While I enjoyed Solo, don't you think it's more the fact that the backstory of the character is kind of inconsequential at this point? Those movies were definitely destroying any competition at the time, so a different release date for sure would have worked...I just don't think there's genuine interest in seeing what the character did before A New Hope. It's like when you look at fan discussions of what they want to see next and they say 'I want to see so-and-so play a young Luke Skywalker'...haven't we already seen this? Han was pretty young in that first movie.
That said, I'm with you guys in that it has gotten a bad rap.

Was talking to my brother about this, I bet the family is the 'Spengler' family in some way, shape or form.
Nothing would make me happier than to think of Egon having gone on with his life after the last two movies. It'd help to fill the huge hole that is left behind with no Harold Ramis. It makes sense that after the business kind of fizzled that he might have just kept a bunch of the equipment in upstate NY...would make sense with one of the kids getting ahold of it and experimenting, etc. It also kind of adds that connection to the afterlife that's been unspoken over all the movies, really. Could totally see one of the kids wanting to get their 'grandpa' back and going to these lengths for it, despite in the end not being able to control it. Maybe that's why Ivan Reitman was 'in tears' by the end?
Let's see if I'm close! Can't wait for this, regardless.

Long time no see. So I started training again and finally shot some video to build up a YouTube presence. Here's the inaugural promo/video/short film/whatever-you-would-like-to-call-it.
Hope you enjoy it and it's fun to be back online. Check out unboxings on the channel too and future shorts to come. Great to see everyone:

Thanks man. I reached out on FB and they gave me an email. I was hoping to keep it out of my Twitter account, but I guess if they don't respond (they haven't) I'll have to. I hear ya. I know that's the best way, even Randy tells people that. I have been helped a few times on their twitter and fairly quickly, too. Pretty messed up that their CS twitter is more effective then their email off their website, right? True that! I actually only received the email from the FB message...couldn't find anything on their site. I'm actually thinking they were probably just out for the holiday and I'm being impatient haha. I'll give it a few more days

Opened my SDCC Turtles finally and Mikey's foot snapped right off. Kind of sucks. Looking to see if the NECA Store can get me another one. Otherwise, boo. the best way to deal with them is actually their customer service on twitter. Neca_cs Thanks man. I reached out on FB and they gave me an email. I was hoping to keep it out of my Twitter account, but I guess if they don't respond (they haven't) I'll have to.

Well, I got most of the GB II figures, and let me just say...these kind of make me want to die. They are amazingly detailed and look great, but holy sh*t do they not stand up on their own, pose on their own, or anything even remotely close to that. Two proton guns snapped, a leg tube, a bunch of other things...it's awesome that there's so much detail but even for an adult collector it doesn't make much sense to take these out of the package and display them. I was kind of blown away...in pictures, the equipment looks removable, everything about it looks good. When opened I started to be afraid to even touch them.
Not much I can do about it now, though. Going to just super glue things back in certain places and just never touch them again?

I'm trying to stay calm, but I can't. If the Dodgers play the Red Sox in the World Series it will be the culmination not just of my entire sports life but life growing up in MA and hating the Sox. I'm definitely going to try to go to a game at Fenway, I don't care how much credit card debt it's going to put me in. May never happen again in my lifetime!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Re-releases of Yoda, Anakin, and Scout Trooper were shown at NYCC. Ezra and Grievous were there. I think more might be shown later. One of my most wanted non-movie figures, General Kenobi... Wow! That's Hasbro? I want to know what they're doing to finally fix the terrible face problem they've always had!

Nicki is leaps and bounds better in my book.
(ignore that Iggy Azalea nonsense at the end)
I'm also a fan of her pop songs. This one is a new classic:
Cardi on the other hand doesn't do it for me at all. She reminds me of that stupid dance move where someone grabs their ankle and the back of their neck and stretches. That is straight up every song I've heard of hers in a nutshell. Her flow is goofy and it's just always an exaggerated silliness and I think she gets a pass because people watched whatever show it was she was on and because she was a stripper and because people are instagram/twitter obsessed and she's pretty busy on there. But from a music and even from a hip hop perspective i dont think theres a comparison.
