We ended up seeing this movie a 2nd time.   Still a decent amount of people watching the movie.  Kind of cool to see that a couple months later.  :great:

I heard @mastermario might have seen this movie as well.

This is Definitely a must see film!

General Discussion / The Mandalorian and Grogu
Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 22, 2026, 11:05:12 AM
This is a new movie that's out now!   The Mandalorian and Grogu is the latest Star Wars movie to be released.  Now, I thought this was being released instead of the Mandalorian Season 4.  I HOPE this is not the case and there will someday be a Mandalorian Season 4.  I thought this movie looked a bit different in terms of style but also looks kind of cool - somewhat pumped to see it  :great:

Rotten Tomatoes so far has this respectively at 63% and 89%:

There was once a discussion a LONG time ago at a said place that involved this topic... more specifically around Windows Operating Systems.  The conversation went "is this licensed?" Which was answered "China free."  LOL  :))

It's been a long time since we found anything at a thrift store.  I think the last time we were there a couple years ago, we did find barely used Noritake plates, saucers and cups.  They looked brand new, were $15 something, I believe, and It would've been $200+ to get that set (if I remember correctly when we looked it up).

So far, we haven't added any additional physical media, that I can remember.  We added a bunch at the end of last year and earlier this year.  Taking a bit of a break lol.

I'm currently staring at 4 xbox controllers, all with stick drift. Three of which came with consoles. I currently have more working xbox consoles than controllers, and we're just talking about series x / s stuff. I was lucky to recently get a branded controller for 40 on Amazon and just happen to look and currently see two offering for 45, a shock blue and a volt green, both for xbox one. I'm not certian if there's differences but I've so far used them pretty interchangeably.

Ramble aside, yes sticker shocked. add three players to your switch and you have nearly bought another one. Nintendo and Playstation peripherals are insane. Xbox can be but for the moment has had decent sales.

Solid grabs.

I love finding movies at thrift and used book stores in the 1 to $5 range.

you know what's crazy about that?   There was a coupon for that... and now, that's basically the standard price.  I wonder how long that price will last - IE until it is sold out or what.

Good choice on that game.  If you get it and decide to crack it open, it's fun lol  :))

It has been a while since I posted up my accumulation of DVDs. Just trying to get caught up. Not sure this is everything. Anytime I see something for $4 or $5 I grab it up.

Zathura- the name got cut off in my photo skills. I find it a very fun movie.
The Batman- I haven't found the time to sit down and watch this, it is almost three hours long. I didn't know that.
The dark tower- came in a paper sleeve, so I got creative. I found this to be a good movie. I enjoyed it.
Bumblebee- I really liked this movie even though it followed an old "Disney cookie cutter pattern." One of those feel good movies using the transformers as an add on like a dog, horse, cat, Herbie VW, etc, to compliment the main star, the girl. Bumblebee a supporting actor?
Hellfighter- hadn't watched it yet, but it is a John Wayne movie. What can I say?

Then there are those 50's and 60's scifi "B" movies. I am a sucker for those things from my childhood. I like a lot of those things. Loved the imagination and creativity they had back then.

Snow White- they had it up for a dollar brand new still sealed. I put it on watch and they offered it to me for a dollar. Shipping was $5. I couldn't resist, and my Wife and I like this sort of stuff. And the one beside it was another cheap pick up.

I am really motivated to grab DVDs and Blu Rays, and even some 4K. I got a Panasonic 4K player about a week ago. My motivation comes from Disney getting rid of its media division. It has some people that love physical media in panic mode. There was a lot of stuff planned that have been canceled for physical media. Disney wants you subscribed to Disney plus rather than owning it. When they acquired FOX they sit on a lot of stuff and never brought it out on DVD or Blu ray.  I lot of stuff never made it to Blu ray that many were waiting for, and it will never be on 4K.

China has their work cut out for them. Because if you don't do it, they will.. :))
