The Disney Star Wars trilogy has divided the fans of the original movies into many camps. No other movie is more divisive of the fans than The Last Jedi. Many fans did not care for Rian Johnson's subversion of expectations and a measuring contest with J.J. Abrams. The Last Jedi closed many of the things The Force Awakens left open, perhaps the most egregious being the removal of Snoke which left a hole were the main antagonist had been. Once people watched The Last Jedi, many wondered where the story could go next. Was the Disney Star Wars trilogy actually over now?
Enter The Rise Of Skywalker.
J.J. Abrams retconned and undid many of the failings of The Last Jedi. So much was rushed and packed into The Rise of Skywalker, many viewers left the theater out of breath. Once she had taken the last movie of the Disney Star Wars trilogy in, Donna Dickens returned to The Last Jedi and re-evaluated the movie Rian Johnson had created. Through the backward lens of hindsight, Donn Dickens was able to appreciate the Last Jedi in a new light, including learning to love old grumpy cat Luke Skywalker. So much so, she wrote a blog post about the experience, using Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the B*mb as inspiration for the title. By the way, if you have not seen Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the B*mb, you do owe it to yourself to watch it. Peter Sellers is fantastic.
Join along as Brainmuffin reads Donna Dickens' article about what she now sees in The Last Jedi. Is she reading too much into the Rian Johnson film? Are these connections with the Rise of Skywalker and the Force Awakens really in the film? Are these connections nothing more than well created fan fiction to help understand a horribly written and edited movie? Are Rian Johnson's subversion of expectations brilliant plot devices or should they be seen as incoherent ramblings of a mad man? Listen to Brainmuffin read the article and leave your feedback in the comments.
Donna Dickens article might push too far into Star Wars explained, though she does let JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson's movies align more than many fans, most notably Geeks and Gamers, allows. Kathleen Kennedy was the overseer of the sequel Star Wars trilogy and she approved the approaches and the stories. Kathleen Kennedy fired nearly as many directors as who finished their movies. The ride through the new Star Wars era has been and odd one. While the movies brought in good money, except Solo: A Star Wars Story, the merchandise sales have plummeted to all time lows and Disney is not getting the money they expected when they bought the cash cow from George Lucas.

Black Panther has already been a part of the MCU and Captain Marvel was the first one lead by a female character. Yes, Elektra came out years ago and Jennifer Garner was the lead, but that is not an MCU movie. Brie Larson does not think that Marvel is pushing the Diversity quota quickly enough and wants them to speed things up. Will Marvel finally give Dust her own movie? What diversity box should be checked next? First gay male lead? First Muslim woman superhero? First gay trans handicapped hero? Please tell us Brie Larson.

Linux on the Desktop has long been maligned and neglected by "real" software development houses. While Linux has made many strides in gaming and performance, it has finally been given a small step of legitimacy. Microsoft has announced that Office Teams will be available for RedHat and Debian based distributions of Linux. Microsoft also owns GitHub and TFS supports Git. Could the next release from Microsoft for Linux be Visual Studio?

Smoothie King Chocolate Gladiator is more than a flavor in the store. The protein powder is available for sale. The recipe for the popular smoothie includes fruits, nuts, and other additives. Underneath it all is the chocolate protein powder, but how good does it taste? Time for a protein powder review and live taste test.
Bryon Lape reviews the Smoothie King Chocolate Gladiator protein powder. The packet of protein powder was purchased at a Smoothie King in Fairfield, Ohio. Large tubs of the protein powder can also be purchased in your local Smoothie King store. There are three flavors of Smoothie King Gladiator protein powders.
Smoothie King does have some Keto Smoothie recipes available. The protein powder itself is very low in sugar and the Gladiator smoothie itself does not have much. Kick your favorite keto smoothie up a notch by adding Gladiator protein powder.
