We can’t all be as original as you
This is approaching “I’m not mad I’m actually laughing” territory here. At this point you’ve left multiple lengthy overheated comments proclaiming loudly how cool and chill you are with what Donna said and how it’s not really worth thinking about and how everyone else is getting too worked up about it and you’re…
“You know what we do care about? Discussing this television show. That’s it.”
Yeah it’s ridiculous, just like 99 percent of the legal stuff on the show
Oh please commenting about stupid stuff the recapper set is completely par for the course in the comments of any TV episode recap/review. If you think these weird comments by Donna are defensible then defend them but don’t act like it’s some crime against humanity to bring them up at all or somehow outside the scope…
Yeah I’ve found Donna’s weird prudishness or whatever about this stuff to be annoying and not just some cute quirk like she seems to think it is.
I’m a dickhead because I don’t think some writer should be repeatedly making rude and unnecessary remarks about how seeing men’s bare bodies makes her sick?
Hm. The Mexican compound read completely differently for me, not leaning into Gus’ villain side, but reminding us of the other facet to who he is. Not the business man or the boss, but just humbly putting money to good use. Children are running around, and unlike the philanthropic persona in public, no one here has…
The whole point is Rob discovering how horrible he is.
Am I the only one who’s not down for this at all? This sounds like a bad imitation. If they were going to make a TV show out of High Fidelity, they should have steered clear of direct references to the source material and presented a completely new angle and not just character and gender swaps. Dropping an occasional…
I’m years behind but Bjorn seemed to always encapsulate Rollo’s strenghts and Rollo and Ragnar’s flaws. That made him interesting, but ultimately a character that would probably fall at the end.
I felt really disappointed by Captain Marvel. There were pockets of inspiration here and there, but overall, the movie was rather forgettable. And the weirdest part is that I can’t put my finger on why I feel that way. Nothing was exactly stand-out bad. It was just “ok”. Maybe that’s what bothered me. For such an…
Really? I think it’s fairly easy to pick up.
Except that there have been countless tales in the EU (whether in the novels or in the video games) that have shown nobodies can be Jedi.
Mostly agreed. I still liked the last 1/4 of the movie, and think it could have set up a nice scenario addressing what happens if things didn’t wrap up so neatly after RoTJ. There feels like a real chance for Kylo Ren to NOT be redeemed (the antithesis of Vader in a sense), and for something different than the old…
Here’s what I like about TLJ that I think broke free of retelling ESB. It had Luke be a broken reluctant mentor. It broke expectations by making Rey an everywoman, and not some special messianic next-gen Skywalker, while also making it apparent that the Force could choose anybody to be special (ala. the Force-wielding…
Thank you. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills whenever I hear people talk about how “subversive” The Last Jedi was. Like, it’s the same damn movie as all the others! I don’t dislike it because it’s different, I dislike it because it’s the same played-out formula they’ve been drip-feeding people since the 80's but they…
I’ve thought about this for a very long time and The Last Jedi breaks down like this to me.
Rian Johnson’s imperfect but often spectacular and genuinely daring The Last Jedi. [snip] Watching The Rise Of Skywalker, you realize that J.J. has...made what feels sometimes like a glorified apology for his successor’s choices.
“It’s OK” seems to be the consensus.
