I finally got around to watching the new Boba Fett show and was thinking about the Max Rebo cameo, which raises the question “how did that guy survive the explosion of Jabba’s sail barge to show up at another venue years later?”
Then it hit me. He really did die in the explosion, but like Elvis Presley his musical legacy lives on in the form of Max Rebo impersonators.
Someone who has played in every dive bar this side of the galatic rim knows when the venue is going to shit and when to leave. I like to think Max recognized the jedi shenanigans and high tailed it out before the barge blew up.
“The CW” has a bunch of superhero shows that share a kind of adolescent vibe—characters are nominally adults, but there is a kind of childish enthusiasm and lack of depth to everything
Two exceptions manage to short-circuit the company format by having mixed casts, where some characters are literally teenagers and act like teenagers and other characters are clearly middle-aged and are allowed some gravitas
As of today there is also Naomi, which has so far only aired one episode so we don’t know where it falls on the spectrum yet
Sometimes, a show works just on the strength of the absurdity of the situations even without likable characters. I never really liked anyone on Seinfeld, but the day-to-day foibles kept me coming back.
Finally got around to watching I Care a Lot, which had been pushed down on my Netflix list. Holy crap, this flick got me to review all of my estate and care documents! The performances were great, and captured my attention from beginning to end.
But yes, no matter how well you think you’ve planned things, and no matter how much you think your loved ones are fully on-board with your wishes, etc., get a second opinion from a lawyer to make sure everything is locked in correctly.
