Agree! He was mostly logical up until he basically said, “We’re moving to San Francisco, or else!”

We know they’re headed for a breakup. Mrs. F. and I thought the show was doing Toby dirty. But his “solution” delivered after their heartfelt and wrenching discussion was not cool. He wants it all and thinks the best solution is for Kate to subjugate herself. They’re in a difficult spot and his ultimatum did not help.

if I’m going to watch a movie, I’m going to watch it in one sitting; I even hate the “intermission” that Coppola crowbarred into the middle of Godfather 2 LOL. But sometimes directors go a little crazy testing the limits of people’s patience and bladders sharing their “vision” with us and that’s just self-indulgent…

well, i’d like to believe the creators were just underlining how oblivious Judy is to how psychotic and unstable she is, rather than considering her actions hilarious and excusable.

I found it funny, but I was more impressed by the ability of that scene to make me go on the one hand “My god, she is a truly horrible person” and on the other hand “I want to give her a hug” To be able to bring fort both feelings is impressive.

People who write about film for a living—particularly the Very Online ones, like the entire AVC staff—generally think movies and TV shows have a way bigger impact on people’s lives than they actually do.

I was a bit baffled by this statement. This review was...interesting 

Huge difference between manufactured goods for end use versus goods used as ingredients in other things. The “pound of” things need to be left alone, even if labelled 454g.

Well, the fact that it’s not in English isn’t necessarily a reason not to have heard of it. It was 2021's highest grossing film for most of the year, it got plenty of coverage in Western media if you follow movie news. As far as I can tell it still hasn’t been released in America though, that’s more of a reason.

As others have noted below, those publicity shots are awful. Firstly, because most people assume what you’re showing is before/after, not after/before. But secondly, because I have watched the Godfather on a few mediums - VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, Blu Ray - and have never seen it presented the way it is shown in those…

tropes that appear in the film are directly responsible for the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes

Was excited to hear that until I read this:

I saw this restored version in a theater a few weeks ago and it was glorious.  You could see the pores on Brando’s face.  It was beautiful, can’t wait for Godfather 2.

The thing about anecdotes is there is always the opposite anecdote. I got a mac after recovering data from a catastrophic failure of my second windows laptop in 4 years.

Predictable. Just a bunch of Apple hating trolls on here.

So hold on are both women named Jackie and one is named Jackie AND Joanna?  I’m confused.

A few years after we bought our house I had to tear out a formal-ish flower garden the previous owner had made, because he had planted peppermint in it, and it had completely taken over.

Totally disagree on the Bad Rap on the Whopper. it’s a Great burger. Not my absolute go to burger but maybe the burger I eat one out of five time and when I want a Whopper nothing else will fill the craving and I have been eating them for more than 40 years. Just because YOU don’t like it does nor mean it should be…

The Whopper is by far the best thing on Burger King's menu and blows McDonald's and Wendy's burgers away. Take away everything that makes it good and dump some gross fucking orange sauce on it and that's supposed to make it better? There are days when I would choose a Whopper over Five Guys or Shake Shack. 

The promo photos show a toasted bun on the outside but it looks like they built yours with the toasted part on the inside. Interesting.
