    I feel like we’re celebrating a decent movie so enthusiastically largely because of the stench of most of what’s come before it. Like the movie he’s in, Killmonger is a decent villain played by a decent actor, which compared to the mostly lousy movies and villains we’ve seen from Marvel has been very refreshing.

    Just finished 4th episode, I so adore this show, has to be the most underrated thing on air recently. My only minor qualm with it is the almost complete absence of modern classical music, both on screen and in the score. If you’re portraying the modern world of classical music and trying to paint it with the energy

    It’s a lot more character-diverse than Bored to Death which centred on three white males, I’d say that’s the biggest difference. Also I find it a bit more faster-paced and audiovisually rich, but otherwise sure there are a good few similarities.

    Easy, either there was a supply shortage of real guns from that stash, or it was convenient for the plot.

    There have already been too many paradoxes for that to be an issue... and hard to believe Enoch went immediately straight to space after cryofreezing Fitz.

    Just finished the first two eps, man this is such a missed opportunity. The show is watchable, mainly thanks to being incredible visually, but the writing is so clumsy it might as well have a “how to avoid genre tropes” screenwriting course based on it and whoever cast the main roles should be shot to the head with an

    Exactly. So your point being...

    Guys relax, we’ll be seeing Enoch again too. He’s still alive in the past, remember?

    No need to record audio, a video feed seems pretty necessary though if there isn’t someone there 24 hours. Also, doctor-patient confidentiality doesn’t really apply in any army, navy or similar organisations (which Star Fleet definitely is). For obvious reasons army doctors have a duty to report soldiers’ conditions

    The first episode was insanely good. I did not remember Sharon Stone was this good. Have always been a Soderbergh fan but this might be one of his better works if it keeps the level up. Ace review too.

    I can see why.

    Not to mention for Best Visual Effects, Best Editing, Best Set Design etc.

    It’s fine if you didn’t enjoy it, it’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but no need to call it dumb when it clearly wasn’t.

    Yes you sort of make it, and then you go on to say you nevertheless focus purely on the visual aspect when deciding on your Best Director vote.

    Agree, I can’t stand Eastwood in general but that was a good film.

    Of course it was, and yet it’s a classic that people still remember and bring up. His whole shtick was always that over the top stylish pizzazz, but at least for a while this also came with very distinctive and daring vision that made for memorable films. I also watched The Doors again recently and still enjoyed it.

    a) Some of these are very arguable and Oliver Stone doesn’t belong on that list at all. He’s been awful from Alexander onwards but prior to that he made some excellent movies, even a couple of classics. Chazelle has so far made two films and both of them have been very good. I fucking hate Mel Gibson and can’t even

    Shame about JCVG, but at least no bad news so far about the much superior Patriot. They said a while ago they renewed it for a 2nd season, but since nobody I know has heard of it I keep dreading a u-turn.

    I’m sorry but that’s an awful way to judge Best Direction, there is so much the director does other than where the camera was placed, and if anything as you practically said yourself this is the cinematographer’s job anyway.
