Listen. Listen. I've never liked Han Solo. (And before you go blasting off to leave a comment and berate me because he's So Iconic or So Awesome or So Charismatic or Harrison Ford Is So Dreamy, know this: you, specifically, are part of the problem. Let me dislike him in peace.)

So it really should come as no surprise that it has taken me this long to finally watch Solo, nor that I didn't like the movie.

Well, okay, that's a bit harsh. Isn't not that I didn't like the movie as a whole. I have no strong feelings about the movie as a whole. It's a very bland, forgettable movie. There are some good visuals, and Lando is a treat. The plot is one of the more solid ones, and the world building itself wasn't bad. The rest of my issues are as follows, in moderately chronological order:

Anyway the moral of this story is that I don't give a shit about Han Solo and I extra don't give a shit about his painfully mediocre "origin story movie" and I want to scream, loudly and at length, at the inclusion of so very many distasteful tropes and otherwise sub-par storytelling.

Fuck.

I'm rewatching Doctor Who for the first time since high school and honestly? I would like to extend a personal fuck you to Moffat for ruining this show for me, I'm having a great time. (Relatedly: superwholock can also eat my ass for being Like That, causing me to cringe away from the show long before it really ground itself into the ground) I'd forgotten how much fun this show is. There's a sweetness here, a light cheesiness and a pure joy that I had forgotten about. It's kinder, too, than I remember it being. It definitely hearkens back to an older style of scifi, an era before the grimdark revolution in storytelling.
