Movie Favorite

"My current favorite Fassbinder film. A love story against all odds—the age difference is quite outrageous. Who would make a film like this now, about an older, somewhat stolid woman who finds unexpected happiness, for a time, with a handsome, younger Moroccan immigrant? Fassbinder walks a tightrope—it feels real and unsentimental, and he doesn’t shy away from cruelty, but he truly earns Emmi’s words to Ali: “Together we’re strong.” I admire the economy of the storytelling. The repetition of scenes (even camera angles)—when Emmi walks into the bar or sits on the stairwell eating her lunch—gives the film a fated quality. And I love the many strange moments when time stands still and everyone just stands there looking!"

Very colorful
Good instructions
Co-operative puzzle fun
I am not a fan of real-time games. My daughter however loves this logic puzzle real-time game. So she asks to play it quite a bit. It is a co-operative game where you fulfill cupcake orders together. Well you match the cupcake liners anyway. It is a very cute game, the colors are distinct enough we haven't gotten them mixed up. This may not be a color-blind friendly game, but the cupcake liners are different sizes as well, so that may be enough to make a difference. Overall, there is not much to dislike, but everyone has differing tastes. For our family this one will stick around.

May the force be with you
So just finished this shortly after seeing the two series of The Mandalorian. Thankfully this is more in keeping with the feel of the 2nd series of The Mandalorian.
It's on a big scale, big battles and sets and most importantly key characters are back. The overall cast is very good but it's a big difference to have the actors from the films showing again. Very glad James Earl Jones is the voice of Vader again.
Set 10 years after The Revenge of the Sith it sits nicely between that and A New Hope. If you are a Star Wars fan I can't see how you cannot like this.
