I'm a quite sensitive watcher so you can imagine how much I cried during this episode. Like a baby. So sad yet brilliant!
"The Music Dance Experience is officially cancelled."
The Imitation Game was a fairly typical and good biopic, even if it did stray a lot from the reality of the events. Turing definitely wasn't the lone wolf who single-handedly cracked Enigma he's portrayed as being, and was in fact supported by thousands of people, with many playing integral roles that don't even get mentioned in the movie. Most of the dramatic conflicts in the movie are just completely made up, with the real Turing being well-liked by his colleagues, not being so in the closet, not having issues with his superiors, never being threatened with getting fired, having entirely different bookends to his relationship with his fiancee and a far less "simple" end to his life. In fact, Joan Clarke never experienced such pressure from her parents and women in Bletchley Park outnumbered men four to one, so a major part of her role was practically fiction and just "hurr, women had it so tough back then" which, while it was indeed the case, isn't something that this particular story should be representing.
Of course, this is a dramatic movie so it does make sense to have some artistic liberties taken but at this point the entire movie's "based on a true story" only so far as its plot synopsis is accurate. In adapting it to a movie, there were also a number of unconvincing contrivances and convenient coincidences to move the plot along, with your typical chance happening causing a eureka moment, as well as entirely downplaying his homosexuality, presumably to appeal to a larger (older) audience. Now, excusing all the historical inaccuracies and keeping in mind it is meant to be just a movie, it's still enjoyable. Cumberbatch is fantastic, even though Turing's personality is largely exaggerated, and the rest of the cast are good too, even if the story doesn't care about any of them. Desplat's score's great as usual and there was a surprising number of comedic moments which I wasn't expecting at all from the promotional material. There was too much repetition of aphorisms and wink wink casual mentions of things that had happened earlier in the movie which all seemed pretty forced. If you're okay with biopics completely misrepresenting their historical figures, it's a pretty good movie.
wish i can just skip the russian stuff (this review also applies to real life)
Ever watched your grandma chase a rat around the house and think I should write a tv episode about this? No? Me either.

I'm not sure how i'm gonna keep watching the show without the world's best boss Michael Scott :(
Watching this show live has been such a special experience, Since I watched Breaking Bad and BCS years after they first debuted I was spoiled on most of the deaths via cultural osmosis. This death hit me incredibly hard, probably the most tragic death for me since Mike in BB or Adrianna in the Sopranos. For the entire episode I wasnt sure if Nacho was going to die, It seemed absurd to kill one of the series main characters in the 3rd episode of the season but I’m glad they did it. This episode was incredibly impactful and the send off to Nacho Varga was amazing. Rest In Peace king
So horny people started the Walking dead huh?
How do people succeed in just using 5 mins to tell such a great story and others manage to fail in 2hrs of film?
Ahh the wait for next week will be brutal!! Also.. that waffle party, huh?
this was the best episode of the boys so far, it felt like a season finale! the Billy-Soldier Boy-Homelander fight was everything I didnt knew I needed! and Annie now is fucking done with the bs. I cant wait for the next
Damnit Butcher, did you learn NOTHING?!
Hands down the best episode in whole of Attack on Titan. AND THEY ONLY TALKED!!!!!!!
This episode should have been a movie, Fincher never disappoints.
Stan Edgar:
Then why are you still here?
Are you looking for my approval like I’m your daddy? And even if I were, what would there be to approve of? The company is yours.
No one left to stand up to you.
But I think you’ll come to sorely regret that.
Homelander:
And why is that?
Stan Edgar:
Because there’s no one left to cover for you, either.
Eventually, probably soon, the world will recognize you for the pitiful disappointment you are.
You are not worthy of my respect.
You are not a God.
You are simply bad product.
Edward Norton dominates this film.
The last hug by Pam with Michael. Damn so intense. Rollercoaster episode.
Max not letting the others know about sharing similar symptoms of the previous two victims was dumb as fudge. Lucas acting like a douchebag just for the sake of fitting in in what he thinks is a cool group of guys feels like bending the core of his character too much. But, yeah, it's all for the plot's sake, so anything goes. This season sure is heavy on the clichés.
I absolutely love the horror and gore vibe of this season, but, apart from that, it's really not convincing me, story and character-wise.
Another filler. Fast forward to 42'35, thank me later
Just skip the first 40 minutes and you're fine
You know what…. Fuck maeve…… I want ruby to be happy and with Otis ….. it’s probably not gonna happen tho
Edgar Wright really outdid himself this time and I’m consistently amazed by his work. The direction in this film is honestly probably the best of year with every shot so delicately placed and beautiful, the scenery in this film is obviously stunning and the costume design absolutely phenomenal. You can really tell every time Edgar Wright makes a film how much a movie movie buff he is. Every song in this film feels so perfectly chosen for every scene and the score is amazing as well. Thomasin McKenzie was absolutely amazing in this film and deserves more love because this film was marketed it seems as Ana Taylor Joys film and when it comes to Ana Taylor Joy she absolutely stole the show and made your eyes lock in on her with every scene she was in. Can’t understate how artistic this film is and just a good horror movie in general as well. Easily one of the best movies this year if not the best so far.
Gotta love a good use of a great song.
I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. - Andy
Isn't that what we all wanna know? :(
PS: The Office - One of the best TV Series finale I have ever seen. So many emotions. Cried a lot. Will miss each and every person in the series. So much love for this show! <3
Fun fact: the lactant specialist is Jenna Fischer’s husband
I suspect Gabi would still be annoying as fuck, even if she wasn't a brainwashed fanatic.
These last few episodes were really intense and emotional... I wasn't expecting it
