I agree. Really enjoyable as I took the boys last night. I really was not expecting much but the action throughout the movie kept me involved.

our biggest concerns were sneaking into a R rated movie and hoping the theater police didn't catch you
Especially when the multiplex started popping up. Hard to sneak in a twin theater. :lol:
But what comes on cable now is far worse than most rated R movies back in the 80s except maybe Porky's

are they not fans?
That is the question to be asked. Amazon did this to promote Rings of Power. Brought in influencers to pretend they were super fans and afterwards found out most knew nothing of Tolkien to LOTR.

Feel it was the true beginning of cable TV pushing the boundaries and bringing a whole new era to TV series.
FX really pushed the boundaries starting with The Shield. Over the next 8 years we also saw the release of Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, SOA, and Justified.
Also, IIRC correctly during that time Always Sunny and Archer hit the tube.
re: Rank the best looking SEC campuses that you have been on

Been to most but yet to visit Texas schools, Mizzou, or OU. All have nice features about them. I prefer college towns, so Knoxville and Columbia do nothing for me. Vanderbilt reminds me of Wake Forest. In a city but sort of on its own. Outside of UA always enjoyed UGA.
We been touring schools with my daughter. Her top two choices are UVA and Cornell. Both really nice campuses. Yale is all one of my favorites.
Someone mentioned Duke earlier but outside of the old quad not a very attractive campus. Not to mention in the middle of Durham so even on campus after dark is not safe. UNC used to be a great college town, but the medical facilities have taken over along with all the apartment complexes gobbling up real estate.

I think a lot of that has to do with costs, and people are also personally attached the the live action characters. There are few animated characters that people get emotionally attached to, and the one's they do get attached to more often than not get ruined in live action. See Cad Bane & Asoka.
I think it has more to do with how they are written. Obi and Fett were not done well in their series either but like Maul have a great story arc from start to finish.
I would be all for both getting an animated series like Maul.

I’ve always thought state schools should serve the kids of the state.
UNC has a hard cap for out of state at 18%. Great for instate students but forcing the tuition to go up as well.

McCombs is firmly in the Top 10 undergraduate business schools along with Indiana Kelley and a few others like UNC.
Maybe for undergrad and in specific disciplines but I was referencing overall including Graduate programs. In the end it really comes down to who is ranking who (which service) as they all vary.

Natalie Portman in Professional was very good.
Abigal Breslin in Little Miss Sunshine was outstanding even with such a great cast around her.
Drew Barrymore in ET and Firestarter

Was sort of expecting something like that plus the mother I was ready for her to go.
I would say the death of Hodor was moreso.

Time will tell. Remember Clone Wars was done before Kennedy got involved. SW Rebels she was not involved in nor the new Maul series. All three series he created. Maybe animation is better for him who knows.
All the live action shows he is involved in she was the producer. It could be her influence is just that bad when she is involved.
Without Filoni Ashoka and Thrawn would have never been brought into Canon.

Kennedy has one of the greatest resumes of all time
Her downfall with SW was her arrogance. She believed she could do what Lucas did. Combine that with her insistence of making SW woke killed the franchise.
All she, Disney, or anyone had to do was use what had been created by third parties for the two decades after the original trilogy as the franchise would be pumping out great material for the next century. The moment she declared what was canon and only canon would be used, Star Wars died for the most part.

I always thought Maul was a good character with more to explore.
He has a great arc to follow. I hope someday they can put it all together but not sure if this series will make it to Solo and if it does they will miss a lot.
His cameo happens 10 years from where this show has started and his ending in Rebels is 17 years away.
