Dune (both movies), is the blueprint for how you adapt a science fiction property this old, and quite frankly, this dated. There’s a very slavish point of view that demands some kind of loyalty to source material, almost a fanboy purity test, that’s just ridiculous, especially for science fiction, which by its very…

Generally speaking, I loved it, and for sure I’ll be seeing it in a theater at least once more.
I watched in in IMAX at Lincoln Square in NYC, which is city’s premier IMAX screen (to the best of my knowledge). Perfect seats. I found the projected image to be a bit too dusty and dirty, to the point of distraction. I…

Great film, and I can respect the abridging done of the book to keep it paced. Only thing I dislike is that it was definitely setting up towards Messiah when the book offered some bit of resolution

I genuinely think this could be a contender for the greatest film of all time. 🫣 Just me?

Same. I first saw this news on Twitter, I think from Variety or a similar news outlet, and the top replies were from jackasses who wasted no time spoiling those characters’ fates for everybody. Some of them were even posting GIFs of those characters getting killed in the game.

Here's hoping for a scene with him playing the trombone like in Treme! 

I’ll always remember the scene from The Wire where Bunk and McNulty go over an old crime and their entire dialogue is just variations of the word “fuck.”

All the crossover had going for it was jokes about superhero naming conventions for their respective universes, was anyone really holding out for this?

Whitney was pretty unlikable, but in the end Asher felt like a very tragic character. He’s clearly been bullied and struggled to fit in his entire life (judging from his dialogue with Dougie) and he struck me as the only character committed to changing himself. I’ve seen some people criticize him for only trying to be…

I’ve thought about that, and I’m not convinced that it would have been worth it. Asher would be sacrificing his firm grip on the branch to show his legs dangle in the air, and run the risk that the firefighters dismiss it as him just stretching his lower body into the sky. To really show that gravity is pulling him…

How are we still processing The Curse finale?

To me it the whole thing was somewhat ruined by Asher’s inability to save himself.

The one thing I learned from The Curse is always have small bills.

I only saw the finale a few days ago (mostly unspoiled, aside from seeing the AV Club headline “Oh. My. God.” which was thankfully vague enough) and... yeah I dunno. Still processing. My gut reaction upon watching it was visceral, to be sure, but it also left me with this unpleasant, icky feeling, like I just did not…

I feel like people were immediately delving into what it meant over on Reddit, but maybe that’s just the purpose of Reddit.

I’m two weeks late to this party, but I can’t help thinking of how the previous episode ended when I think of this one: Asher telling Whitney “If one day you don’t need me anymore, I’ll vanish. You won’t even have to say anything, I’ll just feel it and I’ll be gone.” And in this episode, with the birth of their child,…

We don’t know what the specifics of Dougie’s curse entailed, but we do know the last thing Nala cursed someone with was to “fall,” which the other girl eventually does. 

of course his reaction to a supernatural phenomenon around him would be that he must have caused it.

What the fuck did I just watch? I don’t mean that in a bad way but a genuine mind blown what the fuck. I liked basically all of Fielder’s projects but I wasn’t really feeling The Curse that much. So much of the series was just filled with cringey dread and anxiety. It moved slow and you keep waiting for it to go…

I get why the ending is... mixed for a lot of people, to say the least, but I really dug it. I feel like the show said everything it had to say about these people at the end of the last episode: it was clear everyone was stuck in their own miserable little ruts, were incapable of learning what they needed to move…
