The lightsaber duels makes this one good. The writing should have been better than the Jedis knowing nothing of the Anakin and Padme relationship. I mean they did kiss in front of the Jedis during the arena scene in Episode 2.
While Anakin said to Obi-Wan a couple of times how he wanted Padme bad. Anakin turning to the darkside because he believed only that can save Padme. That the Jedis were the bad guys. I didn't 100% buy either.
Since how can he think something called the darkside is good ? The same way the Nazis or terrorists think they are the good guys I guess.
Ewan McGregor isn't bad at all but he was a choice for worse actor of 2005 at imdb that year. He was far better than Hayden. He gave it his all as Obi-Wan and has even been called miscast.
Ian McDiarmid however steals the show when he finally reveals to the Jedis that he is a Sith Lord.
I also like how Palpatine turned on Count Dooku in favor of wanting a new apprentice, Anakin. Since if you think of it; he did the same with Luke and Vader in Return of the Jedi.
He wanted Luke to kill his father and join him. It shows how little his apprentices mean to him since he easily trades them in when he finds someone more powerful.
Wouldn’t it be easier and safer to put the robots (replicas) on the space mission? Like duh? They do not need life support system, food, and physical activity. Would it be nicer if they actual humans stayed in their homes and spend their time with family?
Somehow, the pilot of story twisted to make us watch 80 minutes episode, almost as long as a movie. Just to tell us that we need to take care of our family and loved ones! The only explanation for this movie plot is that the astronauts were already in a long distance space mission and later on, they have decided to make the replicas for their families.
It is not a two-dimensional storyline...
"Why do you have three mirrors? Why don't you just turn your head?"
"It's because her face is so wide - she needs three mirrors."
Complete anti Mormon bashing propaganda garbage.
Wait a second...was this show about some of us on Trakt!? Keep rating, Homer!!
wow. this episode made me feel a little depressed. We are indeed just a spec of dust in this universe. Everything doesn't matter.
I went into this movie expecting a strange experience, and I was certainly not disappointed. The Truman Show explores one of the most interesting premises ever conceived: what if someone's entire life was a simulation made for TV? It's so bizarre but done in such a grounded way that it really makes you feel for Truman, and by the end of the movie I was uncomfortable for both him and myself. It's almost a horror film in how it fills you with a strange sense of paranoia. Excellent idea, excellent execution, and deep enough to keep you thinking for a long time afterwards.
Better than most superhero shows.
Like Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Antman,
it perfectly walks the line between comedy and comic superhero.
Can't believe Amazon has passed on season 3, really hope they can find a new home for it.
Amazing. Wow. That ending. Speechless.
Roberta Williams is my heroine. I wish this had dived more into the early Sierra (and LucasArts!) adventure games of the 1980s.
If what Chidi said to Eleanor didn't make you cry, what is wrong with you?
Cute final scene, meh episode
This episode gave me such happy teary moments about halfway through to the end. The actual sweetness of this show (w/o being schmaltzy) is so tremendous. I absolutely loved it. Can't wait for it to continue in January but I so don't want it to be over.
The Good Place + Black Mirror = Enjoying too much!
Spin-off confirmed: The Best Place. Rumours of Stan Lee and David Bowie for the main roles.
It was a good episode.Even if they kind of telegraphed what was going to happen. Once I knew Aquadude was in the flashback I figured out what was likely to be his fate. It did take a few minutes before I realized he was Jason from PLL.
What I didn't like was the pace. Especially near the middle. I've also grown to really dislike when a show does something exciting then switches tracks the very next episode to something else, making the viewers wait another week to get back to what they really want to see. It's a cheap trick that to many shows use.
Liked the episode, too bad about what happened with Aqualad. Would've liked to see more of him
Nice twist at the end with the father not realizing Beanie stole the coins before he changed his mind about the taxes.
"You know how sometimes you do the worst thing in the world to the person you love most in the world because you had no choice but she was the one who left you no choice, and then you think it's all over and you try to move on, but then she shows up in your dreams and it's like AHHHH" -Bean
She is like Fry AND Leela.
I know it's very difficult to pass a book to a movie but they're to be congratulated. I can not lie by saying that there was no shortage of things but everything that was really "important" was spent very well for the movie. Note: Only thing I missed was the blanket with blood.
Lots of chemistry among the actors, particularly, I loved.
I feel like Laura may be the new Argus. This can't be her last appearance in the show and I can't think of anything she could sacrifice in order to leave the place. The only explanation I can think of is that she'll have no choice but to stay there and find something to do and eventually, be able to use Argus's surveillance to further help Shadow.
