It’s what I saw. They kept going back (again and again) to the role of Luke being Mythic, and his resistance to accept that role. In the end, he does, in grand dramatic fashion specifically to be the “Spark” to light a resistance. That’s exactly what I saw in TLJ.

Luz Long was more than kind to Owens. In defiance of other Nazi athletes routinely ignoring or belittling their non-Aryan competitors, Long hugged Owens after Owens beat his mark to win Gold, locked arms with Owens to walk him to the locker room, and held his shoulder congratulating him in front of the international…

The last version on the rotating circles made me shit my brain. 

And that is and has always been the problem.

This right here is why people don’t talk about mental issues. Some dipshit is going to equate it to intelligence. Look, your body sometimes reacts to outside stimuli in less than productive means. Yet if your brain does so, people want to think it’s because you’re ‘not smart’. You can’t ‘think’ your way out of an…

Maybe because you’ve flown recently. While air travel is probably just as safe as it’s always been. It’s always been a loud, stressful way to travel and airlines have only been making your time in the plane more and more uncomfortable by cutting back on your space and the little creature comforts that used to make…

I don’t understand people’s frustration with TLJ. I’ve always felt so much bad happened in the Star Wars universe because the Jedi adhered so strongly to their beliefs. The story was always the same. They were forced to leave their loved ones, told not to love, etc., and shit eventually came back to bite them in the…

“I hit stupid orange cones all the time, ON PURPOSE, because, like Elon, I realize they serve no useful purpose except to hold back a multitide ofimbeciles like you, sitting in your cars, slaves to one stupid little orange cone.”

Yup. The lack of anyone from Barry on this list is shocking. It was also the best thing that aired in 2019, imo. (Aside from maybe Fleabag, but those two are neck and neck.)

I have to mention Bill Hader, Sarah Goldberg and Stephen Root. They play some of the most difficult roles on TV and always manage to nail the impossible complexities of their characters. Hader can do so much without saying a word. Root’s work in the scenes where Fuches has to lure Barry into a trap to save his own…

What about Jared Harris and Stellan Skarsgard in Chernobyl?

To be honest I could take or leave Daniel Craig’s Bond. I saw Knives Out last night and now all I want is for Daniel Craig and Rian Johnson to just make more Benoit Blanc movies. Knives Out is a real good time. Daniel Craig is the best ‘Poirot’ since David Suchet. It’s far more enjoyable watching Craig having fun in a…

Just because you think the movie’s bad, doesn’t mean that it actually is, bud.

There’s plenty of places for discussion of direct-to-Shudder films and shows, as you noted in your own comment. This isn’t a horror enthusiast website, it’s a mainstream sci-fi/fantasy website. It’s trying to give a 10,000-foot look at horror of the last decade, with an emphasis on what’s managed to break through to…

First Class is both the best X-Men movie and one of the best comic book movies full stop.

My favorites from the last ten years:

Its your brain finding patterns in things that don’t have patterns.
