I never thought I would find a show where an Oreo is a plot device but Ghosts made it happen
Dead at how badly Jay and Sam tried to gaslight Freddy into believing that ghosts don't exist.
I really thought they might be able to use the ghost trap to move Sasappis's girlfriend from the car to the house.
Pete informing Flower and Thor, who are making out, that he's in there with them and then exclaiming "That's not what I meant!" when Flower reached out and grabbed him by his shirtfront.
Freddy quits for good. Sam and Jay have fired him once, driven him to quit another time, caused his girlfriend to dump him, and he doesn't want to work someplace that has ghosts.
I truly dislike jump scares, not because they scare the shit out of me (they do!), but because they're a cop-out, a lazy option overused in today's horror. But - holy shit! - that scene with the sisters arguing with each other in the car... THAT'S how you do a jump scare! Also, nice way to stop a fight. Then, Theo's monologue right after was emotionally intense, I could feel her despair creeping inside me. This show can be slow and boring, at times, but the acting is consistently well above average.
the blurring thing becomes annoying and distracting
This is where I stop. I got 5 minutes in and asked myself "Why am I even still watching this?" This show lacks anything good at this point and they should have ended it in S2.
matt: im gonna put on some pants
foggy: no
same
TALENTED BRILLIANT INCREDIBLE AMAZING SHOW STOPPING SPECTACULAR NEVER THE SAME TOTALLY UNIQUE
To be honest , I am a big fan of slasher genre , so I have to give Scream thumbs Up.
Wilson have Cancer, now House should be diagnosed with Lupus, and that would be the major irony of this show
kirk and the girl was kinda creepy
Getting more and more bored with the storyline...
Lucifer takes a vacation from hell to be a detective on earth. No thanks. I'm dropping this show.
Everyone deserves a friend like Spoon.
Very interesting start, a good setup, having the main character as a psychologist is quite a change for a scifi/alien movie, the creature looks great and original, the fx are pretty good level. There seems to be all the ingredients for a great movie.
However, once you're past the revelation of what's actually happening, it's completely fucked up by the fact that not a single action by any character makes any sense. It's completely ridiculous, and the only thing in your mind for the second half of the movie is "What ? Why the fuck are you doing this ? Are you insane ?"
For starters, yeah the choice of a psychologist is interesting, and makes total sense with the setup of the story. However, once you know what is going on for real, that's utterly stupid. What is she going to do ? Talk the creature into getting out of the body ? And how are either of them going to survive ? In Arrival,they had linguists, that was original, and it made sense. Here less, but it would still make more sense than a psychologist. A biologist ? A chemist ? A zoologist ? A specialist on parasitism or symbiosis ? That would have helped.
Then there's the stupid addition of a useless love story. She's a top qualified psychologist, and yet after 3 days and 2 discussions, she just fall madly in love with her patient (emphasis on the madly given what she does after that) ?
Then there's the other scientist guy, feeling threatened by her presence even if they are not in the same field and do not have the same job. He doesn't even want to talk to her so they can progress in their work, yet at some point he has a total change of heart and is also willing to die to help them escape ??
Even if these actions already make no sense with nothing in the balance, they are incredibly insane when put in context. So the cosmonaut here is more or less in prison, ok. He is not badly treated, he's basically just not allowed to leave. On the other hand, he's inhabited by an unknown alien creature that goes out of his body without his control and eats humans, maybe that's a good reason to keep him locked in ?
It could be considered cruel that he doesn't know what's happening, but he even reveals that he has been lying since the beginning and is fully aware of it and having memories of the creature's action. Not only the fact that he lies is bad, by doing so he also conceals extremely important information for the study of the creature. It also reveals a very dangerous mindset that should trigger all sorts of red alarms for a psychologist.
So maybe wanting to help him is nice, but to do what ? They want to go to Moscow ? With the creature inside him ? Seriously ? And then what ? Leave the creature be ? Or just hold the guy in a less secured place in the middle of a huge city instead of a military base in the middle of nowhere ? It's even pointed out explicitly that we know nothing of the creature. That it could be just an infant form and the adult could be huge. We don't even know if it could reproduce. Or as it learns to stay out of the host longer and longer, if it would not just leave it at term and leave him to die. The danger is incredibly HUGE and childishly simple to understand. And yet none of these high level scholars seem able to grasp it ?
And what about the actual escape ? They already know his life is in danger when the creature is out. Yet they try it. Knowing fully that a lot of soldiers will be killed. And when she finally realizes he can't live without the creature, instead of doing a U-turn and bringing him back to the creature, she just stops the car, and even gets him out of it, what ? trying to get to Moscow by foot ? What the actual fuck ???
There are also included unrelated scenes with the kid, meant to make believe that's the guy's kid when it's actually her as a kid. These serves absolutely no purpose in the story, or character development. There are just here for the "fool you, that was not what you though it was", but they are totally useless.
So great start, good concept, great realization, good fx, great actors, but shitty movie that really turns into irritatingly stupid nonsense.
(Upon re-watch) I completely forgot that Abigail knew (or had a feeling about) Hannibal being a serial killer. The ending keeps the suspense well, but sadly, this episode was a bit slower paced than the first ones. Possibly due to the lack of a new killer?
That was painfully bad. How do these things even get a picked up
casting was well done, pretty good for a book adaptation.
halfway into season 1 and im boooooored
I couldn't make it through the whole episode. It's not necessarily super bad but it sure as hell was boring. I'm not going to bother continuing this show.
Nice episode. I‘d love to see Charlotte Cole (played by Bridget Regan) as member of the team!

