I mean the "right now" part. "Are you serious?" or "Are you serious with this?", sure. But not "right now", no way.
Less active boards still have posts that are years old. Look at this thread, for instance:
Absolutely. I'm actually surprised so many people seem not to know this. Examples:
I post there regularly.
Exactly this. The long tail just got chopped off. This is the saddest non-political news I've heard in I don't know how long.
And you can't go to Twitter or Facebook for detailed discussions of a fifty year old French film like Jacques Tati's "Playtime". There are only a few people who have seen it and are interested in discussing it, and they aren't going to all see it at the same time and converge on one of those social media platforms,…
I've used the IMDb boards near-daily for years, and I've never even seen these sex fantasy posts. But I've only ever gone to boards for individual specific films, not for actors or w/e.
I love those slow motion conversations too. And if you get email notifications, you don't even have to go check it periodically.
It's still like that, in the boards for older, foreign, or more obscure indie type films. And that's what they are most needed for. If you want to rant about the latest Avengers movie, you can do that almost anywhere. But if you just discovered Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" or Kelly Reichardt's "Wendy and Lucy" on…
Why thank you! This compliment made my day. :)
Kicked a dog…INTO THE SUN.
I was actually shocked that he gave up.
Great review. I have heard that complaint of this season being "dull" or "boring", even from some critics (Andy Greenwald, I'm looking at you) and I just can't fathom it. There are shows I love, that I can at least understand people being bored by ("Rectify", for instance, or "Top of the Lake"). But with this show,…
I appreciate that.
You're ignoring my point that it might be that she has a "get out of torture" card if she helps the guy in the store.
The first half of this episode was not very good, and I was on the edge of bailing on the show. Olivia's reapparance was so melodramatic and over the top. But then the way Jack went to his dad and pretended to be a ne'erdowell with gambling debts was some clever, subtle writing, well acted by Milo V. Then there was…
My inflation calculator says it's more like $57K today. And the U.S. Census says in 1979 72 percent of households had incomes below $25K. So "lower middle class" is an exaggeration. Solid middle class, more like.
I finally broke down and bought the season after seeing this ranked so high on all the critics' year-end lists (FX makes it hard to be a cordcutter sometimes with all their good shows and no streaming service). One episode in, it's definitely good and I'm looking forward to more.
People have often complained on this show about the lack of bodies (remedied to some degree by the scene in Florida). I always found that reasonably easy to ignore, and the same with the gasoline that should have gone bad by now. What I'm also presumably supposed to just not think about is what Gail and now Melissa…
