This movie would be way funnier if we weren't living it.

I'm a simple woman, I see Matthew Goode, I watch.

never unseeing that first 15 mins...

Watching this in a totally white audience was an experience. The little titters and nudges when 'make america great again' was mentioned, or about police officers shooting unarmed black people, or even one becoming president; to the we won mentality at the final phone call.
Then the deathly silence with the current footage being shown. I think quite a few people realised it's not just references.
These people still exist today.
They still have their rallies.
They still have their marches.
They still murder in uniform.
And they still hold these abhorrent views.

I think I even heard some people sniff away some tears right at the end once they saw the footage and heard the words of people who were there.

Enjoy the film; enjoy the jokes (it is a funny film) but make no doubt the characters shown still exist.

such a quick show to watch, and so worth it. I think i speak for everyone when i say sister michael is the best character.

we love to see another queen join the MCU.

BlacKkKlansman is an undercover film, because beneath its brilliant sheet of light-hearted biopic lurks a dark satire of racism, all lives matter and Trumpism. It will sneak up on you with its dated 70's feel and then grab you with its arresting pertinence to contemporary issues. Watch this film or be doomed to repeat it.

BlacKkKlansman is so good that I forgot it was a Spike Lee film. More seriously, it even outshines 2006's Inside Man and the closing newsreel sequence literally had me sobbing in the cinema (my over-the-top emotional responses are just one of the many reasons I always sit in the front row). Not only one of the best films of the year, this is clearly the most important film of the year.

Loki (2021)

I have been a fan boi from day one of the marvel comics...

True God of Mischief...

I am gushing over episode one...
I would actually pay Disney for this series on its own...

So grab a seat.. An enjoy...

This one episode could have been a standalone film...sooooooo many easter eggs..so good infact i am gonna watch it again..to see what i missed..

Wait. What!? WTF did I just watch?

I completely disagree with almost everyone else here who think this show is no good. I thought season 1 of Picard was a fantastic series, honestly the best telling of star trek I've seen in a long long time. It wasn't perfect but it definitely wasn't as bad as half of you are making it sound. I keep seeing consistent comments saying "I watched x amount of episodes and that's all I needed to see." Yeah that's the problem, if I only watched 15 minutes of a movie I wouldn't be qualified to give my opinion on it either.

The real problem here is that people aren't satisfied with anything these days unless it's exactly how they remember it, and times have changed. Star Trek was always good about staying relevant and to act like the Federation would stay perfect forever is just naive. Thankfully Star Trek has evolved and changed with the times, even if half of it's viewers are stuck in the 80's and 90's.

It is my opinion this show has so far got it right by ANNE RICE!!

I'm enjoying it so far (3 episodes in), but I want to rate it higher just because it's upsetting so many people that don't like shows about empowered women

In case you were wondering if this is an accurate portrayal of what it's like to live on or close to the rez...We live on the Nisqually... they are nailing their roles lol

This show is especially interesting if you have some prior knowledge of the Northern Ireland conflict. It's a funny show regardless, but it carries with it a fascinating historical background

Less is more, it’s also for true for TV Series. Nothing ”outstanding” must happen for everything to fall in place with extraordinary grace and perfection.

Short but intense comedy. Not to be missed.

This was a great series of books, that, in many ways, established a genre. I think it will be a great series, as well. It has the feel of an epic. Amazon has given it a healthy budget and Robert Jordan’s canon is extensive. These first three episodes had to cover a great deal of ground in a very short amount of time but, unlike other commentators, I feel they did it successfully. The characters are engaging. The cast is excellent and their performances are solid. The venues outside of Prague are spectacularly beautiful. Now, we just have to wait for the series to drop episode by episode (my least favourite way to stream). If it keeps this up the ratings should just climb. I give these first three episodes an 8 (great) out of 10. [Fantasy Adventure]

Here's what I was thinking, in order, as I watched this movie:

1. Not enough Harley
2. Slow
3. Not enough Harley
4. For an action movie, this is much too sedate
5. Not enough Harley
6. Boring plot. In fact...what is the plot?
7. Ok, Harley escapes and kicks ass to Louis Prima. Sweet!
8. Remind me again what the plot is?
9. Damn, still another hour to go
10. Remind me again what the plot is?
11. Oh. Right. A giant bubble gum coloured starfish cyclops...and some rats.
12. Wait, wasn't that Peter Capaldi earlier with the crayons sticking out of his head?
13. When did this become a Doctor Who movie?
14. Hang on, Bill the Cat wasn't a DC character!!!
14. WTF?!?!?

Looks like a slow burn TV show. So far, I feel it's a good pace and hopefully will dive into the backstory of both characters. There is certainly chemistry between the two leads. I'm looking forward to the impending conflict between the master and his apprentice.

This was much better than I expected. If you like Dan Brown's books you should not miss this.
If you never read them but like mystery, enigmas, crime and some adventure, give this show a chance.

