I genuinely don't understand the confusion around the Mando movie.
Who is he fighting in the trailer? Imperials, thugs and some gladiator monsters. Who is he working with? New Republic. Who's on the poster? The Hutts and AT-ATs.
What else do you need to know that's not in the official logline?

I feel like your response to this is mostly contingent on expectations.
If you spent weeks hyping over getting an epic new trailer, sure, you'd feel let down. I was.
But if you're casual TV dad who never knew this was coming, you'd say: "Ha, it's a Bud commercial, but with Baby Yoda. Pretty cool!"

They wanted an embodiment of toxic masculinity and immediately thought of Jared Leto.
Skeletor is "the embodiment of toxic masculinity" in Masters of the Universe, says director Travis Knight.
“[Jared Leto] wanted to swing for the fences,” the director tells Empire. “We landed on something that I’m really happy with.”

I love how George Lucas invented a whole-ass fictional history for the Skywalker Ranch to explain his design ideas to the architects.

Probably the most technically accomplished film Ron Howard ever made — and we're talking about the guy who did Apollo 13!
Never fails to amaze me how no one died on that set. Although they did almost burn Scott Glenn's balls off!

Last year I've had a great time playing Fate of Atlantis (1993) and Crazy Taxi (1999) for the first time. I also frequently distract myself with a round or two of Dr. Mario (1990).

Went down a random rabbit hole today, trying to figure out when they showed the very first Star Wars footage in IMAX.
Most likely, it's this 1996 documentary by Ben Burtt, who not only chronicled the making of Special Editions, but recreated the famous ANH opening.

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.
The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

If you zoom in all the way to the back case, on the third shelf from the top you'll see Russian editions of Star Wars books from Terra Fantastica Publishing (2000-2010).

Oh, I love this evolution of the TCW style: familiar 3D models, but set against somewhat distorted, painterly backgrounds and effects.

So, are we ready to call Ryan Coogler one of today's greatest filmmakers?
With 16 (!!!) noms, Sinners is now the most nominated film in #Oscars history!

Chris Pratt vehicle “Mercy” is a weirdly pro-AI action thriller, with a 3D screenlife conceit that’s physically painful to watch. www.ign.com/articles/mer...

Finally got to see #AUsefulGhost, and want to shout from the rooftops about how great this movie.
Starts as an absurdist comedy about a man reconnecting with his dead wife whose spirit haunts a vacuum cleaner. But then it starts shifting gears in numerous other unexpected (and darker) directions.

I don't think we've ever seen a more public display of how dementia reverts one's mental state to childhood.
“I’m taking over a sovereign country because nobody gave me the Nobel Peace Prize.”
I know history repeats itself as farce but Jesus Christ, this is literally “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this the War Room!” mixed with Suzy Eddie Izzard’s “Do you have a flag?” imperialism bit.

![Nick Schifrin v @nickschifrin
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
"Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway? There are no written documents, it's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT"
