How about we do it tournament style? Winners Vs Winners for the next round

Hey, it doesn't always have to be a movie quiz. I just went with movies as it's pretty much the commom denominator between us all. Maybe if you and Boter throw two or three specialist subjects each my way, I'll be able to whip something up that's a bit more suited?

Babymetal

I got convinced by a few folks I used to work with to go and see these live, and holy crap it was awesome. If you don't know Babymetal, they're a group of Japanese girls that sing and dance along to a masked metal band. I went to the gig only really casually knowing a few songs, but I left a fan.

I have genuinely been behind the wheel of one of those during a school trip. It was likely highly illegal, but they let a whole group of school kids take turns driving (piloting?) the thing around the docks.

It is no longer operational.

I second this. Wtf Drew?

So, I saw The Rise of Skywalker twice on opening day. The first time around, I really did not like it. I wouldn't say I particularly hated the film or anything, it just didn't do anything for me. For the entire movie, I felt nothing. I had to go back for a second time to either see if I was wrong in the first place or make my peace with it. And well...I kinda liked it?

Don't get me wrong, I still don't love it. If I were to rank them all, it would probably come in at dead last. But after just letting go of all the baggage, I was able to just relax and take the film for what it is - a (clunky) big, sprawling, space opera. But unlike The Last Jedi, where the more I thought about it, the more I appreciated it - The Rise of Skywalker just doesn't have that lasting effect.

I feel like I have so much to say about this film, and at the same time - I really don't want to, the internet has enough negativity out there. I started typing this post with the intent of laying out all my thoughts about TROS - but fuck that. I know people who didn't like TLJ so much that it has consumed them, and almost become tied to their identity. Fuck. That.

"Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny".

I'm not gonna pretend that I don't have any problems with this movie, I do - a whole bunch of 'em (and Faldor has the chat logs to prove it), but to paraphrase a quote from the last film, I don't want to fight what I hate. I want to cherish what I love.

Like Babu Frik. Babu Frik is awesome.

The Star Wars saga has meant so much to me throughout pretty much my entire life. It's just a shame that this saga went out, not with a bang - but with a whimper.

I want to get all of us in a room together and do this shit all night long.

Boter, I love you.

Oh god, I'm definitely doing this. I don't know when I'll be able to do it that won't disturb people and/or wake up the baby, but I am totally on board.

I’m pretty sure they’re fighting on the remains of the Death Star, which we saw in the first teaser. As for that specific piece they’re fighting on? I’ve seen people say it could be the column where Obi-Wan disables the tractor beam in ANH, but it could just be standard Star Wars greeblies.

Also, I’ll happily watch Teague rage at Photoshop any day of the week.

EDIT: You guys beat me to it!

I'm on 55% of movies that we've had DIF commentaries for. As for how many I've listened to though? I have no idea. I've listened to plenty of commentaries for films I've not seen and would typically hang around during the live streams even if it was something I hadn't seen.
