I can't believe Otis had the audacity of calling Eric selfish... Dude, it was his birthday, you were supposed to be celebrating it with him
General Amaya's Sign language during the grave scene:
Hello Sister.
You were my heroine.
Perfect, strong, unwavering.
Kind and true.
I'm sorry, big sister.
I have failed.
I had your boys safely with me, but let them slip away.
When leaving Gren:
I trust you.
You were my voice.
Be my will and save the boys.

Came for the nostalgia, what I got was the pin-up for rape culture. This movie's sole purpose is to objectify women at any chance it gets. There are a few chuckles through out, but they are FEW! Oh and let's not forget to throw a bit of homophobia in there too for good measure.
Great episode but that asexual joke was really unnecessary.
I saw the 2016 reboot yesterday and decided it was time to return to the original. Many people have slated the new film - it cant' match the original - it can't work with women - blah blah blah - etc. Guess what, the 1984 movie is not perfect. Its very much of its time, the special effects are variable, it isn't as funny as you remember. Return to the film and you might agree - we remember the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, the demon dogs, the library ghost - all with affection. But it is rose-tinted and not as good as remembered. For its time though, it is a good film, but it does not warrant the classic status that the 2016 Ghostbuster haters are making it out to be. There is room in the world for both movies and for the record... I kinda prefer the new film.
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.
I was spoiled for it a long time ago, but that didn't make that ending any less satisfying. Bwahhahaha.
The movie is very visually stunning. The story telling, however, not so much. It seems to be at a loss of how to give the background information - there are memory recollections, lines about the past, and just plain old scene jumps. They threw all of the background information together with a weak plot; it ended up being a jumbled mess.
I appreciated that the movie was trying to build on the original story, however, I really don't feel as if there was anything original in this adaptation.
what can I say, I enjoy it when Jim gets what’s coming to him.
★★★★★☆☆
I swear I would watch this show until their future generations are in the year 3000, I am so invested.
Love the journey. The set. The wardrobe. The acting. The laughs. The absolutely heartbreak. I love it all.
these last two episodes, especially this one, are just :ok_hand_tone2: :sparkles:chef’s kiss:sparkles: perfect.

Winona's character completely ruins this for me.
This movie was desperately seeking an Oscar. It has everything so beautiful that it feels fake. The music is great and the story is good too but what happened to all the social disturbs that were happening and that Motown just avoided? If they had included that part this movie would have been amazing. Jennifer Hudson is an amazing singer and actress, she deserved the Oscar she won.
I am a big fan of Park, but I wish I liked this film more. I probably would have edited it down quite a bit. I enjoyed the visual style that was portrayed early on during his investigation (sort of a Hannibal/Will Graham feel) but that went away sadly. I think there is absolutely fantastic acting and the film is truly great at parts but a bit too meandering for me ultimately. It felt like it was going to be over a few times before it finally was. I would recommend it, but somewhat cautiously.
I voted this a 7 because a 7.5 isn't allowed. I'd maybe give this an 8 sometimes. It's uneven but the sum of its parts is good.
Amazing acting, great action scenes, good movie, but I didn't like the protagonist, he was no antihero, only a villain. This movie was fun to watch but definitely not a masterpiece despite it being a classic in the film industry. I found the character Tony Montana to be a complete idiot, yes, he has courage but his decisions make no sense. I know this movie isn't trying to be realistic but an idiot like Tony Montana would never get as up in the world in real life. He has none of the characteristics that make a great leader except for scaring the hell out of everyone around him. In the end I can only give this a 7/10.
Pffft...mother-in-laws...am I right?!
Callum’s a lil b and a low budget Isuldur.
Dope ref though, they know what they’re doing.
FFS, now I have to go to the store and buy some damn Stroopwafels.
Oh wow, I was eating a stroopwafel while watching this! (ok, more than one)
Joe Lo Truglio did so damn good at that interrogation scene, I couldn’t stop laughing.
Wait and why didn’t Jake and Amy asked for Jake’s mom’s help?? Also I feel like Amy would never go looking like that to a presentation, she would have like two emergency pantsuits in her locker and she could’ve put her hair in a bun, that was so NOT Amy.
Charles is... bad vibes. Telling another parent he’s better at parenting their kid???? Disgusting.
And I hate Amy was reduced to her mom role this episode, cause Jake was out there parent trapping being Jake but Amy had to stay being the parent, I hate when shows do that.
And I like the new dynamic duo! Rosa and Scully!! But where’s Hitchcock???
I admit I was a little floored when I saw the subjects touched as I didn't expect them to be dealt with in 99, but as it was getting on I really appreciated the way it was done: delicately and with the show's usual humour, in this case even in dealing with these serious stuff.
There are different ways of facing society's problems, and talking about them even in a lighter way (as for a comedy, rather than a drama) is always a nice start.
I love how for some there are certain topics so touchy that just have to be ignored or that make anyone who talks about them "woke". Some of you Americans are weird
Really disappointed that they would have a gender reveal party. I think that's a part of american trend/culture that should be quickly forgotten.
And with this, Paddy Considine won a Emmy. Another 10/10 episode, and keeps getting better. I cant believe it ends in 2 weeks.
hi i have a question is this a joke
is it even a phoebe waller-bridge show without a hot priest?
