I honestly don’t understand the problem people have with the pacing of this season. I can relate it to the macro problem with media, which is that too many people think Plot is King, a perspective that I think is objectively wrong at best, and indicative of people not having read enough actual stories at worst.

I love that episode so much because the newest Fak is just *perfect* and unexpected. Not spoiling who it is for those who haven’t gotten there yet, but that actor fits in so seamlessly as a Fak.

saw this at tiff last year it’s fucking nuts i loved every second.

Nah, you have to wait for it to hit Netflix and watch the whole thing simultaneously. Only way make the algorithm make Netflix save the show.

I’m fine with long movies...just give me a 10 minute intermission like a play would.

“I never envisaged the amount of interest there would be. It’s quite weird,” said Charles Stopford Sackville, whose family has owned the sprawling property in Lowick, England since the 18th century (via Daily Mail). “I don’t take it as flattering.”

Oh use my buddy’s story from his work trip the other week: He had 4 MTG Commander decks in his carryon, TSA went through every single card for his outgoing flight. Because of all the terrorist bombing trading cards out there?

Nothing about this needed to be formatted into a slideshow to more effectively communicate the information. 

I think the reason people read Whitney as bad, despite her good deeds public and private, is because she’s a fair-weather philanthropist who’ll stop the second she finds something else to puff up her self-image. Her good deeds don’t have any foundation in actual concern for others so she can’t be depended upon. It all…

Meanwhile “Five Nights at Freddy’s” has a Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 30 % and and audience score of 87 %.

Reviews? Here? I’m sorry, all you get are top 15 list slideshows.

Seeing smaller art films in theaters is the best, actually, because you’re (ideally) in a setting conducive to heightened awareness and concentration on the film, which art films especially demand. There aren’t the same possibilities for interruption as at home.

The religion was literally created to be co-opted, just by and for the Bene Gesserit. That’s literally the job of the Missionaria Protectiva. That probably makes it worse, not better. It’s really just another thing that they created specifically to gain power and control that backfires on them, like the Kwisatz…

I’ve gotta hand it to AVC: Titicut Follies is an inspired number one. Undoubtedly one of the most upsetting movies ever made. Saw it at a rep screening years ago, knowing only that it was a Frederick Wiseman film, and, uhhh... Jesus Christ. Pretty fucked up!

Still holding out hope for a Return of the Obra Dinn movie...

That’s a reason for more people to unionize and fight for better wages, not an argument against this action

see i actually think seeing a good comedy in a packed house is 10x the experience of anything else.

Nothing. The joy isn’t watching it once per week. The joy is being able to discuss it with other people and knowing exactly how much they’ve watched. That it becomes communal in a way a binge doesn’t.

Not until they can figure out how to format it as a slideshow. 

Then there’s the fact that a lot of these write-ups seem written for a list of films to avoid.
