Say what one will for Deep Blue Sea overall (personally, I think it’s enjoyably stupid, esp. with that ending theme) this is a legit good death scene.

The Exorcist is a series where every other film is crap (for the most part)

-The Exorcist - Great Goddamn movie
-The Exorcist II: The Heretic - I’m still not entirely convinced this wasn’t a case of ‘we wrote an original movie and someone had the idea to retool it into a sequel’
-The Exorcist III: Legion - clumsy ending

Part of me wants to say the accident scene in Hereditary, but that feels less ‘scare’ and more ‘all-encompassing dread’

Weirdly enough, my back-up choice:
A few years back went to a midnight showing of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
Not a first time seeing the film, overall knew what to expect.

...even with that in mind,

‘like the author of the source material goes back on his promises’

To be somewhat fair to him, the impression Martin’s given in interviews is he also expected the show to be running longer than this before it got to this point. He wasn’t counting on them chopping large parts out of books 4 and 5 because they just

Not to mention that it is a show that’s coming from two people whose previous hit had some...rather striking missteps when it came to how it handled its non-white characters (the Unsullied and Dothraki running rampant through the Red Keep was a special sort of optics nightmare, for just one recent example.)

The ending of Rosemary’s Baby, like the ending of The Omen, is one that we, as a culture, kind of ruined by overplaying the reveal as a punchline.

Take Rosemary’s Baby on its own terms, completely in a vacuum, and the shock of that ending lands - the movie builds between ‘is this paranoia’ and the idea that, if there

Goyer is a weird wild card as comics go.
On one hand, he worked with Christopher Nolan to deliver 2-3 solid Batman movies (depending where one falls on TDKR)
On the other, you have things like that She Hulk comment and the fact he went on to pal around with Zack Snyder.

He seems to be the type that needs someone who can

Don’t forget how close Alabama came to electing a noted creeper.

It’s more like The Phantom Menace on steroids - a filmmaker being head-over-heels in love with what they’re now technologically capable of doing and no one under them having the heart or spine to point out that the underpinning story and characters are the equivalent of watching paint dry.

That’s the thing though - you break the raw numbers down and ultimately Trump’s charisma didn’t swing the majority of voters.
His victory, instead, was born out of exploiting the inherent weakness in the electoral college that requires certain states to be given preferential campaign treatment to properly ensure

I’d say they were more catchphrases than real plans.
Not to say she’s right here, however.
Trump may not have thought much of plans, but there were certainly more than enough people under him propping him up with intent to have him act out their agendas.

Unfortunately, Trump is THAT much more aggressive of the two, so he’ll likely talk over her for most of it.
At least until she snaps and slowly starts to crush his skull while chanting out in a low, guttural voice “THIS IS THE WATER, AND THIS IS THE WELL. DRINK FULL AND DESCEND. THE HORSE IS THE WHITES OF THE EYES AND

I’m kind of at that point with her.
Like, I enjoy dunking on her, but she’s basically all but said she’s anti-vaxx here, and the idea of actually backing that just...no.

and depending what reports you subscribe to, a few more overseas hotels to bear his namesake.

On the one hand, fair for the most part.
On the other, how fucking dare you besmirch Creepshow by implying it’s on the suck pile!

The podcast QAnon Anonymous is arguably the best sort of ‘field guide’ for how the absolute crap all of this works. Start at the beginning as they track how this started from the disparate threads of right wing conspiracies like Pizzagate and Seth Rich and then started going all the way up to heavy hitters like the

To be fair, and I say this as someone who enjoys the overall brand, the MCU hasn’t exactly been great at properly coping with its big world-changing events.

As was pointed out in other comments - phase 1 ended with a straight up alien invasion. No longer was this something like the Destroyer in Thor that could be

I look at Eccleston in The Dark World the same way I look at Carrie Coon in Infinity War - if you’re gonna bury them in make-up or CGI and write them to have little to no actual role, what the Hell is the point in getting some actually talented star power to be under all that?

As far as Mads goes, I still find it

Which makes it even more unfortunate that Spider-Man’s part of Civil War feels really superfluous in the final standing of the movie.
Save for the airport fight, one could excise him from the movie and lose nothing in the process.

Especially frustrating since, given the themes of the movie, he could have given some

I feel like Tim Allen’s rep as a cocaine rat might put him in bad standing for someone like McConnell. Bad for business and all that.
