How is that sexist? Because that seems to be what you're implying.
I just recently started watching The Walking Dead and while, so far (early series 2), "Days Gone Bye" is its best episode, this article and these comments seem to idealise it to a ridiculous degree. The actors and the dialogues aren't better than in the following episodes and it only looks great for the standards of a…
I'm somewhat annoyed by La La Land getting 14 nominations. 2 Best Song nods (Strangely, neither for "Another Day of Sun", "Someone in the Crowd", or "A Lovely Night")? Both Sound Editing and Sound Mixing? Two Acting nominations, just because you apparently can't win Best Picture without at least a nomination for…
Yes! I've read about 20 reviews of La La Land (weird, I know) and every single reviewer, no matter how highly they praised the rest of the film, just had to make a disparaging comment about Stone and Gosling's voices. And yet, I loved both - to my layman's ears, Stone is an excellent singer, and while Gosling clearly…
Since English isn't my first language, I'm always hesitant to claim that dialogue or, in this case, lyrics are hard to understand, so I'm glad to hear that I wasn't the only one to not understand half of what was said in that opening song. It did get a lot better as the film progressed, however.
This has rapidly become one of my favourite TV programmes. The huge budget pays off in every moment - the Aberdare scenes were the obvious highlight, but everything else looked stunning as well. And I already feel comfortable saying that Claire Foy, Jared Harris, and John Lithgow should all win an Emmy next year.
Turns out you're right about the two credits scenes, I didn't watch the more recent Marvel films, and they used to restrict themselves to one in the beginning.
I would just like to mention that this film has not one, but two post-credits scenes. I only found out about this by reading it in another review though, since I and everyone else in my auditorium left the cinema after the mid-credits one.
I saw The Exorcist for the very first time just two days ago since I've always been too afraid to watch it because of the scary things I'd heard about it and the images of the possessed Regan MacNeil, which gave me nightmares as a kid.
It's solely dialect. Towards is British, toward is American.
I burst out laughing when Gerald introduced him to Sheila.
Paulson's English accent was pretty bad though. She forgot about not pronouncing the r's before consonants half of the time and the writers didn't do her any favours by giving her lines like "She's totally mental. Absolutely crackers", which makes it seem as if all they know about British accents comes from watching…
I'm normally as negative on AHS as this reviewer, but I thought this was a great episode. In fact, it was my favourite of all of the series I've seen (which excludes Asylum, Coven, and Freak Show). It's not high art, but entertaining, surprising, and (unexpectedly often) visually pleasing + the plot made a lot more…
I really don't see how he could sound more Australian if he tried. Until I read this article, I was sure that Sasse was a Brit doing an Australian accent for the programme.
I wonder how I knew that the one Atlanta episode that is unfunny, boring, and needlessly gross but has a female protagonist would get an A on here.
Watched this in the morning with the sun shining through the curtainless window right opposite my TV screen. That turned out to be a bad idea, and only secondarily because of its absurdly dark lighting.
Also: Moderat's III, Daughter's Not to Disappear, DIIV's Is The Is Are, and Anna Meredith's Varmints, four of my favourite albums this year.
You know what would be fun? Seeing liberal political satirists mock the DNC with only an inkling of the vigour that they reserve for the RNC. It's not as if multipartisan ridicule weren't possible for comedians in any other democracy I know.
The first iteration was indeed a bit boring, but I don't see that as a flaw of the episode, since I really enjoy the idea behind it. I've never seen anything like it before, and it worked both as a recap to Graham McTavish's arc (which I kind of needed, I'm ashamed to say) and, once it sped up, as an amusing montage…
