Funnily, I doubt his fans will feel the same way. This is simultaneously artier and more understated than his most popular movies (Inception, TDK, etc.) and far fewer cool gimmicks and conceits, so I understand why the critics who are fed up with Nolan's oversized, overstuffed style are going bananas for it. On the…

I also thought it was impossible for any big-budget director doing a WWII epic without consciously or subconsciously imitating SPR, but I was gushing on my way out about how Dunkirk turned out to be a sort of anti-SPR. On a superficial level, there's no blood or gore, no band of brothers banter. (The lead in fact…

A little odd given that the outrage mostly came from feminists, not because they thought the rape scenes were "vulgar" or taboo, but because the scenes were irresponsibly and insensitively handled. Oh well. The activism sounds nice.

Anyone familiar with Broadway knows that a year is a perfectly standard length of time for an actor to be in a show, let alone an actor who is the lead AND the showrunner. He did the exact same thing with "In the Heights."

He'll already have enough money from Hamilton to last the rest of his life. It's pretty common for actors to leave shows after a year; many don't even last that long. It's an exhausting schedule.

"Watch Carol."

You're right, it's not just the pop culture. It's experience, knowledge, power dynamics, everything else. When you're young, older people naturally seem wiser, more impressive, and trustworthy. It's easy to become deferential in that kind of relationship if you're a lot younger and don't know better.

I have faith in regularly intelligent Wyllis! He seemed like a sweet, caring dude even from what (little) we saw of him, being deferential but also giving the Stark boys advice about their swordsmanship. I also assume like the rest of the Winterfell servants, he's Northerner and a Stark loyalist to the bone. I'm of…

But if he hadn't done so, Hodor might have remained Wyllis and thus an able-minded, intellectually capable man who could have saved them without having to be manipulated like a video game. Wouldn't he have been more useful as just himself? UGH time traveling always creates the worst questions.

Like I told another commenter, warging into young Hodor isn't needed when current Hodor is right there. What happens is a tragedy, but a completely unnecessary one.

Bran can warg into Hodor in the present and has done so plenty of times; he doesn't need to go into the past for that.

1. Can anyone explain why Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven decided to just go off and have another vision when they knew the White Walkers were coming?

She's NOT the average black woman, and that is why, perhaps, her fans find it exhilarating and emotional when she chooses to use her global platform and unprecedented reach to express solidarity and introspection instead of, I don't know, singing about her fucking Illuminati champagne parties.

What about the ad pitch for the Hawaiian hotel? One of Stan's finest moments.

I'm torn about recommending the movie because I think he's hilarious, commanding, and charismatic in it, a sort of proto-Joffrey Baratheon, but the rest of the movie is a complete drag.

A year ago I would not have HESITATED to make this joke. At this point people have moved on from Serial so fast that I wondered if anyone would remember it

I kind of agree with this, but I blame the people behind the camera. I think that more than anything else, they wanted the protagonists to be fun people we wanted to hang around and not drips.

I would rather see Will Ferrell be Young Han Solo than any of the finalists they've chosen so far, tbh

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it a HUGE struggle to get through Breaking Bad. I watched faithfully to the end because I felt like I would be missing out on this iconic show, and I acknowledge that it's a great series. But I fucking hated so many things. I genuinely loathed Walt. I hated that Skyler was an…

It's a bit understandable. She was the one who was sort of the catalyst for both Jesse's addiction and break away from Walt; I can also see how he was struggling to figure out whether calling help would be useless anyway, or if she was actually dying. It all happened relatively quickly.
