Gotta love Jezza. That's one wazzock with his head screwed on right good and proper.

It ain't just him trying to get the hell away from the Dunham Horror, either. Take a lot at Jonathan Ross on her direct right. He's actually cringing because he is forced to lean against that hambeast. And look at the chaps directly behind her – they are actually trying really hard to stay away from her foul presence.

Even touching the Dunham Horror is hazardous to one's mental and physical health.

Is it just me, or does your buddy Jeremy look like he's trying to stay as far from lena Dunham as the producer will allow?

OK, now I get it. Thanks for explaining the whole "Baby Yoda" thing. I've been seeing it popping up for a while and it's had me stumped.

Hate on Disney etc, I get it.. but it's a good show. Out of 8 "chapters" I found one meh, one mildly annoying as it attempts to push a bit of love interest to explain the helmet never coming off.. and 6 episodes that range from great to holy-fucking-shit glued to the TV. Highly recommended!

From what I've heard, the "adults", insofar as that term can be applied to Hollyweird directors, are in charge with The Mandalorian. John Favreau may hate Trump and his supporters, but he has done good work in the past. I don't know why people hate on Iron Man 2 so much – I thought it was a great movie.

Now that Cancer Kathleen has been sidelined and people with actual storytelling talent are involved, it would appear as though the Devil Mouse has found something worth producing in the STAR WARS canon.

Re: the Mandalorian, it's excellent – far better than the sequels. The meme and all the "baby yoda" stuff is based off of this Yoda-like character introduced at the end of the first episode. The Mandalorian (aka "Mando" to many characters) is a bounty hunter, who gets a super-secret/sketchy bounty, for a 50-year-old. Hijinks ensue, hyperspace, gun battle(s) etc, and eventually he finds his quarry – "The Child" aka baby yoda. It's a baby of Yoda's species. The show is set 5-6 years after RotJ so obviously it's not Yoda himself, but maybe his kid? Yoda keeled at 900+ years old, so a toddler of that species being 50 years old, sure..?

What this really alludes to is that the child is seriously toddler-like .. not much in the speech department, and still learning lots. So presumably when he's not on-screen force choking a bitch he's on Mando's ship getting his diaper changed.

Yes, I remember watching part of that show – particularly the climactic battle at the end of the third episode. That was pretty badass, although the CGI was quite crappy and limited badly by the technology of the time. This new Dune film should be much more promising – assuming that the studio doesn't cock it up by injecting a lot more woke bullshit into it.

I enjoyed the Dune miniseries that the scifi channel put out back in 2000. Paul was a bit more whiny than the book, but the costumes and sets were top notch. And Ian McNiece steals the show with his Harkonnen.
