I see what you’re saying. They aren’t necessarily easy movies with likable characters. I’ve always found that refreshing — much better than the two-dimensional “best friend” types mentioned in the article — but I see how angry rebels and/or depressed outcasts might not be your cup of tea.

Yeah, I’m having a hard time hearing Eurythmics or Culture Club in this single. Maybe Pat Benetar, but I’m not sure where the other supposed references are coming in. 

Oh yeah — I forgot about that movie! It’s so good.

First, I totally forgot how star-studded this film was. Holy cow, that cast. And how sweet the movie was in general. I’m going to have to watch it again.

Oh, I totally get that now. Thanks for clarifying!

Yeah, that toast scene is a real downer. She sets him up to fail, which sucks. And unfortunately, it’s one of the few times she shows anything like a personality, so it leaves a bad taste about her as a character.

I completely agree. You probably won’t have the same reaction to a film over time because you’ll be different and surrounding circumstances will be different. That makes perfect sense to me.

Oh, I completely agree. Andie McDowell is not a good actress. But the larger point is: who cares? because her character barely exists.

You’re both right. I just rewatched Groundhog Day, too, and it’s a classic that defined the repeated-day trope. Great performance by Murray. But the way they sideline Andie McDowell is crazy. She basically just says, “I don’t like you” or “I like you” in different forms the entire time. The movie literally could have…

Rick & Morty, at its core, is about family tensions that can never truly be resolved. You don’t get to choose who you’re related to, and your complicated feelings about your relatives aren’t going to dramatically change even over time.

I would, too. If he did it shirtless.

Is *that* what happened? It’s his face and everything, but I think he should put it back the way it was.

I love this ending for our characters, but I agree it’s a mess. Starting over just means that there will be a host of new (and probably some repeated) problems to face. For example, there’s no reason to believe that Division 3 won’t still exist. Humans still fear and hate mutants, right? Not to mention all of the…

I’m not saying season 2 was perfect; all of the seasons have had flaws as far as I’m concerned. And I agree that season 2 was probably too long.

I have to agree that the second season accomplished what it needed to in order to bring us season 3.

Re: Switch: She grew up without human contact, so she turned to David during his hedonistic phase — the exact opposite of her father. Turns out that David just regards her as a possession, exactly like her father after all. It’s subtle — and unpleasant — but it’s a small character arc for her. Asking for her…

I like realism as much as the next guy (e.g. I own 45 Years on Blu-ray), but this isn’t that kind of movie. If you don't like it, no problem. But don't blame the acting. Just so many amazing choices in every scene. 

LOVE this movie. A couple of thoughts on why it’s so good:

Jason Mantzoukas is just the best. Always love seeing him.

This episode was amazing. I love a good “and then they all die” story.
