Ah...see, that’s the crux of why you & I see the movie so differently. I totally and completely could see people falling in line so quickly with Mrs. Carmody (which is why the last 4 years of blind adherence didn’t surprise me*) as I was raised in a branch of Christianty that’s viewed as either harmlessly odd or as har…

I’m curious...what exactly do you find mediocre about “The Mist”? I ask out of genuine curiosity...not via snark or animosity. :)

That’s interesting about your feelings about “The Mist”. My husband feels the same way you do - especially with how things turn in the store and that gut-punch ending.

Carey Mulligan is FANTASTIC in this movie. I’d been dying to see it since the trailer launched - and I’m so glad I did. I’ve not been able to get this movie out of my head. It deserves ALL the accolades.

Interesting. I actually enjoyed the movie.

My favorite look of hers was what she did for “Nocturnal Animals”. It could have been a blink-and-you-miss-it role, but of course Riseborough made it so much more.

The word ‘chameleonic’ tends to be overused regarding actors - but Andrea Riseborough truly is. It’s astonishing to me how different she looks in every movie.

She was masquerading using an accent that is not hers. An accent that’s used as a gatekeeping tactic for BIPOC from similar linguistic backgrounds.

I’d beg to differ. The primary reason why people are outraged us because she’s used both an “accent” and a lesser grasp of English to further her brand.

That crossed my mind, too. That they have “an understanding” - and the wife is more (rightfully) ticked that he violated the rules of it (ie, keep it on the low and/or don’t embarrass her publicly, etc.).

I am still pissed that Sweet/Vicious was cancelled. At the risk of sounding crass, the show had the unfortunate luck of being axed right before MeToo became a cultural touchstone. If it had been out a few months later, I wonder if it would’ve lasted longer.

Yeah, knowing the GF (in the past) both outed Plaza’s character and falsely accused her of harassment, yet skips off to a happy ending felt troublesome.  I would've much preferred Stewart's character to have ended up with Plaza's. 

“...punk rock lesbian in Chanel aesthetic.”

Even though the Charlie’s Angels reboot was just ‘eh’ (and dont get me *started* on them trying to recreate an anthem on the level of Independent Women) - Stewart was miles above the best thing in it.

I *love* Confessions of a Shopaholic. It’s hard to make that sort of character likable, but Fisher totally nails it. And her chemistry with Hugh Dancy was terrific.

Not that I’m a Nicki Minaj apologist (I find her to be frustratingly anti-woman despite her claims to be a feminist) but her Twitter is labeled “Mrs. Petty” because that’s her *actual* married last name. Her husband’s name is Kenneth Petty.

Chris Evans has always been much more intellectual than people give him credit for. It just didn’t help that he looks like *that* - and I also think people assumed his performance as Johnny Storm (in the Fantastic Four movies) was his actual personality rather than performance.

Thanks for the clarification. That was legit helpful. :-)

Someone else also mentioned the rules of a cross-examination. Although I maintain the judge still should’ve called out his hostility.

Gotcha - thanks for the headsup (re: rules of cross examination). Although shouldn’t the judge have called out Fernando for his hostility?  That was crazy how he was allowed to say all those things to her.
