It’s been a while since I posted here, which is really stupid of me, but I’m going to try to change that in the new year by adding content other than widescreen.org podcasts. I’ve been getting more into 3D CAD and such, so this would be a good outlet for that.
I’ve seen The Rise of Skywalker and … it’s complicated. It’s an amazing, fun, and thrilling ride; but at the same time I’m absolutely furious with the bullshit direction that J.J. Abrams took with it. It’s a great popcorn flick, but it’s an indescribably clichéd and infuriating way to end a 42-year saga. I discuss why in the podcast.
