I do like the soundtrack of Star Wars post-John Williams (never been a fan of his music), but the last few episodes of Andor are pretty heavy-handed with the Barber Adagio and Mascagni's Intermezzo. Then again Star Wars has never been subtle, and neither has film music.

Hah. I'm not crazy, I did hear a fire alarm the other day. It just wasn't our building.
Dear film/video directors, vanishingly few people compose with paper, pencil, and piano anymore. It would be like writing a screenplay on a typewriter. We love our desktops and laptops.

Just FYI, if you share things about missing children, double check that they want to be found (and aren't just estranged, and their parents are using this avenue to harass them) and that they aren't already found.
OK, I'm gonna need to binge something stupid the rest of the week. (Just watched Andor season 2, episode 8.) I mean, we know the story's not going to have a happy ending, from Rogue One.
