Both PROMETHEUS and COVENANT had things I liked about them, but the things I disliked were so glaring…have to admit that if it weren't for the problems, I would have largely forgotten about the new film only 48 hours after seeing it. That's not a very good takeaway.

Very true. I find I'm waiting almost a year for many intriguing global fest entries, longer in some cases. Reading about an interesting film here in Dallas, where we have two Angelikas but sometimes no release of such fare, is a massive tease.

I haven't watched SNL in many years, but found a lot to laugh at over this past season.

If Cooper wants to apologize for being unprofessional, okay. But Lord is garbage, and doesn't deserve the repeated spotlight on CNN. He's one of the two reasons I stopped watching (2: McEnany).

Let me guess:
Emma Stone as Elvira
Clive Owen as Mel Bernstein
And Leguizamo in there somewhere

There's no single element of that film that works very well at all, so I'm inclined to think you're right.

I really liked Ayer's work before SQUAD. But between it and the promise (threat?) of this, I'm really disappointed.

Just saw it, and spoilerish comments aside, one thing I came away with is: Fassbender is not that amazing. His act gets old really fast. I would prefer he not show up for whatever comes next. Which is unlikely.

Agree on that. It was just all way too convenient.

I thought the second half of the episode was a very sweet epilogue to last week's seeming finale. It got me in those final few scenes. I've really enjoyed this season.

Aldrich, Davis, and De Havilland standing around a Coke dispenser…man, that was a great shot.

I saw it as CK who flubbed the tenement sketch, repeatedly, and everyone else going along. Not McKinnon's fault.

I think 13 episodes is an acceptable length…if you make sure that your last 4-6 episodes don't start to flounder when they should ramp up to something amazing.

I binged the first weekend, but have come back to these individual rundowns and damn it, they've made me re-assess an awful lot. The (relatively few) true high points, whether full scenes that worked, performances that were consistently strong, or single lines of solid (often funny) dialogue, all remain bright. But…

Ahem:
"At 19, Daniel is given the chance to attain the power of the Iron Fist by fighting and defeating the dragon
Shou-Lao the Undying, who guards the molten heart that had been torn
from its body. Guessing that the heart provides life energy to Shou-Lao

I've only been watching this since the start of the season, but I'm pleased to see Hannah moving further away from toxic friendships…and not in a shrill fashion. Her quietly turning away from several people in the episode struck me as healthy, despite her seeming unpreparedness for having a child. I'd like to think…

The one fireworks moment comes in the last episode, and it's very quick and rather cheap looking.

Edit: the offices and hotels were pretty sweet.

But the whole season has a somewhat cheap look. I can't imagine they didn't have some kind of budget that would have allowed, if not decent sets, some nice matte paintings.

As a FJM fan I was thrilled to see him live, but on that first song, the balance sure sounded off. He was being overwhelmed by the band. Too bad.
