Whew… okay.

After the motherboard fiasco from back in June… the CS forum is current again. No more 100+ unread threads to catch up on. @.@

It is 4:30am and I have not slept. My eldest cat has been sick all evening on and off. I almost get to sleep and she gets sick again :frowning:

Poor girl. No fever, no pain, nothing bad I don’t think. Probably my fault for giving her a different food :confused: That, or her appetite stimulant made her eat too much and hence the results.

Hope she feels better soon.

She is elderly, has kidney disease, and is underweight. I realize things are…what they are.

For her age and condition she is good - just having a bad night and I am anxious as usual.

I liked Acolyte. Me and Dad enjoyed it.

Yeah, same. It wasn’t my favorite of the Star Wars series that have come out, but I mostly enjoyed it. I hoped that would have been able to expand upon it from there.

It was good i enjoyed it as wel guess it didnt do as well as people expected pity.

I think the expectation has gotten a bit like there is towards Marvel now, which is sad. It seems every show/movie absolutely must be a blockbuster hit or it’s an ultimate failure. Sometimes a show can just be good and worth the watch, without needing to change your life by watching it.

Honestly, I’m kind of burnt out on Star Wars and Marvel movies.

I’m not. For me that is like saying… Oh, I’m burnt out on reading comics, or sci fi/fantasy or playing video games.

It’s the genres I love and being in a time where the technology is finally up to snuff to help tell the stories, I’ll take as many of those as I can get. I don’t love and support every decision made, but I don’t want them to stop. Just slow down and put some thought and care into what is made.

My husband and I call it ā€œsocial redeeming valueā€. That’s not why we watch a show or movie. I want to be entertained, not preached to.

It’s nice and cool today so I am making homemade chicken soup. Right now, I’m playing the pot game. Turn it up and it boils. Turn it down and it stops. I need to find the sweet spot for a low simmer.

I love shows that have a value, make you think, reinforce a heroic moral and make you want to be a better person. I don’t believe having those elements is being ā€œpreached toā€. For me, those resonate with me. Where I see myself, or the ideal of myself, reflected in the story, character. etc…

I meant more like the difference between Avengers: End Game or Thor Ragnarok and maybe Hawkeye or Ms Marvel. Both of the movies were huge, blockbusters, but I love both of those series for what they were, even with their faults.

I guess I should have said what mood I’m in. I love all the Marvel movies. I love my Godzilla. I also enjoyed Chernobyl. That was a fascinating movie to explain some things. Oppenheimer was good as well. Explained much that I didn’t know. It’s situational. Bad day? Don’t want to have to think, just unwind. :grin:

I put joker in the same category as titanic had to sit thru it 2 times and hated it the 2nd time. Reminds me of the supernatural episode where balthazar saves the titanic because he hates the song lol.

Got bad news for ya…
