Flat out, this is in my personal top 5 movies of all time. I'm sure you all know why. It isn't just the best superhero movie out there. It is just straight up a great film by any measurement. I remember seeing it the first time. I got to go see it early with my boss and fellow employee since I worked at a theater at the time. I was struck by the movie so well that I couldn't come up with conversation for like half of the drive back. I just had to sit there silently and deal with the ecstasy overdose I had.
Seriously, if you think this movie is bad, then I think you're bad at life.
Batman: "Some things never change, Quinn". I loved this line and I like this arc for Harley.
A cute movie but the more forgettable from Disney this year. Definitely shouldn’t win best animated film. It’s mostly just loud and sort of uneven. With Mirabei randomly bonding with family members.
I have seen the movie again since then and it has grown on me more.
The ending when you figure out Alaksa was the one who died in the car accident changed my life.
I didn't know where to go. I felt trapped inside my own body, like a block of stone slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Fantastic how a show can bring up such strong feelings, truly remarkable.
Holy fuck, that was the funniest episodes of a TV show I've seen in recent times.
In a series that is full of win, this one completely knocks it out of the park. The fake ads are painfully funny and poignant.
A difficult movie to watch, makes me scared of ever having kids.
I wanted to like this movie, but I found myself shouting at the screen so many times that, by the time the story wrapped up, I wasn't rooting for anyone. A dark take on the whole "bad seed" theme, Tilda Swinton plays the frustrated mother to a child with so many problems, it's hard to know where to start. And, while most of his aggression is aimed directly at her, I find it hard to believe that NO ONE else in his life (teachers, neighbors, grandparents, the other people in town, the police) noticed his disturbing behavior as a child. His father is clueless, always siding with the child even as he's defiant in front of the parents. "He's a boy...that's what boys do." Um, no. This kid clearly has psychological issues--anyone can see that.
But the filmmakers choose to ignore that and blame nearly everything on the mother. She tries and tries to connect with her son, and he's nothing but snide and manipulative, to the point where the movie drifts from being a twisted family tale into straight-up horror movie land. Whenever she notices him doing something wrong, he always looks up and her and smiles. ALWAYS, even when she's in the kitchen and he's outside and can't possibly know where she is or what she's thinking. It grows laughable near the end when she realizes what he's doing and looks up and he's staring at her and smiling in the creepiest way. You're reminded it's a movie and not real life, taking you out of the drama. It's all over the top guilt aimed squarely at the one person who's actually trying to fix the problem.
By the way, as a parent and member of the community, I find it hard to believe this kid's behavior would be tolerated. It starts at the beginning and just gets worse--but the mother doesn't seem to realize that her child is different. I can't believe she doesn't talk to other parents to get a sense of what kinds of behaviors are normal rebellion and which ones are clearly sociopathic. And after the "incident," I would have moved away. The only reason she would choose to stay in the same town is for the punishment, blaming herself for what happened. She's found her own personal hell, and she thinks what Kevin did was her fault--and she should pay the price. I found it unbelievable, though. All kids are special and different, but a kid like that needs professional help, not a new bow and arrow. Thanks Dad!
The filmmaker chose to skip around in time, showing events and then what led up to those events. It's an interesting choice but takes away most of the tension because the viewer knows what's coming. There is only one "surprise" moment in the film--but it is seriously creepy and comes out of left field to answer several questions. In the end, they don't "talk about Kevin," and that's the primary issue. Maybe if they had, things would have turned out differently. I liked that the filmmaker chose to show less violence than she could have, but I wonder why--the entire film sets up how evil this child is, but then, in the end, the filmmaker protects us from seeing the result of that evil. Again, it feels like an attempt to excuse or cover up his behavior. The film ends up just being a frustrating exercise in bad parenting, bad judgement, and blaming your kids for ruining the fun, tomato-themed life you had before they came along.
Expected an atleast semi-realistic portrayal of a vulnerable child descending into madness due to unfortunate circumstances (like an actual school shooter). Instead i get an episode of Goosebumps where a mother gives birth to a literal demon child. Completely ridiculous and unbelievable.
While Sweden was a predictable winner, I don’t get why people think a meme song is more deserving to win. It was goofy and fun, but on artistry alone, Loreen’s vocals left everyone in the dust. Sorry Finland, I just don’t see it.
I'll be repetitive but I'll say it again, there is no series in history with dialogue as well written and logically staged as Succession.
This whole episode and particularly the balcony scene were a masterclass in directing, acting, writing and editing. Every action and every word spoken convey so much meaning, and yet they feel so organic. I feel thankful to be able to witness such brilliance.
"Running people over is not a selling point." Never been so disappointed in you, Willa.
ron's little wasted dance is the reason this is a 10/10 episode
"Life is addition up until age 40, and after that it's subtraction."
Never knew Sly was so good at polo. Never knew about his dad knocking him off a horse. Wish he talked about his adventures in the porn industry. Wish we saw more people talking about Sly. Wish they had a whole section about Cobra and Demolition Man. Man, this could've been so much more now that I think about it!
Still it makes me want to watch Rocky again. Anyway Sly is a decent watch but not as fun as the 4 part Schwarzenegger one. He defeated you again Stallone!
So amazed by the UK result. 2nd place and 1st in Jury vote. Ukraine definitely got the sympathy vote. Word is the UK will be hosting next year anyway...
One of the greatest closing scenes ever filmed.
No Netflix, no that was so not right!
Fuck this has made me angry all over again
I wish they included more technical explanation about the car with 3D visuals but I understand that it's for casual audience.
Great to take a trip into the past.. I'd forgotten how well they did in the one and only season in F1. Definitely worth watching.
8/10
Brawn - The Impossible Formula 1 Story is beautiful! A very well produced 2009 Drive to Survive full of heart and emotion! A must watch to anyone that likes F1 :heart:
What a sick and hilarious at the same time. Love their environmental crap cars...
This is where phobies storyline with her parents acc looks like it’s gonna be good, but I’m pretty sure her dads only in one episode and her mums only in a few more. So yk it feels like a missed opportunity. Also that guy saying Ross is a bad person needs to chill, she looked weird bald.
Thank you Hugh Laurie for speaking out the truth.
That moment when Joey figured out what's going on between Chandler and Monica was so hilarious.. I couldn't stop laughing :D
Really slow paced and probably a turn off for a lot of people, but I like it. The show is slowly building up that ominous tension.
This is a really thoughtful show. Sure it’s not fast paced with explosions but it’s character building…. It takes its time and begs the question…. What is underneath these characters? A great start….
