How does anyone stomach Taylor Swift? The enormous ego and platitudes towards the other guests. Ruined the show.
I've been laughing way too long at "go marry your sister"
this episode was a great little deep dive into Rick's character
spinning the majority of the episode trying to hunt down the person who took a s*** in his super secret private bathroom planet lol yes You read that right
Rick stops at nothing to to find the culprit
only to fine a lot of his self and his insecurities in The person responsible
The episode ends with one of Rick's most vulnerable humbling moments at an all-time low as he takes a dump in his vast lonely domain that's some deep s***
y'all
Loved the music, the behind the scenes, and the locations choices, but the pacing, editing and whole aesthetic was just not for me.
Love how they aggressively go at every angle
So, do the writers not know that people outside of New York City watch the show too?
Was that class they showed an actual college class? "We Texans are the best and everybody else sucks"? Yikes!
omg he shaved his beard. this is so exciting and such amazing innovative writing.
I mean sure, that was satisfying but let's not pretend it made any kind of sense
Ms. Summer did NOTHING WRONG honey we love you :heart:
8/10
"It's pretty, but what's the purpose?" is my most constant thought while watching most scenes in this final season. It's all just unnecessary filler, but I'm still here because I've a problem with quitting things... and people haha... ha (yeah, it's a problem, I'm working on it). Anyway, my finale was the end of last season when June was martyred and carried over the fields by her goodly disciples, that was beautiful, that was the end - FIN.
Exactly as cringy as it needed to be! Loved it!
"Tom... don't cheat on my wife!" He actually said it, speechless! And what a vision, the two "mistresses" having a brief moment. "Hey what do you do here?". Can't get more stranger than this.
i think some people might be missing the point. yeah they they didn't end up flying off together happily ever after, but they did both get what they both needed.
Dom is last seen sitting in the plane, passed out. this is important because earlier it stresses the point that she has basically not had any kind of meaningful sleep or rest in like 5 years. this is her finally feeling some level of peace, and being in a place where she is not afraid of the worst and able to fall asleep peacefully.
Darlene has been so co-dependent it is crippling to her when she is forced to be alone. she runs off and has a panic attack in the bathroom, but wills herself to accept that she can be ok on her own and this serves as a turning point in her growth and ability to move on and be ok whether she is alone or not. she needs to be able to be alone before she can be with someone.
edit 12/11:
also forgot to point out what i believe to be an intentional play against the stereotypical scene in which the two would have united at the last moment, with a catchy pop song to go along with it by an artist who has been arguably borrowing from the 80s in a large portion of her catalog. and from what i can recall, but i could be wrong, the fact that you hear little to no current pop music as a part of the soundtrack in any way remotely similar to how it is used in this scene, serves to support the intended play against such cliches in other films/shows.
O Canada! Our home and native land. :flag_ca:
I’m continually impressed by how good the direction and comedic timing of this show is. It’s non-stop fun and amusement sprinkled with wonderful music and visuals.
The budget for this episode must have costed two minutes worth of Amazon's earnings.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge must be protected at all costs.
A bad attempt on what could have been an unforgettable summer love story. "Call Me by Your Name" fails in every aspect of It. It's dull, empty and forced.
From beginning to end there's no exploration of any kind. The characters don't have the depth they should have which makes the love story lacking dynamism and vivacity.
The first part of the movie is tedious and uninteresting. An hour of unnecessary scenes, that could easily be cut out, with brief dialogs of direct questions/answers, without emotions or sensibility from any character. A missed opportunity to invest in the character denseness and build their relationship. The movie doesn't give enough space for the sensations and attraction between them to evolve and, with that, we end up not caring, at all, with their bonding. All we see is a shallow relationship based, purely, in sexual encounters.
Less is more so it would have been great to see that. Less scenes, less scenarios and less dull actions and conversations. It's a movie that should concentrate merely in the connection between them and not on how beautiful the background is or how kind and aware Elio's parents are. The minor characters are completely pointless and don't bring absolutely nothing to the film.
