This has been the most underwhelming season so far (even though I like the visibility that Nicola Coughlan received with it, she seems like an amazing person and a talented actress).
There were too many stories shrinked into these few episodes, which resulted in not enough screen time for the more interesting ones (or the leading Polin line, for one). I did not care enough about the Mondrichs and especially not for Benedict's adventures. Even though I love the raciness of Bridgerton (rightfully called horny Downton Abbey lol) and there weren't many intimate scenes this season, I was uninterested in Benedict's sex craze, it was off-putting for some reason.
I have grown to love Francesca and this new actress. I did not understand her reaction to Lord Kilmartin's cousin though - maybe they are prepping for their storyline next season, but the reaction was very out of place for me.
Insane, but I loved it. Erotic thriller madness at its finest.
Like going to the bulk cinema where you bring your own popcorn bucket and buy your horror by the pound.
This generic possession flick is all the more a tragedy because the Jewish Kabal feels like virgin territory that is being clumsily pawed at by involuntarily celeb writers.
This film and The Vigil (2019) are both great Semitic horror concepts neglected by telegraphed jump scares and tired cliches that leave us viewers frustrated and unsatisfied.
The third act of The Offering is as unoriginal as it is silly, though I did find the twist at the very end enjoyable.
More interesting for its background than for the development of a story whose main reference is the entity Abyzou, the female demon that causes abortions and kills babies motivated by envy of their sterility. There are disturbing moments, especially due to the excellent soundtrack by Christopher Young, which flees from the jumpscares that the director uses to maintain a constant tone of restlessness through guttural voices that contrast with the children's song. The film seems to look at "Rosemary's Baby" (1968), through pregnancy and the attraction of supernatural forces to the new life.
I can't recall if the official lore of Zuko's crew is the same crew he got exiled over... But damn, it's the first devation from the original I really like.
The show feels more rushed every passing episode.
I won't lie, I actually liked the previous episode more. It was a good ending, but it could have ended a bit further into the future, leaving the rest to our imagination isn't too much of a problem. I could listen to Lady Ochiba's speech for hours, she is magnificent. The conversation between Toranaga and Yabushige was really good too. Thank you for one of the best series of recent times. Here's hoping to see more productions that portray Japanese culture and history in such a high-quality manner...
I secretly wanted Fuji and Anjin to be together, I'm sorry Mariko-sama. (˘･_･˘)
The Killing of a Sacred Deer made me feel like I'd crashed a cool party where I didn't know anyone. The party was fascinating and I left having enjoyed it, but not in any way I understood.
This episode broke me. Masterful episode!
This episode should've been named "Toda Mariko". She is one hell of a strong character.
aaron taylor johnson and brian tyree henry were the absolute best part of this movie. that and all the cameos i had no idea about because i went into the movie blind.
It’s not the most inventive of plots, but it’s good at what it wants to do. A tight and lean thriller that proves just how effective simplicity can be sometimes.
Horrible to see, very interesting.
That was exciting. Millions and millions and millions of humans must have died:thumbsup:
Actually pretty fun.
I'm not sure what I was expecting coming into this, the early scenes suggested it was about be a long 87 minutes ahead. However, pleasantly, 'John Tucker Must Die' is entertaining. It's most definitely not one to take solemnly, but if you see it for what it is you might have a decent time.
The cast work delightfully together, even if they do - along with all the other characters - act cliché more often than not. Brittany Snow is surprisingly impressive as Kate, her body language and facial expressions are actually perfect for the role. Ashanti (Heather), Sophia Bush (Beth) and Arielle Kebbel (Carrie) support solidly. Jesse Metcalfe (John) seems to play the same role every time, but there's no denying he connects with Kate well.
Very silly and not a masterpiece by any definition, yet there is much to sit back with and enjoy. A mindless comedy.
Can’t wait to watch Season 2.
Not because of the Murder mystery but because I want to hang out with Marty & Steve.
This show has such a nice charm to it. Warm and fuzzy and funny and snarky.
Probably the most fun I had watching a show this year after White Lotus.
Ok, hands down best episode of the season.
It was really sweet the whole silent idea.
It also makes you think about "people [..] talks way too fucking much", and how fewer mental traffic we'd have by weighing with more care when to speak. Makes you also appreciate all the shades of reality one is able to experience by hearing, but that's a topic for another time..
Great silent comedy, also:
- that Scrabble scene!
- The typo in the hiding scene, "Are you having a stroke?"
Such a great creative episode that didn’t feel gimmicky and flowed with the series without missing a beat!! Bravo !!
ok this show is my new favorite. what a blast and unique characters. a bit slow in pacing but the plot twists keep it interesting
What a sad movie.
No one captures vibes like Sofia Coppola.
Was actually ok. The ending sort of watered it down.
Easily the worst entry in the franchise. Plot line is garbage, added new rules and neglected others. Character motivations were nonsensical. I should have skipped this one altogether.
Boring :( first one was better
Um. EXCUSE ME!? Did Emma seriously just… DIE!?:tired_face::sob: WHAT. THE. FUCK
I’m actually not sure how to feel about this. Not only did Emma cheat on her boyfriend (again:rolling_eyes:), but she was also very coldhearted and mean to Dexter the entire episode.
First, they apparently haven’t spoken for MONTHS since the FIRST time they ever hooked up? Like, what?? Did it just not matter to either of them? What the fuck??
Then Emma randomly decides to break Dexter’s heart when they finally meet again, but of course changes her mind, hooks up with him again, and follows it up with a very angry and indignant speech that holds zero warmth or love.
Like, I’m sorry, but I didn’t think this was a romantic scene at all… which is very disappointing after all this supposed growth and build-up.
Oh my god, this whole episode was so emotional!!:sob:
Their relationship is just so deeply intense and tragic, but somehow also has such a genuinely authentic feel to it. Just wow
The sharpest and funniest episode at this point, a real distillation of early AT’s appeal.
No idea if anybody realised this, but at the end of the episode, while in the brothel, there's a song playing in the background. A song that, if anybody has seen Outlander (series) would recognise. The intro, that starts with "Sing me a song, of a lass that is gone..."
Knowing that Bear McCreary composes the soundtrack for both shows explains it. But still, it was cool to recognise it.
