I miss the days of subtle political messaging. lazy writing
Yes the end is definately unsatisfying and didnt live up to the built up hype but no matter what anyone says, this is one of the best series ever made. One of the best
As someone who's been a major fan of many TV shows for years and years, and someone who only got into Lost a few months ago: Lost is the greatest thing to ever have been televised. Seriously. Nothing has ever been so immersive, atmospheric and ambitious as this show. It had me gripped from start to finish, and I was genuinely satisfied by the ending (it's incredibly misunderstood). There has never been a TV series as big as Lost, and there may never be again.
Ignore the INSANE bad reviews on this and see it! It's great! Such a great time! Honestly shocked by the bad reviews. I mean 32% on RT?! No way. Loved!
After five seasons, I'm still struggling to recall a single bridge crew member's name. This portrayal doesn't quite capture the essence of what "Trek" means to me. It feels more aligned with the rapid pace demanded by today's short attention spans, reminiscent of the JJ Abrams universe. This stands in stark contrast to the rich narratives and character development of classics like Next Gen and DS9. There's a notable absence of thought-provoking storylines akin to "In The Pale Moonlight." Instead, it seems geared towards mindless entertainment, earning a solid 8/10 for action-packed television but falling short with a mere 3/10 as a representative Trek episode.
I just can't get past the insanely monotone and babbling narration of this show. Zero effort was made to make him sound even remotely presentable. He stumbles over his words, babbles, provides lots of "um" and "uh" and is quite possibly the most boring speaker ever to grace a documentary. Has he not heard of post-production and cleaning up the narrative to be something of interest for anyone over the age of about twelve?
The content is somewhat interesting but random. As you watch the show you can see that it's basically all confirmation bias - there are lots of totally random videos of random things that are then narrated as though they are intentionally filmed for the sake of the topic when in reality they are all just totally random videos this guy took while walking around NYC that get thrown into the narrative as being a way to demonstrate his extremely scattered thought process.
Personally I don't understand how this show is rated so well except that the topics, themselves, are unique and quirky, the delivery is so horrible that it's like watching the most boring PBS special being narrated by someone who has a 5th grade grasp on the English language.
Take the topics and even the random video and have it narrated by someone who can actually present intelligibly and this show would be more interesting.
Information may have been interesting or amusing, but impossible to listen to this person's delivery.
Steven Spielberg’s World War II epic 1941 is a piece of junk that’s ridiculously stupid. An all-star cast has been assembled, and includes Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Christopher Lee, John Candy, Slim Pickens, and Ned Beatty, which only adds to the tragedy of the film. The story follows a paranoid California coast that’s awaiting a Japanese invasion in the days following the Pearl Harbor attack in December of 1941. The satire, and the comedy all around, is done in poor taste and has no real poignancy to it. The plot is a jumbled mess at best, and few of the characters are likable. Failing on nearly every level, 1941 is an epically disappointing film that misses the mark by a mile.
Undoubtedly a treasure in its time, and though still a curiosity, it is little more than an outdated snooze fest now.
I don't consider "good for its time" argument valid, but even with that in mind, this movie is a bad one.
Whoever wrote the script does not understand how math, science and universe in general fundamentally work which results in cringy moments. There are always assumptions in SciFi, but you have to make them consistent with reality or you should have explicitly made it clear that movie universe is purely fictional. I don't recommend watching this film if you graduated equivalent of European high school some time after Enlightenment.
And of course it is super long and boring, with constant multiple shots of the same thing, which are overly long by themselves and often are not needed for the plot.
I'm sure this was a great movie back in the day, but today? Not so much.
A little terrifying how closely this resembles the mindless stupor and bewilderment i feel when watching nightly news.
"Those are the headlines. Happy now?"
Four Lions has caused me to go on a Chris Morris binge and so THIS is where it all begun huh.
The British comedy scene in the 90's and 2000's might actually be one of the most inspiring ever. There's just so much of it, and so much collaboration with one another too. And then you have the different groups with their own styles ensuring us that they have any type of popcorn fun covered.
Comedy is one of the best British traits.
Scary and uncomfortably amazing how this show is still bang on today, perhaps even moreso than back then. Love love love it.
After watching all of them now, I can only say I'm disappointed. They've done the classic sitcom mistake of taking the character out of the situation we know and love him in and put him in another, which just doesn't provide the same kind of surreal, absurd, comedic situations of Toast of London.
Much better than last week's, thankfully (maybe due to the lack of Adira and Gray...). This one still suffered from some ropy dialogue in places but it kept getting better as the episode went one. The highlights for me were Wilson Cruz's scenes as we saw Dr Culber dealing with survivor's guilt; I just wish they'd paired him up with a less irritating actor than Anthony Rapp, who always looks constipated.
6.7/10. I mostly watched this one because seeing "Miri" from Star Trek made me realize there were a number of references between the two episodes. And while it's fun to better get what South Park was referencing, "TWMA" is still not an especially great episode. There's not much of a point to it, beyond maybe the idea that there should be more scrutiny of molestation accusations, but mostly that part of the episode feels like an excuse to tell a story about the kids running the town. How quickly things devolve into anarchy, internecine conflicts, and sci-fi tropes is amusing enough, but the proceedings still lack some of that trademark South Park spark and wit.
Oddly enough, the funniest part of the episode is the parents receiving therapy in prison. The "let's come up with activities you could do instead of abusing your kids" is particularly funny, finding an intersection between the horrible and the droll in a way the show excels at. Otherwise, there's some juice in the episode's twisted, town-wide take on Home Alone, where the boys wish to be free of their parents and then realize they miss and need them, but amid the tropes and references, there's not as many laughs or as much cleverness as there could be. It's by no means a bad episode, but just not representative of the show at its best.
That was surely one of the Star Trekkiest episodes that ever Star Trekked. I could easily picture this being a TNG story. Hard hitting, tough, highly watchable. Pike's hair continues to impress.
Ending really pissed me off lol .it wasnt satisfying but i get it .Tbh i want all of that shitty as teenagers and their familiy dead lol
Oh good. The incoherent disabled one is on again. I literally have no idea what she's saying.
