Honest question: what’s so bad about Gladiator? It’s well acted, looks good, has a villain that you grow to hate, and an emotional ending. My biggest issue with it are the icky low framerate bits that get used a few times.

He picked it up when he was gathering his things post soup

Lewis isn’t throwing anyone under the bus, in fact he’s one of the most pathologically “we” drivers out there, to the point it’s sometimes a bit tedious because it feels scripted. He’s said this because Toto has already said it, which effectively gives him permission to say it too. And he’s not wrong.

Chicago is great cinema, and an amazing adaptation of a musical imo 

I disagree about The King’s Speech and don’t understand why it gets the hate it gets.  It’s a perfectly professional excellently written rip off of The Madness of King George and other better movies, and the Oscars love blowing themselves.  It’s really a pretty good movie if you don’t mind that you’ve seen it several…

Seconded. Although there’s something to be said for Titanic pulling off what it did — massive commercial appeal for displaying an event 85 years in the past, after a troubled shoot that had some people doubting the film could succeed — its main story was eye-rollingly bad. It’s only saved only by Leo’s and Kate’s…

Titanic.

There are 4 versions of Mario, so…why not a 5th?

Thatherton!

It’s ok. You can dislike max too.

Second, fifth, or dead last, all are still losers.

This is obviously written from the perspective that Hamilton can’t have any idea what he’s talking about, but if he does indeed know, and the car isn’t significantly different this season, he’d be right in predicting trouble after one race. And it reads more like a call to arms, hey, let’s fix this, than a throwing…

This is exactly something a spider would say.

I genuinely cannot believe they went with the zero-pod again this year, when it was obvious in Bahrain last year that they were headed down the wrong path.

And that it pops up on HBO Max precisely at 9 pm (eastern). We don’t have the cable channel, just the app and I thought we’d have to wait a day. Nope. Good times.

Cannibalism is trendy?

Ahhh nah man did you hear about that SLAP last year?!? You’ve gotta watch the Oscars to see if another moment like that will happen (they’re paying me to say this).

Definitely higher than a C+ for me. It was definitely a re-grounding premiere, which I appreciated. It’s been so long. But man, I immediately got back into Perry Mason’s grumpy, put-upon vibe, and the reveal of what happened to the defendant of his first case was a gut-punch.

I’d rate this higher than a C+, I think. The writers’ intent wasn’t to wow with something new, but just go back to these very likable characters doing their thing. The episode was a setup for the main mystery and it did its job. Given how well researched The Knick seemed to be, I wonder if the supermarket layout stuff…
