Cockpits and joysticks everywhere. Not a yonic depiction of flight to be had.

I saw it in the theater when it first came out!  Here’s what I remember: there are planes in it.  

Tom Cruise 60 is regular person 38.

This triggers a memory of Hot Shots! with Charlie Sheen, which is a parody of Top Gun. In that movie the lead has a line about inheriting his father’s eyes, and then he takes out a box that has the eyes in it.

It’s not concern per se.  More like, there’s a gender issue here, but it’s not that the show ignores the impact of the patriarchy.  Yes to expectation defiance, but the kid murderers are usually fictional, I was talking about dramatized true crime. 

I dunno, I think she’s a pretty good actor.  

Yes, if women routinely responded to the pressures of the patriarchy by becoming axe murderers, things would be ... different. I agree that the reviewer’s off-base as to the potential for telling this particular story in some particular other way. But as I’ve had occasion to note in the past, Hollywood freaking…

I think furiousfroman is right. They put it out there and let people have their own read on it. The way it felt to me as a viewer was that we’re seeing him first angrily rejecting the ritual mourning he is supposed to be participating in at the shiva (and by extension his mother/feelings for her) and then embracing it…

He embraced the kippah after slamming it onto the ground. 

This was amazing, I loved it so much. As a Gen-Xer, the presence (first of all) and outstanding performance (second of all) of Ke Huy Quan makes me smile through tears. Why no review?

Personally I like the eye makeup.  It’s bizarre and unsettling but it’s a fresh red carpet look as far as I’m aware.

The one with Paul Giamatti as God was the best sketch in the entire show, imho.

I love the Minneapolis pride pulsing through every second of that segment.  A real bright spot, this find.

I think what happens is Hollywood producers are like: a woman did something creepy and bad!  This is exciting and low-key sexy in some way!  Whereas whenever the latest young man shoots a dozen people, it’s not fascinating or full of layers that need to be exhumed, it’s just horrible.

You say “characters named He-Man, Skeletor, and Evil-Lyn” as if that’s weird or something.  Ten-year-old me and my bowl of after-school Cheerios would beg to differ.

The source material was some hot garbage. All kinds of tropes from the “unreliable woman narrator in peril” category (most notably the alcoholism from The Woman in the Window), plus throw in the twist from We Need to Talk About Kevin (the book; not sure what they did in the movie) AND the twist from Primal Fear (the…

Agreed!  I really liked that the most beautiful characters were the boy band members.

Right, good point.

To be clear: not leaving, necessarily, but noticing that many have.
