I loved that show and they cancelled it right when it was really picking up with the lore! And lots of other exciting things were falling into place right when they cancelled it. Ah well, at least Olyphant has Fargo and Colby Minifie has The Boys.

I understand why they would do that, even though the actresses received training it is unfair to expect them to consistently take the abuse that actual wrestlers go through, but it was one of the reasons I didn’t like season three as much as 1-2. Three had almost no wrestling or even wrestling adjacent stuff. I loved…

The Orbison cover in “Blue Velvet” was hypnotic, beautiful, scary, and completely rewatchable for many reasons. It is hard to top Heath Ledger running around/crooning and being equal parts seductive and ridiculous. Ledger, and his character, really throw themselves into that performance

Gorillas are extremely intelligent animals so I think they’d have better sense than to stick their genitalia anywhere near that orange blimp. You’d have to have him get raped by a jellyfish or something else without a brain. Though yeah, getting raped by a jellyfish does seem to be extremely painful so he deserves…

Also his death could serve to rally a lot of his more fervent, conspiracy theory followers who believe that the deep state either let him die in one of their socialist hospitals or got their beloved supreme leader sick in the first place. Also, President Pence has a sick ring to it.

The finale was harsh but the giant, multi-set karate fight that led up to it was awesome. It supports my theory that this Cobra Kai takes place in an alternate universe where high school karate is like pokemon in that it ubiquitous and recognized in every part of people’s lives and is a huge factor in social standing…

yeah I’m not a fan of that cliche. While the point of something being cliche is that it is an trope that is so well worn that it is predictable and unimaginative, “Cobra Kai” has kind of made it a point of using those with a wink and a nod to the many 80's cliches that the original movies utilized, not really…

I liked them both a lot but I agree with your assessment. Season one was a wild ride and season two was more of a museum tour. Both enjoyable but in different ways. Some of the drama of season one was cliche, though with a knowing wink and the drama of season two was just hyperserious and forced.

It gives you the feeling that his compartmentalization and management is going to slowly crawl over from the sexual realm of their relationship into other areas and then he’s just going to be a controlling force and worst of all claim he’s doing it “out of love” or some such nonsense. “the woman *I* love wouldn’t go…

I think it is less of polyamory being “trendy” and more of it being destigmatized and some of the stereotypes (key parties, swingers, older people trying to get their groove back) being swept away in favor of it being treated more seriously. Like lots of things that might seem new to this generation, such as gender…

Absolutely, couldn’t agree more. Keaton doesn’t do awards bait, in my opinion. And even if it was a super hero movie, he deserves an award for that driving sequence in Spider Man Homecoming.

Or trans people can also get murdered by bigots. JK is doing fine.

From what I understand people were upset about the film because it is quite different from the historical reality of the people involved. Though as a screenplay adaptation of a novel, if people enjoy it, that’s fine. Lots of historical films that aren’t even adapted from novels mess around with the details of what…

While he might not have phrased it perfectly, I agree with you in the interpretation. Not feeding the Rowling-troll is definitely the way to go with this. She has proven she’s not going to change her mind in the face of overwhelming amounts of data and testimony about trans people, so giving an already obscenely…

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is my favorite thing that Moore has ever done and given the extreme amount of intricate allusory work that he did that stretched all across the realms of Victorian era fiction, while also delivering a good story and unique turns on classic characters, I think it is probably his…

I felt the same way. Winning for doing a historical reenactment of one of those “important men of history” should not get you a win over the more creative choices that Keaton showed in “Birdman” and I realize that film could be semi-autobiographical for Keaton given the subject matter and his history, though he still…

TFE had camp across the board for sure and then also an extra serving of concentrated camp in the form of Chris Tucker. He was really into it! Gary Oldman was a distant second and still was very high on the camp spectrum

Daaaaaamn. Nailed it! I’m going to have to remember and paraphrase that for the future. Because, sadly, I don’t think the issues she so eloquently and completely addressed are going anywhere. Online and in person bullying specifically that of trans people.

They are going to have to stretch the limits of acting to have someone so likeable and nice portray someone so repugnant. Thankfully, Gillian Anderson is a top notch actress in addition to being a cool person.

Yeah that one is golden. So much so that I still vaguely remember the process that got the character to the point where he got that unique name/rank combo and I haven’t read that book in ages. Though I liked it a lot! Might have to give it a re-read, even though I recall it made me depressed.
