I didn’t read the book, but the show seemed to work far better in standalone episodes than as a continuous narrative. The larger mythos never seemed terribly coherent, nor all that necessary.

I know it was hated on. But I’ll be goddamned if Lindelof’s-produced movie The Hunt wasn’t entertaining AF. And that everything to do with her performance. It confounds and infuriates me that Netflix so unceremoniously canceled GLOW after already greenlighting a 4 th season. Especially b/c it ended on such a sad

Clearly she is  either Gay or a big fat party animal, so it is allowed.

Problem with Rogue One is they had this awesome idea: What did the theft of the death star plans look like? And then had to back fill 2/3 of a movie to get there.

And it was just fine. The last 1/3 rocks. But the buildup is at best ok. Krennic is awesome though. Such a perfect character and played to perfection.

Oh goodness…there were what, two good movies, and the rest were various shades of mediocre or bad?

I feel like they had a rough outline of a plan but various upheavals - Trevorrow leaving, Fisher sadly passing - threw that plan out the window and we got stuck with Rey Palpatine.

The great thing that worked well about the original trilogy was that they were still essentially stories, not mysteries. We didn’t end A

Dark City is one of my absolute favorite films, so there’s a part of me that’s a little disappointed that he didn’t become a big auteur or direct any future masterpieces.

The Crow and Dark City are two of my faves. I wish he got more and better work.

Common misconception, but it wasn’t just the final season of Roseanne that was revealed to be her writing, it was the entire series after the season 2 finale. They show a flashback to that episode where Dan and the kids turned the basement into a room for her to write in, and she says she started writing about the

By sheer coincidence, we finished our rewatch of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine tonight. Well, not exactly a “re”-watch, since I only really watched the first couple of seasons, and then sporadically watched the next couple of seasons, then more or less stopped somewhere in season 5. But we rewatched all of TNG last year

Actually The Bus™ on Oahu is amazing. Used it tons while stationed at Pearl.

I really liked his uncredited cameo in American Gangster back in 2007. He brings so much gravitas to his brief appearance.

This page suggests the sequence was: a very minor film role in 1957, then two years in the military, then a larger role on Broadway in 1960.

I guess they figure we’re far enough away from the Matrix trilogy that we don’t remember it very well, but goddamn I do, and those latter two movies were so unbearably horrible, like most everything else the Warchoskis have done since, that I have zero desire to even give this new movie a chance. It’d be like if they

The whole diary/Jess-Dylan thing, if I’ve parsed it correctly, runs thus:

Hell Or High Water is a modern classic!

I know this is going to sound HORRIBLE ... but after reading the headline, was anyone else relieved that his death wasn’t a result of drug abuse or suicide?

It’s not Citizen Kane or anything, but I think it’s pretty damned good. Lambert, Connery, and Brown all give memorable performances, but the writing is pretty good too, full of clever touches: see the Colonial-era dueling scene, or the newsstand guy reading the article about the unsolved murders and asking the cop

I don’t get the “incomprehensibly edited” part, really. If my 56 year-old Ma who’s not into the fantasy genre at all could follow the plot and figure out halfway through that the storylines took place in different timeframes, people more familiar with pop culture should, too.

Show Me a Hero was incredible.
