Star Wars
This is the slowest of the original trilogy in my opinion. There is just a lot of slower pace to this movie that really pulls me out of it. Mark, Harrison, and Carrie are still excellent in this movie. However, I made a comment in the Blade Runner review about Harrison Ford's kissing ...
Movies
The fights both between force users against each other and non-force users like on Jabba's Barge are iconic and honestly awesome. There are so many scenes that just make you feel that you are there and really just get pulled into the events.

Ok, romance story and CGI woes out of the way. The cast does really well playing their characters. You can see the edges getting frayed and the mentality that will lead him to become Vader. That is really what these movies are about. The rise of Vader and his tyranny.
Movies
I can't tell you how many times I have seen this movie. Especially as a kid. I used to watch it on a small TV in the car between the front two seats that had a VHS player at the bottom. It was revolutionary for our car trips. However, I used to be able to quote this movie word-for-word.
Movies
The fight scenes are the best. I mean just look at Ewan and Hayden just spinning those things with such fluidity that it feels very natural. I remember seeing an interview, I think as part of the Obi-Wan TV show, where Ewan talked about them being so fast that they were told to slow down.

In this episode, we talk about Assassin's Creed Shadows and the Switch 2. At one point it gets so heated that a bet is made that would have originally pissed off our wives. From the cost, the games, the showcase, and the hardware, we leave no stone unturned...
Video Game
The Last of Us will be forever one of the best stories ever told in media. No matter if the conversation is a video game or the TV show. The show's faithful adaptation to the game is what kept fans involved and what brough fans of the show to the game.
Movies
This is easily one of my favorite movies. I haven't watched it in years, but I was so happy to revisit it. With solid performances, great set design, funny characters, and a plot point being that choices matter no matter where you are from, it is a stellar movie even decades later.
TV
This show has felt like a drawn out drama at times, and others it has felt like a comic book action show with an over the top amount of gore. I am not saying the gore bothers me, I am just saying that amount that is flying off each person as they get hit is about 100x more than it should be.
TV
I didn't like this show. The narrator was awful, the interviews were so wave top that you never felt like you got anything good. It didn't even talk about the book it came from. On of the authors is one of the interviewed people.
Books
This is the last of the Kovacs book and I am happy that it is over. While this book was entertaining and told a great story, but really just felt like a long whiney book talking about how the girl he loved years ago who went somewhere else was killed based and he wants her back.
Video Game
The Assassin's Creed games are my favorite games other than the Mass Effect series. I have enjoyed playing all the games for what they were including this one. What hurts it is the lack of attention to detail for the story. I am very tired of not being part of the Creed for the main character.
