Undoubtedly one of the best episodes in the history of The Walking Dead.
120 minutes of jokes, pop culture references and free violence. This could be 120 minutes Deadpool standup.
It was Glenn on the radio?

The movie has a Disney vibe, at least for me. The only thing missing is speaking dinosaurs, but the sparkly eyes, pompous fairy-tale like music and drama are there. Personally, I expected more from it, some parts were just rushed over and it finished too abruptly. I guess kids will appreciate this much more than I did.
So is this season all going to be a flashback? This is gonna get real.
I haven't had such fun since Guardians of the Galaxy! Providing non-stop wit, gorgeous cinematography, and an absolutely stellar cast, Ant-Man is another victory for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
What was up with that clone threesome?
Definitely an interesting production. It feels like I am watching a noir film, but in a modern setting. Timeless story and personalities. Self-described addict to movies, which we see glimpses of from time to time, as if to show he imagines his life to be like one, with Bogart. The protagonist is a bit like a relict from the past. Lone gentleman in a suit, driving a vintage car, caring for the vulnerable, dealing with his own demons, longing for a mysterious woman, and who can see right through your deceit. Obvious allusions to the Golden age of Hollywood, but I also sense some inspiration by the French new-wave (inspired by the former). It also simply looks beautiful. I eagerly await new episodes.

the sequence with sally and the shadow guy had me shitting my pants. what tf is happening bro
For all international viewers, the movie is based on a Romanian fairytale (“Capra cu Trei Iezi” written by Ion Creangă) and follows the original story quite closely.
It’s another superb performance from Maia Morgenstern with her unique way of transmitting emotions, while Marius Bodochi plays the role of the bad guy in a horror movie superbly - he really is scary.
I really want to love this show, it has a lot of potential, but something just feels off.
The whole John storyline just feels very dull and generic, and Dream himself is kinda boring. I kinda liked what they were doing with the fight/challenge in Hell, but if we're being honest, it was kinda dumb. Why would Lucifer even start by saying "I am a direwolf" if she could have just said she was one of the better things right away? After that challenge happens once, it would never have to happen again because they'd very quickly find what can't be beaten. The little pep talk the raven gave Dream took me right out of the scene too - really not liking the voice actor at all.
Last thing I wanna say is that I feel that the show is constantly trying to have these sort of 'epic' moments. They have nice visuals and great music to create these moments. But the problem is, these moments haven't been earned. They fail to actually be epic or memorable because none of the characters are overly strong and we haven't had much reason to like any of them. The only character I've seen anyone really caring about was the female Constantine last episode - but it doesn't seem like she's going to be a big part of the show other than that one episode.
The show isn't bad, it's entertaining and an alright watch. But certain things in the writing are just preventing it from going from okay to good/great. Not sure if that's just because of the source material, or if it's because Netflix messed something up.
I watched a fantastic video that focused more on the murderer Chris Watts’ abysmal turn in the interrogation. It focuses a lot less on Shanann (which is a good thing because the documentary throwing mean comments towards her did nothing for the story). Check out JCS Criminal Psychology Chris Watts for a better analysis if you are interested in the case.
just how weirdly charismatic and charming is that adrien brody wow
All Monty's dad cared was that it was done to a boy, not that he committed a crime, like being gay was the biggest shame. No wonder Monty was so repressed. Monty was a product of his upbringing. He didn't deserve to die, and have a crime he didn't commit pinned on him
After this episode I'm absolutely sure this season would've been 100% better if Bryce had been the narrator. It would even make more sense to suddenly see a nicer and regretful side of him if he was narrating it himself because narrators can be quite biased and unreliable.
It still feels weird to me that he suddenly out of nowhere seems to regret his actions and tries to get better when he got hard in the last season just thinking about raping Hannah and gave no fucks whatsoever during the trial, but there were definitely ways to make it better and more plausible than adding some perfect Marie Sue who makes Bryce "feel things he never felt before" and having him do a 180 without any real explanation except sudden regret.
okay but why the hell was alex spending so much time with bryce??? he hated him
ngl, i was just waiting for him to get shot
Wow, wtf he looked like another person after the Fab5's visit. Goddamn
The way he had a hard time saying "I deserve today" made me tear up a bit :c
And I'm speechless about the transformation. They didn't even change much - He still had a really similar hair and clothing style, but something about these small changes made him look so much younger and better. And he even smiled more which made me happy because he definitely doesn't have a goofy smile :')
Michael Langdon's entrance was phenomenal! Can't wait to learn more of him. Also, really digging this new Sarah Paulson character as a vilain instead of her usual crying and screaming. Let's see what's next episode is like... can't wait. Also, also. I am so giddy to see the opening credits with elements from Coven and Murder House, always loved how different it is every season, i hope this season lived up to what those 2 season gave!
fun movie. the concept has been done before, to a point -- yet, the material felt fresh. I was a big fan of the camera movements when "activated"
By now Im pretty sure that Celeste's kids are the ones hurting Amabella.
And I'm still hoping with all my heart that Perry is the one that died, even though I am still pretty sure that it won't happen.
What a weird and beautifully shot episode. It wouldn't be a Bryan Fuller show without buckets of blood. I'm intrigued to see what comes next.
I love the fact that they're making this like it's a comic-book that came to life. From the get go you're confronted with that hightened reality (esp. that Spartacus-like buckets of blood) and over the top action, and the generally comical interactions. Because toning it down or grounding it in reality would do it more harm than good.
I think most people would know from just this episode how much they're gonna love/like/hate the show, it encompasses everything that is American Gods : Dreamy, comical, weird, dark, and super weird. You'll go "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" more times than you can count in this story.
I just can't fucking wait for people's reaction on the Salim and the Jinn story in ep. 3
So i just got back from a special screening of the first episode and I can assure you this show is definitely going to be great. As a fan of both Fuller and the book, Gaiman being one of my favorite authors of all time and Hannibal, well, one of my favorite show of all time, everything I expected to see on screen was delivered here. The classyness of Fuller's aesthetic (that was already there in Hannibal) mixed with even more gore and blood serves Gaiman's work perfectly, if you've watched any of Fuller's previous work then you know that his way of telling stories lies deeply on the psychology of his characters and for an adaptation of American Gods you could not hope for someone better. This really is a perfect match and a fan of American Gods (the book) cannot possibly be disappointed in what he's going to find in this first episode. Oh and yeah, THAT scene with Bilquis is there, and.......well yeah, you have to see it. Don't hesitate for a second and watch the show as soon as it airs, Gaiman and Fuller are both geniuses and this series is sure to be incredible.
They paint the world full of shadows... and then tell their children to stay close to the light. Their light. Their reasons, their judgments. Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. We can prove that it isn't true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it. And who has been so close to doing it as we are right now?
