Absolutely agree :-)

Lulz alright.

The moment Daniel Craig opened his mouth and let that accent out, I thought, “Oh, this is a bit”. Cut to an hour and half later and, ni, that accent was meant to be real. “Funny” only in the sense that watching a dung beetle roll turds into balls is kinda sorta funny when you think about it.

Just shouting out ‘Hello Earth’ and ‘Under Ice’… incredible, haunting songs.

Am I alone in absolute loving The Nevers? I feel like coverage of the show (here, indiewire, etc.) has skewed toward the negative. I just inhaled the show over the last two days and have fallen head over heels for it - the acting is fantastic, I adore the cast of characters, the storyline isn’t twisting itself into…

Fair and balanced.

Either Big dies and Aidan shows up at the funeral, then “rescues” Carrie from her devastation. Or, Big goes to jail for some reason (any reason). I feel like that’d be a less awkward prelude to Carrie and Aidan bumping leathery, Cabo Wabo scented naughties.

Finishing Half of A Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie... not my favorite of her works. Something about this one feels a little repetitive, even if the central story setting is interesting enough; just feels lipke a remix of her better works. Purple Hibiscus is still my personal fav of hers.

Shame she couldn’t deepfake herself some lips, or less real estate on that forehead.

Esther’s Frankie? Or my Frankie? Or, will any old Frankfurter do? Perhaps a kitten named Poundcake, too?

Honestly, I feel like Us has been is most successful to date in terms of story, twist, and presentation. I actively like what he directs/produces, but I feel like his work does require you to wear certain blinders and ignore some poor choices in favor of how likable the writer/producer/director is.

I’m having a very awkward response to this story, one I’m not sure how to respond to other than say: I think all sides are correct and valid in their feeling on this one. We don’t get to dictate to Hogg what he does with his life and it doesn’t seem like he’s directly baiting his survivor status for profit (other than…

Funny how quickly you can stop a Bullshit Train with a well worded letter from legal reps, and their on-air reactions only reenforce that they *knew* from the jump they were peddling bunkum. The crowd that looooves shouting “fake news” at stories they don’t like seem awfully fond of consuming and creating verifiably…

THAT PART!

Totally agreed. You could tell at some point a higher-up saw the daily’s and sent down a note that probably read something like, “Ratched; can’t fuck her, so make her nicer.” It started off as a villain’s origin story, and was kinda fun and just interesting enough for the first two episodes. Somewhere in there,…

Well... ok, you’re right. I guess I just focused on the losing and then the team being dissolved aspect :-p I got the feeling from the first episode that he had become sort of a laughingstock?

....of the drama category. Yes.

Legitimately surprised to see so much Ratched in the noms. I know it had some great actors doing their best with the least but, wow, what a cringey stinker of a show. I know it was a deliberate choice to mimic to melodrama of old movies/acting styles, but it just didn’t translate for me. Much as I really do try not to…

Man, I did not wanna like Ted Lasso because, in theory, it’s a combo of subgenres I couldn’t care less about: Sports? Check. Soccer? Check. Male-lead drama? Check. Another story of a straight white guy failing upwards? Check.
