@Rachel_Thorn I liked Eternals better on my 2nd viewing, when I wasn't trying to figure out who was who and what was going on.

The Gorn first appeared in "Arena."

#MoonKnight Overall I enjoyed it. It was intriguing but also confusing for those not familiar w the comic. After Episode 4 I did research into Marc Spector's history & learned about Jake so mid-credits scene was not a surprise - esp since they showed the shaking sarcophagus in the recap.

Anyone else feel like something was missing? Maybe context of how it fits into #MCU?

So many questions. If avatars can get powers from gods/goddesses like Moon Knight & whatever Layla turned into why didn't those other avatars get into their costumes and fight Harrow in the pyramid? And speaking of Layla, why would a hippo goddess avatar have wings?

I never quite understood why Harrow put broken glass in his shoes in that 1st scene. His version of penance? Do the bleeding feet mean the gods no longer accept his penance? But wasn't that scene in the mental hospital still in Mark/Steven's mind? But didn't the bleeding let Mark/Steven know that it wasn't real? 🀯

@rjrjr I did but I'm a bit old school in that I don't mind the pops and crackles of LPs and don't mind watching movies in non-4K.

Morning all! If there is anyone else using #Duolingo to learn languages, you can add me as a friend if you want. I’m currently learning Ukrainian. Other languages I have worked on (but not completed in the app) are German, Greek, Latin, and Irish Gaeilge. I’ve also learned some Norwegian, Spanish and French through other means.

@rjrjr Ooooh, I didn't know about this version! I'll have to see what torrents are out there. Thanks!

@kiwi2002 I love my childhood Star Wars memories. My dad likes to tell the story of when we saw The Empire Strikes Back and he didn't think I liked it, but after the movie I explained that I didn't appreciate them trying to pass off Bert from Sesame Street as that Yoda guy. πŸ˜†β€‹

I saw Return of the Jedi the day it came out - a Wednesday after school! - and when I got home I immediately told my sister that Darth Vader was indeed Luke's father. She has never forgiven me. I proceeded to see VI in theaters 5 more times that summer. Back in those days it was easy to go to the bathroom after the movie and hang out for a minute, then go back into the theater for the next showing.

As for Star Trek - some of my earliest memories are watching syndicated episodes of TOS with my dad and humming along to the theme song.

#MayTheFourthBeWithYou

It dawned on me that I didn't put #StarWars in my #introduction or my profile. I've always liked it - I saw Eps IV, V, & VI in theaters during their original runs - but I never really considered myself part of the fandom since I didn't get into the video games or expanded universe.

Then I found myself giving an impassioned speech about why #Hanshotfirst...

...and I realized I kept VHS versions of the original trilogy because even though I had the 1997 Special Edition abominations I wanted the theatrical releases...

...and I also owned the 2004 DVD trilogy release because it included the original theatrical versions but still kept the VHS tapes...

...and I had DVDs of Hardware Wars & the animated microseries Star Wars: Clone Wars...

And so on.

I shouldn't discount my fandoms because I don't participate in all variations. I never got through all of Enterprise & haven't seen Discovery but I still consider myself a #StarTrek fan.

Updating my profile now.

Some people ask about how to get "verified" on #Mastodon but...

We do NOT have such a thing! Mastodon and the Fediverse is mainly about a social experience with a good privacy system. This includes to keep as less (sensitive) data as we can on every one of you!

We are no Twitter, we do not want personal documents or data! Everyone on Mastodon is the same "rank". There are many other ways people can prove who they are by posting from their Twitter for example! β€‹

Please, do not send any personal data to us, we will delete this right away. Privacy first! πŸ”’

If you do want a verified icon, you can simply add a custom emoji in your display name with a shortcode β€‹β€‹

I've secured my tickets for #DoctorStrange for Saturday at noon, so I only need to avoid spoilers for 36 hours.

It will be my first time in a theater since December 2019, when I saw Rise of Skywalker.
