Nice to add the little earthquake as foreshadowing, after the one in the book felt pretty out of nowhere (I don’t consider this a spoiler, because anyone who’s surprised they didn’t just throw in an earthquake scene for zero plot reason probably isn’t watching this show anyway).

The funniest thing is everyone on social media climbing over each other to declare every single second of the movie is obviously inspired by John Wick, because apparently that’s the only badass action movie that anyone knows anymore, and the idea of another action movie being inspired by something else, or even

This almost feels like a scab crossing a picket line. “Sure, they screwed me in the last one, and this new one has a reprehensible political stench on it, but hey, drugs cost money.”

What I’m getting from this is that the film has the exact same pacing as Bound, and I love the hell out of that movie, so I have hopes for this one.

Gosling’s putting a big hole in the popular narrative that there are no true “movie stars” anymore.

It’s also very nice that at long last, the record isn’t because of a fucking yellowface role that was stolen from a genuine Chinese actress.

According to a bunch of social media, one of the ITV commentators tried to claim this as a “British” Oscar win, and was forced to take it back with his tail between his legs a few minutes later.

And a massive “Fuck you” to everyone lying that Glazer was “refuting his Jewishness” by cutting off the second half of his sentence.

Just too bad the people in the booth refused to give us a good look at the IATSE people, instead insisting on showing a bunch of actors clapping at people we could only assume were somewhere in front of them.

I was really mystified at how the trailer alone showed this series would be taking such an uncaring view to even well-known historical accuracy. Someone’s already pointed out that like many men at the time, Edwin Stanton had a giant beard, and just as baffling is that after shooting Lincoln, Booth shouts “Justice for

Get her and Michelle Williams in old age makeup, secretly taking down Trump.

He’s also the only person to have at least one Oscar nomination in seven different decades (his very first was for 1967's Valley of the Dolls).

They wanted to do it in Season 3 but found there wasn’t space for it. So it’s covered in comics.

While fans of the new show might be disappointed at this early finale announcement”

It’s Count Fenring. He’s not in the movie, but his wife is so clearly that whole subplot had some level of importance in the adaptation process. I don’t know why we’re pretending there’s any mystery to this.

Glass features the scene of Elijah getting destroyed by a Tilt-a-Whirl that was filmed 19 years earlier for Unbreakable; that’s the best one that comes to mind.

One thing I’m very interested in if this show goes the distance is how they’ll deal with a certain major development with House Stark that only occurs after the main action of the Dance of Dragons has finished. You kind of can’t leave the most popular GoT family’s biggest role in the story out of it, but trying to

It wasn’t a surprise at all that Scream 3 had to be heavily rewritten. Most of all, it’s just bizarre how all the other movies in the series reveal there are two or even three Ghostfaces to get around the classic slasher issue of the killer seeming to teleport, but this one presents Roman working by himself and plays

It’s already hilarious watching the Snyderbros acting like he invented the concept of black people because of this.

I’m all for the change. The books can charitably be called “progressive for the time,” and this is a great way to acknowledge our greater awareness today of the “white savior” narrative (which, to be clear, Herbert was always deliberately criticizing, and just didn’t quite have the tool set to fully elaborate on)
