Hi Katy - reading up on these myself, pre-Nolan summer.

The Emily Wilson 2018 translation is excellent and super clear. (Norton books)

The Gareth Hinds graphic novel is also excellent - and extremely faithful to the text, though does have a little inevitable blood/violence in it.

Hope that helps!

Been off the Star Wars train since I walked out of Rise of Skywalker 20 mins in, hate the tv stuff, BUT I don’t even think of Andor as Star Wars. It’s Battle of Algiers meets Army of Shadows in space with a Lawrence of Arabia budget and insane depth and scope. Absolutely stunning stuff.

Anyone putting 2010’s thoroughly mediocre Predators above any of the Trachtenberg joints (Prey, Badlands, Killer of Killers) should immediately have their Predator card revoked. (Cough Indiewire cough).

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids β€” but also endangering Jews across the globe.

Well, the least visually interesting least well directed entry with the least interesting set pieces won, in a series famous for its excellent direction and set pieces. Screen drafts gonna screen draft.

I think it’s an extremely effective trailer, and the prevailing opinion online seems to be overwhelming enthusiasm πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Possibly the greatest film poster ever designed, and they went with that. Truly baffling.

Miami Vice reboot - If Kosinski is recasting Crocket & Tubbs, Austin Butler & Daniel Kaluuya is about as cool as it gets.

Sinners is automatically best movie of the decade so far, up there with best of all time. Just stunning king shit every thrilling second of screen time.