[9.0/10] I don’t know how Rick and Morty keeps doing it, but somehow the show continually finds new ways to combine insane sci-fi weirdness with deep and meaningful character introspection, and I can’t get enough of it.
At the same time the show crafts and adventure where Rick and Jerry turn a visit to a resort and theme park into a snowballing bout of murder attempts and changing alliances, the show also explores both the strain Rick placed on Beth and Jerry’s marriage, and Jerry’s own unassumingly weasely ethos.
The former comes in the form of an inventive resort setting with an “immortality field.” Maybe I’m just not deep enough into sci-fi, but I love the concept as a setting that not only makes for a natural place Rick would take Jerry (at Morty’s behest, naturally) but creates an interesting conundrum for the plotters trying to take out Rick. (Plus it creates one dark as hell joke from two little kids playing together.) The show certainly has its fun with the concepts, and setting a murder attempt there on a roller coaster that dips just outside the field is superb.
The great escape part is fun too. Everything from another alien forest full of crazy creatures, to a cruise line that makes dangerous people dumber rather than preventing them from boarding is inventive as all get out. Plus, the “time-preserver” sequence is the sort of Lynchian madness we haven’t seen much of from the show, but which featured some insanely creative sequences as well.
And in the midst of all this, there’s a great exploration both of who Jerry is, how Rick sees him, and what Rick’s done to his life. The high point of that is Rick’s speech to Jerry that his son-in-law plays it off like he’s prey but that he’s really a predator, attaching himself to people and bringing him down. It makes sense that Rick would see him that way, and it’s revealing of Rick that as much as he pretends his reasons for busting on Jerry are because he gets in the way, there’s a part of him that does it to defend his daughter, whose life he thinks Jerry ruined. Rick caring about things always manifests in weird ways, but that what makes him interesting as a character.
Hell, I like Jerry, and there’s something about a guy whose only crime is being “unremarkable” being treated so shabbily by pretty much everyone that feels wrong. But he’s also not a great guy himself -- a small, petty man as Principal Skinner might say. Still, his indecision about whether to let Rick die, coupled with his feelings about Rick squeezing him out and hurting his marriage, make for very rich, complex material in a pairing we don’t get all that often.
The B-story is not nearly as deep, but pretty darn great too. It has its own spate of weirdness, with Summer trying to make her breasts larger with one of Rick’s transforming rays and ending up gigantic and, thanks to Beth’s assistance, also inside out. That, coupled with the “tech support” guys being three little dudes who live in the machine and trick her into letting them out, makes the science fiction-y and comedy sides of the story spectacular. (The same goes for Beth’s bizarre “hoof collage”)
But there’s also some good character stuff there too. I’m kind of loving the direction the show’s taking Morty this season. He’s showing his own dark side (see how he treats Ethan), and he’s become the character on the show with the most perspective, being able to identify how his mom is acting like her father in her refusal to ask for help and arrogance in her belief that she can just solve the problem without engaging emotionally. Beth turning herself gigantic and inside out to comfort Summer about her body issues is a bizarre but hilarious way to resolve the story to boot.
Overall, another stellar outing from Rick and Morty that makes me lament we only get five more weeks (maybe?) of this awesome show.
I adore this show. It might be the most wildly imaginative series I’ve ever watched.
But am I the only one feeling zero chemistry between Chidi and Eleanor?
Extremely disappointing. If you want a show that preaches non-stop on extreme left wing politics this is it. Constant reference to Satan was extremely uncomfortable when watching with your whole family.
By the end of the season, Sabrina had annoyed the living shit out of me.
I'm all for women empowerment, but damn, must feminism be incorporated in almost every tv show nowadays? I get enough of it from the real world.
There's nothing but subtle low blows through out the season.
"Why can't we live a normal life with the mortals? Because Dark Lord is a jealous man."
Why doesn't the Dark Lord want us as powerful as him? Well, after all, he is a man."
Is it just me, or does Sabrina and Harvey love seem way over the top for teenagers? Their love was on the same level of Jack and Rose from Titanic. I was secretly hoping the Dark Lord or Prudence sisters' would kill her boyfriend off, so the show could move on.
Also, what time period is the show in? 1950's? 1960's? 1980's? 2017? I initially thought 1960's because of the signs and cars, but then Ambrose pulls out a laptop and laptops wasn't invented until 1981. So, I thought mid-to-late 1980's, then I see an iPhone X ringing in one scene.
