ripley is an absolutely stunning piece of cinematography. also puzzling how some are bothered by the fact that its not in color, and using it as the sole reason to shit on it. the light, always the light.
Will be really interesting to see how this is gonna be received here in the west. It's a weird one. Couldn't help myself to actually feel disappointed after the credits rolled, and a lot of people in the audience felt the same way. It's super vague, the story jumps constantly, new ideas and (seemingly) new plotlines are constantly opened but never resolved. It's confusing. And because of this, I just never really cared about any of the characters. Which is something that usually never happens to me in a Ghibli film...no emotional attachement whatsoever. After sleeping over it and reading some reviews and interepretations from Japan, I can accept and respect the film much more now. It's a supposedly final goodbye from Miyazaki, a potpourrie of his ideas and visions, a micro-history of Ghibli itself. It's fine. But it's not for me and probably a lot of other people. But that's okay.
Creepy creepy creepy. The tension in this show is absolutely perfect, the acting is first rate, the soundtrack music is atmospheric and the camera work is spot on.... show of the year so far!
Might be my fav episode of the season so far. Full of hope and redemption.
The hesitancy of Jeff while giving his number to Claire got me curious. He was leaving his number to the fridge guy at the beginning of this episode as 773-555-0901. He told Claire as 0902. A sad tiny detail.
This is a masterclass in how to portray subjectivity. I was absolutely immersed in this character and could feel the amazement, horror, and divided feelings that he was going through. The directing was phenomenal and deserves much praise.
This movie is legendary. someday it'll become a classic. I don't know why someone is complaing about why they didn't get to explore more of Oppenheimer's character, or what he was. I think that person needs to rewatch this movie. Scene are not snippets, It is complete and well integrated. Yes, they covered a lot ground. Could it have been a miniseries? of course! but saying that this movie fails to integrate different aspect, is completely false. Even character whom had small screen time, did perfect. I think everyone needs to hit theatre, so Hollywood makes more fucking movie like this. which delves deep in character and dark part of human chatacter. Not everything is Pink and happy. I think, you must watch it in theatre decide for yourself. I think I have spent all my penny well. Thank you Nolan.
It felt rushed. They wrapped things up in 15 minutes and the rest was a flash forward to a Sally play and a spoof movie? No.
It felt like something was missing, I would've loved if they could've added at least two more episodes to explore all these events, the season was full of time skips which I despise in any show and the whole show felt rushed, somewhat sad for a show this great to end this way imo

For any non-french speakers out there: at the very beginning of the episode, when The Boys are all back together in the new office, at some point Frenchie calls Butcher "Mr. Charcutier".
The joke being that in French, a "butcher" is called a "charcutier".
‘But it is not about me. I can’t lash out like some raging, entitled maniac. That’s a white man’s luxury’ - Stan Edgar -
As Butcher would say, “Fuckin Diabolical!”
Even Homelander was clueless when everyone started exploding haha
"This is my boyfriend Hughie and this is his boyfriend Butcher" - Starlight at some point probably
One of my favourite heroes of the series so far. He needed the most help and he had one of the biggest transformations.
Ladies and gentlemen, Kieran Culkin, the 2023 Emmy winner.
The haircut scene reminded me of an episode of Brazil's version of What Not To Wear (Esquadrão da Moda) where the hair stylist, with the best of his intentions, cut the participant's hair more than she wanted and she hated it, what really shook her up and destabilized her. The important thing is to make the person feel comfortable in a good space, a comfortable space, and that's exactly what Jesus-look-alike did for Terri. Then, months later, she opened up to it and I loved that she accepted her own hair and, yes, it is beautiful. Self-confidence, self-love is everything in a person's life. And that's why I love Queer Eye. :hearts: It inspires me so much!
PS: I really wanted them to return to the lives of the participants, even if only a few months later, as happened in this episode.
I hope Speedy's life will be happy and amazing from now on. Beautiful soul :heart:
Incredibly hard to watch, at least if you have a past in any way similar to hers.
I didn’t even need to reach the end of this episode to be fully committed to her destroying them all.
This drama delivers exactly what it promises in the summary and does it very well. It's not mind-blowing, but it's a huge relief that the show doesn't try to bite off more than it can chew.
The plot progression is straightforward, the pacing/suspense is on point, the MCs are very good, the secondary characters put up a good showing as well. If you don't mind the amount of time the shows spends on pretty heavy/depressing talks with criminals, it's an easy recommendation in procedural shows.
One of the best procedural drama in a long time. Good focus and storyline on the cases with minimal "drama", so much so that the crime dramas that I watched after that did irritate me with all the crazy coincidences and dramatic plot that I had to remind myself that they cannot be compared to what we have in Through the Darkness, which is so real in its depiction of evil in the serial killers they portray.
This was an absolutely thrilling and horrifyingly fun episode. As a fan of politics, this episode is absolutely fascinating, a realistic imitation of election night, with a more nihilistic and corrupt vision of our current political and mainstream media system. There will be a lot to unpack from both the political and the personal angles. There's a lot here for everyone to enjoy--or fear, depending on your political persuasion.
Kudos to Kieran Culkin for making Roman so despicable and endlessly punchable in this episode.
the sequence with sally and the shadow guy had me shitting my pants. what tf is happening bro
That silent reveal cut (which then goes on so long!) with Sally is such a legit terrifying horror moment.
Brutal and tough to watch... Whether you believe or not doesn't matter...there is no denying that Jesus Christ was the fuckin mannn...he took an ass whoopin for what he believed in... coulda rolled over and died like a punk, and just gave up but they tortured his ass to death and he not only didn't give in, he forgave too? He's a stronger man than I...I woulda asked my father to rain down hellfire and brimstone and that sequel would be 'hot' as hell bahahaha
