I’m wondering about the Plan B potion at the end and how it plays into palace gossip. If she takes it, everyone will assume it confirms a tryst with Daemon. If she doesn’t take it, she risks being knocked up with Cole’s baby. She really should take it - just to be sure. (Assuming it works all well and good and doesn’t…

She had me with running around a spaceship barefoot and puffing her hair out of her face. She had me again later with “Hello Peter Parker.” It’s a physical performance. She’s “The Girl who Stood with Clenched Fists ... and likes to punch things.” I can still dig it.

“Winx” makes methinks this show involves twinks. Therefore shame prevents me from clicking anywhere near it.

Thank you. Thanks for the quote.

Thank you for the reply.

I think this show wants to be The Tick as done by Tina Fey. I can kinda see it. They should green light a season 2 and pay Tina Fey whatever she wants to co-produce and write three episodes. Don’t fire the current showrunner, though. She’s learning invaluable trial-by-fire shit.

It looked like one of Númenor’s towers has a high courtyard that stretches out into a spaceship landing-strip like in LotR’s Minas Tirith (the one Denethor took a flaming flying swan-dive off of). Has anyone put forth a reason for these things to exist architecturally? I mean, I’m sure someone in set design or concept…

You got the take. It’s weird but this show should probably be in standard sitcom mode and get a 20/26 episode season. This is episode four, I’m sure there’s plenty of classic sitcoms that didn’t lock-in until 5/6 episodes in. This ep was the best of the bunch so far - in its formula. But it still isn’t firing on all…

“The drug is approved.”

I only read maybe 4 of his books but I remember If You Could See Me Now as a favorite. Short and sweet. Drowned girlfriend/lonely cabin on a lake ghost story. Really good.

Pugh is on an upward trajectory into/onto the “A List” (I mean, she’s there. She’s going to headline Marvel’s Thunderbolts). Two months ago this movie might have generated Oscar talk for her performance, but now: “Oh no! A stumble!” Then: “Oh, she’ll be fine. Can you believe all this drama she has to put up with?”…

You’re in a TMZ rabbit hole. Get out now.

I’d grant them a mulligan for not posting a review on Labor Day Weekend (irony aside) but if they don’t and if they drop R&M coverage, well, idk. Sort of a bummer. Eclipsed by Hot D, no doubt. Maybe its more of a Gizmodo show.

Yup. Wondering if we’re going to get a Rick and Morty review, or if that’s another one under the bus.

Getting chopped up on YouTube probably helped the film’s notoriety. And (spoiler, I guess) if this had come out in theaters in 2007, I would have said the practical werewolf effects in that one awesome scene were worth at least $6 of the admission price. 

He campaigned for the role of Ezra Bridger, I think. But yeah, this would be great. 

Dev Patel and Jodie Comer - good fan-casting.

I was 100% in the camp of “let’s cast The Fantastic Four with non-white actors” mainly because the era they come from (1963?) is so-oo lily white. Reed is like a Fred MacMurray throwback. But, I say with a sigh, seeing John Krasinski in the suit has moved me off my 100% “no” position. It’s the power of suggestion, I…

The like/not like this movie debate is exhausting. What the real take-away that could be discussed is how Kathleen Kennedy & Co have apparently promised future trilogies (kinda willy-nilly) to 4? 5? different filmmakers that were hot for a hot minute and then fizzled. D+ and The Mandalorian happened and focus shifted…

Snore-grunt. Mm Leia... so warm.
