I liked it too. It was better than I was expecting. Only thing that I thought might make it better was if they had dubbed Ford's voice over the other actor's.

Yeah, but the possibility for sequels, the Falcon hasn't got it's nose yet, Chewies got circular widgets on Chewies bandoleer. What happens to Queen of Dragons...

We're lucky that that Donald Glover was in the movie! (and Paul Bettany and Emilia Clark).
I did not found that Alden Ehrenreich portrayed Solo in a good manner.
I'd rather be phishing!

Yeah Donald Glover was a good choice for Lando 'the early years' Ahh thank you I was trying to remember her name. I mean 'Mother of Dragons' was easier to workout rather than Thing Clarke who was in Game of Thrones!

LOL, I thought I forgot something about the Solo movie there.

Yeah expectations have been on the low side lately. Can't wait for Jar Jar Binks a star wars story.

That could actually be the first real surprise[^].
Jar Jar Binks. Sith Lord.
It would really work, especially how easily this goofy character can be turned into a total creep.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Too late. Just watch this episode (Clonewars): Bombad Jedi | Wookieepedia[^]
Just look at that picture of him with the Jedi robe.

Did you put off watching initially for some reason, or just didn't feel like it? After The Last Jedi, I sort of completely lost interest in the franchise. I've never watched Solo, and never felt like watching. And I still don't. I used to think this indifference would fade with time, but it still hasn't. Wonder if I'll even feel like watching Episode 9 when it's out.

I felt the same, It was a classic meet at the flat go out for a meal & drinks as it was a friends birthday. It was raining and not very inviting outside weather wise so time needed to wasted going through the Prime account of my flat mate we found Solo and watched it, retored my faith some what...like Rouge One but the end was not as obvious (the two stand alone movies I think have been better than the sequels)...

Hi all!
I think I need some help in navigating the incredibly huge sea of web technologies that have appeared in the last years - it has been a while since I had the time to actually study newish frameworks and products.
My job consists mostly of LoB applications, so until now I have found myself very comfortable with ASP.net Web Forms, WCF for AJAX interactions, a little bit of jQuery and ADO.net for database access - trying to keep it simple on the client side and have most of the work done on the server side. To achieve a 'modern' look I use the DevExpress Web Forms controls, and that's pretty much it.
It feels, however, like I'm missing something. Everybody is talking about different approaches but they all seem like huge steps backwards to me. I can't honestly believe people are more productive this way.
- ASP.net MVC? Yeah, just put some server side code alongside HTML. Back in my days we called that Classic ASP, and we hated it. Bonus hell points: video tutorials.
- Data binding? Yeah, bind everything to a EF context, you get IQueryables, it's fast! Oh, you need to call an API? Tough luck... no data binding for you. Back to ObjectDataSources!
- Bah! HTML5 and JS is all you need! Just use server side code for your APIs and learn to love
Angular/KnockoutJS/SoupOfTheDay and AJAX calls! Yep, until the devil finds you in the 666th level of callback nesting. Oh, and no strict typing for you - I swear, you don't need it. Except when you need it, and it's in production, and you got screwed by something that in server side code would have never happened. More bonus hell points: huge javascript files with very little editor support.
There MUST be some secret that all of the fancy web dev are hiding from me. Like, you know, a C# client side variant that gets compiled to JavaScript, has some DOM manipulation helpers and lets us avoid all of this mess. Bonus points if the examples' code works, because most of the other technologies' tutorial are either 'a) Dumbed down beyond the point of usefulness' or 'b) Outdated and just plain not working without the exact balance of dependencies and API keys and the right moon phase'. Is there a single tutorial that builds a real LoB application? I swear, I only need authentication, authorization, some attention to security and invoking web services. And some UI like forms, popup dialogs and toolbars.
This is becoming a rant and I didn't really want that. I really think this is my fault. I just don't know where to start - and be productive with a simple but complete web app. I like having web services for application logic. I am ready to ditch Web Forms. I just don't want to lose my time again and again. Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance
Luca

I was hoping to help you and started reading your post.
Unfortunately about two lines into your post, my something in my head went BAZZZINGA!! and it was all downhill from there (hint: I'm of no use to you).
When I read this line, there was a conversation of this sort in my head:
Luca Leonardo Scorcia wrote: My job consists mostly of LoB applications
Mind: There are LoB applications, Rajesh.
Me: Yeah?
Mind: LoB applications, there are; you stupid twonk. Also, your mouth is open, Rajesh. Close it.
Me: Mate, th...
Mind: STOP IT! This from a guy who thinks his knowledge is out of date. And you don't even know what's an LoB application. When are you going to ask for help?
Me: Hmm?!
Mind: When are you going to build an LoB application?!
Me: [Grabs the sandwich from the side table]
Mind: Yeah, that's right. Keep eating. Would you like fries with that samich, capt'n fatso?
Mind: I bet LoB is different than IoT. Your RPI-connected-IoT-enabled fruit peeler project wasn't all that good.
Me: I know.
Mind: Learn how to do an LoB application.
Me: But the dude says something along the lines of his skills being already out of date, yes?
Mind: Oh!
Me:
Me: [takes an enormous bite]
Mind: God, that's dry. Samich needs more sauce.
Me: OK, will do.
