As a big ‘Walking Dead’ supporter, I hate to admit it... but, this was - hands down - one of the worst episodes EVER in this universe.
I am OVER Al and her :pound_symbol:%$&ing stories. Nobody cares anymore. Toss the camera aside. Storytime is over. I could barely stay awake.
With a decline in viewership, it’s time to reinvigorate your audience. This is not how that’s done.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘John Wick’:
One of my biggest television pet peeves is when a character can explain a situation a trillion times better than they actually do - and they don’t. When they can very easily defend their actions, successfully and succinctly - and they don’t.
That was Hughie here. Frustrating to no end. Starlight doesn’t deserve you.
Rant over.

One of the best eps so far. The suitcase story had a solid ending.

My Review of ‘Misery’ in 3 Sentences:
After this rewatch, I was reminded even more how incredible Kathy Bates is.
After this rewatch, it dawned on me that Paul Sheldon handled everything rather calmly the entire time.
This will always be one of the best Stephen King films.
My Review of ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ in 3 Sentences:
I wasn’t fully satisfied, but I wasn’t bored - thanks to some solid spooky visuals.
The Bellows family story - the source of the action - felt rushed and incomplete.
One major downside is that several character fates will never be revealed by a sequel that’ll never happen.
I could’ve done without the endless Applebee’s ad.
My Review of ‘The Lighthouse’ in 3 Sentences:
I feel like I just watched a two-hour bar fight.
Even great cinematography can’t save a movie.
The farting was absolutely unnecessary.
My Review of ‘Joker’ in 3 Sentences:
This is the most terrifying Joker I’ve ever seen.
This is the saddest Joker I’ve ever seen.
I wouldn’t be opposed to Joaquin reprising this for Pattinson’s Batman.
My Review of ‘Head Count’ in 3 Sentences:
This was a clever little horror movie totally worth a rewatch.
This kind of storytelling is what I was hoping for from the new ‘Twilight Zone’.
Clearly you don’t need a budget or insane amounts of gore to be effective and super creepy.
Yas, Elaine! Buh bye, Ron Ron. :wave_tone1: #backfired
I adore this show so much.
With that said, am I the only one who believes we should be way past the point of flashbacks?
My Review of ‘Mulholland Drive’ in Three Sentences:
I tend to appreciate Lynch’s films more AFTER I watch them.
I prefer to enjoy 2+ hour films WHILE I watch them.
Fascinating take on dreams/fantasies aside, I doubt I’ll ever sit through this one again.
Daya is THE WORST. Always has been.
I can appreciate the cinematography, the score, and a big ball of weird being left up for a whole lotta interpretation. But I found this film to be more frustrating than entertaining.
I finally decided to check Eraserhead out after seeing it at the tippy top of a bunch of lists and receiving recommendations from friends. In the end, I just wasn’t as satisfied as so many other viewers were.
It: Chapter Two is a perfect example why horror films should rarely use CGI. Their overuse of it took me out of the moment on way too many occasions. The original television movie used practical effects that were more creepily-effective than what was used here. The Chinese restaurant / fortune cookie scene serves as an appropriate comparison.
I enjoyed the film overall. Skarsgård is a super talented actor, and I enjoyed what he brought to Pennywise more this time around. The Losers’ Club ensemble was fantastic as well (Chastain is queen). It’s difficult not to compare everything to the original (which I still believe is superior). Skarsgård is no Curry, but - then again - nobody is.
I will admit, however, that this modern day venture into Derry wins out with its ending. As opposed to the 1990 film, :asterisk_symbol:this:asterisk_symbol: one is properly climactic in every way. And kudos for the addition of Richie’s true love. :rainbow_flag: (Hader was perfection.)
I love me some Maggie Grace, but homegirl needs to ditch the damn camera and tape obsession.
The most heartbreaking episode of this series.
:broken_heart::broken_heart::broken_heart::broken_heart::broken_heart::broken_heart::broken_heart:
The power of Barry White, y’all. Smiling like an idiot over here.
The debut of the Dancing Baby! :pound_symbol:iconic
One of this series’ most memorable episodes.
The beginning of one of my favorite shows of all time.
Poor Hans. =( Hoping this season picks up the pace as we header closer to the end.
I thought this episode was one of the series’ best. The ‘Cats’ references (and a cameo from Fred Armisen) were absolute perfection.
