Once upon the time I was filmophile, I could not live without TV. But everything changes, so did I, and the TV, and the movies. Looking back the last 10 years of my life, I watched perhaps one to two movies a year, and one of them was always V for Vendetta on a 5th of November, what can I say, love this movie, and it always "hit me".
It's hard to find anything worthy to watch these days. I watched Star Trek: Discovery, but I was disappointed. Discovery is not New Generation, it's far from it, in a bad way. In a matter of fact it's not Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, and that is sad. Perhaps Picard will be better than Discovery, but we'll see. I watched Game of Thornes, and although it depicted psychopathy in fantasy world I'm disappointed, especially with last season, like most of people. Perhaps Witcher will be better, but I doubt it.
I digress, want to say that it is hard to find anything worthy of spending a time. OK, I like to watch documentaries, tech videos (tech nerds will relate to this), and most of all Sott videos, this things are real gems.
But couple weeks ago I wached first episode of Star Wars: The Mandalorian. At first I was reluctand to do so, because Disney+ made it, but boy it's good.
First it's Star Wars, but not like last SW movies that lost all the original trilogy "force".
Second, it is space western, like it was "Firefly" with a magic of Akira Kurosawa's movies, especially Seven Samurai epic. Mandalorian is a bad guy - a merc bounty hunter but with a help of baby "Yoda" (just a 50 years old baby) he is getting in touch with his own "humanity" and some STO values. Space cowboy and baby with STO force in it - like it.
Perhaps the rest of the series will have some value. If not, well nothing new. It will be a real surprise if not disappointed with future episodes of Mandalorian.
May the force be with it.
