“hostile energy”... that’s an interesting description of what I’d qualify, more often than not, as “semi-drunk overacting”. Granted, it gives her movies a somewhat different vibe, depending on her degree of mugging for the camera, but still... ^^

Melissa Joan Hart seems to be perfectly happy producing her own Christmas movies for Lifetime, where she can go as excentric as she wants to, and cast whoever she wants to as her love interest. Sadly, that also means her budgets are much lower, and her scripts are much less polished than the norm.

It’s still the only Punisher outing, Netflix series included, that managed to really capture the insanity of a man snapping and waging a literal war on crime.

Naomi Scott makes a pretty Jasmine.

Maybe it’s because I suffered through years of Jarrett’s self-serving booking in TNA, but I just hope Cody “I gave myself the centerpiece championship match on my company’s first event/PPV, and I framed my victory at something historical and über-melodramatic” Rhodes doesn’t develop the same ego...

As far as WWE’s audience demographics go, the median age of WWE viewers was 54 yo in 2017, and has been getting older by the year. So, if their main target was supposed to be pubescent boys, they’re failing spectacularly.

Moix is a cunning polemicist who thrives on provocation. Shocking people with outrageous comments & opinions is his bread and butter, and this interview came out a few days after his new book got released : the media outrage gave him plenty of free advertising, his sales got a boost, mission accomplished.

Also removed on Xbox store.

Same thing goes for Nathan Barnatt and his No Bones/boneless dance. Except something tells me that he won’t sue, and will settle for some undisclosed sum and/or a credit.

Red Tornado was looking better.

Fun episode. I’m still waiting for the moment where they’ll let Superman loose, and not have him constantly reined in “because Supergirl shouldn’t be overshadowed”, but still, it’s crazy how much those tv crossover are more enjoyable than their big screen counterpart.

Thing is, the YV movement is, at its core, a social media-born and fueled movement. And as we all know, social media is the place where, more often than not, fake news & misinformation abound, outrage is amplified beyond measure, people all know better than the experts, and kinda end up losing touch with how things…

If you look at the Yellow Vests “official” demands*, they’re somewhat far-right on immigration & borders, but mostly left (and far left) on social demands.

If by “the basic quality of the episodes”, you mean “this season has been very mediocre, heavy-handed and flat when written by Chibnall, and it’s barely starting to pick up now that it’s nearly over, and that Whitaker’s Doc is finally starting to come into her own” then yeah, we’re all in agreement.

Oh but most episodes, this season, have already been particularly divisise, and the source of numerous heated conversations between fans.

I really don’t care about Macron’s politics, but De Gaulle, Sarkozy, Mitterand and Chirac all said basically the exact same thing about Petain (“WW1's Petain = great ; WW2's Petain = awful and unforgivable ; both should be remembered”), if not worse. Except they didn’t have social media and the internet outrage machine…

My only problem with what was otherwise a fine match was the ref’s random counting. I get that the drama should take precedence over the “rules” of the Last Woman Standing, but in that case, the ref never seemed to apply some coherent counting methodology to the match.

Honestly, I think they’ll just give up on Cage & Rand for a while. I don’t see them trying to reconcile the vastly different situations both Danny and Luke are in at the end of their respective shows.

Eh, I’d rather watch a new franchise feat. the adventures of a female 005 or 006, with potential crossover/team-up with Bond, than a gender-switched Jane Bond which would replay the Bond hits, “but with a female Bond !”.

As far as the guerilla compound assault goes, it was all second unit, for lack of time and studio confidence in McTiernan, and IIRC, McT always disliked its very static, basic and cheap action movie style.
