Here for your viewing pleasure: Chris D’Elia as he realizes the walls are closing in

This only makes sense if a book’s sole value to you is its decorating potential based on the colour of its spine :(

Arranging books by colour is book arranging for people who do not read!

I know what you’re trying to say, but I’m speaking very much to my own experience. I was sick for a long time without knowing it and then, after medication, I felt significantly better.

The only way they can salvage the horrible idea of making yet another indiana jones film after the humiliatingly bad Crystal Skull is by making Waller-Bridge herself “the” next Indiana Jones. I’d enjoy her as a central character adventurous globe-trotting pseudo-archeologist.

I think it was less about playing the video games and more about how he was being a complete and total piece of shit to the children he was playing online with.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m literally the only person in the world who was uncool in high school and was not gagging to get in with the popular crowd. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a piece of media about an unpopular kid in high school who didn’t have a defining fixation on being popular. It’d be nice to get a second…

Branagh’s really gotta vet his male leads better.  

The entire soundtrack has this wonderful quality of like... comforting melancholy if that makes sense. “Tomorrow is Another Day” is musically kind of downbeat, but just incredibly lovely.

Yeah, that was my read, too. As soon as Wanda started feeling like a villain, there was Agatha, previously there to fulfill Wanda’s every wish, to fulfill her probable wish for someone else to be the villain. The only thing that makes me question that is the voice asking Wanda in the previous scene “do you think this…

Agatha comes across as callous and cruel but not necessarily wrong. Even to a point her flashback, tho framing her as reckless, doesn’t go out of its way to show how evil she is; she seems shocked by the results, as if her self preservation was an instinct, that she takes on stride.

Yes. The reviewer seems very sure about Agatha being totally evil, in a way that I don’t think is justified. Lots of assumptions that I don’t think are warranted.

I keep going back to that moment in the previous episode when Agatha, watching from her window, doesn’t intervene in Wanda’s showdown with Monica until the latter says “Don’t let [Hayward] make you the villain, and Wanda replies, “Maybe I already am”. In the basement and in her theme song, Agatha hams it up, almost…

S.W.O.R.D. Director Tyler Haywood (Josh Stamberg) is a more banal villain than Agatha, likely because he doesn’t have a viral theme song. However, he’s no less sadistic.

It’s probably a combination of him being nice to the people he likes, and enough of his projects being huge successes that some people are willing to put up with his bullshit for the massive boost he could give their careers.

Keep in mind that a lot of the WSB crowd is using margin (money they borrow from the brokerage) to buy shares and options, with some of their options being well out of the money while touting they have nothing to lose because they’re broke anyways. And if they default and can’t pay the brokerages back, the brokerages…

I love how Herzog’s interviews are amazingly never gibberish. They have the cadence and vocabulary of bullshit, but always retain the weight of someone genuinely contemplating a question or topic and trying to address it. 

I don’t think any of the retro-TV jokes are going to connect with him or others not from the USA.

But its status is based on its ideas, not its prose. No one puts Shelly alongside Shakespeare, at least to my knowledge. For a teenage girl's summer distraction in 1818 its an insanely original and interesting story. Also for its huge influence on modern media, it obviously deserves to be up there.
