As much as I love looking at Cristina and Linda, I love watching them even more...true masters of their craft. It may be the small screen, but these are big performances. Bravo...
Hooooly shit. The acting of those 2 ladies in these last episodes... breaks me in half. So much pain. Masterfully handled. I am in absolute AWE!
Phenomenal performances from Applegate and Cardellini in this ep! I’m so glad I decided to give this show a shot. It’s nothing like what I imagined it’d be.
And it’s about to be a Married... with Children reunion! Very cool.
And more feels bait that gets rushed over like nothing... I really feel like KyoAni at this point is just full of themselves.
And as always with this show: Julia Garner is the absolute standout as Ruth. She is goddamn fantastic.
Ben’s character arc is painful. Not in a bad way, just painful to see an obviously good person struggle. Ruth deserves a good person in her life, but Ben’s a handful even for her. Just tragic.
This was a very good and dark episode. The brutality of having your own mentally il brother killed is on another level. That definitely scarred me.
Watching someone as mentally impaired as Ben react to this situation is both aggravating and heartbreaking, making it extremely uncomfortable to watch. But part of me wonders why Wendy told him anything in the first place when he showed up, knowing how crazy he is?
I mean sure, it wouldn't be hard to piece together, nonetheless, I feel in retrospect she should have done more. Sided with her husband in making him leave, or just kept him in the dark more, IDK what but something!
That was some strong monologue there in the beginning. Such a heavy episode. Still weighing down on me now.
This season hasn’t been the greatest so far but this episode was quite special. If you’d told me this episode was the finale of this show I’d be incredibly satisfied.
Three eps in and very much digging the unique tone here, which feels halfway between political thriller and (somehow) deadpan screwball comedy, and this is the most exemplary ep of that tone so far. Keri Russell is a great harried, dialogue-snapping heroine and Rufus Sewell makes for a political heel for the ages.
This is just stupid. The only thing I found amazing about the whole thing was that I watched it all! I kept waiting for something intriguing to happen... and it just ended.
Abe is magnificent in his soul searching, guilt-trip through his innate sexism. Now, given his usual intensity, can't help feeling bad for the daughter...
A wonderful summary of all the reasons why I despise the vast majority of all horror movies. The only scary parts were the dialogues and what the writers had planned next.
The people are so stupid in this film it's amazing, 10/10 for realism
What an unusual movie. The pacing was erratic and the arc was fractured but the one thing that could hold this film together was going to be the casting of the two lead characters and they nailed it. Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba were the glue for this far sweeping fantasy. It wasn’t until the credits rolled that I realized we had been serenaded by a beautiful score from the very beginning. This will not be a film for everyone but in it’s genre it is fresh and transcendent. I give this film an 8 (an homage to the power of stories) out of 10. [Drama Romance]
A bit messy tbh. And really from an objective point of view I'm sick of seeing the violent, rapist, psychopath continuing to win every season. This time taking out two of the most interesting female characters along the way. One of the reasons I stopped watching the walking dead (other than the terrible writing) was the way they'd glorified violent rapist Negan again and again.
The start of the episode was very akin to 'if then else' then Frankie and her gf had a very Root and Shaw moment (given the appearances and 'you're my safe place') if you know, you know.
They finally made it happen, Marisa Coulter is the most reasonable character and my favorite. Thanks Lyra, your efforts to make me reach that breaking point were tremendous.
The "I have to sacrifice everything say sorry to a dead person" plotline is absolutely mindnumbingly stupid.
Ruth Wilson is increasingly on fire. Her material this season is getting meatier and she brings it home. Dying at Marisa forcing her way into spying around the Magisterium, then blithely brushing off an inefficient priest's threat:
"If you don’t stop --"
"You’ll do what, exactly?"
"I’ll fetch support."
"Good, we all need support." lmao
That scene with Shiv and Tom and the end was phenomenal.
The disgusting brothers is not something I expected. Such a perfectly lame, unoriginal, and juvenile turn of phrase for those two.
It's practically criminal that we didn't get to witness Bridget asking Logan for a selfie or Greg confessing to Logan.
The siblings spent 10 billion on a legacy brand, to piss off their dad, with funds they don't have - funds that are contingent on their father approving the sale of his business. Nan Pierce played them like a fiddle. Logan knows they overpaid. When he calls them morons at the end and they all just laugh because they think they "got him", it just shows how childish they still are.
The kids' obsession with Logan will be their downfall. I do feel sympathy for them because they are all screwed up from having Logan as a father, but I also feel like all four of their heads together could never be as ruthless, clever, or powerful as him.
“He said, he finds me disgusting and despicable”. Greg is going to turn into a monster by series end.
Shiv vs Tom is literally two bad people both suffering from their bad actions against each other so I don't feel bad. But also, good on the kids to f over Logan. At the same time, it sounds like Roman is the only one of them who is aware of how bad this business move could be and also the only one who wants to split from the Roy legacy.
I'm all for strong women and lead characters. And Kate obviously is intelligent, very experienced and knowledgeable.
So why in hell is this show, made by two women, portraying this character as some emotional and irrational wreck whenever Hal or Austin are involved?
She immediately expects the worst, rarely listens when they express their motivation and her first instinct always is to run first and then to follow up with some drama.
Or in other words: Everything you could possibly do wrong as a diplomat.
This series began so strong and there is still lots to like but this part is increasingly ruining my experience.

Fantastic performances, great emotional stories but not with too much pathos. The development of the protagonist from a "my formula does it all" technocrat to someone who learns to listen and care and also has the power to change the parameters was nice but believable, thanks to another outstanding performance by Keaton.
This movie certainly deserves a greater audience than it had.
You know those times when you don’t know what to watch, so you put on something you know is garbage, just to yell at it in your own bad rendition of MST3K? I know you do. Because you’re reading a comment about Money Plane.
Overall, it’s bad. Really bad. But not in the, cheap, self-aware, over-the-top ridiculous way that you’d expect. It’s just… bad.
There are a few good opportunities to yell at bad CGI, overly-serious acting, and bad green screen, but ultimately you’ll just find yourself forcing yourself waiting for it to end.
TL;DR: even if you want to laugh at how bad it is, don’t bother.
I mean, what is happening? All these strange and seemingly unexplainable occurrences. It‘s time for some answers imo.
i love the fact that they included the virus & george floyd
