So their “teenage” karate kids will be well into their 30's when it airs?

I agree with you about that. David and Patrick were fine together, but the latter just existed for relationship drama with David and teaming up with Stevie or Alexis to be snarky. Speaking of Stevie, I kind of wish they’d explored a potential dating scenario with her and David because she’s a great character on her…

I’ve only read the Iain Banks stuff so far, the non science fiction, but the premise of the Culture universe seems incredible. They just don’t have any of it at my library, unfortunately. However, I really enjoy his regular stuff, lots of humor, political commentary, memorable characters etc so I’ll probably try to…

They made a miniseries of “The City & The City” back in 2018 with David Morrissey. It was pretty good, it’s on Freevee and Britbox if you want to check it out.

I agree, with so much debate a few weeks back about how S4 was a “return to form” I felt that conversation overlooked a very good S3. The acting was fantastic, Ali/Dorf had wonderful chemistry, and the dialogue felt a bit more natural than S1 (though that also made it a bit less memorable). Also, it balanced three…

I’d nominate Christopher Fitzgerald aka Sonny Shine from “Happy!”

Raw, hmm, I think they prefer their accolades a bit smoked.

Came here to say the same thing about Black. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is my favorite Christmas film. I mean, the whole thing kicks off with RDJ stealing a present for his kid! How much more Christmas do you need?

Those are two of my top comedians. Hopefully neither of them did anything awful towards women, such as Foxx is accused of. RIP both of them. I know not everything O’Neil said holds up in 2023, but I can’t recall Hedberg doing anything untoward.

oh yeah that was a great scene! definitely seems like a mix between being scripted and also improvised

I know this is a tv show, not a movie, but in season 1 of “True Detective” when Woody Harrelson just engulfed and entire bowl of pasta while sitting on the floor and being as gross as possible about it... that can’t leave my mind.

I agree. Though Snowpiercer the film kind of screwed that up as well. Like, you had Chris Evans- Ewan Bremner- Octavia Spencer all eating the same awful “food” yet one is jacked as hell and has apparently watched the “Oldboy” fight during his confinement, the second is as skinny as his Trainspotting character, and…

Oh yeah, there are lots of good stories where the potential to become a monster was always there. Classic, “Lord of the Flies” they were all prep school kids. I think his point, and Golding’s, was that no amount of schooling or learning where to place a spoon and fork will prevent humans from becoming monsters. Though…

More of a false equivalency than a tautology. Especially since this site clearly has the studios to blame, and in no way considers the struggles of the studios against the writers+actors as redundant or interchangeable.

You’re probably correct about the timing of Beetlejuice, however, I’m still excited. I saw the film as a teenager and an adult and I still love it. The returning cast seems great, I don’t think O’Hara, Ryder, or Keaton have lost a step, and all the new additions are formidable. Besides, most of the dialogue in the…

While I think my favorite Ballard adaptation is still “High Rise” with my man Hiddleston, the best book of his that always resonates with me is “Concrete Island” hell that at least makes me drive the speed limit.

That’s like staging “Saving Private Ryan” and “All Quiet on the Western Front” in the same evening. They are both a bit brutal and about war, but total different tones.

Princess Mononoke is pretty dark. Castle in the Sky not only introduced me to anime films, but how 90% of anime villains have dark glasses that gleam when they’re about to be eeeeevilll.

Stay to the light!

Yes, that part where they search the basement (the first time) and find what they find... then have to check out a second basement just to stay alive, but also that balances the kid’s “light” ah that really got me. McCarthy is great, but he definitely needs to stay in art house films with talented directors and not…
