Watchable because of the excellent cast but it definitely feels a shadow of its former self.
How many Muppets had to die for Villanelle's golf outfit?
What's the point of this season?
What is going ON with this show! I usually find Eve and Vilanelle to be very distracting, but today I got bored halfway through and now I don't know all that transpired. This never ever could have happened during season one or two. I don't like the writer change.
I'm mainly watching because I like Eve. And it used to be for V's charms, too, but for one thing, I haven't forgiven her for shooting Eve; and for another, V hasn't been nearly as twinkly incandescent funny this season.
Not that their relationship will heal anytime soon- V is too busy stocking up kills and traumatizing Eve with grisly scenes.
Two of my favourite quotes from the show are are in this episode. One really funny one from Carolyn goes:
“I can’t stand breakfast. It’s just constant egg. Why? Who decided this?”
And another sad one from Villanelle undercover at AA “I hurt myself, I don’t feel it. I buy what I want, I don’t want it. I do what I like, I don’t like it.”
Both stick in my head.
"You couldn't be anywhere near Epstein and not know." I have to say the retelling and production quality was outstanding. I had to blink twice with Rufus Sewells make-up and acting. Billie Piper, Gillian Anderson, and Keely Hawes all captivated the perfect amount of acting, "Like a walk in the park." The genius in dialogue and dramatisation, my eyes and ears were hooked. Power in the wrong hands is pure evil, If anything is to be learnt, it's to watch who we give our power to. I do wish it had gone deeper than surface level, but the inside to key events felt good enough.
the fart scene and entire bench conversation was a riot. hilarious show :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:
The first few episodes start off a bit shakey and a lot of the characters initially start off a bit dense and/or one dimensional. I would urge you to give it another go and get through a couple of episodes. After that, this show proves it is entirely worthy of the score and praise it gets.
I'm half tempted to give this full marks just for daring to play Radiohead's Everything in Its Right Place during your typical military in dropship scene. Anyway my boy Gareth knocked out another cracking piece of scifi. You really don't mind when a director takes a few years off and comes back with something like this. There's certainly a fair amount of Rogue One, Blade Runner and Terminator in the mix, the latter of which he takes the Judgement Day plot and turns it on its head defying expectations where I assumed it was going just due to the tropes of the genre.
There's also a lot of stuff on screen for 80mill in comparison to other recent effects heavy films. Gets you wondering if budgets elsewhere escalate to $200 mill mark due to talent demands or that something like this has less behind the scenes VFX artists but take longer to bake? I dunno. Either way, check it out. The trailer gives too much away (as always my opinion) however there's plenty more that isn't shown.
NB. Watch out for the Scarif Easter egg
I felt so many things watching this. It's stunning, it's twisted, it's weird, it's hot. One thing's for sure, it'll be on my mind for quite some time.
Timothee Chalamet absolutely won over my heart with this one. When I was growing up I loved both renditions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so when I heard they were making a prequel I was definitely intrigued. This was everything my heart could want and more, the songs were sombre and bittersweet - like something out of your childhood dreams. The acting was good, corny at times, but it was the sheer wittiness that gave this film its charm. I would definitely recommend checking this out.
Was funny when Ed said come over and have dinner and meet Annabelle, the next scene she looked devestated lol.
For me 1890 has the best story, followed by 2023. Didn’t like the 1941 timeline much yet.
Hilarious from beginning to end with a solid throughline of Bender's disgruntledness with his human compatriots. The all-robot planet was a nice setting for both Trek-ian riffs on weird alien cultures, and some satire aimed at the still salient American xenophobia as well. But apart from the riffs and commentary and good character work with Bender, it's just a damn funny episode. The comedic rhythms of the show aren't settled yet, so the pace is a little slower, but bits like the robot elders saying "Silence" before everything, or Fry obliviously sticking with his "uninhabited planet" line, or Bender trying to get off for Robanukah are just a taste of the laughs in this one. It's striking how funny this show was this early in its run.
Hipster academics having Seinfeld conversations in a retro fabulous stage play that takes a post-Thunberg twistaroo into existentialism and crisis. Smart aesthetics, precocious kids, family drama. Heavy flavours of New York arthouse, Woody Allen and David Byrne. Early notes of tiresome pretentious satire but a lingering and satisfying aftertaste.
A wonderful summary of all the reasons why I despise the vast majority of all horror movies. The only scary parts were the dialogues and what the writers had planned next.
Disenchantment, this may not be the greatest masterpiece in history, but it is a series rich in adventures, tales, remarkable and fun characters. I loved following this series
The film starts out fun, funny and ambitious. It is that way through at least half the movie. After awhile it got a bit draggy and not as involving.
There’s a villain but we don’t see enough of him to feel like they are in danger by him. While it feels like the characters spend half the movie figuring out what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Despite my problems with it there was still no doubt I’d still give the film ***. It has plenty of humor, action, locations and very committed actors.
Enjoyable, some fun scenes, but far less epic than the first. It's also a very obvious setup for the next one, which seems hinted at to be much more epic in scale.
Don't know who is more annoying, Franklin or Jar Jar Binks.
As an uncultured gay, it pains me to admit that I have not read the novel and I have nothing to compare this adaptation to, but my own expectations and this movie totally meets them. The chemistry between the two leads, the back and forth banter, the well-portrayed and sensual sex scenes; it is a 10 out of 10 recommendation.
Raise your hand if you replayed the "I was wrong" dance.
ineffable husbands to ineffable dads. we love the growth
It saddens me to see them part ways, but it feels right, given how things have developed throughout this season.
Pete was so much fun in the first season, but a true party popper on this second one.
The show runners seem to have had a change of heart between seasons, and a hilarious S&M show was turned into a sappy drama. This lead to what truly feels like the series finale I did not want, but one that fitted the tone of the second season like a glove. Unfortunately.
It was enjoyable to revisit this world as well as these characters, and the ability to make choices determining the path of the story adds an extra layer of fun. I completed it twice in one sitting to explore as many options as possible; it was uproarious the first time but less so the second time revisiting many of the same jokes, and there were far more dead ends than I expected, many of which were very amusing. Jacqueline could have been used better to participate in the main storyline, but otherwise this serves as a unique sendoff for the show.
2/10 TERRIBLE
My god this is bad….
I like Catherine Tate but she has created the most loathsome character ever!!!!
The jokes fall flat and are very dated, the situation comedy part is skin crawling bad and there’s not one likeable person in the show…
I forced my way through episode 1 and then did the same again for episode 2, hoping I could see so glimmer of hope.
It never came!!!!!!
I like the whole vibe to the story so far and the direction they could take it. I like how anyone can possibly be a skrull but honestly they could have did more leading up to this in the past movies. Kind of how Peter Parker said he was with Nick fury during no way home but it wasn’t really him. They could have did more with making Nick fury coming back to earth a big deal too.
One of those movies that's almost too unique to really be good, but maybe that's ok. It's still plenty entertaining. There's some fun, gory, zombie kills and the musical numbers are generally pretty great. It's got a weird, good, off-kilter energy. I wasn't particularly satisfied by the time I finished it, but I didn't regret my time with it either. It's certainly unique - unlike anything else I've ever watched.
I never knew I needed to see a Christmas zombie musical but I'm glad I did. Such a unique movie that doesn't always work but I love the idea. Plus most of the songs are great.
