Mandalorian: TV Or Not TV?

I have unfortunately had to tell two separate people that The Mandalorian, the Jon Favreau-created Disney + series that appears to cover the backstory of the Stormtroopers from the Star Wars universe, is not going to be on "regular" TV,



Too bad. Looks pretty awesome.



But at least for those who decide to go with Disney+, it will doubtless feel like real TV, as Disney has decided to differentiate its streaming service from Netflix by parceling out its series one episode at a time.



As for me, although Disney+ will be priced at a very enticing $4.99/month when it drops in November, I think I will wait on it.



I've got too much to dive in and catch up on on Netflix.



Seriously.



Martin Scorsese's Irishman?



Eddie Murphy's My Name is Dolemite?



When They See Us?



The Spy, with Sacha Baron Cohen?



But I will keep an eye on it for sure.

The Real Independence Day

23 years after his action classic Independence Day, director Roland Emmerich serves up not aliens but living, breathing humans dealing with the real-life events surrounding the Japanese Pearl Harbor in 1941. Presumably without the excessive mushiness that marred Michael Bay's 2001 handling of much of the same material.



In theatres November 8.

Jojo Rabbit Looks Amazing..





This just may be the movie to let teenagers and young adults understand the dangers of misplaced patriotism by offering a satirical look at 1930s Germany.
