In this mocumentary you will learn that 1+1=7 and that there is not a conspiracy theory that MAGA people won't fall for!
Jeez, the snowflaky reactions of straight white men because not every single episode and narrative centres them - anything deviating from that priority is apparently "woke". Get over yourselves, you egomaniacal bigots.
Anyway, another great episode that nicely expanded Ellie's backstory - bonus points for the Mortal Kombat II appreciation, too :nerd:
Please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck...
I think the title could have been shortened to "Queen"? Copyright perhaps.
When you watch a movie and wish that it went for another 2 hours - fantastic.
I've really gotta stop reading these comments....
I think the message of the movie is rendered more important and urgent by the fact that so many adults simply don’t get it.
The story is beautifully told, but in a society obsessed with being successful the metaphor about the gifts flies over most heads.
Much better than last week's, thankfully (maybe due to the lack of Adira and Gray...). This one still suffered from some ropy dialogue in places but it kept getting better as the episode went one. The highlights for me were Wilson Cruz's scenes as we saw Dr Culber dealing with survivor's guilt; I just wish they'd paired him up with a less irritating actor than Anthony Rapp, who always looks constipated.
This movie was just getting mediocre reviews (it had only been out for a day) when I decided to see it. I think I know why and I’m going to disagree with them. This film is about Norse legend and mythology, no less and no more. It is a bleak tale about a bleak period where honour was defined by vengeance and brutality was its bi-product. Our culture is not use to straight up Homer-esk tales of heroes and gods. Our culture likes its mythical heroes to be served with humour and wisecracks. This treatment is in dark contrast to that. It is, however, beautifully crafted. The locations are stunning in their natural beauty. The cinematography is intentional and captivating. The action sequences and the CGI are painstakingly real and truly brutal. The performances are faithful to the culture they inhabit. As is my custom, I did a quick exit poll of others leaving the theatre with me. The three people I spoke to each gave it a 9 out of 10. Nothing mediocre about those ratings. I agree and give this film a 9 (beautifully crafted) out of 10. [Heroic Mythology]
Being a Colombian I can tell you that it was set in a perfect way.
The colors, the cultural diversity, the music that represents us, the typical foods, the personalities, everything. You could even say that the background on the violence is very well done. In Colombia we have a big problem that is forced internal displacement, so much so that we are the number one country in this. The fact that they gave a few little moments about this conflict ... brought me to tears, but I really appreciate it.
It is the perfect tribute to my beautiful land. I loved it.
In addition, I feel that it is very easy to connect with the characters and give each one a little development, considering that there are so many.
I have a little criticism for the movie though. I feel like a little more explanation was needed as to why Mirabel could not receive the miracle when she was a child and the specific reason why Casita was cracking. Maybe they could make it a bit longer to explain this, but overall I liked it.
Pd: Lin Manuel Miranda never disappoints, I'm his fan 4eveeeeer
Not a single positive comment about this episode. If you all don't enjoy it or think it's good, why do you bother watching?
Season 2 is a complete garbage
One of the best 80s, cheesy, over the top, action movies. The monster design is great. Arnold gives some of he best cheesy one liners deliveries of his career. And the rest of the cast is great too. That sheer amount of body mass is astonishing.
i really like the pace for me i do not find it slow or boring, there is probaby to much story to tell and what are the showing is enough for now. I like how they trying to connect everything.
Also the opening credits are fantastic.
Strong start, and I say that acknowledging that Asimovian truism is obvs not their goal. I legit love where they’re taking the whole “prophecy” narrative, since that aspect of the OG story would be hard to convey as a TV show..
Making it a battle of rebellious, savant-tier genius vs a technologically elite Empire of forgotten dreams—whose ruler is a clone controlled by an actual robot—really makes it feel relevant to our experience: moneyed royalty building an algorithmically-powered, AI driven—chatGPT, Google Bard, etc)—but potentially distopian future… Pretty excellent.
Man, I've never been so anxious for an entire episode. I was so scared knowing that something was gonna happen to them and trying to brace myself for an incoming jump scare. I could hardly enjoy the happy, peaceful moment they were having.
Also, the mall had a lot of stores I recognized so I searched up where it was filmed and found out some trivia for anyone else who didn't know: this series was filmed in Calgary in Canada. Cool!
Why do leaders that can't even provide for and manage their own kingdoms think that they can 'civilize and suppress' other worlds as well? Perhaps fix your own broken society before searching for more to conquer.
4 episodes wasn't enough haha. I loved it especially the extra scene. Can't wait for the next Witcher season
Wow!... Not really into westerns per-say, however, this show is Amazing and will bring Sorrow & Joy to your heart & Eyes.
I can't ait for season two,... Paramount+ confirmed on February 15 that more episodes are indeed on the way. It's unclear how many new episodes will be shot and if they will consider it a full season, but rest assured that the story isn't ending yet.
In this case, even Netflix failed me: According to IMDB trivia, the Stargate wikia, GateWorld, and a blog post by producer Joseph Mallozzi… this was originally a longer episode (63 minutes vs. 43 minutes, excluding commercials), and was cut down for syndication. Twenty minutes is a lot of material to cut, even if part of it was a "last week on Stargate SG-1 segment—and the list of omitted scenes in the shortened version is damning (see SG wikia).
Fans were right to be mad at MGM for issuing those early DVDs with the shortened version. Without even having seen the original cut, the syndicated version still feels like it's missing something. I'm mad that Hulu, Netflix, iTunes, and Vudu all have the shortened version despite later DVD releases of the show coming with the longer original cut. (Google Play might have the full version, but it's doubtful. Can't tell because it doesn't show episode runtimes in the store.)
My next step will be to request the Season 8 DVDs via interlibrary loan, just so I can watch this episode as it was intended.

y'all tripping, this was a good movie and +1 for the fox being bad
The wraith make a much scarier enemy than the Goa'uld. They almost make the Goa'uld seem silly.
oh absolutely.
5/5 a total masterpiece fuck the gossip!
this is a wonderfully depressing and dark episode
I really like how it approaches the idea of how kids would develop in a world like this
how some might be desensitized to the whole idea of zombies
it's also one of the defining Carol moments of the show
Coincidence that Alexander Skarsgård — aka. Eric Northman — stars in this movie? I think not!
Funny as shit. And then sad as hell when you realize it's basically just a documentary.
I would laugh a lot more in this movie if the satire didn't hurt this much.
