She’s become a caricature of a caricature.

Can we put this on Clover’s lit Xmas playlist?

If they Kardashians were your in-laws, would you actually want to visit them for the holidays?

I asked my husband if he would dig the whole murder/sex thing and he said, and I quote “Is that not what we’re doing now? I’ve got Christmas all backwards. I should shop for a new gift....”

Or what if you both went kind of nutty, and started pushing the boundaries with each other, to the point that, after a few years of this social devolution, it got to he point where you two were just full-on trying to murder each other constantly,  with occasional truces for sex.

But then you don’t get to have the narrative being the gross boyhood fantasy (that many boys grow up without ever growing out of, it seems) that all it would take for that hot, popular, funny girl who is way out of your league to like you back would be to have her all to yourself on an island or something. Because…

We’d probably have to partition the ship into his half and my half. And I say that with all the love in the world.

The impressive thing is that I thought the movie looked stupid from the trailer but I assumed the premise would be something worse like the ship’s mission was somehow sinister (sending everyone to an alien organ farm, or to fight a war, or something else not-a-colony). I was unprepared for the reality to be somehow…

I think that’s what makes the movie doubly messed up since another pod (a man’s pod, of course) was malfunctioning. They just had to pound it into the audience that he had to force another person to join him in his misery and slow march to death because she was young and hot.

It seriously blows my mind that anyone would design a spaceship with a bar and a pool but no redundacies for freakin’ life support.

Sure, that’s why I said this episode calls her maturity into question, not that she’s automatically an awful person who has never said or done anything of value. With the photo hacking, she was personally victimized and spoke out strongly in defense of herself and others who had been impacted by that awful shit. She…

Oh god, the “twist” *was* that Pratt let her out because he was lonely? And the trailers just hid that but felt okay showing off that both Fishborne and Gracia were in it (thus spoiling that it wasn’t a two-person film).

It should have been a psychological thriller. It’s slowly revealed to the audience and her character that he intentionally opened her pod because he’s gone nuts being alone for years. He finds out she knows and tries to kill her Jack Torrance style, she then finds out she isn’t the first woman he’s let out of a pod.…

My 20s were filled with trying to undo the brainwashing of these “guy behaves in a shitty way - IT’S ROMANTIC!” movies/books/everything. I put up with a shitty boyfriend for too long when I was 23 because I believed his moodiness and crappy behaviour were signs of a deep, thoughtful guy, who just needed the right…

But how does Gus die? Does he simply drop dead from the horror of being in this shitty movie? Does he die because he too is horny? Why Gus? WHY?

See easy fix & now he’s an actual hero. Make them just be people living & trying to survive together for years on the ship while it slowly falls apart from the damage & then have then come to love each other in time because they see how awesome the other person is. Her with her book knowledge & him with his fixing…

So OT, but is there a reason besides “looooove” they don’t just take turns hibernating in the pod? Meaning they would be in their 70's when they land, which can’t be so bad in this super-advanced future. And they would then get to see the new planet, other people, etc. Is this even considered?

Right? SUCH AN EASY FIX! Maybe several pods got damaged! Ta da! No more stalker underpinnings to the story!

What?!?!? He wakes her up on purpose cuz he’s lonely/horny knowing that she’ll die too? What the ever loving fuck is that? They couldn’t have come up with something happening to her pod too, like just when he’s about to commit suicide in despair or something? Especially since Laurence Fishbourne’s pod is damaged too?…

My thanks to Bobby as well. I briefly contemplated seeing it because I like space movies and Michael Sheen, but this is not worth it. I’ll save my money or see Rogue One again or buy myself a couple of lattes or something instead.
