so im just supposed to go on with my life after this?????????
EDIT: upon rewatch, I believe the open bar and pageantry of the premiere enabled me to put on goggles that shielded me from the trainwreck that is this film. Rian Johnson is a sorry excuse for a writer. It will probably be retconned at least 5 times in episode 9.
World Premiere Review: Vague, Spoiler-Free Edition
It was amazing. It still does nostalgic fan service, but nowhere near what Episode 7 or Rogue One felt like. It feels like its own film. It gets a little slow and repetitive in the last half of the first third of the film, but after the major show down in the middle of the film, it's non-stop action that's brilliantly paced. GO SEE IT!
This show is filling the Orphan Black shaped hole in my heart. Thanks, BBC America!
"Not everything is fleeting."
Indescribably beautiful in every way. Sciamma knows exactly when to linger and exactly when to let go. This is a film that is in complete control. It doesn’t just depict the longing, the love, the heartbreak; it gives the audience permission to experience these feelings with the film. It allows us into these moments in such delicate and masterful ways, that we are swept up into the romance along with Marianne and Héloïse.
Its interesting how many shots in this movie could exist in the latest artsy horror film released by A24. But in the context of this film, they don’t horrify the audience; they haunt us. They haunt us both despite and because of their beauty. They haunt us in the same way as Orpheus’ last goodbye to Eurydice.
"Turn around."
Finally, a good sequel. Good god the animation, it's so beautiful. And the action was so smooth. Also, Pixar better gives us a short movie about Edna babysitting Jack-Jack.
It starts with slow pace but it's getting better and better.Plot is really special and the idea well excetuted.I loved Blunt's perfomance she was just for this role.
I would expect a better final scene but overall i am very satisfied with the result and i suggest to see this tense thriller.7.7/10 from me hope you enjoy your watch! :)
Having David Tennant back as Kilgrave was a blast! Showed what this season is lacking, a true villain.
I watched this with one of my friends from Uni and I am still reeling from it many hours later. It's iconic, life giving, and everything I never knew I needed to see on a big screen. I laughed so hard I cried, and I cried so much my face needed a grade a certifiable ShamWow to clean it up. Maybe I'm too sentimental, maybe I'm still feeling the high from this film, but it is a grade A romcom drama that gets what being a part of this community is like and it is well worth the watch. You can tell it was a creation of love, and whether you're part of the community or not I am sure you can appreciate and enjoy this film.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Fear Street Part One: 1994’:
Lemme tell you… I loved it! It was nostalgic. It was an homage to so much that has come before (that intro had ‘Scream’ written all over it). But it also had a hefty dose of originality. Great characters you cared about. It took risks. It surprised you. And it was a LOT more mature than I expected it to be. I loved the books way back when, and this made me wanna read them again. Bravo.
I LOVED the LGBT twist in the beginning! Did NOT expect that person to be Sam. Solid execution.
It had a bit of a Hocus Pocus vibe to me, which made the character deaths and the paths into “Rated R” territory that much more effective. It was a weird and welcomed mix.
Bonus Thought: I legit can’t wait for the next one. Super invested.
So the brilliant idea which could stop a nuclear bomb from blowing up Central City came from Iris's head and not from Barry's?! the guy who's brain can process information at or near the speed of light?! Why am I even ranting about this? she knows everything the plot needs her to know! Fuck me. bitch.
Saying that, this was a well done episode.
HAROLD, THEY'RE LESBIANS!
This episode was so hard to watch. Sarah Paulson deserves an Emmy.
Trish and Jessica’s relationship is the heart of the show. I hope the writers don‘t ruin that further in season three.
I feel this film was more heartwarming and sweet than the first. Great cast, great special effects that don't even feel like effects,
Perhaps the new showrunner deserves a few rights. As a treat. She's giving the gays everything we want and we are HERE for it hunny!!!
and killing eve is giving everything the lesbians want
IT'S HAPPENING LESBIANS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can already tell people are gonna hate on this episode since they don't like Iris. But all I have to say is Run, Iris, Run!
Wow, what an intense episode. Definitely the best we've had in quite a while.
Grant Gustin is a damn fine actor, holy shit. Barry's conversation with Iris was such an emotional moment, and you could really feel his despair and exhaustion. It was so powerful.
Killer Frost cares about Caitlin! Yes, please! This is the content I am here for! I hope they retain each other's memories from now on. Maybe they'll even find a way to share the body so that they can both exist at the same time, sort of like Firestorm?
It was nice to see Jesse again, and I'm happy that she and Harry are back on good terms. I had tears in my eyes when he shared his memories of her mother with her. What a lovely, touching moment.
Jay Garrick is always a pleasure. I'm curious about that female Speedster on Earth-3. I have a feeling that we're going to see her at some point.
WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THAT GIRL? She keeps popping up and being all mysterious. Some people told me that she's Barry and Iris's daughter or granddaughter or something? I'm dying to know what she's doing there.
I really struggled giving this an honest opinion. I think this focused more on special effects rather than the horror aspect. I loved the original It from 1990. And I also love the novel very much but this doesn't really do it for me. It was a good movie yes but too much computer special effects rather than just makeup spx. Anothing thing that annoyed me was Pennywise's death. It looked cheaply made. It could've been made sooo much better, but I understand how hard that would've been with their vision. One last thing that was awesome was Stephen King's cameo in the shop. It made me feel very comfortable to see him. Oh and let me add that the actors are perfect, they really succeeded with finding good actors that has a similar look as the children.
As a big true crime fan I'm loving all these docuseries from Netflix recently. I just think they could be a bit shorter. This dragged at times and could have been like two hours shorter.
But I liked that they covered most of the theories about what happened and didn't just focus on the parents. Which I kinda feared would happen after it came out that the McCanns were gonna sue them.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a movie that has its pride flag in the right place, but where's its heart?
A stellar cast and competent directing make this tale of a young woman sent to a Christian gay conversion camp a worthwhile watch. Like any LGBT film that escapes clichés and portrays members of the community in a favourable light, this film is easy to recommend.
That said, the story left me wanting more. More anti gay conversion therapy, more passion, more gayness, more youth, more quirkiness, more humanity, and more Sasha Lane! I'll probably re-watch this film when it's released on blu-ray, and probably still be left wanting more.
Barry loses his powers....Again! At this point the CW writers are just reusing their previous ideas although the execution of it was more satisfying then I thought it would be.
Well, damn you, Eve...
Stand out episodes were 12 & 13, along with some other great episodes. The season was dragged down however by the constant annoyance of Madison, they almost made her interesting but failed to do so and always did something to drag her back down. The rushed character deaths were just awful and had no emotion behind any of them. Yet again it was Nick and Alicia that carried and saved this season., they're written and acted so well and as soon as they're gone I'm gone. Season 3 was a 7.5/10 for me, enjoyable with great episodes but unfortunately some really noticeable flaws.
When your ex is a copy of Andrew so you relate to this episode on a deeper emotional level #imsafenow
Sensitive depiction of being gay and in love whilst in high school. I'm sure many people will relate to the raw emotion on display in this quietly affecting film.
I was a little off put about the style of storytelling. Because it was more of an improv around a theme (which included testimonials and running discussions) I found the pace was uneven. However, out of the jumble of words there did emerge some nice relational bits. I prefer scripted pieces. FIgure out what you want your piece to say, and then craft your film around it. Don't leave it to your actors to do all the heavy lifting. I give this film a 6 (fair) out of 10. [Improvisational Cinema]
''My name is not Sasha. My name's Anne. And I'm totally gay.''
but why in hell her lightling is purple lol
