Vaudeville Villain is the one for me, but man, he had a discography to fucking envy

Soul is fantastic. Visually just one of the best films I’ve ever seen, and grapples with weighty themes incredibly lightly and through a fantastic voice cast. Very few complaints about it

“the film remains anchored to an emotional reality—the foundation of quotidian discomfort offered by a terrific Jessie Buckley, finding a personality even as the details about her character begin to shift like sand in an hourglass. She’s our guide through the dense thicket of Kaufman’s imagination: a wondrous…

I love it too, and always have. I think the post-climax writing in The Stand is some of King’s best ever prose, and the character reunion on the last few pages makes me tear up the way few of his other endings have (the last two chapters of IT and 11.22.63 being the other prime contenders)

that Moses Sumney album has been bafflingly excluded from most other year-end lists I’ve seen, props for having it here. I think it’s basically a masterpiece

no Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., no list

most of the featured vocals aren’t from Australians but sure whatever buddy

this was a truly insane release week: The Avalanches’ gorgeous new odyssey, Kid Cudi’s surprisingly terrific new Man on the Moon, Taylor Swift and a Deftones remix album to listen to on the same day! I haven’t even got to the new Black Wing album yet, but Dan Barrett is one of the greatest musicians currently working…

you joke but right before “Africa” they did a cover of “Rosanna” and it... actually kinda slaps?

in fairness, Katee Sackhoff literally doesn’t seem to age in real life, so a character based on her not aging seems pretty accurate

you didn’t miss a lot, the third season was more or less a continuation of the baffling character choices and missteps s2 had, with a handful of cool monsters and moments. 1 was the peak of the show by a ridiculous distance

my vote is Daniel Kaluuya, considering he got absolutely nothing worthy of his talents in the first movie. but Duke is probably better set up to be the character (the whole Kaluuya betraying Wakanda thing might make it a bit awkward)

it really, really didn’t. hip-hop fans almost universally despised it and critics were mixed at best - the AV Club’s A review is literally the only outright positive review by a major publication I can think of

Schwartzman was a caricature this season, he doesn’t deserve any awards for it (I don’t think anyone in s4 does really - even typically fantastic actors like Olyphant and Buckley had almost nothing interesting to work with)

3 possibly hangs together the best thematically, especially on a rewatch. I guess that’s hot take but I’d have it over 1 and not all that far behind 2 (which was just the most fun and had the best set of actors/characters, by far). 4 is naturally dead last

I only thought of it myself this year after Mr. Robot had its finale, but looking back I definitely think that influence echoes through from the start. I wonder if Esmail was actually drawing from Utopia or if it was just a subconscious thing? Either way, I don’t think I’ve seen anything else quite like those two…

it’s a huge shame they couldn’t give a third and final season to the British Utopia but a half-hearted American remake got a chance. I guess that’s the TV landscape for you, but still; I’m convinced we wouldn’t have Mr. Robot if Utopia hadn’t paved the way with its mix of intense violence, gorgeous cinematography and…

ok, I see where you’re coming from here - apologies if that last post came off overly aggressive, but so many people do make excuses for Barrowman and it absolutely baffles me

even if every single actor he’s been around when he’s pulled his dick out on set - or worse touched with his dick on the very first day of filming, as a laugh ha ha ha - are okay with him doing that shit, which is phenomenally unlikely and more a case of said actors not wanting to be labelled as difficult and…

I’ve heard enough extremely questionable and problematic things about John Barrowman on-set that I’m surprised he would just be welcomed back by so many people. I guess maybe the story isn’t big enough to warrant a reaction, but man, Chibnall making such a big stride by casting a female Doctor and then bringing…
