Me and the boy at present mainly use Disney+ for watching the 90s Spider-man cartoon. I watched them previously when each episode was spread out over three hours on Going Live, excruciating at the time. I think they took so long to show them that they never showed the entire series or more likely I gave up.

Plenty of other cartoons, X-men, Clone Wars, etc. to keep me paying for the sub.

There is a Mando thread but it is spoilers all the way to the final episode.

Here is the thread anyway for reference.

Also why was this seemingly primitive creature called Wicket W Warrick?

I get Warrick will be because of the actor but how does this cave man teddy bear have a middle name?

lol

Ha I just searched for this thread to say this. Bored at home in a lull, thought I'd chuck it on for a bit, and it is absolutely woeful.

Jennifer garner as a spy in school and an aeroplane crashing into a beach.

To be fair, JJ did a great job of TFA and the first Star Trek reboot movie.

I did like that Star Trek film. He clearly loves the original series.

Based on

Lost
Star Trek reboots
Star Wars

He's a shameless talentless shallow hack and we are all diminished by someone like him making this much money out of our nostalgia and member berries

I thought the Star Trek reboot was bang on the money. Solid cast (Pegg being the only weak link), Star trekky plot, great visuals and whipped along at a nice action movie pace. Sequels got progressively worse, but always like a bit of Cumberbatch action, so it gets a couple of extra points for that.

It was a very good cast.....that's probably why I like it.

A good peformance can make a difference in my book. I like Spectre because of Christoph Woltz.

DavyK that may have been a step too far

No no need to apologise! it's just like, my opinion, man

I mean nothing by it - just sort of half amused half aghast at how bad (I find) his movies / stories to be.

Davy's right - a good cast goes a long way and he seems to hit pay dirt with that (but that'll be his casting agent not him), and he's certainly not a terrible director or editor. Just that his stories make no sense, I mean to the extent of being seemingly deliberately audience-insultingly awful; and he seems to get away with a lot on nostalgia alone, or a sense of something deep without it actually being meaningful at all. He pushes buttons, but doesn't follow through with anything that stays with you other than a sense of being manipulated (in my case).

TRoS is the nadir of his oeuvre, it's just terrible, an embarrassment to good story telling and a shameless nostalgic condescending cash grab "oh we'll give them palpatine the nerds will love that".

I started to rewatch TROS the other night and with fresh eyes and I dont disagree with you. There were some awful cringeworthy lines/plot points. But what I will say in his favour is the world(s) in the movie feels fun and has a real spark of imagination. Some of the visuals are just gorgeous. Passana for example. Meeting Lando, the sith ship and sandworm,the knights of ren are all fucking dire. Proper shit. BUT. It looks amazing. Its another desert planet but with a life all of its own. The festival even was really cool looking. That planet felt like a proper Star Wars planet with Star Wars things happening on it. Similar to what Davy said about the actors, for me if the design,atmosphere and audio visuals are on point I can forgive a lot. 
His story might be fan service but its main phase Star Wars. Id rather a fan service story than one that is written by someone who seems to hate Star Wars. (Points at RJ, spits).
