This was a beautiful end to an amazing series. Thanks for this show. It was special.
I'm calling it, it's the best new show I've seen in a while. If it wasn't for The Good Place, I'd have no bones calling it the best new comedy since Parks & Rec. It just keeps getting better and better.
There are no shootouts, there are no violent scenes of murder, there is only talking and talking, and talking. This show is about behaviour without really showing it. Superb directing by Fincher, Douglas, Kapadia and Lindholm, but where the show really excels is in the writing.
"He's very emotionally available... that's a red flag." Jessica 2020
You can smell Mark's desperation.
Jessica trying really hard to snake Amber's man out from under her.
[tv+] A handful of feminist fantasies that are between the ridiculous and the soporific, and whose metaphorical interpretations are so childish that they provoke embarrassment. It works best when it is directly introduced to the absurd comedy ("The woman who returned her husband"). But when it pretends to be more transcendent ("The woman who found bite marks on her skin") it is really unbearable.
What is a woman? You are either Male, Female or Hermaphrodite the rest is made up. You either have a penis or a vagina... If you cut of your penis and take hormones you are still a male with a cut off penis that's taking female hormones. Two of the chromosomes (the X and the Y chromosome) determine your sex as male or female when you are born. They are called sex chromosomes: Females have 2 X chromosomes. Males have 1 X and 1 Y chromosome. If there are extra chromosomes its very rare and a defect. What is this clown world? You can't argue with facts...
I have nothing against transgenders but let's keep it real! It's the same when I would identify myself as a male cat while you clearly see a human female. And I can't expect anyone to change reality and enter my imaginary delusional bubble and call me a male cat. Just because you feel like something doesn't make it reality. Just like Martina Big isn't a black woman, Dennis Avner isn't a tiger and Rodrigo Alves isn't a Ken Doll. But again if you are a male and you really want to live your life as a female go do what makes you happy! Live your life as a transgender! But don't claim to be something you are not just because you feel like it.
I really wanted to quote this:
Matt: "I want to understand reality and get to the truth."
Professor Dr. Patrick Grzanka: Yea, I'm really uncomfortable with that language "getting to the truth" because that sounds deeply transphobic to me and if you keep going we are going to stop the interview. The word truth is condescending and rude"
This movie offers a unique experience. It gives you one of the most genuine and undoctored glimpses into the soulless eyes of corporate Hollywood
There is no love for making movies
There is no love for the source material
The only interest is making something with the specific goal of being a "Blockbuster".
There is nothing to it but the intent of making money.
There's legit nothing to this movie.
Every shot you see is made just for cool trailer moments....
The Characters have no life or personality to them, They don't make any emotional connection with the viewer.
The acting........ no
There's no real plot or pacing
The effects can be good at times but its far and few in-between
The fighting and action scenes are rendered useless with the unprecedented amount of jump cuts done in editing....
I enjoy movies that might have glaring flaws, or even be considered bad, I'm not a heartless critic... But there are no redeemable qualities about this movie.
You can't even spin it as a "So Bad It's Good" movie, its just that incompetent on every imaginable level.
0/10 - Genuinely
The marketing and trailer of the film suggested a horror movie with a creepy monster. That may well be the case, but this is not a conventional horror film at all - there is far, far more to this outstanding film than that. To say more would give away the plot, but clear hints as to the identity of the “Babadook” and how it fits into the narrative ensure the reveal and resolution are unsurprising. That, though, misses the point - here the journey the audience is taken on is so compelling that the reveal and resolution to the story don’t need to surprise. Essie Davies plays a single mother still coming to terms with the death of her husband and the young Noah Wiseman is her son who is exhibiting behavioural issues. They both give outstanding natural performances and the film is rooted in such verisimilitude that the introduction of the horror element almost feels intrusive. Not that this is unsuccessful either - the “monster’ initially lurks in the shadows, creating a palpable sense of foreboding and dread and the sound design of the film helps to emphasise this, creating some wonderfully creepy moments. Fortunately, rather than worrying about horror conventions and gimmicks to scare, the filmmakers explore far more gripping issues and concerns - that of a mother’s struggle to raise a child on her own and cope with unresolved grief, loss, isolation and helplessness. If there was a minor criticism, it is that the final act occasionally focuses more on the conventions of horror and suspense that had been so carefully balanced throughout. But this is a nitpick at best and doesn’t detract from one of the finest films of the year and a strong message that true horror is as firmly rooted in reality as it is in the supernatural and fantasy.
This show is great & amazing scenery. Makes me want to visit Montana.
Wait a future that has everything digital still has ATMs & cash?
Robots don’t kill people, people kill people. LOL.
Dolores has pretty bad aim, didn't these robots learn anything from The Terminator?
That ending after the credits...I wonder if writers in Hollywood are running out of story ideas, so many plots using Nazi's. What's up with that?
