Hey - you keep Moon Knight out of this.

Big especially, he was never impacted by the financial crisis of 2008 or no other wall street drops since then??

100% agree. For me, a savvier Carrie who is able to move through the world of the rich and instead of being an idiot about it be the one making observations would make so much more sense!

...as with Monica Gellar’s unfathomably sprawling West Village two-bedroom

If I were to guess, I’d say that this is a weak attempt to get players to re-engage with ubisoft services. Seems like a lot of empty bluster, and a poor attempt to scare players into utilizing a data collecting client that doesn’t offer much value. 

Ubisoft strategy:

The rich did get much richer during the pandemic, so it shouldn’t be surprising that any of them would be affected by it.

Carrie Bradshaw was always a wish fulfilment surrogate. 

He has, and it very clearly is. But she still said it on more than one occasion.

You must have been born before after 1999.  There was no way you could escape it in 1997.

Literally the first two words of the song are “She said.”
But, just like in the 90's nobody paid attention to the opener and since a dude was singing it it was assumed it was from his perspective.

It got a huge laugh in my theater. Maybe the biggest of the showing. It was just the perfect song, and not because it was being mean to Matchbox Twenty, but because it encapsulated a certain kind of frat boy with a guitar ethos that many of us women have, I suspect, encountered out in the wild. 

Greta Gerwig is the rare director  who appreciates how bad late 90s rock music could be. I love how “Crash” is a recurring audio cue in Ladybird, and it never feels good.

This needle generated one of the biggest laughs in the entire film from my audience, along with the Midge gag, the Justice League bit and the final line. 

Kamala the comics character was a fan of all the superheroes, had an early adventure with Wolverine and did Champions with teen Cyclops. So Iman the superfan gets to write Kamala the superfan getting to join the X-Men. I’ve got high hopes. The mutants could use a bit of embiggened sunshine right now.

Eternals has its issues, but I liked how they did super-speed there too

Mariner and Jadzia Dax could talk about traveling back to the TOS era only to be surprised at how attractive young Spock is.

One very subtle connection in this episode - they made a point of giving Pelia a scene together with Boimler. One of Carol Kane’s first film roles was in The Last Detail, where most of her scenes was with Jack Quaid’s uncle Randy. I can’t tell if they did that consciously or not.

I think they missed a nice opportunity to have Carol Kane’s Pelia character appear in Lower Decks at the moment they get back through the portal. After all, Lanthanites live thousands of years, so it would have been possible.
