Unless he’s now managing that person. Then it’s industry! Don’t mind us, we are just out here creating jobs.
I really hated Steinbeck because of required reading in school. I’d decried him at every opportunity since. I dunno what made me take a third chance a few years ago, or honestly a proper chance of my own choosing, but I somehow landed on East of Eden. The book did not disappoint; I was deeply engrossed in it from start to finish. Five stars from me (which I don’t do often) and I really hope you enjoy it.
The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester
The original cyberpunk story.

Great book. I’m afraid he learned the wrong lesson though.

I mean you’re right. I still say you can’t say it’s “the best Star Wars has ever been” because the OG trilogy was genre defining and ground breaking. Andor is “just” a really good show.
Yea… there’s no way a tv show is better than a film. No matter how great a show is, there is inevitably padding, stretching, and pacing issues. At least let a release simmer a little bit in the cultural ether before you start making statements that it’s better than a movie still held in the highest regard 50 years later.

falidorn@lemmy.worldto Movies@lemmy.world•What is your favorite Akira Kurosawa movie?English13·16 days agoThree of his movies are my favorites though I haven’t seen anything of his short of great yet.
Yojimbo (1961)
Mifune is probably at his coolest here. An action-comedy that plays with every bit of a small town.
Rashomon (1950)
Groundbreaking and yet it still holds up completely. Incredible use of weather.
Ran (1985)
If you had to press me, I’d say this is my favorite simply because of his incredible use of color.
Because Return is the “worst” of the trilogy. Also, any top list with Melissa McCarthy in it is immediately invalidated.
