@nicksterwixter On a separate note, The Sheep Detectives is really good. And some fun Catholic references!

When Disney first bought Star Wars, I was really really hoping they’d make more movies just like this—standalone adventures with new characters in the Star Wars universe that could just be fun little adventures and not feel burdened about connecting to The Lore™. Unfortunately, those kinds of movies still need to be exciting and entertaining and this just isn’t that for the most part.

Welp it’s got a big ole “eh” from me. Not a truly bad movie and there’s some fun scenes and great creature designs in it! The first third is really fun. But after that, the movie just kind of meanders without any real plot. It’s very much a “stuff just happens and then other stuff just happens” kind of movie and it kind of just drags itself to the end.

@gregcello Not sure how much of a movie guys you are, but The Sheep Detectives is well worth bring the family to see!

@gregcello Same with Christmas lights! Doesn’t matter who else can see them.

“Greg, why would you put up all that bunting, your house is off the road, no one will see it” “I don’t care if I live in the middle of 300 acres in Coos County, I’m going to smother my house in American bunting flags.” “this is America’s 250th gosh darn it!”

@adamtvaccaro Same with Password and Passkey! Why even offer a passkey when the device saves your password!!

Future historians are going to be very annoyed that two consequential but very different and mostly unrelated technologies emerged at roughly the same time, and they were respectively called GPT and GLP.
