My rankings:

Star Wars - 10/10 - I can watch this over and over again and I still love it

Empire Strikes Back - 10/10 - Probably the best sequel ever made, incredible cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more

Return of the Jedi - 9/10 - Fitting conclusion, loses a point for some lame shit on Endor but otherwise awesome

Revenge of the Sith - 8/10 - I really like this movie, it has a bunch of dumb shit in it too, but antics of the emperor makes it endlessly rewatchable

Attack of the Clones - 6/10 - Terrible acting and writing, but still fun to watch because of how bad and laughable it is

Phantom Menace - 6/10 - Had it's moments, the kid is terrible but I don't mind Jar Jar as much anymore after seeing how bad things would get in the future

Rogue One - 6/10 - Easily the best of the fan fiction era (Disney), stupid ending and forgettable characters though

Solo - 5/10 - Mediocre but not offensive, wasn't expecting much at this point

Force Awakens - 4/10 - The first 20 minutes are actually very, very good (intro to the characters) but it quickly goes downhill from there and the next movie throws away all the setups.   Initially I rated it more like a 7/10, but after the next film...

The Last Coward - 0/10 - Turning Luke into a traitor and pissing all over the previous movies and characters makes me no longer care about "Star Wars" (Disney fan fiction)

Rise of the Skywalker - ? - Haven't seen it, can't imagine it's worse than Last Coward

Nailed it!

I would give Rise of Skywalker a 2. It is a JJ Abrams movie after, he only knows how to make schlocky incoherent movies.

I think my game collecting (and serious enthusiasm) ends with the Switch.  I'm drawing an arbitrary line in the sand and will continue to try and play through all notable titles that were released up until that point.  But anything after that will be for my kids.  So I'll have an excuse to buy them a new console and Zelda, and maybe try it out myself.  But I'm out.  Otherwise the goalposts will only continue to move faster than I can keep up.

I hear you. I am already mostly out of modern gaming. Only have a Switch and launch PS4. As Murtaugh said I’m to old for this shit. 

A solid 5. I only like the first album and a few other songs. They were pretty average when I saw them live.

This would totally bum me out, but at least it's a game that has a ton of replay value if you're not totally disheartened.

I will play it again. I have other games to finish now though. Then by time I get back to Outer Worlds maybe that glitch will be patched out.   

Almost completed Fallen Order. A pretty good game. Playing on a base PS4 it does tend to have the freezing while loading issue on Kashyyyk. Haven’t noticed this issue on the other planets. 

Speaking of glitches I got to the final level on Outer Worlds and had to quit. When I came back a few hours later none of my saves will load. Even saves not on the last level. 

You guys convinced me to giving MMT a proper listen. I don’t know what my aversion was, must have been the cover art. It was quite good. I really enjoyed “Fool on the Hill” and “Your Mother Should Know.” 

My goal is also health related. I plan to get my personal food production to over half of the food I eat. To include my garden and livestock. 

If you have a lot of time a straight razor is the best quality shave. For everyday use I found the Schick Hydro 3 to be a decent shave. This is after trying multiple different razor types and brands.

This I get.  I can completely understand the distaste for that stuff, trust me.  I dont like EVERYTHING they did either, mostly the early stuff.  But for anyone to say they were overrated doesn't understand the extreme impact they had in all elements of music.  They basically help start the metal genre by influencing Black Sabbath.  Mainly Ozzy.  Theres a great clip from Howard Stern where I think Ozzy AND Paul McCartney are on the same show and when Ozzy meets Paul he gets basically starstruck.  

 

Tony Iomi has also talked about The Beatles being an influence on them.  

I voted 8 because I love their music, but there is a lot of filler. My most listened to albums are Rubber Soul, Abbey Road, White Album, and Revolver. I can do without Magical Mystery Tour all together. Then the first few albums are just ok for a radio listen. 

Now back to the music

A few more choice songs.

Playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on Switch lately. It's been pretty good so far. I love the diverse cast that they gave us.

I thought MU3 was as good as 2. I enjoyed them both. Still not as good as UA one or X-Men Legends. UA 2 and 3 took away a lot of the customization that UA and X-Men Legends had.

We will play Majoras Mask together than. I haven't played because I couldn't pay for the expansion pack for one game on principal.  I finally broke down and bought The Collectors Edition for the Gamecube. I hope it is the Zelda game I have been waiting for!

Good luck! Use a guide it helps quite a bit. I just recently played through Majora’s Mask. The last time I played was when it was new. The best I can say about the game is that it is weirdly unique.

Probably closer to 1, just did the math.  I drink about 8 16.9 oz water bottles a day (continually refill it) which is 135.2 ounces and a gallon is 128.  It's really not that much once you're used to it, I've done it as long as I can remember at this point.

What I found was 4-5 liters is a pretty good average for me. I have a liter bottle that I carry around with me at work. I drink black(nothing added) coffee in the morning. 

What is all this Monkees talk? Damn hipsters. The Monkees couldn’t write songs like these.

8/10 They may be overrated to the hipster crowd, but The Beatles is still a recognizable name. I haven’t listened to the Beatles in a good while, but I can still sing a large number of songs. That is good catchy song writing. 

Is this out on bluray yet? I missed it in theaters, it wasn’t played in the local ones. 

I mirror RH on this. I also have launch copies of Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64 that I bought at Toys R Us on launch day. They have no Gameshark codes included with the games or system. Was that a retail or regional exclusive? 

JJ Abrams makes terrible movies and tv. After the mess of Lost and Cloverfield I will not watch anything that JJ puts his name to. 

Another thing that helps me make good food choices. I grow and raise as much of my own food as possible. 

I am about to give up on Harry Potter. Harry is a total meat head, who can’t figure out the completely obvious even after experiencing similar happenings. The last half of Order of the Phoenix was just Harry angrily yelling at and creating drama with everyone. Currently 26 chapters into Half-Blood Prince and it is just more of the same high drama. Way too much drama for me. 

Well back to continuing through the R.A. Salvatore books. 

I do three set(at least 50 per set) of pushups as part of my routine every morning. I am usually active at work and I own a small farm. Living out in the country has really been good for my health and physical fitness. Much better than apartment living in LA was, at any rate. 

I always thought the Xbox S controller is one of the better console controllers. It has a good weight to and the triggers are much better placed than a playstation controller. The S appears to be what the Switch pro controller is modeled after also.   

If they put codes in games, it is all good also. 

1000+ is daunting, but Xbox and PS2 is mostly cheap. Around here you can still go to a used game and movie store and buy 5 for $10. That will go a long way to clean up commons. Some will even throw in extra sports games just to unload them. 

That being said I do agree that you should not set collect disc based systems. Just buy the games you want to play. From PS1 on there was a lot of filler.
