There is a lot to choose from, but Dog Day Afternoon is my favorite Pacino role. Charisma, vulnerability, raw emotion, showing confidence and fear in the same breath. Also, the fact that such a wild role was based on a real life person, even more intriguing. Usually I feel that if an actor has based their performance…

I think middling is harsh, but it is definitely geared more towards showing off powerful performances from Hoffman and Finney, while not really giving Hawke or Tomei much to do in the B-plot. Speaking of plot, there wasn’t a lot to be had, and other than some really bleak moments that surprised me, a lot of it was…

I think the performances were better than the plot. Like, a lot of it was predictable in that the audience knew things were going to go to hell and Andy was never going to make it to Brazil. A few things surprised me, but I think it was more of a vehicle for Finney and Hoffman. Tomei was super gorgeous, but she didn’t…

I remember this mostly for the scenes Hoffman and Finney shared, that was a masterclass in displaying thinly veiled contempt, but I forgot Michael Shannon was in this! Speaking of guys who can blow up with the best of them.

Oh yeah I’m aware of her history, though I think you’re right that the Olympics were bigger back then. Nowadays I think reality TV probably rivals most Olympic sports in popular viewing, and probably has more American watchers than most events except maybe soccer or basketball. I’m sure there are a group of people,…

I’m not trying to equate coming out as trans with coming out as gay, though they do have some similarities in realizing your personal identity and being brave enough to defy the norms that are imposed on us by a predominately cis-hetero and hypocritically religious society. Anyway, this reminds me a bit of Caitlyn…

I was already more of a fan of The Cure than The Smiths, not that I blame the other members of the latter band for Morrissey being such a jerkoff. However, this makes me retroactively enjoy the Robert Smith/Morrissey feud even more. Cause Robert Smith seems like a chill guy and unlike his counterpart, actually enjoys…

Watching Killing Eve while playing Darkest Dungeon. Beautiful and brutal.

I miss City of Heroes. And I feel guilty for leaving it for WoW.

Samurai Jack, Persona 4, Half-Life, Pokemon Emerald. I guess I have a lot in common with these AV club folks. Though trying to play that Ravenholm level, especially trying to get that “no guns” achievement, while listening to music instead of the sound effects, seems way too difficult to me.

I really didn’t like the end. I did like most of S3, just not final 3-4 episodes and the direction they headed with Ethan and Vanessa. But most of the show was great overall!

I think that was Patti LuPone playing the “Cut Witch” whereas McCrory was the older foxy witch, Evelyn Poole, who seduced Sir Malcolm Murray aka Timothy Dalton! They were both super characters though.

Damn, loved her in “Penny Dreadful” and “Peaky Blinders” what a loss.

Can’t even slice the torso of a Swedish murder machine

For sure, I’ve felt pretty similar. Like, one day meet a bunch of people on gindr/tinder and the next just hide under a blanket for as long as I can. The isolation of the pandemic didn’t make that easier. So even if the guy was atrocious and manipulative, unless all of his depression talk was a carefully constructed…

Gators haven’t been around for millions of years, largely unchanged, without learning a few tricks of what not to eat. You’d think not eating a “Floridaman” would be among the first lessons of Darwinism haha.

A case of free gin and an eventual partner in a Welsh football club stake? Things are turning up for McElhenney. Also, this reminds me of that one episode of “Succession” where Roman can’t think of what to get Logan for his birthday, so he just teams up with his rich friend and buys Hearts. Course, the Hibbies are…

Oh no! Not that face! Too pretty to melt.

I really want to see that movie! Might have to try and see if I can rent it on Amazon, though the last time I tried that, with “Thor:Ragnarok” it showed up on netflix two weeks later. Still, worth the five dollars.

This article makes a good point, I think positioning Shia LaBeouf as the next Indy, also his son, and also a guy named “Mutt” who tries very hard to pull of the relaxed cool aesthetic of young Harrison Ford was way more annoying to me than any of that ancient alien or surviving a nuke in a fridge (which at least…
