After careful consideration, I have decided to not add anything to my quick thoughts about The Last Jedi. I don't think that would be very fruitful or interesting. Yes, the film is entertaining fluff, and yes, it is not a very good movie. Kudos to all you, who manage to have Opinions and Points of Views, you are occasionally funny, insigthful and darn good at that. And at times, just silly.
Unfortunately, I have found out that I've become a petty curmudgeon. I haven't really been all that enthusiastic about anything recent, be it literature, fillum, tv series or comics. Or fannish things in general. I see too many negatives, faults and (probably very) minor details that don't allow me to just enjoy my entertainment pleasure. That's pretty #sad.
I blame the getting older -bit and my burnout with W75. And especially this general "getting tired of the way the world is going to Hell fast" -atmosphere we have going on. There should be more joyous things. Fun, laughter and merriment. I want to have that in my life.
So, I better stop grumbling and feeling sorry for myself. I need to start enjoying my life. After all, I have a wonderful partner, two stopid fun dogs, a good job and frieds, whom I see and talk to far too seldom. Let's do something fun! Who wants to go to Vinter 2018? I hear February is really nice in Uppsala.
Vinter in Uppsala is probably going to be abfab! Unfortunately I don’t think they’ll let me have vacation in February, but for my part there is allways Åcon and maybe Swecon too, and of course Finncon!
