Nah lacrosse would be saying Batman and robin was just as good as the dark knight.

Doctor Strange. Average. Not bad, not particularly good either. Pretty formulaic.

Ok, outside of the visuals, the story is pretty classic, and you can easily guess what will be happening.
The mentor always has to die to leave the place to the trainee that becomes the new master.  It's been like this since forever, or Star Wars, which is the same in my case

At least in star wars they had the valid excuse that the new trainee was the only trainee.
Must suck for those other magic guys to have strange jump the line like this

Galavant was a great little show. My wife and I just finished binge-watching it. Now we're watching Hap and Leonard, which just hit Netflix. That shit is ridiculous. James Purefoy as shitheel Texan with Michael K. Williams as his conservative homosexual black best friend who volunteered to go to Nam. Christina Hendricks as well. Fucking brilliant.

[Berkut]

See, on the one hand your review makes me interested in trying Hap and Leonard.

On the other hand, you started the post by admitting you watched more than 12 minutes of Galavant, so your taste in any kind of show is definitely rather suspect.

Strange jumps over the other candidates because he is an egomaniacal asshole that just has to be the absolute best and cuts corners (i. e. stealing books) in order to achieve that. That was about the most interesting part of the character, but then his conversion towards 100% bland good guy is pretty automatic.

A Serious Man.  Coen brothers flick about Jews being Jewish in 1960s (I think) Indiana.  Not much to this movie.

[Josquius]

Predestination - well that was.... A film. Interesting setting. They've gone for the angle that the film was made in the 50s and melded its vision of the future with actual history.
Very slow alas.

Luke Skywalker has a question in newly revealed Last Jedi footage

[spoiler]"Who are you?" According to reports from a meeting of Disney shareholders, these are the first words spoken onscreen by Luke Skywalker in more than three decades.[/spoiler]

Which immediately raises the question:

[spoiler]is Luke Skywalker a Vorlon, or at least an inquisitor?[/spoiler]

  Nice.  Re-watching the series now for the first time in years.  Into Season 3.  Earthgov is Trumpgov.

Doctor Strange. The best parts were like Escher on acid but the plot was kind of generic.

Whoa, end of the month there's a double feature at the the main arthouse theater here: Flash Gordon and Highlander.  

[Eddie Teach]

Double features go against everything Highlander stands for.