This movie was an amazingly beautiful and immersive look into what it's like to be a child in what feels to us adults like a pretty grim situation. I enjoyed it and thought it was a great (unconventional) movie.
probably the best film michael bay has made since "the island" or maybe even since "the rock", it feels like a summer blockbuster from the 90s, reminiscent of "speed" and "con air", but not so much in a campy way like "the expendables" - rather in a completely sincere michael bay way, with massive car chases, loud explosions and strange rollercoaster-like camera movements
also, this looks like it cost a lot more to make than it actually did, demonstrating that bay doesn't need a 9-figure budget to make a big action flick
btw, this is actually a remake of a danish film from 2005, but if they had called it "grand theft auto" instead of "ambulance", it would have been a more successful video game adaption than "uncharted" was
It feels like this show is a bit under the radar, it's pretty good though. (5 episodes in)
Hope it doesn't get cancelled.
Somehow, this movie had me actually hooked the entire time. I'm not even sure how, as I intended to get some work done while having it play in the background.
All I can say is I loved the main characters and felt the relationship between Amanda and Lily was very well played out and developed. Also some incredible character development for Lily, which shows that she's even worse than Amanda was, or at least the capacity for much worse. One a sociopath, one a psychopath.
Highly recommend, if you are able to follow unusual movie's and odd plotlines.
Super slow movie. Fell asleep multiple times.
Holy shit this is good. I know there have been a lot of hitman series this year, but I think I prefer this to both Barry and Killing Eve, for instance. It's beautiflly shot, it's funny but also jarringly real and sparse. And it's only 6 half-hour episodes!
The concept of the show kind of perfectly represents the show itself. You go out with a bunch of old friends thinking it's going to be a great time, and in the end, things don't turn out the way you were expecting and everybody just kind of ends up disappointed.
I went into this expecting a laugh out loud comedy with a great cast, and there was some of that, but by the end it became more drama, and nothing really ended in a satisfying way either.
I do think the cast was good, and there are some good funny moments, and well done serious moments, but I think overall the show has a weird balance, and doesn't really pay off in a way that leaves any of the characters or audience satisfied. But then again, that's very similar to the night out with old friends from college the show describes, so maybe it achieved exactly what it wanted to achieve.
On one hand I do kind of hope there's another season, only because there's so much left unresolved in the end, but you're never going to get a resolution that satisfies everybody, so I'm not sure if the show should have one either. It's just a strange show. It definitely kept me interested enough to binge it though, so I'll give it that.
All of the backstories I've seen so far were great, but this one was truly special. Wow, what an episode.
What a fantastic episode. I don't normally enjoy episodes that revolve around one character but this one was great.
This Jessica chick is on my last nerves... so draining. She's so hung up on Barnett and can't stop talking about him. Mark is a good dude... she's the worst!
This series has some good action and comedy, but this the kind of drama makes for a truely great episode.
Well that was a nice origin story.
What a strange film, it was lovely at times, and also depressing, guess that's Christmas sometimes. I enjoyed it, and I have soft spot when it comes to heartwarming films so it made me tearful in parts. I'm glad it ended in the way it did, It really makes you think what you have in life, and what's really in front of you. I liked the narrator twist even that someone was going through something... giggle
This was.... interesting. It's one of those films that tries to do too much and ends up falling short. It was a bit all over the place for me in terms of not only style, but also storyline and characters. There are some really incredible dialogues, and the connection between the catholic religion and environmental activism was something that I had never thought about before and yet makes so much sense, so that was definitely my favourite part about this film: it touches a subject and a discussion through an original perspective, even if at times it felt a bit propagandistic. The ending sure was something.. not particularly one I liked, though.
8/10
I LOVE this show but season 2 was really lacking something. I heard there is a season 3, so I really hope they do better!
Don't expect anything incredible out of this. The concept is interesting, but anyone watching that has any sense of emotional maturity will know it's all for entertainment's sake.
There's no growth; the players will continue to be players, the dramatic will continue to be dramatic. This ain't about changing how people date or form relationships or fall in love.
If you're looking something to turn your brain off to during the quarantine, go for it. If you're looking for something with actual improvement of the cast, look elsewhere.
that was a really emotional episode
The logic is a bit messy. Like how did they spend three weeks teaching Walt to be Calvin and yet he doesn’t even skim Calvin’s thesis despite reading Sophie’s and Sophie doesn’t think it could be important that her “boyfriend” knows her parents were dead. Also, how is she rich if she grew up next to a toxic dump site. Are Calvin’s parents rich and if so how did they meet. Or, did she get some sort of settlement from her parents wrongful death from pollution either could be interesting but they just let her be rich for the sake of getting her to Mars. I am glad that in the future we discover that crippling anxiety can be cured immediately by dancing. Also, why is it called Moonshot? There had to have been a more clever title.
I thought it was cute and I liked the introduction of Zach Braff’s character and would have liked to see more of him and Cole. I think they did too much trying to balance complicated romance narrative and Walt’s personal growth/Charlie and the Chocolate factory storyline. I feel like they could have just simplified some things and cut 20 minutes off the movie and it would have been better. What I think might have happened given Greg Berlanti’s involvement it could have been conceived as a series—and episode on Earth, a few on their way to Mars, and a couple more once when they arrived—allowing the world and relationships to be explored and explained with out having to quickly explain away things to have time for the love story. I’m disappointed because I feel like the performances were generally good and the concept was interesting but it needed some better script edit or restructuring.
