- Not a 'Star Wars' style movie. This seems true, but missed the question - were 'Star Wars' stle movies actually good? (I forced myself to appreciate all the movies, but wasnt always easy.)
- Like 4x or 8x TV show episodes. Actually, the shows were better in many ways, with more Mandolorian lore and storyline, more character arcs. None of that in the movie except Rada the Hutt. New blue pilot CG guy noticeably got no background.
I liked it as a sci-fi movie, but was missing the heart of the show, was light on message, & didn't expand on the story in any meaningful way.
Mortal Kombat II - saw with 13 yr old son. We laughed our butts off (me louder than him). Decent writing, acting, story, jokes -- overall a great surprise. Plus Karl Urban and extra unnecessary cursing. A great B-movie for guys, and there were strong female leads so maybe women/girls might like also? (Dunno bc I havent found any women/girls who have seen it yet.)
Also a great movie adaptation of a video game.
The Boys finale - while I loved the comics, the show lost it's edge. Still, it was quite a journey - 5 seasons Homelander, Butcher, Hughie.
In the end, I really didnt like Jack Quaid's single dimensional acting, but his finale scene had great payoff. What stood out most on the show was Starlight's face surgeries & that controversy. It almost parallels the show. Good (bad) fun, had more social commentary than was expected I think. Def kept the irreverent tone of the comics.
MBA continues - finished Accounting & Org Mgmt, semester 2 = Corporate Finance & Strategic Marketing.
- Accounting - was challenging, but I liked the knowledge. I discussed with therapist that I used to hate money bc my parents didn't have any financial skills or knowledge and were primarily fear-based, taught me to be afraid. I hope to teach my kids financial literacy.
- Org Mgmt - a lot of incredible insights into different ways to do businesses, structure business, handle change and workplace politics. My fav teacher so far, Prof Rizova, has Bulgarian sense of humor and is also teaching AI, which she says is terrifying.
I tried presenting Marketing ideas for my work. Boss, "No". Product Team, "No." So I decided to pivot to Sneaky Pickle 🥒, my VC Startup concept that *requires* good values along w/profit. Now going deep into the pickle!!! I confided in folks that it makes me scared, but also super excited. So far, everyone says to continue...
Onwards!!
