Johnson wrote a treatment and there was discussion of him writing and directing but when Trevorrow came on he and his partner took over actual script duties. Tho Johnson's story may still be a part of it

To be frank this sounds amazing.

Yeah I see it that way. So much of the movie is about the paths of fate, and so much of the visual and verbal style of the film involves callbacks and rhyming themes so it makes sense that picking this luggage would be so important.

I often say "May you live to be a thousand years old, sir."

I was lucky enough to see McGovern live do his monologue of various Beckett prose put together. Brilliant. At the time I did not recognize him from this scene, one of my favorites.

and he did exclaim "NEAT!"

It already has more reviews than Van Johnson….

You did that to yourself, friend!

The whole "JCVD is crying and falling apart" at the end leads me to believe they might get away from the initial joke fairly quickly and take it in a similar direction as that JCVD film.

I liked both quite a bit for very different reasons

His whole ending monologue was just absolutely perfect Tick

Who's the jerk who calls himself the Tick?

I let out such a loud guffaw at "GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN!"

I think it has to do with production. But yeah I don't understand why, when they have 10 episodes, they don't queue them up for one a week and let the production stay ahead. Instead, once they have 6 or 7 episodes in the bag, they air them one after another.

Wow. Oliver's reading was not at all the message I got from it The message I got was "Everyone's different, we should be OK with those even if we don't understand them and should nurture and not judge those differences"

And the great practical moments just served to make it look all the worse.

I mean, they made Evil Dead 2 on a super low budget and that was all practical. It's just CGI is so easy to use and so everyone does it.

Yeah the practical effects moments were great. Made the CG moments look all the fucking worse.

Maybe it looked better on TV but watching it streaming it looked horrible. like Nick Arcade.

That cgi. Ugh.
