[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 7954041, member: 6688277"] Don't worry if we have to turn our geek card in at the door I would be first with SW. I watched Rogue One, it wasn't what I wanted from SW and I knew Disney would not be able to deliver/cater for my likes so I didn't watch anything after that. Heard about all the blowback from both sides. What a hot mess. From what I heard and could be mistaken, it seemed like the person in charge went in without a plan for the 3 movies. Anyways back to GoT. It was not just that the last few seasons were bad (and they were bad) - it was the absolute ABSOLUTE apathy and sheer SHEER arrogance of the two show runners i.e. what they were saying in interviews as well as interviews they purposefuly dropped out from. SW fans can be grateful these two were cut from any SW projects. Those two deserve everything they got and keep getting online. That is the way I feel. With regards to Picard. I was disappointed. The story they wanted to tell was not bad and they did try to plug an interesting hole I had never thought of before about the absence of andriods/synths not existing within the ST universe. The inter-connectivity (forced relationship) with everyone involved with the synths was a little over the top but what you gonna do. HW seems to be filled with a plethora of average writers of late...so many shows I have stopped watching because of that. It forces one to try out European movies and series instead which is the silver lining. So last year I watched the Ghostbuster movie on Netflix in a casual relaxed unassuming environment (which I think plays a huge role in one's opinion on a movie). I liked the cameos and I actually didn't mind it - but I can see how fans of the originals may take issue with it. Now funny enough, my reaction to The Hustle, a Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remake, was much much stronger. The Hustle for me failed in almost EVERY regard and I like Anne Hathaway - but seriously how could they try to match the two ladies to Steve Martin and Michael Caine which latter two were already giants by the time they made that movie. It is different for everyone and the circumstances one watches the movie in plays a major role. For instance, I watched Iron Man II as part of a massive marathon so that I could watch Avengers & Endgame and I actually was much less critical of it the second time round. I actually surprised myself in this regard. [/QUOTE]
