Except that according to context clues and the supplemental Peteypedia articles, Drieberg is currently cooling his heels in the federal pen.

As a huge ‘Watchmen’ fan, this episode was THE GREATEST. And yet I dislike the approach of this review. It leans way too much on prior knowledge of the comic instead of addressing what’s actually onscreen.

Yes, the theories around Irons are definitely clarifying themselves.  He’s Viedt!  Yay!  But he’s clearly being incarcerated offworld.  Either by Manhattan, or Trieu, or both.

It’s a selling point for people like me, who will go see Elizabeth Banks’ movie in the vague hope that then she will like us

Bang on. If you live in any part of NYC, Times Square is the one place you almost never go and make every effort to avoid.

As a (suddenly aging) New Yorker, Kang definitely gets the thing where Vince is walking down the antiseptic streets and wondering about all the old vital personalities that used to populate the place. But still, this finale was a bit weak. We get Eileen telling Harvey to fuck off, and then fast forward she made a…

Also, as others have pointed out, Hooded Justice in the original graphic novel was characterized as a ‘nazi’ who had sympathetic views towards the Germans in WWII. As of this episode, the show has done a masterful job of sowing seeds to show why a black American would voice similar opinions.

It is strongly implied that Muller was Hooded Justice in Hollis Mason’s book, and that he was murdered by the Comedian. But that’s from Mason’s perspective, and the story is never confirmed through any of the flashbacks. Gossett is definitely playing Hooded Justice. The colors, the fact that we never saw Justice’s…

The Snyderesque violence was perhaps Kang’s favorite Easter egg in this show which is 99% built out of Easter eggs. It was so on point I almost choked on my seltzer!

There’s a terrific cache of supporting material online at HBO’s site. They’ve clearly given Moore’s Post-Watchmen world A LOT of thought and it’s thrilling to read. Apparently, society ditched most of the Doc Manhattan-related tech after the squid catastrophe— because people assumed it was carcinogenic and/or…

Kevin Smith has Certainly charted a unique career course:  he’s both completely given up while also putting out new movies every few years.

You are confusing plot details with how the story was (mis)directed. And the misery of the characters has nothing to do with the violence, which is lovingly photographed, often in slo-mo, and exaggerated and sexed-up at every opportunity-- The most egregious example perhaps being Rorschach’s wire-fu fight with the…

Danette’s pithy summation that Snyder ‘revels in vigilante violence rather than condemns it’ is very close to the most efficient takedown of Snyder’s effort that I’ve ever seen.

Also, a lot—a LOT of the narrative devices in the original ‘Watchmen’ are filmic. The entire miniseries is built on match cuts.

According to McBride’s interview in the NYTimes, Edi Patterson wrote that entire monologue.  That woman is a FORCE

Cloverfield Lane has zero connection to Cloverfield, other than the same production team.  You can 100% skip the first movie with no consequence.

Here to recommend 10 Cloverfield Lane, then. She’s proves she’s a great lead actress in it, and John Goodman deserved an oscar nomination for his role.

Speaking of Baby Billy’s evisceration of Judy-- His friendly wave goodbye to her as he speeds away in his car, having just wrecked her dreams, is fucking hysterical.

I know Hughes thinks he’s REAALLY FUNNY but the first paragraph of this non-article can fuck right off. First of all, characterizing ‘Silence’ as ‘angry man goes to Japan’ is a verrrrrrrry long reach. At best. But I guess it’s hardy-har-har let’s-make-the-most-reductive-judgement-possible-on-a-great-artist-time at…
