This show is the epitome of mediocre. I watched it all and enjoyed pieces of it, and might watch more. There is nothing to see here.

Ughh, the Shape of Things. I had such a violently negative reaction to the ending of that film that it made me dislike Rachel Weisz for like ten years.

I loved this episode. Much like the other adventure that Morty helped choose, it starts down a pretty straightforward and cliched path, then deviates into random chaos and death.

There's an entire multi-verse of Ricks and Mortys who are together for the same reason, so I would assume it's not just the Federation or any one singular threat the mind-shield is used to keep Rick from.

Woohoo! This show is easily my favourite representation of wrestling in pop culture.

and Shawshank

The original starring George Pappard, or the schlocky remake by McG with the Rock?

I thought this episode was fine, although at points I was wondering where it was headed. Kind of a bridge episode between the soul-stealing and Herr Starr episodes and whatever is coming next, but at least it's focused on character, something a few of the slower eps from season one kind of lacked at times.

That might be true if the show had started in 1997… no, no, it wouldn't. Agggghhhhhhh, my useful nerd rage!!!!

I… I don't know.

I miss Community.

I love me some Herr Starr. It's funny, as others have mentioned, how much they've screwed with the interpretations of Jesse and Tulip, yet Starr is pretty much dead-on compared with his comics counterpart here.

Comic Jesse was a cynical-yet-sometimes-optimistic 90s SOB. So a Gen Xer.

Yep (I feel like this conversation is having diminishing returns, but it's probably because I'm thinking of it in relative terms to film-makers like Roth and Tarantino, so YMMV).

Except that the violence in this film is neither graphic nor sensationalized.

Tool Aenima? WTF

i don't think that this film functions as war "porn" at all. As in, it's basically the opposite of that. War porn would glorify violence while not considering its consequences at all, and Dunkirk neither showcases war's gory effects nor stop to admire it.

It's a good film. The editing is confusing if you're not paying attention, and there are the typical logic holes you see in superhero movies that don't pay as close attention to "realism" (as realistic as you can for a movie about a man running around beating up criminals, see also: James Bond), but it's got some

Yeah, it's hard to describe in a concrete sense without giving away too much, but there's an underlying tension throughout the film that doesn't let up until the end. I quite liked it, although I'm not sure I will ever see it again (much like Gravity).

This should have both opened and closed the comments on this article.
