I’ve suspected this about recognitions too, to be honest.

Because it’s incredibly entertaining and smart. Weird that some people like that.

Tarantino makes incredibly entertaining and interesting movies, often choosing anti mainstream appeal things like shooting and screening in expensive 70mm, tackling uncomfortable topics that are becoming more and more taboo, and taking risks, like making Hateful Eight kind of long and a bit slower than his other…

You did miss something. Sorry. I know that’s a rude thing to say. I know it’s obnoxious.

Again, it baffles me this is the reaction the film gets. “All the movie was about.” It’s so weird because every moment of the film to me is shouting out meaning and nuance and commentary on an extreme meta level but also brimming with great character stories too, and really, really complex ones, as in the complete…

Basterds is pretty brilliant on several levels. I think it may be his most complex and layered film (and this is aside from being uproariously entertaining.) It completely stuns me that it’s dismissed like that.

The original article is really badly written and makes nothing clear about this.

Oh my god that sentence was completely confusing to me too. I was worried I was having some sort of brain problem.

Yeah. I don’t ask for much but I feel like I shouldn’t be able to think of better questions for supposedly great lawyers to be asking a witness.

“While The Thinker hasn’t been a terribly engaging villain, Kim Engelbrecht’s turn has mostly been a winner”

I did find it odd that Skinner was telling Mulder about the alien hybrid conspiracy as if Mulder didn’t know about it. And it was just odd to hear Skinner talk so matter of factly about the mythology. But I mean isn’t Mulder beyond intimately familiar with this stuff?

Yeah! Maybe I’m dumb but obviously you were supposed to assume he’s the doctor. It was a red herring that totally got me. Gotta hand it to them.

I Like Fun won’t leave my speakers.

“So yeah, there was a decent chunk of time when I was prepared to hate this—or if not hate it, at least strongly dislike it”

Loved it! This season has just been really working for me after the horrendous finale. Every episode should get an A based on the fact that got a C or whatever.

This is all so miserable for me. Lindelof and this director and whoever else going from The Leftovers, a show I loved so much, to this ethically questionable adaptation that nobody wants, it’s awful. I don’t want to watch it and I hate that Linfelof, a guy I’m constantly in the position of defending (loved 100% of…

I turned off Scanners halfway through. Me and my girlfriend were both falling asleep during it. I was so excited to watch it too. I don’t think I’m into Cronenberg.

I just don’t find Trump jokes funny, I find them both beyond over done (it is literally all there is 24/7, nonstop, impossible to escape) and also upsetting...to put it another way, I want my wonderful X-Files to have nothing to do with Trump and to not constantly remind me of Trump. I get that it’s ripe for parody…

Darin Morgan exclusively writes about how we are all alone in this universe and that episode is as good as any final thesis on the subject.

I am aware. Dreamland would be a great recommendation but so much of the humor is based off of being intimately familiar with the series.
