Ratched’s characterization from the Chief’s point of view was pretty terrifying. Even the adaptation that shifted the POV to McMurphy still did a great job of portraying her as a mix between artificial, aloof, witholding, and then actively sadistic. Whether part of an oppressive combine or someone who personally only…

I said the same thing, but it is stuck over in “pending”

I love him, he can go from funny to deadly, just get completely cold and serious at the drop of a hat. Especially in “Justified” in “Deadwood” he was angry pretty much all the time. Was nice seeing him chill out in “Santa Clarita Diet” and then get back to his marshal shenanigans in “Fargo”

I’m glad the article mentioned Willem Dafoe and “Wild at Heart” because that was also a hell of a performance.

He sounded asleep the entire time except for when he was making self-aggrandizing references.

Herzog!

Yay! Hope the power doesn’t go to his head. Burton is pretty funny in this

“Bright red marsupial, hanging out on the sequel’s set” Echidnas are Monotremes not Marsupials. Yes I’m fun at parties, why do you ask?

That’s a good way to frame it, though I feel like I could say ‘I’m going to see the new Daniel Kaluuya movie” and my friends won’t need to check their phones on that one. I guess part of that is I know my friends are familiar with his work, and I don’t know how many people have seen “Us” or “Queen and Slim” or “Judas…

I think that is Reed at his core from the main universe, kind and super generous, even to his enemies, and full of guilt. But it is interesting seeing other takes on him, not just from the Council of Reeds, but from Ultimate Reed and from “1234" and other kind of abstract versions where his love for science can…

This might seem like silly typecasting, but I always though Glenn Howerton would make a good Doom. Because classic Doom in the comics had some ridiculously over the top lines, that have to be said with a pinch of self-aware pomposity, and I think he could nail it. Modern Doom is also pretty great at being a parody of…

You mean this guy?

I think he’s upset that WB is using a bland corporate boilerplate response to an issue of racial injustice, implying that they are for progressive struggles against racism, when his practical experience with them is that they belittled him in a racist manner. His demeaning experience with WB affects his opinion on…

And then the Wendy’s saucy rebuttal. They really do aim for being sass-masters over there.

Kaluuya is definitely an A-lister in my opinion. Though that doesn’t invalidate the main point you made.

Also, when you choose to say it. I don’t mind Fisher being “an asshole” about Whedon and WB because they were the ones in power and chose to treat him and many other people poorly, so it is a bit of retribution. Also, being nice and polite when trying to change things rarely accomplishes anything. However, as I…

And Major League Baseball! AKA, the sport where half the analysts and commenters still clutch pearls and young Central American/Caribbean players doing bat flips and “desecrating the honor of the game” etc. You know you screwed up when MLB shakes their head at you.

Yeah it is like, how blind do they think people are? This would be akin to chick-fil-a sending out supportive LGBTQ hashtags during Pride month, everyone knows that they spend their time and votes the other way. Then again, lots of corporations do that, donate a ton of money and help lobby for reactionary, right-wing…

I agree, such a world-weary yet persevering character. Reminds me of if his CIA character from “Charlie Wilson’s War” had pissed off a lot of people (very likely) and gotten reassigned to this thankless post in Germany, and had calmed down a lot. Sort of reminded me of “The Wire” as well. I love that movie, even if I…

Mandala effect!
