Mandalorian and Boba Fett Book of ... jacking up some stuff

 Pretty darn sure the lizardlike Trandoshans (Bossk) are just as strong as a wookie. Well the black and grey wookie kicked the butts of 5 or so of them. Wrong. And I don't like the way they have different kinds of fingers... they should all be like Bossk. Subspecies or whatever, sure. 

And ... the dent in Boba's helmet. This site says it was a mistake, a bubble in the thingie. But that historic video about Fett on Disney+ ... the guy said he heated up the plastic and scarred it up on purpose (the dent though). Well I can't see a dent on these pictures, and dont remember the white Fett having them in the video.

Old TV memory, maybe Space 1999 monster

 Google Space 1999 monster and youll see a couple of green headed dudes. I have some faint memory of a short green monster in a white hallway from around 1977 or so. I think it faded in and out of existence. Dont think was buck rogers. 

How about this site:

Thoughts - Buildings vs. the planet

A translation was about a “ Place of establishment”. Watching cowboy beebop. Casino in space thing edpisode 3  Some  criminal’s building is what it means here. 

So what is a plzce of est anyway?

A building. Where you are sort of trapped. Buildings sprang up from homes. Homes were places you could be safe from the elements and animals. 

People are so addicted to indoor spaces now, that most stay inside over 95 percent of their day. Healthy?

And the wild places of the planet are being destroyed for more buildings, more roads, more cement. 

Update Feb 2024: So one thing that makes me crazy... why is it that manmade buildings, roads, etc. just look worse and worse every year? Takes constant upkeep. But you let a mountain, a forest, a stream run wild and age and it just gets better over time. You know castles aren't too bad, they tend to look better with a couple of hundred years on them... but they definitely have limits, too.

The Terminator - Missing Eyebrows


 Was fun to watch Terminator 2, then The Terminator (original) right after. There were so many little nods to the first like, the ripping off the steering column to hotwire the car vs. the kid showing him keys above the visor. 

Also interesting the 3 actors in The Terminator also in Aliens, like Lance Hendrickson. And the future scenes very reminiscent of Aliens… similar models or special effects artists/feel?? 

But one thing stands out as goofy. Arnold suddenly loses eyebrows (and gains prosthetics over his eyebrow area) halfway throuh the movie a little while before the eye cut scene. Maybe they thought it’d make him seem inhuman in a subtle way, but it was just weird for me. Did this influence all the Japanese bad guys not having eyebrows thing??? (Update, apparently the fire in an earlier scene burns off his eyebrows and shortens his hair. Reducing his humaness in parts and pieces as the movie goes on.)
