Good news tonight. The world may be looking pretty bleak across the board, but the Boston Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2 tonight.
Also, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew ended and it was excellent! (No spoilers though)
Also, the cats watched Friends again and it’s crazy how they can’t look away.
Good news all over the place! WOOHOO!
Okay folks, you can talk about Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode three now. I just finished watching it so I don’t have to avoid spoilers anymore. Go ahead and debate it to your hearts content.
He said selfishly as if no one else getting spoiled didn’t phase him, though you notice he hasn’t spoiled anything himself so maybe this post is meant to be a little silly and a lot sarcastic. Hmmmmm… what do we think?
It’s been a quiet day. Not a lot going on. One issue at work that should have been wrapped up on Friday came back to us today (Tuesday) and was immediately taken care of. It should not have come back to us though. There was another issue that one of my staff members worked on over the last month or so. He wrapped it up nicely last week. We were talking about it yesterday and we were both a little sad that his hard work did not seem to rate a pat on the back or a thank you from the customer. It’s okay if they just move on with their lives, but this was a kind of issue where we thought a simple thank you would have been nice. Well, he got a thank you today. Thanks for the thanks, customer.
Most years at work I am part of two holiday celebrations. One is a big lunch with a yankee swap and the other is a smaller, quieter group lunch. The yankee swap happened today. The quieter group lunch happens tomorrow. Both of them take place in Foxborough, which is the office that is as far away as I am willing to go to. It could be worse. It could be Fall River. That building has been open for a decade or so and I have never been there. It’s just too far away. If I ever have the need to go there I will, but I am not going by choice and I will avoid it whenever I can. I’ve been lucky so far. Foxborough though… today and tomorrow. It’s okay. I’ll handle it. It’s only about 70 miles away. Yikes.
At the Yankee swap thing today there was a sign that said there are only 15 days left until xmas. You know… I wasn’t feeling a holiday crunch before I saw that… now? Oh yeah, I’m feeling the holiday crunch. Panic is setting in.
There is a new episode of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew coming out at 9pm tonight. Hopefully that will make me feel a little better. I’m still not 100% sold on the concept of Goonies in Space, but I am liking it so far. I’ve only seen two episodes. I am optimistic that tonight’s episode three will be good. The bad guys are Pirates. Arrrr, righty then.
What else can I write about? Nothing. I think I need to wrap this literary masterpiece and click that publish button. Okay, loyal readers… here it comes!
Skeleton Crew… the first two episodes came out last night. I watched episode one last night and episode two this morning. Without spoilers, what did I think?
I don’t know. It was okay. It is definitely geared toward kids. If that’s a deal breaker for you then… well, you’re probably not a Star Wars fan because pretty much everything in Star Wars is geared toward kids (except for Andor, really… which has spoiled a lot of us).
Sure, we’re only two episodes in but it is so clearly a giant homage to The Goonies. It just keeps hitting you over the head with it. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just what is happening.
I liked it. I liked the opening pirate scene. I liked the location in the second episode. I’m curious about who/what/how Jude Law. My one beef is that there are too many shots that are totally lifted from the first movie. Other than that… I liked it. I didn’t adore it, but I did like it.
Episode three comes out next Tuesday. I’ll have more info then. For now?
HELL YES, NEW STAR WARS!
The first two episodes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew are out! Disney+ released them seven minutes ago.
Robin is super psyched!
I fear that this one is going to be a little too kiddie for me. Andor being grown-up focused has spoiled me a little. The Acolyte was good but I hope that even with my unfounded fears Skeleton Crew will be better.
Even if it’s trash I am still going to love it. It’s Star Wars, after all. Am I right, or am I right?
Enjoy!
