At least Molina is being a sensitive pee baby the right way.

The only thing worse than Veterans would be, like, a blatant racial slur or something.

Why does Three Billboards keep getting roped into these discussions? It’s a film about police brutality, not race—although the two are often connected in real life, they aren’t in the movie. Secondly, it’s a fucked up black comedy where none of the characters are intentionally pure evil or pure good; it ends with the

I think the sequel had Hugh Grant, who a lot of people really loved (I thought he was good, I always prefer Asshole Grant to Loveable Grant, but if there was something about the movie that was overrated it was him), and that was a change from the original. But what I really liked was the continuation instead of

*hard stare at Dowd*

Attlee wasn’t Prime Minister until 1945, after Germany had been defeated. Previously he willingly joined Churchill’s wartime coalition (as Deputy PM, I think).

She dodged a bullet that wasn’t going to hit her in the first place, apparently?

Is Cannon Guy now suffering shell shock after the Great War, obsessively loading and discharging his firearm in a vain attempt to fight off a murderous Hun that still haunts his dreams?

Wait, You’re Telling Me That Wasn’t The Last Unicorn? Ah, Shit.

Fwiw, I work as a subtitler, and though things may be different in the USA, getting a script is incredibly rare and, to be honest, kinda useless as often things get changed on set. I’ve only ever had access to scripts for the occasional kids show and maybe a movie or two.

I’m glad someone else noticed the misspelling of deserts. I was watching with subtitles on, and even the subtitler, who presumably had access to the script, misspelled it.

The eggcorn of “just desserts” instead of “just deserts” has become so common it’s basically canon at this point.

Do we think the gang have been thrown into another (intensely detailed) simulation? Or have they actually been thrown back in time (confirming that afterlife time is out of slip with ... uh ... peri-life time) and living their real lives? In which case are they going to get to live out their lives until the next thing

“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and

Jameela Jamil did some very nice acting in that scene with Tahani’s parents. She played the various levels of hurt, sadness, and resignation just beautifully and still got laughs (her reaction to the joke about her sister dedicating her album to her went from genuinely touched to comically peeved in a microsecond).

All of their tests were ingenious, because they figured things out but they still failed the test (aside from Eleanor). Tahani’s test, especially, was harsh — because she got past all those celebrities and servants rooms, but as soon as she saw the room with her parents, you knew she was going to walk through it.

Megan Amram recently revealed on Twitter that the first few times she heard Jason’s “BORTLES!” rallying cry she didn’t know what it meant, and thought it was just a nonsense word. Tiya Sircar said she didn’t know either and just thought it was an idiotic mispronunciation of “bottles.”

I also loved how impressed Eleanor was with Tahani’s somehow American demon character.

If I were Megan Amram, I’d have about five times that number of puns on that list.

He’s very attractive and Chidi is sweet, he just needs some therapy and a steady dose of anti anxiety drugs.

I like that when Jason was saying “Or 420, or 69!” Eleanor held out her hand for a low five.
