Yeah, I don’t remember the last time I had Subway. Even if it was a block from where I was, I would go out of my way to get something like Jersey Mike’s or Firehouse.

Motion smoothing is Satan’s tool.

I just really hope they kill off Chris Pine at the end of each installment in this franchise, only to return in the next sequel.

Knives Out was my favorite movie of last year.

I think the fundemental problem with rich people is that once you have a certain amount of money and power, people stop telling you that you’re wrong. We need a modern equivalent of the guy who whispers in Cesear’s ear “Remember you are mortal”. I propose that everyone with a net worth over, say, 40 million gets

It’s on purpose. The first bit is all exciting derring do, heroic people being heroic, and the rest is about how that don’t mean shit. It’s deflating.
There are a bunch of themes going on, in particular how different leadership styles fail, how important faith is for good and bad, how good intentions don’t have to lead

My money was originally on reincarnation, but yeah.

I mean, Anakin was very clear about the negatives of sand. Coarse, rough, etc. 

It’s so stoopid that everyone wants to take on Netflix, but they don’t get the fundamental point of what Netflix does, which is provide new and original content every week. We might not watch every new show or film they put out but the option to do so is there. 
You can watch a season Mrs Maisel or Goliath over a

The world never stops taking from me.

Hannibal wins on this front. Bonus: Unlike June, Hannibal didn’t make those dreadful faces at the camera.

I keep wanting to like this show. The book is great—I’ve read it three times. Season 1, based on the book, was also great. But every episode after that has taken this show further into nonsense and indicates that nobody has given any thought into how this world actually WORKS. It’s infuriating, and it’s infuriating

But why was Fred lauded by Meloni? Just for his showmanship? (And by the way, we still have no clear idea of how high Meloni ranks; in the past, we saw meetings of commanders in Boston where they were seemingly taking very crucial decisions for the whole of Gilead, but now it turns out they were just a bunch of

I find the lip-sewing thing a bit far-fetched and I wonder if not a bit counter-productive. Mouths aren’t open simply for communication purposes. The handmaids couldn’t eat with their mouths shut like that or yawn or cough if they have a cold or even maintain any sort of oral hygiene which would eventually deter

The Swiss already knew that neither Waterford has a genetic connection to Holly/Nichole. They wanted, as was stated in “The Prisoner” - “Information.” But, given Nick’s past, they didn’t trust him as a source. So, yes, I agree they were looking for spies they could use. But they also already knew who Nick was, so now

When the camera turns after the June/Serena shouting match, and we see hundreds of Handmaids, guards and Fred, I laughed. This is the “jump the shark” moment of this show. This moment is something comedies do as a joke punchline, not something that has to be on a show pretending to be super-dramatic and serious.

I, too, want to see much more of Emily’s and Moira’s stories. It’s a damn shame to have actors like Samira Wiley and Alexis Bledel and use them so sparingly. They did that one segment last season of Moira going clubbing and using empty sex to try to drive back her feelings, but since then I don’t think we’ve seen much

YES! Emily’s plot this season is so, so good, and Alexis Bledel is doing incredible, unbelievably moving work with the material. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Moss is being forced to play every moment to the cheap seats (cue ironic rock song!).

June and Serena bonding over “their” child is so deeply fucked up and yet somehow also very sweet. I have such wonderfully mixed feelings about that entire relationship, I’m so excited to see where it goes from here.
