benefit...

There's so much competing for my eyeballs, and so little time to watch it all, that I don't mind the wait either.

The speeder bikes are just cool. The episode captured a bit of what made them so awesome in Return of the Jedi. I always loved those little bits in the movies and the video games. A reminder that for most of these guys, it's just a job. There were certain bits that felt like one of his movies...

Yeah, the episode made it pretty clear early on that the the crew (excepting the Mandalorian) was pretty bush league. I'll watch the episode, but I'll rely on all y'all to let me know whether I should watch the Rise of Skywalker thing after the credits.

I suppose it depends if they'd already written him out by the time he became a cultural phenomenon. I just finished watching The Empire Strikes Back, and at one point Yoda admonishes Luke: "Ready, are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will...

I liked that it told a complete story with some twists and turns along the way. It felt like they packed more into the running time than many of the other episodes. I agree with this. We've been told that the Mandalorian runs in some dangerous circles, but this episode really showed it. I...

If you're basing your speculation on some sort of inside information, then sure. But if you're basing it purely on previously released episodes, that isn't spoiler material; it's discussion.

Calm down. It's only speculation.

Yeah, just because every single frame doesn't have at one pixel that's absolute black and one pixel that's absolute white doesn't mean it's "fake" HDR. "The Mandalorian" looks exactly like the show's creators want it to look. I don't need it to be very contrast-y to be content with that. And...

This was both the highlight of the episode, and my biggest problem with the episode. Up until now, the series has done a good job of being its own animal. This was the first episode that felt Saga-adjacent, like the anthology movies. If it was Coruscant or some place major, I probably wouldn't...

I liked that this week's episode told a complete story with a beginning, middle, and end. The first couple episodes were pretty sparce. That's probably the thing I liked best about the episode. Really the only rural community we've seen is Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's moisture farm on Tatooine in...

Just caught up with this. On one hand, it'll be tough waiting for new episodes like a broadcast show. On the other hand, the spaced out episodes have already generated far more discussion than the streaming shows that drop a season at a time. I really like the Marvel Studios-esque Star Wars...

Back in the late nineties, when most people still had 4x3 televisions, filming shows in 16x9 and then presenting them letterboxed on the SD feeds was one way to indicate that something was "prestige" programming. When Netflix got into original series, they adopted the 2:1 aspect ratio for a...

Trailer: Looks awesome. Though much closer to the prequel trilogy style of filmmaking with digital cinematography and lots of CG environments. Love that the title character doesn't speak once in that trailer.

I'd rather have the feature film, to be honest. But I guess we'll see whether McGregor signs on, and whether they have a six-hour story worth telling. It sounds like bullshit. But the only Princess Leia series I'd be interested in is a coming of age story with her as a kid on Alderaan -- young...

Yes, to me the difference between television content coming over a coaxial cable and television content coming over a CAT6 cable is an arbitrary one. The Streaming forum it seems to me is more about the various streaming platforms and digital e-tailers, not about the content itself.

Werner Herzog being in the supporting cast for this just blows my mind.

Now this is the kind of move that gets my attention: ‘Star Wars’: Pedro Pascal to Lead ‘The Mandalorian’ Series

He's writing and executive producing. I don't know whether he's hands on enough to be called the "showrunner", given his commitments to the CG Lion King remake, but if not then he's like the Dick Wolf of this thing. His fingerprints will be all over it, even though he's not the person actually...

It doesn't actually state that the title character is actually connected in anyway to Jango or Boba, but it makes sense to mention them since they're the two characters wearing Mandalorian armor in the movies that general audiences are most likely to have heard of. I'm quite certain that the...
