Okay super late to the party. My kids have been obsessed with Kpop Demon hunters, finally got to watch it. My goodness. What a triumph. They don’t know what a gift this movie is yet. ❤️❤️❤️

Did a trail race in Montagu over the weekend. Stunning mountains!
Treated to perfect clear winter weather too.
Bonus, found another fellow minimalist runner among the crowd. Legend!

Huh... just realized we do explore this in Rebels with Kanan & Hera. Except in Rebels it felt a lot more nuanced & impactful. Kanan wrestled forever with his "destiny" and what the force was guiding him towards. Hera chose to be a part of the rebellion regardless. They were in it together.
I wanted more internal conflict on why Cassian becomes his final self in Rogue One. We had the best setup ever with Bix, and Luthen's death and questions around the past, loyalty, fate & love. But instead it fell flat and Cassian is doomed to die without knowing the love of a child.

Complicated review on Andor S2 finale below. #Andor #Spoilers.

If the goal of Andor was to make Rogue One better, it actually had the reverse effect for me. I watched Rogue One again ahead of Season 2, and felt the weight of it all, now it feels flat, mostly due to final two episodes.

Pop culture has always been a stage where society’s ideals & values are contested, and my goodness is Andor making a statement. In awe of this show. Yes there’s flaws, but so happy to see a show so full of clarity. So lucky to witness this.

Finished the first three episodes of Andor S2. The execution is just out of this world. Production, editing, acting, story, impact, music, emotion etc. Can’t believe I get to watch this. Wow.

Rewatched Rogue One ahead
of Andor Season 2. Haven’t rewatched it since release (I know 🙈). Much better than I remember. Wow. Haunting and so intense.

Saw the Minecraft Movie with my oldest today. Fun time out. A joy to nerd out with my kids as they get older. Looking forward to many more of these.
