What you’re telling me is that these terrorists should have put some stakes on a plane.

But, we have a justice system, as broken as it is. It should be used if someone’s breaking the law. If someone’s not breaking the law, then, well... make a new one?
I assume he was trying to give the whole scandal a wide berth, and (if he’s to believed,) needed to go therapy and put in the work. ‘How soon is too soon?’ and ‘how long is too long?’ to return, speak again, address, etc., are not questions can be answered to everyone’s simultaneous satisfaction.
I agree with Mackie’s larger point that fans should stop trying to read queer subtext into every close male relationship in film. People have been doing the shipping thing for a long time now in fandom circles, and it’s really not great. When there’s this push to say “oh, Frodo and Sam are definitely gay,” it degrades…
If you’re talking about Donna, the actress’ name is still in the credits and was filming season 3, so it’s probably being undone.
Went to see Cruella in the theater 2 weeks ago. I could have watched it at home for the same cost, but it’s just something about the big screen and sound that you can’t beat. Plus the theater did a good job of spacing, which will limit seating if people do “flock” to go see this next month.
I am probably too invested in the MCU because I felt the same way, and I’m not even a Loki fangirl. His character had a long arc from The Avengers to Infinity War, so I was doing all the mental gymnastics too. When Mobius asks him why he wants to rule I can’t help but think when he replaces Odin how he does nothing…

None of them have been in my kitchen.
Ditto. Incredible. It's not even acknowledged by anyone. Just a stone cold "deal with it". That'll teach me for being a loyal visitor since 2008, I guess. What website is a good replacement?
Text plays differently than visual work, but eh, I don’t think GRRM is a great gauge. The line between depicting a misogynistic world and creating a misogynistic scene is variable—and can be exploitative even when it’s going well. Of the 3ish books I read (so not all the Ramsey stuff), Martin’s judgment is not always…
To me, Arya was always the payoff and the sole redeeming wrapup. The rest with poor Bran was like the saddest writers camp on how not to do it.
They also took dogs raping a girl out, so holding GRRM up as some standard is dubious at best.
I feel like my daughter is old enough to watch the show now, but I can’t help but feel like it’s ultimately just not worth it. I would love to watch her face during the Red Wedding, but knowing there are five seasons of drop off after that makes me question whether it’s worth the commitment.
Yeah, it was pretty clear what was happening/going to happen. It was a very, very, very dark/creepy scene. One reason why my girls haven’t seen it yet.
Yeah, IIRC, Denzel Washington was waterboarded in “Safe House” but in a way that made sure he wasn’t, you know, actually being tortured.
I felt like that was heavily implied. Maybe I’m just misremembering at this point, but my recollection is that the scene cut just before that was clearly going to happen.
I like to imagine Strange is just constantly using the “14 million possibilities and this is the only way we win” thing for all aspects of life. “Sorry I didn’t do the dishes, Wong, but I checked 8 million scenarios and there was only one in which they got done: by you doing them.”
The Time Stone was destroyed. There's nothing left to enforce his bargain with Dormamu. He's very busy.
