And let’s go to war with Spain while we’re at it!

Not exactly. He was the only character that seemed fully aware of the constant state of peril the crew of the Jupiter 2 lived in every second of every day, and he wasn’t shy about expressing it. He also often threatened to beat Smith to death and/or throw him out an airlock, which made him seem like a killjoy since…

By the by, Terence Davies, British director of Distnat Voices, Still Lives, passed on October 7, 2023.
His oeuvre (can’t think of a better word) influenced my own work. He wasn’t a happy person but his passion sustained him.

WTF is with the Friday night comment, Most of the popular shows, Foundation, Gen V, Witcher, from most streaming services air on Fridaysx now, and Afterparty was no different.

“If I can help some kid go through a tough time in his life, that’s what I want to do.”

He pointed out that in the notorious episode The Great Vegetable Rebellion, you can spot him refusing to look at the vegetable people as the only way he could get through a take. He always seemed to have a good sense of perspective about his career, and what really mattered.

It hearkens back to the very olden days, when newpaper reviewers were free to summarize an entire film, often incorrectly, in their review. Bring back yellow journalism, I say!

I’m a writer and tbh that’s bs.

“Thinly veiled metaphor for date rape” Uh I don’t think it’s thinly veiled, his effin name is “Rufus” (Roofies) that tries to have sex girls then wipe their mind. I think that metaphor is about as thick as you can get.

Not really. He's not fully identified to people who didn't know him and he died before the writer of the exposé published it. Better to have the record corrected than be lied about with no rebuttal.

No no this isn’t an entirely legitimate literary practise of taking real world anecdotes, experiences and personalities and crafting a story. It’s that Roupenian singled out a real person and attributed misogynistic behavior to them with no evidence or even first hand experience. And the original story was far more…

The short story ends with Robert’s epithet, revealing his true character, but in this film, there are still 40 minutes to go.

Roupenian’s short story is a solid piece of work, and it certainly hit at the right time.

It’s TWO HOURS long?? For fuck’s sake.

i liked when series’ would have halloween episodes around halloween and christmas episodes around christmas, so whatever release schedule allows that to happen. 

They both agree to make all female roles either The Wife or poorly written. 

Da Mayor: “[unintelligible unintelligible unintelligible]”
Mookie: What’s that, Mayor?
Da Mayor: “[unintelligible unintelligible unintelligible]”
Mookie: Yeah... um ok. See you later!

Make the delivery of the speeches unintelligible with shitty sound mixing?
“We [unintelligible unintelligible unintelligible] rock, [unintelligible unintelligible unintelligible] on [unintelligible unintelligible]”

I could see a closing credits montage of archival footage and such (e.g., actual images of radiation poisoning, etc.) - seems like the type of thing that Spike Lee might have done had he directed it.

Also as a side tip because two stories feature it.
