as i keep thinking about this (and i guess that shows what a good show it was since i am still thinking about it) there could absolutely be alternate worlds/dimensions. but the story the kid told molly about his life in the other dimension could be a lie. he could be from another world, but not white henry deaver.…

Exactly. If the Academy had balls they’d update the awards qualification to be at least a hundred theaters. They are still living in a time when a huge release was 500 screen.

“Award qualifying run”? So like, a week on one theater in LA and New York, or what? That’s what they did with Mudbound.

I don’t think this will be more than a very limited release in the US either, the point was to demonstrate how little regard Netflix has for cinemas. They will do as little as they can get away with to compete for awards, and in the Coen Brothers’ case to appease the directors. Lucky for you yanks they didn’t own the…

I, too, far prefer seeing movies in the theater. Hell, I just spent nearly 50 pounds last night for me and my wife to see The Predator in IMAX 3D. If that’s not devotion, I don’t know what is.

Yeah, I chalk that final smile up to writers wanting to have the cake and eat it too. You thought he was a villain? Ah! Look, he was a victim all along! Except, got you, he’s actually a monster! Or is he? Whatever!

Whoever said that about Walking Dead is on crack.

Outta here, Noah Hawley, David Benioff, and dozens of other author/showrunner types I can’t think of off the top of my head!

This won’t be in theatres, simply because because Netflix hasn’t released anything in theatres so far, not even Annihilation which was an audiovisual masterpiece (and was only released on Netflix outside the US). This is why I unsubscribed from Netflix, as much as I appreciate them financing films like Roma,…

Glad to know the Mexican hegemony in film masterpieces is still going on.

Who gets to remind them that the Superman story is just a thinly-veiled metaphor for the the Jewish-American immigrant experience? “Kal-el” is practically a Hebrew name, for fuck’s sake.

It’s frustrating because his performance in UNCLE proves Cavill can bring a lot of warmth and charm to a role, but apparently that’s not what Snyder wanted from him, so instead we got a sulky, glowery Superman who’s about as inspirational as a wet sponge.

I hope they cast Jordan as the next Superman, if for no other reason than to see the racists lose their shit over a non-white Superman. The explosion of fan-boy/white supremacist intersection is going to be delicious. You know what? Let’s turn all the white male superheroes into gay women of color just for fun to see…

I’m sure the response to the possibility of a black Superman will be totally reasonable and measured... Remind me not to go on reddit for a while.

Jordan would do a good job if those reports are true, but I would have gone with a Latino or Middle Eastern actor for Superman. I think that Superman’s story has always been the story of an immigrant who was welcomed to America by its most loving people, and who repaid that love by becoming our greatest champion. I…

I’ve never been thrilled about Cavill as Superman (or - um, Superman in general). But I’ve liked Cavill in many other roles. In my perfect world this would free him up for Man from UNCLE sequels, and also people would want to see them.  (Seriously - it was a great movie and everyone should know that.)

On the ‘resolution’ front it felt to me like Bill Skarsgard is playing two different characters, notice we never get the story of how Lacey found him and what sort of dialogues they might have had at the beginning. That makes me suspect that either he became possessed by the devil at some point shortly after crossing…

Just the fact that I finished this season without the feeling of “this is getting silly” that tends to happen somewhere towards the end of most first seasons, especially in the fantasy/sci-fi/supernatural genres, is a very pleasant surprise. It’s really hard to tell a story like that, with so many moving pieces and…

Five sets allow for comebacks and some fantastic back-and-forths BUT I’m very fine with making each set first-to-four instead of six. Within a set we’re usually just waiting for one break. And when a match is close that break often never comes so we get the tiebreak. Endurance would still be tested, along with every…

This is so disingenuous and misleading, as if Gilbert is alone and the voices of reason are on the other side of the fence. How about Nadal, Federer, Lendl, Borg, McEnroe and the many others who stand by sticking with best of five matches?
