Oh hey, it's February the 2nd, let's re-watch this for the umpteenth time. :D
“I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes my rhyme.
I hate the way you’re always right, I hate it when you lie,
I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you’re not around and the fact that you didn’t call
but mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.“
That episode was LIT. Literally...

"The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you."
Didn't really think about it until this re-watch... Dumbledore pretty much set Malfoy up to be Potter's enemy at the end by yanking the house cup away from Slytherin, no?
"Slytherin is in first place by a whole bunch, but here, let me give Gryffindor exactly enough points to bring them from last to first."
Bit of a dick move.
The friend zone has been taken to a whole new mechanical level.
i think of it like this: if youre going to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it.
The only film in the series where Voldemort does not appear in some form.
What a terrific cast, makes me miss Heath Ledger every time I see it.
Even my 6-year-old son watches it in complete silence.. There are no words to describe it.
Saw Molly’s Game today and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great dialogue and wonderfully acted. This is Aaron Sorkins directorial debut, and while it was perfect from that aspect it is a great first outing. The movie is long but it’s well paced so it doesn’t feel like it drags, it feels like it needed those 140 minutes to tell the entire story. The scene between Chastain and Costner at the end is definitely one of the best I’ve seen in 2017. I give it this movie 4 out of 5. Go see it if you have a chance.
Magnolia was absolutely perfect. The sheer scope and ambition alone is amazing, but the fact that it all comes together, that PTA managed to pull it all off, is incredible. This huge mosaic of intertwined stories, of individually fantastic performances and moments that weave together to create this audacious tapestry of a movie. The flawless opening sets the stage and introduces the many seemingly disparate characters, all played by an unparalleled ensemble cast, but as the movie gets underway, connections and similarities emerge as the storylines begin to entangle. Listing all the things that make the film the masterpiece that it is would just mean listing everything that makes a movie. Magnolia is beautiful, it's perfect, it's the second best movie I've ever seen and I love everything about it.
8.8/10. An incredible, life-affirming movie that has enough of a dark heart to earn the amazingly heart-warming sequence at the film's climax. Some of the angel stuff gets a little silly at points, but it's still just a stellar look at the advantages and pitfalls of the road not traveled, what doing and being good takes from you, and the invisible but strong connections within a community that form when a noble man takes the world on his shoulders when he has to. Stewart gives the performance of a lifetime, selling the nobility but vulnerability of George Bailey with perfection, the highs and lows and joys and anger and despondency and glee of the character with unparalleled commitment, charm, and pathos. This one's a classic for a reason.
They'll just build a new one... and make the White Walkers pay for it.
IF YOU THROW ANOTHER MOON AT ME I’M GONNA LOSE IT
Oh hi trakt
After 6 seasons of meticulous setups and character developments, the series finale of The Americans ends, appropriately enough, on a quiet note.
The episode has very minimal dialog. Each word is carefully consumed. The rest is driven by imageries, powerful performances from 4 leads (Philip, Elizabeth, Stan, and Paige), and effective selection of music from Dire Straits, U2, Tchaikovsky, and the series composer Nathan Barr.
Three amazing scenes.
The garage: The exchange between Stan, Philip, Elizabeth, and Paige is more suspenseful than all the heists, chases, and kills in the entire series, driven solely by performances.
The train: Totally unexpected and perhaps the most dramatic and heartbreaking scene in the entire series.
The car ride home: The border crossing, Elizabeth finally sleeping in peace lovingly leaning against Philip. They lived in a sea of lies. But their marriage was as real as any. The only thing they can trust as 100% authentic. Absolutely beautiful.
These three scenes are expertly interconnected with fantastic ensemble and writings.
The series finale will stick in my mind for years to come.
To call this another Marvel winner would be an understatement.
Volume 2 is the best cinematic experience I've had in a long time. The action is great, the various cameos hilarious, the effects awe-inspiring and the laughs frequent and well-placed (one of the few gripes I had with Doctor Strange). And in the midst of all this, what really drives the story and keeps the audience interested is the character development. The heroes with which we fell in love in Volume 1 become deeper and multilayered, and the new additions add fantastic new dynamics.
While still falling victim to some minor storytelling tropes, GotG2 is the epitome of the spectacle movie.
"It's just a flying saucer, Ed. We gotta go." lol, Peggy kills me.
You know it's bad when you can't switch off your brain to enjoy the mindless fun because your intelligence is being insulted at every turn.
Mind blown. Everyone needs to watch this. I definitely want a season 2 after that ending.
"I wish you were dead"
"So do I"
That fucking hit me hard in the feels...
The movie that propably had the most impact on my life.
I was little over 10 at the time I saw it first. My dad brought it home on VHS. From the first second my eyes were glued to the screen. Immediately after it was over I rewound the tape and watched it again which up to today, close to 35 later, I haven´t done with any other movie. I recorded it on audio tape so I could listen to it, even wrote down the whole thing on paper (that was well before the internet, folks). We re-ennacted the scenes, I had memorized every line. I cannot recall how many times I`ve seen it since then.
I would give it 11 if possible.
Random person: "Do you always get teary eyed on Snapes death scene ?"
Me: "Always..."
So i just finished this and wow, two words: Timothee Chalamet! He was brilliant as Elio and i wouldn't be suprised if he went up for the Oscars this year, totally deserved! Timmy's and Armie's chemistry is electrifying, without saying sometimes nothing at all, i swear i felt like i wasn't watching a movie, i was sucked right in. Oh and Mr. Perlman's speech at the end, oh and that ending! Take all the awards! This film has my heart already.
I am absolutely fascinated by Serena's story arc this season. Yvonne Strahovski is a phenomenal actress. Serena's longing when she was in the car looking out the window, all the little moments when you could see something change in her eyes... She did it beautifully. To be honest I have a hard time remembering that Serena is supposed to be the villain of this story, one of the people most responsible for June's misery. Especially after last week's episode. I'm torn. On the one hand, she is in a pretty awful situation herself, on the other, she helped make it happen. She knew what she was signing up for (maybe not the wife-beating part, but the rest of it). She held a woman down every month while her husband raped her. She's been straight-up cruel to June on multiple occasions. And yet I can't hate her.
Great episode overall. The letters getting out and Waterford's plan failing was very satisfying to watch.
This show had more character development AND plot in its eight short episodes than lesser shows have in a 22 times 60 minutes season.
