I had no idea it was a two parter, and there was a lot of screaming at the screen in my theatre by randoms lol, which made it a memorable viewing at least.

OK, I have to take issue with this:

Yes, because there were 40 minutes more story and stunning visuals. 

It’s wild to me that anyone would describe this movie as not having enough heart. The story is about Miles, not his parents, and even if they’re not on screen all the time, the characters are still almost literally asking “Where’s Poochy?” all the time they’re not. The character work here is phenomenal, not just…

Saw this at the first regular screening at my local theater, and gotta say that when what was effectively a “To Be Continued” dropped onscreen, one of my fellow theatergoers effectively summed up the whole vibe with “Ah, that’s some bullshit!”

The Spot appeared in the ‘90s Spider-Man cartoon, where he was especially notable as the only villain who the censors would allow to punch Spider-Man, due to his use of portals making it impossible for kids to imitate.

John Mulaney had a funny Weekend Update segment where he described the Mad Men “next time” segments as being like an ESL class. “This is the door. The door is red. Shut the door.”

Dumber and more delusional. He just seemed less and less likely to grasp anything he’s done or inflicted on people.

Forget it, Ferdinand. It’s Schimkowitztown

Mad Men was like that as well, with the “Next Week on Mad Men” scenes being totally random bits like “close the door”

Hey, maybe a couple of the writers have some serious cheekbones.

Yea, it says “Wow” on my HBO Max thingy, too

I like to think that the main reason Sally doesn’t want John to watch “The Mask Collector” is because they gave Barry the “Tomorrow And Tomorrow” soliloquy that she nailed on that Shakespeare showcase.

Great finale! The only thing that doesn’t add up to me is Sally not going to prison for aiding and abetting a fugitive. Perhaps they skipped over her prison time. Or she claimed Barry kidnapped her. Some missing details there. But I though the finale hit the sweet spot of being both unexpected and satisfying.

For a second I thought we might get a return to acting from Daniel Day-Lewis.

I thought Michael Cumpsty found a real solid balance. It must’ve been hard not to go even harder with it. His restraint is appreciated.

I thought the same thing until I realized that all the Feds Fuches & Barry spoke to when trying to save their asses died during the prison massacre. The FBI agents who were there were the ones who knew the truth about Barry’s role in everything. The only information the higher ups had were those agents initial reports…

Yeah, I wouldn’t say “ready to do the right thing,” but when Sally and John aren’t there, he tells Tom to call the cops. I think it’s only after he realizes that they’re gone that he decides he might as well do the right thing because in his own fucked-up way he cares about Gene. Then Gene kills him.

Hader has talked repeatedly in interviews about how Barry has gotten dumber every season (to the point where he started the final season literally calling Gene from prison to ask if he’d been tricked). In that spirit, “Oh, Wow!” are the funniest last words. I can’t stop laughing about it.
