Yeah, this wasn’t me critiquing Reeves or the films..

Yeah this guy only did well with Cloverfield, all those Planet of the Apes movies really did shit at the box office. Can’t see why a studio would trust him at all. You got ‘em!!

Just watched it for the first time last night and you’re 1,000% correct. I’m guessing the running time played better in the theater, and I do wish I’d seen the nicely set up shots there.

I especially loved the tax code chatter

Mitte I would have liked as one of the truly innocent avatars in the series. Maybe Jr accompanies his Aunt to the jail, but doesn’t go in to the meetup.

The young William as played by Jimmi Simpson, it isn’t a giant leap to imagine his friend bringing him to Westworld because of his love for gaming. Then his psyche starts to crack as it struggles to deal with the emotions of ‘real’ destruction and gore vs a pixelated one.

Nothing lasts forever I think. At some point if Dolores or the inhabitants of the Sublime don’t evolve the outside support for the world will fall apart. Perhaps part of it will slowly fail only to be discovered by some future civilization or visitor, and refreshed in some fashion. Reminds me of the scifi anthropology…

It’s happening exactly right now, Better Call Saul.

My expectations were so rock bottom that after missing it in the theaters I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was. I rank it pretty highly out of the overall catalogue just for how satisfying that variance was.

Great to see her get a plum role, appreciated her work in Six Feet Under. Fits in nicely with the 90's era stars too. Only bummer is that it wasn’t on the other stranded show, The Wilds; kills my dorky theory that Gretchen (Rachel Griffiths) was an alias for Brenda Chenowith.

RIP the latest tab 

Kim, Chuck, Howard, his Sandpiper constituents, Marco. A long trail. 

Right? Went back and forth over purchasing “Into the Breach” over the past couple weeks, but apparently I’ve had access to it for (sorta) free?

Well, I take solace in knowing the exact hollowed-chest fate of this character by also knowing that I will 100% forget who she is by the time I watch the movie.

This reads just like the Napster arguments on my college listserv.

I’m sure it rankled C. Tolkien on some level that for many people Walsh and Jackson’s version of his father’s works are foremost in their minds, not the written pages. This doesn't seem terribly surprising.

The U.P. is a beautiful drive in all seasons, albeit a fairly dangerous drive during one of them.

the article title taught me that ‘correctly’ is the same as ‘differently’!

‘So Cousin Sal, doesn’t it look like The Wilds was market-corrected by Yellowjackets? Wednesday beats Brenda! Northern wilderness is having a moment, islands are over!!’

Or, maybe it was really popular and a good reminder that America isn’t the only viewing source?
