It’s a generally well-made movie in most aspects (writing, acting, direction, all the technical stuff, etc) that is absolutely unnecessary because it does almost nothing different than the Nolan films. Not that Nolan’s films were perfect, but this new flick is so similar in style, themes, plot, and characterization…

Unrelated: but just got around to watching The Batman.

An entire town of Rorys?

The biggest problem with the post-Avatar 3D trend was that Avatar was designed to be in 3D from the very beginning, so everything had a sense of true depth to to it ( the depth “rounded” correctly with appropriate depth of focus blurring and what not). Pretty much everything after that was filmed in 2D and (for all…

I hadn’t thought of that but it would make sense. The third personality has been handled so weird though, after multiple heavy-handed “hints” we have the perfect episode to reveal him, and instead it doesn’t come up at all? Why even include that third sarcophagus last episode if the boys weren’t going to even…

Olenna Tyrell would fist bump Nacho for that comment. 

Kim’s going to be fist-deep inside a toddler’s chest cavity ripping their heart out by the end of the season and I’ll still be like “honestly love that for her”

Poor Nacho.

I was watching a YouTube channel about coffee, and the host was “restoring a thrift store espresso machine that is almost 20 years old!”

There’s plenty of things that Biden could do without congress, like decriminalizing marijuana and canceling student debt. COVID policy is set by the executive branch as well. Biden can’t just get a pass because of congress.

Well, with Bruce Willis getting out of acting, the low-budget, direct to streaming film producers will need another former big name star for their productions. Maybe Depp can fill the void but even the low-rent producers may not want his stench on their product or his presence on their sets.

There-in explains the EXACT reason we need better history education in schools. The bully pulpit isn’t about BULLYING. Theodore Roosevelt coined the term and by ‘bully’, me means ‘excellent’ or ‘superb’. The phrase means you have an excellent position to raise awareness of an issue.

Could it also be that the President’s powers are also semi-vague and presidents from Teddy Roosevelt to Trump found ways to get their agenda pushed through and at times deliberately bypassed Congress to do so?

More likely his approval rating is tanking because people fully understand the implications of the phrase “Bully Pulpit” despite it not appearing in any ‘official’ role of the President and see the President absolutely refusing to use it in any capacity.

They called your parasocial grandpa a cunt, they didn’t put him in a camp. Jesus.

What did Dan Aykroyd do? 

didn’t even realize it was supposed to be a plot twist.. i just thought “ah, they are doing a legion/buffy/harry potter thing where this is the afterlife, false memory, illusion.. k carry on”

Even though Donna's no longer writing for the AVClub, I was a bit surprised to see no mention of it in the reviews. Didn't have to be a link to the new home or anything. Just a "thank you to Donna for fourteen years of writing about the New Mexico drug trade. I know I've got big shoes to fill but I hope you'll read…

I’ll follow along here for the season. But folks, if Donna Bowman’s writing on BB/BCS meant anything to you over the years- as it very much does to me- I’d encourage you to check out her new home for tonight’s episode and the rest of season 6 to come. You might recognize someone else there too.
