Sometimes, the good guys do win.

I really enjoyed Night Moves, but I haven't seen any of her other films after hearing that was the relatively "fast-moving" one.

I mean those Twilight movies are fucking awful and she's fucking awful in them. No amount of Internet hot takes will change that.

Wolf Creek has to be one of the most bizarre attempts at trying to build a horror franchise I've seen. That first one was a perfect piece of nasty horror filmmaking, but there was nothing left to say after that. It was done, what else could you do but cheapen the original film? Not to mention that the sequel came out

The "manic serial killer hunting people in a remote location with a dog" gives me flashbacks to the super-underrated P2.

The reviews for this have been all over the place, from "wildly entertaining cheese" to "fucking intolerable." I wasn't expecting this of all things to provoke strong reactions.

Two queer MALE leads, on a show that isn't specifically an LGBT drama. That's incredibly rare in the US.

Jessica Jones was pretty good. I'm amazed that Bendis actually managed to tone down his Bendisisms for this one, though if any run could do it it would be returning to his baby.

"He knows what's coming."

I'm not sure Andy Daly is a suitable replacement for Larry Miller.

The dueling narration structure on Girl on the Train was so fucking terrible. Megan's flashback story-line served no narrative or thematic purpose, all it did was force the Gone Girl-lite comparisons even harder. It would be one thing if those sections paid off in some sort of plot revelation or even real character

Some of it was just blackouts, but some of them were definitely played as "I don't remember getting drunk this time and I just blacked out."

I'll say that this season is juggling the mytharc(for lack of a better term) and the case-of-the-week storylines far better then the first. Splitting the narrative between the FBI and Sandstorm not only lets the mythology branch out, but it lets Jane actually be the genuine lead of the show instead of Kurt.

Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see.

She's inspired casting for a cop. I would totally watch a gritty HBO police drama starring her as a detective.

I have no idea why Ramirez only seems to get shit roles in Hollywood. He's a very handsome, very talented actor, it's not like you have to sell a difficult product here.

Ah nuts, my apologies. I thought I remembered the character being Arabic in the novel.

Pretty much.

At least they're just letting her play an English woman instead of giving her a bad American accent.

The way the lead was described in the book made me imagine a slightly younger Olivia Colman, so Emily Blunt being cast took me by surprise. And keeping the Arabic name for the psychiatrist while casting Edgar Ramirez is a pretty blatant example of "All those brown people are the same, right?" ignorance.