The movie, Interview with the Vampire, has always been a fav. After the first episode, I immediately nearly forgot the movie and fell in love with Anderson's Louis and Reid's Lestat. Everything about Rolin Jones' interpretation feels right. The era change, the age differences for Claudia, having Louis be Black. Top notch story-telling so far. Looking forward to following this story.

1. They are vampires, it is Anne Rice of course there is going to be an LGBTQI+ theme. Vampiric sensuality, passion and blood and seduction games are not subject to Sexual Orientations as such, that has been done practically forever.

2. My recommendations, forget about racism and the change of skin because this actor is one hundred percent Louis, it is his personality, the characters at the moment are completely Anne Rice; there are three chapters and there is still a lot of cooking ahead, but for now it is highly recommended,

How awesome it would've been if she had taken over the daily show instead... now can we have this daily as compensation as well? Thanks!

Being a fan of TNG and in particular to the stoic Captain of that ship, I was very hesitant to watch this show. Added in it was being done by CBS which has had a long track of duds, I finally had to check it out. 4 episodes in and bingeing the rest, it’s wonderful. Patrick Stewart shines his talents, the storylines are thus far captivating and the graphics are splendid. Added in just enough touching upon of history of Picard to make one smile, yet not enough to rule out any new watcher of the Star Trek world, Picard is a win.

An intelligent adaptation of the Anne Rice novels that manages to be faithful but at the same time update the story and its characters. It introduces interesting elements of reflection and builds much more complex characters, who are made credible by the splendid performances. The destructive and violent romanticism is shown without limits, and especially the appearance of the new Claudia is brutal and ironic. There is a dark sense of humor that accompanies an outstanding series.

Incredible command of pacing, superb acting and insane chemistry. An abuse relationship hadn't been depicted so intensely in a lot of seasons. Top notch TV in the technical department as well, might easily be one of the best shows of 2022.

An absolute must of this season.

You will not find a more vile or offensive piece of anti-abortion propaganda out there. I don’t know how accurate this is, but apparently, the actors weren’t shown the entire script during production, but when they got their hands on it, they dropped out really fast. They didn’t know what they were involved in. Talk about propaganda.

Nick, man...you’ve gone on record saying you tried to portray both sides of the argument, and sure...time was given to both the pro-choice and pro-life sides, but it’s told through the veil of someone who sees pro-choicers as satan’s army. They are the “bad guys” so to speak. The entire atmosphere when they show up on screen is pretty menacing. Overbearingly so, and the pro-lifers are always seen with that soft, acoustic, innocent music...as they are all these angelic do-gooders, and with any good pro-life persuasion essay, you had to use the smoking gun of the argument, and went all out with shots of unnecessary gore. Here’s the thing. Abortion is not fun. It’s not supposed to be. Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. It’s also not supposed to be pretty. Heck, pregnancy and giving birth is also rather gory. Have even SEEN a placenta come out of a woman’s body? Well, I have. And I thought it was a liver and was appalled that doctors and nurses were casually removing it from my wife’s body!

The website for this film has a fact-checking list of things that did and did not happen in real life, and while I went through the list, I don’t think any of it is important. I never questioned what happened, that’s all well-documented. I just didn’t see it as menacing or malicious. One, politics are crooked with literally everything they do. I expect nothing less, but two...when these politicians went all out to try to suade the vote to pro-choice...I didn’t see that as deceit. I saw that as a vigilante act of someone trying to do what’s right for someone other than themselves.

Another thing...there is so much unnecessary exposition in this film. The director narrates everything, sometimes for no reason. Like, you see the supreme court justices voting on the case, and then the director narrates it by saying, and that's how they voted. I KNOW, MAN....I'm watching the movie, so I saw them do it, and this happens constantly, and I felt like I was being talked down to, like I was too dumb to understand the details of the scene. Let the scene flow organically. Tell the story, but don't go overboard.

And this is the last thing that I have to say, but probably most important. Any film on Roe v Wade or abortion AT ALL should only be written and directed by a female, NOT a conservative male. That is the last thing a story like this needs, and that’s exactly what we have in Roe v Wade. Even though I was born and spent half my life as a pro-lifer…I changed once I stopped thinking about myself – and I’ve come a long way...but no matter how far I go from now until the day I die, I will never be able to understand this topic as much as a woman would. Which is why a man should never direct a movie on abortion. No matter your political stance on it.

So, yeah.. I tried to be as professional and technical as possible, but guys...people watch film with bias. You can’t get away from it, and in this case, bias effects you more than anything else.

Stay away

Samantha Bee is so much sharper than anyone else in late night. Gloriously biased towards facts and common sense.

One of my go to shows for political satire. Samantha Bee always delivers her commentary with teeth. I love that about her! Her correspondent staff is also insanely strong. It's a shame her show doesn't allow enough time to bring them on regularly. One of my mandatory watch shows.

Ps- For non-cable types, they post comprehensive episode clips on youtube.

Enjoyed every episode,can't wait for season 2 and hope there will be more than seven episodes.

I really really loved the first episode. It was well directed and the character developing well done, not the usual bad takes we've seen in a lot of shows. I hope they keep them as good as EP.1 .
