Now that’s a blast from the past. Well done!

The party stuff is definitely the most generic material in it, though, so you’re not totally off base.
Totally. That’s all I was looking for in this one! It didn’t need to be cutting commentary (though I have to say, as someone who went to the school that PCU is based on, that movie gets some stuff right too!), just a basic feel for life on campus. There’s a little bit of the hang-out vibe in between the big parties,…
My favorite is Double Impact, where one JCVD twin grows up in Hong Kong and the other grows up in France and yet they both have Belgian accents.
Upvoted by Tom Emanski (but not me).
Very witty and thoughtful.
I met him last year at a convention. Told him how big of a fan I have been of his since Back to School (see my username). He spent a good amount of time talking to me (there wasn’t a huge line) and signed a ton of stuff more than I had paid for. I had sent him a pic of a Cobra Kai poster Ibought on twitter a few years…
Always appreciate the hosts that take the time and put in the effort to avoid the cue cards. It doesn’t ruin stuff for me but the ones who know the lines always end up better.
So many other shows would have cut in some kind of flashback imagery during their exchange. I kept thinking, “Surely it will cut now...now...?” By the end of it, I said “Holy shit,” aloud. This show has got an impressively steady hand.
That scene with Blanky and Fitzjames was amazingly written, acted, and scored. It provided an unreasonable amount of chills for two guys sitting at a table talking calmly about something that happened long ago.
A standout scene for me was Blanky telling FitzJames about his experience with John Ross and Fury Beach. Ian Hart is such a superb actor, and he excelled here, his quiet, steady, almost conversational tone a stark contrast to the story he’s telling. And that long pause after FitzJames asks him if he would have stove…
Exactly. I liked the movie, but half the time I was just thinking “the military would have taken these fuckers out by day 2.”
I mean, if you want to get technical, the only one we see gets killed by the gun, not the sound waves. And judging from the various newspaper headlines we see throughout the runtime, the preoccupation seems to have been with finding out how people are being hunted, not how to defeat the monsters.
Besides which, at the…
It’s Thomas Middleditch’s responsibility to “remedy centuries of abuse” by evil men? Women have abused and murdered children and the elderly for centuries... go harass, oh I dunno... Kate Micucci, until she remedies it. Just because biased psychosis is IN right now, doesn’t make it okay.
I’m thinking it might be because it gives them one less thing to worry about when they’re creating story lines? If they don’t have to worry about properly laying the story against whatever kind of whether would be appropriate, then they’re free to concentrate on sizzling dialogue and organic, logical, interesting…

I know this one! I read an interview with the production people. Apparently they don’t want there to be particular seasonal indicators of “when” the show is, so everything is deliberately designed to ignore/obscure those sorts of clues. It never snows, rarely rains, no one mentions heat/cold, and the characters’…
If he’s the beanie bro in this video, I don’t need to look up any of his other reviews to know you’re correct. What a flat, one-dimensional review he gave of this beautiful, hauntingly weird movie that I absolutely loved every second of. Glasses guy has some fair points.
Christ, that movie was dreadful.
