"The theater must be a safe and special place." OK, Nathan, you got me, I thought this was all real, but now the jig is up.

Unfortunately, this is not a good movie. It isn't terrible, but it is an incoherent mess.

Just saw this and I thought it was great. It is violent, but I didn't find it gratuitous. Mel Gibson really does a fantastic job ramping up the tension; I was captivated and on edge for pretty much the entire film. The battle scenes are intense, the number of people killed is horrifying, yet Doss's courage is

Yeah, the concept of transferring your consciousness onto a hard drive is fascinating, and something almost impossible to wrap your head around. I think that it most likely creates a computer program that looks like you, acts like you, has all your memories, but isn't really you. However, on the other hand, as others

Yes, and Charlie Brooker knows it. I viewed the end credits/epilogue to be a mic drop of sorts.

Insightful comment; you are making me re-evaluate my view on the nature of consciousness.

This is what I thought as well. Based on the scale of the warehouse at the end, I think we can assume that San Junipero is just one of many VR worlds. Kelly lived in Nevada and Yorkie in California, so they both probably wound up in San Junipero because of the joyous experiences they had in similar California beach

San Junipero is a perfect episode. On the surface, its message is so hopeful. The idea that this technology can give Yorkie a chance to live the life she lost is beautiful. Yet the deeper you dig into San Junipero, the more nihilistic it becomes. San Junipero is heaven for Yorkie, yet it is hell for the lost souls at

This narrative that most pro-Bernie people are "simpletons" that have "never been involved or engaged in politics before" is just wrong. I am a lifelong Democrat and Bernie's message was a breath of fresh air, I had been waiting for a while for candidate to come along with such a progressive platform. Throughout the

It's going to be interesting to see how many episodes will be produced for season 7. Benioff and Weiss have publicly said that there are likely only 13 episodes left, but HBO has not confirmed that, so I would think that the number of remaining episodes is still being negotiated. With the way that the finale ended,

Margaery had a great opportunity to end the High Sparrow's reign when her family's army was outside the Sept of Baelor. Instead she chose to try and use the High Sparrow against Cersei. Margaery clearly underestimated both the High Sparrow and Cersei.

Thank you Cersei; with the High Sparrow out of the picture King's Landing just became interesting again. I thought it was a nice touch to have Margaery suss out the danger only to be barred from leaving by the religious fanatic that she played a role in empowering. Margaery made the same mistake that Cersei did last

I think that D and D are really hammering Jaime's love for Cersei because he is not going to see her alive again. I am pretty sure that Cersei and Qyburn were talking about wildfire, so she is probably going to burn Kings Landing to the ground instead of showing up to the kangaroo court.

The entire Arya in Bravos storyline feels like such a waste of time. The narrative would have been much better served if she was off screen for the entirety of seasons five and six. Apparently the idea of faceless man assassin training is just far more interesting to imagine than it is to actually watch all its

I'm not really feeling Dany this season. The scenes at the end of this episode and at the end of episode 4 just fall flat in comparison to her big moments in the earlier seasons. I understand that her major scenes this season parallel her big scenes from season 1 (the birth of the dragons and Drogo's speech), but they

About time the Lannisters figured out that they need to bring in an army and wipe the sparrows out. Heads on pikes, lets go, it's what Lannisters do.

Whatever the reason, it was pretty awesome seeing Jon in the traditional Stark battle attire.

I am really enjoying how difficult it has been to predict what is coming next based on the edit. Caleb was portrayed as a hero and Neil was almost invisible. Nick was nowhere to be seen the first 5 episodes then out of nowhere everyone wants to work with him and he is the most prominent player in the merge episode.

It seemed like there wasn't a way to give the idol to Aubry without totally blowing up her spot.

If a lot of the cast is pulled from the game for medical reasons then there is no TV show. I know some viewers like to see people starve and suffer, but I am not one of them. I tune in for the gameplay and strategy, so I was glad to see Jeff intervene and provide Aubry antibiotics. If the producers were more cognizant
