You can easily have underwritten characters in a giant monster movie, so long as you cast great character actors and have plenty of monster carnage.

No. Subtlety was very much needed and lacking here. This was a pretty great episode for the first two-thirds. In tone and writing it actually felt like a Stephen King take on a very familiar story. You’re right about the tension and dread. Then when Steve Harris entered the story it devolved into a shitty ABC…

My new film got rejected from Slamdance and Sundance, but it’s all okay, because I’m so happy an outsider who has struggled so hard to get his films any kind of notice is finally getting a modicum of attention!

Reread the whole thread looking for this comment; if you hadn’t posted it I would have. Drop the Tin Tin set piece and insert this one. Kiefer crawling up on Casey - ready to blow his fucking brains out... out of mercy! It’s one of Spielberg’s most intense sequences ever. Here’s the music:

Josh McDermitt just told the Walking Dead producers to get fucked and locked himself in his trailer, waiting for that phone call. 

God awful Kevin Sorbo movie is redundant.

““Free speech is free speech—it’s not Jack Dorsey’s version of free speech,” Woods told AP, adding that, if he deleted this particular tweet, he’d have to watch what he says in all his other tweets going forward.” 

Great scott, you’re right!

He broke the rules, fine. But liberals should STILL not want him banned and should not celebrate this. The left no longer cares about the PRINCIPLE of free speech, especially on what are essentially public speech platforms on what is essentially a public utility. But hey, hail corporate I guess.

You’re mostly right, but let’s be fair— a lot of white liberals absolutely do see Russians as a soulless monolith of evil right now.

Birth of a Nation may not have single-handedly revived the KKK but it sure fucking helped. These things do have an impact.

Tom Arnold’s abilities as a madcap, entertaining supporting actor are underrated. He was great in Hit and Run too.

I just got done listening to Karina Longworth’s “Charles Manson’s Hollywood” miniseries on the You Must Remember This podcast, and this actually came up in one of the later episodes.

Pretty sure he’s satirizing that sort of urban elitist mentality.

You saw it on opening day? Were you alone? I think five people (including you) paid to see it in the theater.

Apparently the Warcraft movie did really well in China.

That is because Hispanics often get lumped in with whites in police reports

I have this question every time I hear about men acting awful around women. How do they justify that with their own internal code/logic? No one ever says this behaviour is ok, so I’m assuming it’s an accumulation of “getting away” with these things and that it builds over time...I don’t know, it just seems so against…

Ditto. This is rarely a show I engage with on an emotional level - I normally find myself turning it round in my head like a puzzle -but between the scene in cold storage, Lee losing it over Maeve, that mother crying over the lock of hair and the ending, I was a blubbering mess.
