This series is a pathetic attempt to shake every possible dime off an incredible 90s film.

The actor of the Louis (which is of course now black) does not have one 10th of Brad's talent. We grow so tired of the same old cashgrab race-swap story, its Marvel, it's Disney, and its side leftovers such as this forgetable series that not only won't stand the test of time but also not stand the test of next year.

This kind of series goes to show how amazing the original movie was, that horrible companies still try to mimic it to this day.

How about trying to create something original? Something new... Without riding on a horse that would rather die than carry this kind of lazy writing. Poor, very poor indeed.

I will say one thing... No movie has ever made me so sad before. Unfortunately it wasn't the movie itself that contains sadness or any other emotions, but the utter destruction of the magic that Star Wars had.

The original trilogy did something very rare, it somehow captured magic, truly! You can still feel it today. In truth, new movies shouldn't really have the ability to destroy the magic of older ones... But if you continue to pile trash over diamonds, eventually their shine will be lost to the world.

I still had some hope after Force Awakens, I'm not ever sure why (as it was really bad in itself) but I guess that JJ at least had some respect for the original trilogy. He tried his best to make a movie that feeds the shrinking attention span minds of the new generations, and with that he succeeded... While putting in motion a wrecking ball that is The Last Jedi.

Where Force Awakens succeeded, The Last Jedi excelled and took it to a whole other level. It was a total home run, a once in a lifetime masterpiece for new generation kids who live on junk food and cheap thrills. Last Jedi was Fast and Furious in space, only so much better. And at the same time it was also the biggest insult that any sequel movie has ever given it's prequels before.

Do you know those moments in Fast and Furious after some character does something cool and they dramatically zoom-in to show insanely cool facial expressions? Kids will be happy to know that The Last Jedi has endless ammounts of such awesome zoom-ins!

From rarely capturable magic to a complete empty non-stop immediate gratification cheap thrill.

I am heartbroken for all true fans of Star Wars, this is a sad moment. Disney has taken a legend and turned it into a drug for teenagers, the next trilogy will be the drug for the next generation of teenagers, and so on, for as long as they can milk it, until any shred of dignity is lost even from the memory of the original trilogy. Making more money for people who are already beyond wealthy, while trampling all over something that actually has some real goodness in it.

It is also shocking to see the ranking the movie gets in all major websites. I don't know what else to say...

I was about 10 years old when I first watched Lonesome Dove.

My parents were away, working hard to provide for our family, and I was left at home with a few channel. To my blessed luck, Lonesome Dove aired in one of those channels. I watched the first part, and counted the days, hours, moments, for next week's part. I was only 10, but I knew I was struck by something meaningful... Among all the junk that was being aired in between, all the TV reporting of wars in my country, all the political corruption I cared nothing about... I will tell you this: Lonesome Dove gave me faith in humanity.

To this day, I can say this was the only cinematic film to ever truly touch my heart. I have seen many films/series since, but none has made an impact as beautiful and true as Lonesome Dove.

Gus and Call's friendship in this 4part masterpiece, has defined my very idea of what friendship could look like in real life.

Today I have a couple of dear friends. People I enjoy sharing my life with. People I'd follow to the ends of the earth if asked. And remembering dear old Gus and Call's journey, is something that brings tears to my eyes. For me... it was real. For me, their friendship was a lighthouse of hope. It was shining the words: "Never give up on your brothers and sisters, they are your light in the darkness".

To friendship!
