Trial of the Chicago 7 has 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and was nominated for Best Picture.

Yet Sorkin does deviate from his comfort zone

You’re an angry moron.

I get that concern, but it sounds like from this review and others that that isn’t what this is.

The chad artist respecter

It’s interesting to see how many people are down on the entire concept of a remake of West Side Story considering how inherent adaption is to the stage musical. It sounds like Spielberg succeeded in finding a reason for the production to exist, which is exciting.

Is that a difference? When you compare where The Sopranos was midway through Season 3, who suffered any consequences for bad behavior? Pussy, Jackie Jr. I guess, but not exactly the equivalent of the Roy’s in terms of show importance. I sort of think it’s a misreading of the show to say the violence was a moral…

This is sort of a fascinating demonstration of the way that the public views the purposes of a documentary vs the purposes of a news report.

It’s interesting looking at these themes now that Succession is the big show. I’ve been reflecting on how the critics of this season of Succession are mirroring complaints that were made about The Sopranos (questioning if character growth is “cyclical”, being frustrated that the major “plot points” fizzle out [whether…

It’s a good thing to say, actually. Did not enjoy any of your comment.

Kendall literally hasn’t seen them outside a zoom screen all season, why would you think he’d have a party with them.

Pulling a Newsroom and going “real life with 18 months hindsight” was just a bad idea.

It’s always interesting to me when adaptions of magazine articles choose to include the actual making of that article as part of the movie. Delvey got arrested, the existence of the article isn’t necessary to her arc. Hustlers did it too and it wasn’t a necessary framing device at all.

The scene last week where Roman watched his father humiliate Shiv and then run to his side to call her a bitch seemed to be a particularly revealing point in his character. Where in the past, Roman was always a fuckup who wasn’t taken seriously, we’re seeing now what it does to his personality when he’s able to get a…

Oh cool, I thought of them as influences because this review cited them as influences.
