BLL is not just entertaining it’s got the same -- can’t explain it. It’s him though, he leaves his mark. A stillness. A mood. Every scene is weighed and measured by it. I loved it.
Patricia Clarkson is killing it as Adora. I imagined someone like Gillian Anderson while reading the book -Adora has that Hitchcock icy blonde vibe that Anderson had in Hannibal, and she would’ve been great for this role. But man, Clarkson is absolutely brilliant. You can feel the contempt she feels for Camille.
I tried going sober a few months after The Election. I really, really did. I’m an admitted alcoholic... friendly, never “drunk”, but a maintanance alcoholic tbs.
The 9/11-11/9 pang. We’ll be talking about those two in tandem when we’re truly old, if we make it that long. My mom used to talk about Kennedy’s death and the moon landing like that. No offense to the trauma of any prior generation, I’m still typing this on my magic handheld computer in relative comfort, but I live…
Yes please. And I swear to God, if I see that meme again about politics being like rooting for sports teams and both sides are idiots, I’ll have to investigate self-harm. I was registered non partisan or independent for 18 years in 3 different states. My own country radicalized me. Bush wasn’t bad enough, we had to…
*reviewer doesn’t like a show* omg let someone else review this
*reviewer loves a show* omg someone else should be writing this
All I’m saying is that I’m noticeably less murderous during the summer when the AC is working.
It’s not unmanly, it’s kind and compassionate. I got the impression that Camille was pleasantly surprised to hear that the cop started out by caring for animals.
As a man who works with rescue animals, it burns me that people still consider men working with animals ‘unmanly’. It’s 2018, grow the fuck up. Compassion isn’t ‘weak’ or ‘feminine’, it’s human.
“zomg” sighting in 2018
This is real. I had to up my meds for awhile after he was elected.
Another great one: The log at the Suicide clearing had a word written on it when Camille first showed it off (didn’t catch what it said), and then was gone when she looked again.
I hadn’t felt that dread pang that I recall from 9-11 and the announcement of the Invasion of Iraq, when you realize this shit is not good, until that all caps Trump tweet straight out of the Dead Zone movie that I had emailed my Congressperson aksing them to finally call this enough. I laugh as much as I can at these …
“Trump Anxiety Disorder”= common sense, aka: fear of an obvious, unavoidable danger.
One of the most subtle but effective bits of pure visual storytelling so far came near the end of this episode; Camille has just discovered that Amma is almost certainly going to be the killer’s next target. Frantically, she runs upstairs and discovers Amma’s bedroom is empty. As she races downstairs back to her car…
Why should we believe what the rapishts shay?
I finally went back on anti-anxiety/anti-depressant medication this at the beginning of this year and Trump definitely contributed.
The relationships in this story just make the head spin. Between Adora and Chief Vickery — along with Alan — Camille and Richard, John and Ashley, et al.. it’s just mesmerizing in the context of the mystery.
Gwen Ihnat made a slight dig yesterday about Sharp Object’s slow pace but I am fully on board, even if plot points are slow to reveal themselves, given how damn well it’s made. There are so many accomplishments in building its unsettling tone, but nothing achieves those goals better than what I find to be its…
