Farewell Dowd. You and basically everyone working at this site were so much better than J/O Media deserved.

Ragnarok, yeah, but I didn’t see anything particularly specific about the direction of Black Panther.

Lalo is the only character in the whole BB universe who seems happy. He really likes himself, his work, his uncle, and his belts. I want to see what he does next with an enthusiasm that I don’t feel for Gus at all. It will be sad when the show loses the pure joy of his id.

The usual definition of a martyr is someone who dies as a consequence of refusing to renounce their beliefs.  

Somehow, I suspect that this will be the first Malick movie I’ve liked since the New World. With all due respect, it sounds like what Mike views as flaws in Malick might work as strengths for me here. 

I dunno. Kinda seems like you’re awful people.
