Nah, the plot sucks. Decent characters and very good acting, however.

The scene where he goes "sub-atomic" was for me the only time I felt a tinge of existential dread while watching a Marvel movie. Ant-Man has a lot of goodwill from me for actually making me scared for a superhero.

I loved the opening scene a lot. It's a scene that establishes a back story, transition from the other movies, AND has tremendous socio-political importance, but it's done in a few graceful, economical strokes. And the cut from "What was his name?" to the title card could have been cheesy but managed to make my throat…

It seemed to be purposely ludicrous? I saw the second Divergent movie around the same time that I saw Sils Maria, and it seemed like a pretty on-point parody of teen dystopian/sci-fi movies.

Nonetheless so satisfying to see Furiosa finally unleash all of her anguish and rage.

Not to mention Furiosa gets nearly fatally stabbed while she's holding onto Max, but refuses to let go of him or the wheel. She's doing so many things at once that I felt like I was going to have a heart attack out of sheer anxiety for her.

I scrolled through all these comments specifically just to see if anyone else was kinda turned on by that.

It's longform crime journalism, which is better than any fictional crime show, but in an actually digestible format.

They changed it! I was upset at first but am warming up to it. Good decision overall I'd say.

I'm not chiming in anything new, but yeah, you missed out. I figured from the start that they wouldn't know who killed Hae Min (especially since they were producing the episodes live and had no pre-worked solution), but most of the episodes were master lessons, just really fascinating meditations on legal procedure,…

Thank you for reminding me this. I have completely forgotten that detail from the books, and just spent ten minutes wheezing over my desk at work. I always loved the damn Dursleys.

I could read examples like these forever. Half the things I crave IRL are from non-cooking TV shows and movies, and even books. In the last month, I made frozen bananas after watching Arrested Development and lemon cakes after watching Game of Thrones. All it takes for me, really, is to see/read a character just…

Really? The sundae looked like it was from Morgenstern's.

Yeah, they both revive around the same time, indicating that it was really parental neglect and lack of wholesome things to connect to that made them ill, although the book also seems to imply that it would have been improbable for Mary to get well back India.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico is actually probably my favorite Depp showcase. It just encapsulates everything appealing about him in 20 minutes of screentime and it's Depp at his most charismatic. His monologue about the shredded pork is something aspiring actors should study.

It's stupendous. Had a hell of a time watching it—I think it's actually Oscar-nom-worthy, and I sorely wish that everyone would see Tangerine instead of The Danish Girl.

For me it's The Danish Girl and that Steve Jobs movie. Also, I wouldn't begrudge Dicaprio if he won an Oscar for The Revenant, but I would also get a hilarious kick out of him losing (again).

Amen

They are *all* being held back by their environments. No choice or fate is free of influence from environment. Billie made the choice to sleep with someone; she made the choice to have these children, sure. But unlike Doreen, she was a teenager when she had her first (and possibly second) child. Doreen is also…

Beyond the happy ending of the miniseries, I'd be reluctant to say that housing was "all" Doreen needed, either. It improved her life immensely, but it's also probably too simplistic an assessment. Poverty, inequality, racism, etc—all the structural burdens they face are so multi-faceted. I think it'd be a mistake to…
