They're not actors, though. At least, not professional ones. How well do you suppose they understood what was happening? The quotes don't make it clear, and she says that they went out and looked for kids who'd had trauma in their life. Which isn't wrong on its own. It's just that there's nothing about casting kids

Like, at best, out-of-touch. They cast their child actors by playing on their real traumas and hardships to make her movie. Is it the worst thing that anybody has done? Nah, probably not. But she shouldn't get a pass just because it's not that bad in comparison to other, worse things that Americans have done in

Just screeching like a motherfucker as he chucks grenades at Roland and paintbrush Jesus before being literally erased from existence.

Once they cover Wizard and Glass, are they going to adapt the comics? Which largely follow the same timeframe?

No, I get where you're coming from. The Man in Black being Walter and Flagg could've worked, and I accepted it easily enough. That wasn't my main issue, though. I'm just not sure that King kept him at the level he was at any of his introductions. Which is actually a problem I have with most of the antagonists in the

An HBO miniseries would have been the best way to adapt this series. They could've recycled sets, props, and CGI assets from Westworld and Game of Thrones!

It's weird that Hearts in Atlantis got the shoutout when Father Callahan from Salem's Lot is arguably a more important character in the series than Ted Brautigan.

For fuck's sake. The Gunslinger is the easiest of the books to adapt, too.

I mean, has anyone looked for "ivankabikiniphoto1.jpeg" in the site's directory? They're probably there.

Yeah, if someone lies, call them out.
I would go a step further and ask them to also call out bullshit false equivalencies like this one right here.

Wait, what?! I had no idea!

What if the boat was made using the same alloys as the giant robots who shouldn't have been able to support their own weight but did and it was cool.

Oh. It had the opposite effect on me.

A character's name is Stacker Pentecost and he yells about cancelling the apocalypse and I liked that a lot.

*Shrug.*

Whatever happened to the Great Lakes Avengers anyway? I miss them, and I miss when Squirrel Girl was a part of them.

Jajajajajaja.

The movie could've attempted to give her family some sort of humanity. Instead, they were caricatures that stomached Jessica's shitty attitude and that was that. But the movie wanted us to be on her side so bad, too. I didn't think I could be. I was surprised by how little those scenes ultimately mattered.

I finally watched this one. It wasn't really my thing but it was so short I felt compelled to watch it through. I thought Jessica Williams was charming, per usual, but she wasn't given anything meaty to do. It was so weirdly paced and stilted that I couldn't fully connect with any of the characters. In particular, her

I love, love, love the shading that Elizabeth Banks' character got in the series. It was so ridiculous that it worked perfectly.
