I was wondering how the issues prevelant in comics would work in movies, and it’s starting to look like a pretty simple answer: they don’t. As an avid comic reader for a very long time, it’s pretty easy to shrug off how some world ending thing is only being dealt with by Iron Man when there are literally thousands of…

This is a great description and pretty much how I took it. I laughed very hard at several parts I’m reasonably sure were meant to be funny (the internal monologue getting cut off by real world violence combined with the look on Fassbender’s face of surprise that anyone would dare interrupt struck me as gleefully funny…

Different strokes and all, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film, though I was in a very sleep-deprived and wound up state while watching it--which very much matched the main character’s tone during this film. I don’t know that it was supposed to be all that exciting, and Fassbender’s monologue/voiceover made it far more…

I read a description of the entire movie being a metaphor for Jodie Foster’s characters brain in “Panic Room”, with the trio of villians being the id, ego and super-ego, and it playing out the way it did as a ‘revenge narrative’ for how badly her ex-husband treated her and how helpless it made her feel, and I’ll be…

It was a bizarre choice for sure.  Overall it was...fine, I guess, but the reviewer pretty well nails the issues with the pacing.  I mean, I’m not sure more of this would have made it better, but maybe less plot would have?  The exposition dumps were exhausting, and seemingly endless.  Kamala is fantastic, though, and…

Nice list—there’s a few I need to check out for sure.

House was one of the few (semi?) successful blends of comedy and horror out there.  Even the first sequel was decent.  Watched it a lot back in the 80s and 90s but haven’t seen it in a long while. Going to have to look that one up again.

It’s a stark and striking contrast from color, that’s for sure!

“Let’s not talk nonsense to Bob Loblaw”

This moment though...

The friggin’ Asian investors being treated to the “Godzilla vs giant robot” and stomping on the miniature houses they built to try and pass as full-sized was maybe the highlight of the entire show. Holy hell it was a complicated set up to get to that point, but it was the most brilliant pay off of anything on the show.

Same--I honestly wasn’t sure there even was a season 5, or if I was just remember season 4 released in two parts (which is frustratingly becoming more and more common).

Henry Winkler literally jumping a shark will never not be funny.

well “Hello, holy crap” to you, too.

“Who would have guessed you could miss a hand so much?” while staring at the hand chair a solid two episodes before the loose seal incident blew  my mind on rewatch.  It’s a show that’s somehow as funny on a rewatch just catching all the things you missed the first time through.

Afternoon Delight is probably my personal favorite. Dividing the curse word (f-bomb) Gob says is so brilliant it still blows my mind a little they got away with it. Didn’t that one also have the “We have to get the Seaward out of here” followed by the mother’s line “I’ll leave when I’m ready!”  It’s probably the best…

Ugh the cat thing HAS to be the most over-used jump scare technique in horror. Cats are shitheads for sure and it’s totally in their wheelhouse to do that shit on purpose, but does it need to happen in every horror movie?  

Talk about underrated gems-The Descent was a really great theater experience, and one I’d recommend to anyone to see in a theater should they get the opportunity....or at the very least on a big TV with all the lights in the room out to really get the feel of what Jordan was going for.  The tight, isolated shots lit…

It would honestly be one of my favorite horror movies of all time (instead of just an ‘underrated gem’) if it weren’t for that screwy ending.  There were a couple of really disturbing scenes in general, but yeah I still recall almost jumping out of my skin at the theater.

The scene at the end of “Silence of the Lambs” played out the same way in the book, with the reader having no idea the agents were at the wrong houses. That was one of the most-tense sequences I can ever remember reading in any novel.
