I'm excited for this movie purely because it feels like the first original "blockbuster" movie that's been around since Inception. (Sorry if I missed any inbetween!)

So glad I wasn't the only one that thought this. I actually thought they were both going to collapse suddenly because the food had been drugged or something.

Yeah, I was severely underwhelmed by the story. It had no scope. Certain parts of the film felt really tacked on (basically everyone besides Anna and Elsa).

It's probably meant to be imitating a Banksy which notoriously end up in really oobscure locations.

Obligatory:

It's so incredibly overplayed at concerts (I've been to a few) that it gets really boring after the first time you hear it, unfortunately. I kind of wish they'd played a bunch of other songs in its place, but what can you do?

The short film Let's Play Nomad X, uploaded last year but making the rounds now, is about what people can tell you about themselves when you read between the lines. It's about the brief, often desperate moments of quiet desperation that can show up when anybody puts their voice out to be heard.

This was actually an alternate ending of the film that ended up on the cutting room floor, I think. They were going to have the ending montage of them walking across the beach, getting progressively older but repeating the same actions, showing them doomed to repeat the same cycle of falling in and out of love. I…

I'd like to see a new face for Ellie, if we're being completely honest. I think getting someone super familiar to audiences kind of ruins the "getting to know Ellie" part of the game. The viewer/player already knows Joel, since we've seen his story and Joel is a weary, tired man—therefore, getting someone (e.g. Hugh…

I think the "why" mostly comes from the fact that TLoU is basically a movie anyway.

Seriously? Ew.

That is exactly what I thought, and that was before I knew they were by the same author.

that's exactly what I thought! it must be the river that connects all of them. maybe the childresses travel through the river to select their victims or whatever?

Could be have been wearing a corset for the red carpet? And then, when she needed to sing, she...

Whoa, no it didn't. HBO had said that it was going to be an anthology from before it even aired, which means they definitely had long-term plans for it.

Nah, I'm with you there. I doubt McConaughey or however you spell it and Harrelson would have signed up if they'd known it was going to be a long-running show.

Wow, I meant to type "murder", I have no idea how I ended up with "before".

Mmhm! That's what they said about the Killing, before they decided to take 2 seasons to solve Rosie Larsen's before.

Ah, always good to hear from a soundtrack buff. I'd like to think I can pick out styles, but I really can't. I'm not even sure if the Dark Knight was the first to use it so much and everyone else started emulating it thereafter or if I only just began to notice it after, though.

I'm really annoyed that I can't think of any specific examples, but after the Dark Knight came out a LOT of movie scores started using this sort of string playing-style along with the orchestral toms and the same chord progression. Even Zimmer admitted that he had to stop using this style for Interstellar because too…
