TV/Movies Megathread

Seems likely.

He had (at least) one movie release per year from 1995 - 2016,

So 2-3 months working and the rest of the year enjoying his money. 

Some actors like to keep busy even after they've made it, and they'll get 4-6 credits a year.

You also have to add all the promotion tours in that time. After 20 years, I can guess appearing in every talk show in every corner in the world (he comes to Spain to promote almost every movie he does, for example) can get very old.

I mean, he leads a blessed life, but I can see why he would dial it down after a while. He's already a millionaire afterall.

A listers don't do that many movies per year, if they do several quite probably they'll only be doing secondary characters. Besides it's not just the time shooting the film, but also doing promotion for it that has to be taken into account.

Yeah, there's the whole talk show circuit, in the U.S. and abroad, plus premieres to attend, plus other promo events. I'm betting travel time takes up a lot of their schedule.

After watching Jesse Cox' excellent South Park Stick of Truth playthrough, I've started watching South Park, season 1. I've never actively avoided the series; it's just that when it came out it was shoddily dubbed. I later caught a few episodes here and there.

Half way through season 1, and I like it, though thanks to the internet it doesn't feel as transgressive as it might have been when those episodes originally aired, ca. 20 years ago.

I finished binge watching Star Wars Rebels last night (the eps are so short that the whole affair takes like 4-5 hours). It's decent if you're a Star Wars junkie (like I am). I don't doubt that if I was 12 I'd have loved it.

I was slightly pissed that... [spoiler]the great reveal of who's the rebel mastermind ends up being Bail Organa. Who gives a shit about Bail Organa?[/spoiler]

The end of season cliffhanger is good enough that I'll at least check the first eps of the next season when they are available in Spain.

[spoiler] BAIL ORGANA???!! [/spoiler]

Wasn't the bigger reveal that the mysterious Fulcrum is [spoiler]Ahsoka Tano?[/spoiler]

Don't think he's seen the Clone Wars, so that wouldn't mean anything to him.

Definitely should see it. After all, it's a show for children!

[celedhring]

Indeed, I haven't seen the Clone Wars, so I have no idea whether that Fulcrum character is actually somebody.

I have ended up enjoying Rebels somewhat, particularly the later episodes, so I might dare check Clone Wars out, too.

[Syt]

A few key characters from Clone Wars appear again in Rebels season 2, so at least reading up on some of the characters might be a good idea.

[celedhring]

Ok, it seems my employer has the Spanish rights of The Clone Wars too. I hope they don't start wondering why am I suddenly asking to watch so many kiddie series for "research".

[celedhring]

Of course, unless The Force Awakens sucks and sours me on everything Star Wars... until the next one comes out.

[Syt]

Clone Wars is 121 episodes. You can binge watch in a nonstop 48 hour session.
