I liked it when, in the same scene, Jared got choked up when he saw Richard and then Richard said something along the lines of “Jared relax, I saw you last week.”

It also had been slowly set up for the past few seasons too, as Jian-Yang had been shown to be way more of a complete criminal with no morals whatsoever. Seemed to make him more of a drug-lord in the jungle, but it was very reminiscent of John McAfee. Surprised they didn’t show a young girl sitting on a hammock at…
He was so toxic that even mucous didn't want to be associated with him.
I am not surprised at all that Miller doesn’t show up in any capacity. He burned bridges post-departure, apparently no one liked working with him on the show and dude has a lot on his plate that makes him poison - he’s been acting like a total twat since 2016.
To be fair to the showrunners, TJ Miller essentially burned all his bridges down when he gave a deranged interview after he left the show, basically saying he hates Alec Berg and that the show was in a rut. Miller being a dick in other ways just cements the decision not to feature him. But I was glad the character got…
I think it was pretty clear. Between the controversies surrounding Miller and all the negativity around his departure of the show, it was kind of obvious he wouldn't be returning, even as a cameo. Plus, it was a great way to wrap up Jian Yang's story.
Monica works for a “think tank” that definitely isn’t the NSA.
I want Gates to somehow have the thumb drive. Last shot of the show is of him inserting it in his laptop. Boom.
My favorite part was that when it came down to it, it was Gilfoyle who trusted Dinesh to do the right thing.
I’m one who’d argue #75 is way too low for Silicon Valley–indeed, I’d put it behind only Curb Your Enthusiasm as HBO’s best-ever comedy series.* I don’t think it was ever just a ‘hangout’ show; it was a cynical commentary on the techie culture that swallowed everything this decade, and a show that bravely and prescient…
Dinesh was always good for a comic moment but I think out of all of them I am going to miss Gilfoyle most of all. The deadpan stare/delivery and his utmost belief he was the smartest and most righteous person in the room at any given moment made him a standout from the start.
I think the flash forward documentary does a good job of softening the blow. These guys becoming billionaires would go against the spirit of the show, but nobody wants to see these characters living in the gutter either. Flash forward shows that they’ll have to swallow their pride, but they’ll be alright.
I did, yes, because fuck Jimmy Fallon.
Had one of his best one-liners during his old piano bit: “The other day I was crying while watching ‘The View’. Not because of the subject matter, I just feel really bad for that couch.”
Err. Kygo’s arguably the most influential contemporary producer - having invented the entire genre of Tropical House which is THE sound of pop music these days. You may not like it, but his influence is inarguable.
SPOILER FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN THE FILM
I'm still surprised that Donald Sutherland hasn't gotten an Oscar nomination period.
I often think about the Mad Magazine parody of this film, where Moore's character says, "I think I'll tidy up the house," and Hutton's character says, "You tidied up the house this morning," so Moore says, "Well then, I'll tidy up the town!"
That picture scene makes my skin crawl every time. I've been in similar situations, and that brings it all crashing back. She really nailed that role. I've watched Ordinary People 5 or 6 times, and she is probably be the strongest part of it.
There's merit to Moore's defense of "Beth," but I can't agree. I'm with Donald Sutherland's character: The moment the kid hugs his mother and she can't respond sealed it for me. Up to that moment, I wanted there to be the emotional reconciliation. Then, in a snap, I believed she was a lost cause. It was really, I…
