the king seems content in his marriage (to, I will stress once again, an underage girl)

The dragons aren’t real!  Thanks for ruining the magic 

I don’t mean to be rude, but these reviews are the worst....snarky recaps with almost no substance and numerous incorrect inferences. Anyone have a recommendation for true reviews of the episodes?

I’d love to see her review of the first Blackadder series, with scenes like Blackadder giving his ten year old wife some milk before bed.

I object to Jenna’s description of the final battle as thrilling — everything about it was totally obvious and not shot in an interesting enough way to make up for that. This is my biggest complaint about this show so far: it just seems like box-ticking and moving pieces into place.

Everyone knows that football comes down to the “X”s and the “O”s. Which is why XOR NFL Challenge from the mid-80's rocks:

Magnolia was indeed a great film! ...shame about the other half an hour.

Trust me, this is by no means “bad” Anderson.

He was really good in Altered Carbon, the first season is great.

I still don’t understand why people can’t see that the Lee fight flashback is obviously from an unreliable narrator. Same as DiCaprio’s character nailing the scene with the little girl.

Trucking company I used to work for had one of those. It was an enormous piece of shit, but most of that was because it was 30 years old and had been abused its entire life. No horsepower, 9 speed, and cramped.

There have been variations on this theme throughout history but it was usually posited as a thought experiment, not something to be taken literally. The flat earth trope was sort of a running joke for years in the same manner. Suddenly people started taking it as a real thing.

Room 237 seemed to be based on the presumption that any opinion, no matter how out there and uncredible, deserved to be heard. Obviously that movie is not responsible in any way for what we’re seeing play out now but I can’t think of a thesis that has aged worse than that one. No, your insanity does not automatically…

OH! I stand corrected: thrice.

I mean he was asked about the guy’s music, not whether he cared about him being alive or not. Meh is a perfectly valid response when asked about someone’s music. And who’s being disrespected? The dead person with millions of mourners, who was rich and famous in life, who was widely lauded for his accomplishments in…

I assume you’ve never read the books.

“Bullets Over Broadway” missed out on a Best Pic nom but was nominated for many others (inc. Best Director) and won Dianne Wiest her second Oscar (“don’t speak!”). It should be part of the conversation as well.

Unpopular opinion but I think Shawshank is in pretty much the same category as Forrest Gump. Where Forrest winning out over Pulp Fiction is definitely the triumph of Old Hollywood over New, I think Shawshank is also pretty Old Hollywood, the gritty R-Rated Yin to Gump's sentimental PG-13 Yang

Shawshank and Pulp always dominate that argument, but I’d put Quiz Show up against either of those two any day.