The only positive aspect is Timothée Chalamat, In the second part of the film. He really pushes Elio's character and ends up with a very solid and strong performance. The ending shot was absolutely breathtaking. Apart from Timothée's acting, Sufjan Stevens enhanced this scene with "Mistery of Love", making one of the best ending scenes of the year. Undeniably, he deserves to win Best Original Song at the 90th Academy Awards.
I came to watch this movie with high expectations - hearing about all its nominations and seeing all the positive feedback. It disappointed me. Very big time.
Most of the scenes and dialogues in the first hour didn't make any sense. The two guys developed feelings from nothing, they barely even encountered or hung out with each other - let alone did something memorable that would lead to catching feelings for one another.
Like how other people commented here, the supporting characters had absolutely no role in the storyline, hell, maybe even the parents had unnecessary roles. But the most disappointing fact is that even the two main characters had no depth, no logical thoughts and actions. I get that Elio is supposed to be a 17-year-old, but even a teenager hasn't got that much random stuff going on in their head and in their actions as he does.
The sad thing is that the actors had a great chemistry but this storyline and these dialogues just stomped all that built-up passion into the ground. Like WTF was that scene with penetrating that poor peach?! Or that one where the movie got its title from? Why would you ask your loved (in this case, "loved") one to call you by their own name instead of yours? That's just f*cked up...
There were only 3 things I liked about this movie: the BGMs, the scenery and the penultimate scene when the father gives all that smart advice to Elio. This story had so much potential, but I guess people who read the book were right - this movie totally ruined it. I should've just read the book.
The last episode was a lot more hyped up, but I feel this episode was even more nerve wracking.
That scene with Dom searching the Red Wheelbarrow basement was longest 2 minutes of my life.
The best episode of TBBT in years! That "flashback" plot make it funny to watch, the nostalgia of seeing like they were before (creepy nerds) like in the past seasons, not the shitty plot of the current season in the style of "Friends".
Halloween episodes have always been extra fun in this show, but this one took the cake. Faster paced than the previous Halloween episodes, such a roller-coaster of an episode! And Jake focusing on Amy like that, instead of the yearly competition, was utterly adorable!

One of the earlier film that started cyberpunk genre in Hollywood cinemas. Considering the time it is made, the panorama of cyberpunk L.A. is impressive - it doesn't look old/fake, and you can see the way it influences the depiction of "high tech, low life" setting in later years, with tall and dark skyscrapers looming over the meagers' life of its citizens, police almost omnipresence appearing instantly as if they had eyes everywhere in the city. In the same time it is also indeed a film of its age: with ceiling fans, analogue devices, and low-res screens contrasting with its futuristic setting. Still, it is understandable how the atmosphere alone can leave a remarkable footprint on modern cinema.
However, the movie suffers from a terrible pacing. It is inconsistently slow, with ups and downs in a very sharp turns. There are moments you wished the movie can explore more, especially on exploring the fantastic atmosphere and the existential crisis of the Replicants. Meanwhile, there are other moments that you wished could've been cut short. For being a neo-noir thriller the movie hits the spot in maintaining its dark, mysterious atmosphere, but misses a lot in keeping the thrill high.
The final confrontation especially leaves a lot to be desired - as Deckard (the main character) just ran mindlessly, or, borrowing Roy's (the antagonist) line, just "being irrational", until the climax of the film. Which, again, leaves a gaping hole. The movie presents us the existential problem, the supposedly main theme of the movie, right there at Roy's dialogue. But minutes later after the monumental speech, the credits already rolled.
It's still a cult classic though. The setting was great. Worthy to be watched at least once.
I can't believe Mark got sent home. One of my favorites and hands down one of the most improved, and I thought he would make it to the finale from the beginning.
Lynch at his most self-indulgent in an episode that spent five awkward minutes or so in the eponymous town. In fact, we're three episodes into this thing now and have maybe spent ten minutes in any of the charming and quirky settings that I fell in love with alongside a young Agent Cooper. Heck, this thing so far has been entirely lacking in any and all of the sorts of people and things that made this show so charming and interesting and quirky in the first place. But it's doubling down -- heck, quadrupling down -- on the weird, almost as if Lynch is determined to ensure that no one can accuse him of going mainstream. A huge disappointment so far.
Jimmy Fallon is so cool , energetic and musically gifted . He inspires me xD !
