I too have a problem with that phrasing.  Has anyone, anywhere every called Leonardo DiCaprio or Bradley Cooper middle aged?  That’s typically a phrase that gets thrown around at 50+.

Meester / Kelly are this generations’ Susan Sarandon / Leslie Ann Warren.

This show is so leaning into the cheese they probably love that it’s a terrible Russian accent.  Malkovich gets first guest status on any late night show so that’s all they want - exposure.  The whole wonderful cast of The Americans has been available since last Winter if they wanted a real good actor with a Russian…

All your issues with the show can be summed up by one observation:  the writers don’t care about the narrative.  The show is essentially comic set pieces strung together to meet the contractual obligations of the streaming services that are buying.  No show should run this long and no show can possibly retain it’s…

That wasn’t just some random kinky nurse - that was Bebe Neuwirth!

There was a line in TNG after Riker met Kamala from “The Perfect Mate” and she kisses him, knowing he can’t touch her he excuses himself from her quarters and one the door closes he hits his comm and says something like “if anybody needs me I’ll be in Holodeck 3"

The ending was a heatbreaking scenarios that I’m not sure even TNG would have done - they would have found some technobabble way to take all 75.  But - couldn’t they at least have made the shuttle look crowded?  There was room for at least 8-10 more people in there.

What I hate most is when shows aren’t consistent in the worlds they create. This show originally worked very hard to be accurate about Viking culture, but of course there was enough myth and leeway in the historical record to give them quite a freehand in many of the plots. But now that’s all be abandoned. If you…

So he’s Churchill?

Look at Doctor Seuss.  While alive we got a handful of really good animated adaptions, The Grinch being only the most popular, then he dies and we awful live action adaptations and unnecessary animated ones - the more recent Horton Hears a Who being the only decent thing since he died.  

Until they make “The Sound of Music” Sequel.  Seven children and their parents run a ski resort in Vermont - less Nazi’s more fun!

I think you’re already seeing that movie fade out of Christmas rotation.  I mean sure, they’re showing it - but with each passing year the already creepy CGI just looks worse and worse and the kids who loved it when they were young enough not to know better are too old for it now.  

I thought Ragnar made it clear that he never slept with Kwenthrith. “She only peed on me” I believe is the line. That’s the reason they sent him off, not because he was Ragnar’s son, but because he wasn’t. (although he probably is Aethelwulf’s)

Not saying it’s my favorite character, but Stephen Root in “O’ Brother” is just so outstanding.

If only it was that easy

I keep waiting for 78 year old Bert Young to show up for an interview with the “Why am I dead in these movies?” question.

When I was 13 I thought it was awesome.

Since they like messing with the timelines anyway in this franchise - Rocky was about 10 years younger than he should have been in Rocky Balboa, Michael B. Jordan is both too young to be Creeds son, and playing a character like he’s in his early 20's when he’s in his early 30's.  So just have Mr. T come back to boxing…

Not commented on, not part of the plot, not needlessly pointed out - yes that is the right way.  The ethnicity didn’t matter - and they weren’t cookie cutter because they only had a son, not a son and a daughter. ;) 

As to the final fight scene, we’ve seen this problem before in S1 of Iron Fist, which of course had other problems.  When Matt is in his mask and Dex the suit, you can have trained stunt fighters do the action.  In the MCU they have the CGI budget to do anything.  The show is limited by those two issues, so when you…
