All things me.

@odd You are right, off course. The problem is that I find the ignore part hard to do.

And that’s probably why I feel especially negative toward the idiots on ”the left”, rather than on ”the right”. The stupidities of ”the right” is fairly simple to ignore. Just don’t read their fringe publications. Ignoring stupidities from ”the left” on the other hand would require me to ignore so much mainstream press.

I am probably the odd man out here, but when I talk about my problems with the ”culture war” destroying my will to rewatch The Last Jedi, it is mainly not because of Evil Right-Wing-Alt-Right-Nazi-Incel-Hobgoblins, it’s because of their opposite yet still strangely similar counterparts telling me that if I don’t love this movie, it’s probably because I’m a misogynistic racist who hate people who aren’t skinny.

It’s gotta be possible to find a movie okay but not great.

@furstenberg The Last Jedi will probably grow on me to once I rewatch it. The problem for me is that it got caught up in the stuped ”culture war” that we seem to be fighting on the internet every single day.

Was it that the commentary helped in expressing his intentions with the movie, or where they just fun/interesting comments?

In general, if your podcast about The Rise or Skywalker dismisses criticism of The Last Jedi as anything from fanboyism to misogyny, I’ll stop listening.

Microcast: Star Wars – The Rise of Skywalker

I just watched Star Wars – The Rise of Skywalker in the movie theatre. Here’s some first impressions. Some of the things I say may be considered spoilers.

It appears that I and the rest of Europe will have to wait until March at best before we get to watch The Madalorian. That feels a lot more like a thing of 1999 rather than 2019.

🎧 Listened to: H.I. #104: Fruitbooting — Hello Internet

I had already listened to this episode when it was first released but at that time I hadn’t watched Solo: A Star Wars Story so I skipped that part of the episode. Now that I have watched the movie I went back and listened to the episode.

I enjoyed Grey and Brady’s discussion about it and I’m glad they more or less liked the movie. I agree with them that it probably is the second best new Star Wars movie.

🎞 Watched: Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Since this is a Star Wars movie and today was the first time I watched it I’m probably contractually obligated to write something long but that’ll have to wait for another day. For now, suffice to say it was a really enjoyable movie and I’m looking forward to seeing it again. Alden Ehrenreich – the guy that plays Han – is just perfect for the role!

Microcast: First impressions of ”Rogue One”

posted this on and tagged it with Rogue One Star Wars

Listen to my first impressions of ”Rogue One”.

This is very much not a cohesive review. It’s me saying ”random” thoughts about the movie less than ten minutes after I watched it for the first time.