Razor (101 minute extended version - not the 81 minute broadcast version)
Important note: This was originally broadcast just before Season 4, but chronologically it fits here, telling more of the Pegasus's story. Some people argue it's better to watch after Season 3, as originally broadcast, but it makes most sense to watch it here.
The reason that the placement of Razor is a hotly contested issue among BSG fans is because of a bit of dialogue at the very end (in the last 10 minutes) which sets the tone for Season 4 (barely even a spoiler). Everything else in this TV movie is not a spoiler.
So why place it here, and not where it was originally broadcast, if there's any sort of issue? Because, chronologically, the story is set here, and by the time you reach the end of Season 3, the story of Pegasus will feel like ancient history. Indeed, that was the complaint echoed around the internet from fans after Razor originally aired -- it had nothing to do with what was going on in the story at that time.
As a result of this, most fans agree it's better to watch Razor here. In doing so, you'll appreciate the story more and it will have greater emotionally resonance. In short: I highly recommend that you follow my advice and watch it here.
There is one small caveat, however: In order to deal with the above dialogue issue, and so not to unintentionally alter the tone of Season 3, I have two, very specific instructions that I recommend that you follow for your absolute optimum enjoyment.
I will try not to spoil anything with these instructions, so pay attention. You need to press MUTE on your TV (and/or turn off any subtitles) in the following two moments. Both of these moments occur in the last 10 minutes of the story, so you can relax and enjoy the first 90 mins before you need to worry.
Press MUTE when:
and shortly afterwards:
That's it! That's all you have to worry about. Two very small moments, and even if you don't unmute it, it's not a huge spoiler, it just unintentionally alters the tone of Season 3 if you don't, so do try your best to follow my instructions.

The Plan : This is where this DVD/Bluray movie was originally released (after the show had finished). It seems universally agreed that it's preferable to watch this after No Exit, instead of after you've finished the entire series, but there's no harm in waiting until now.

If you ever needed a lesson in not listening to reviewers and making your own mind up about a movie, this is it. The Suicide Squad is brought to life by David Ayer in this summer blockbuster. It is 2+ hours of hard hitting FUN, with incredible portrayals of comic book favourites. Will Smith IS Deadshot, Margot Robbie IS Harley Quinn, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje IS Killer Croc, Jai Courtney IS Captain Boomerang... and The Joker??? I WANTED MORE!!! Well the biggest compliment I can pay to Jared Leto is that I didn't think about Heath Ledger once, it was a completely different yet interesting portrayal.
In this fun action flick, the bad guys are sent to take down a greater evil. Critics of the big bad in this movie seem to have completely missed the point. The big bad in this movie is merely a plot device, to help us get to see our protagonists form as a team. If anything the real villain of the piece is the one who forms this team of misfits. Amanda Waller is portrayed DIABOLICALLY by the incredible Viola Davis and the part where she turns on and guns down her own employees is SHOCKING . Complaining about the villain in a movie where the protagonists are bad guys is akin to complaining about the villain in Deadpool... THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF THE MOVIE!
This movie leaves you with a thirst for more of these characters, and some shots such as when Will Smith is stood on top of a car and gunning down henchman after henchman after henchman look like they have just been ripped out of a comic book and put on screen by the wonderfully talented David Ayer.
If you are a comic book fan, or a DC movies fan, heck even if you are just an average movie watcher... watch this movie! It is SO MUCH FUN!!!
UPDATE: Just seen the Extended Edition and I really enjoyed the new scenes. This extended version doesn't change the nature of the movie in the way the Ultimate Cut did for BvS but I found it let's the movie breathe a little and solves some of the editing problems people complained about. I still love the theatrical release but my recommendation is to watch the extended version of this movie!
Great movie. Gyllenhaal's portrayal of a sleazy news vulture is simply amazing. His disregard for the suffering of his "subjects" is acted out so real, you really dislike the guy and of course what he does for a living (although that should go without saying).
A truly vivid portrayal of a real-world psychopath.
Enjoyable but incredibly overrated and an absolutely terrible ending.
Eternals really changed the whole MCU. This is a new take on a whole new mcu film without the same old formula. And I kinda like how divisive and deep, dark they went for this. There's so much complexity in each character that I know people can identify with, it's everything the other mcu films could've been. Fuck rotten tomatoes.
Nothing to say really besides: that’s how you do it!
This has without a doubt the most impressive stunts of the franchise, and it really knows how to use its characters and challenge them. There’s a lot of propulsive energy, lush cinematography and great editing. Lorne Balfe does a great Hans Zimmer impression, and Chris McQuarrie does a great Chris Nolan impression. Alright maybe I’m oversimplifying there, because I have to commend McQuarrie for doing another stylistic reinvention of the franchise, the cinematography and general feel aren’t just that of Rogue Nation 2.0. I’m not even sure if the constant evolution of this franchise comes from a place of creative ambition or commercial opportunity, but at least it keeps the films fresh. Some of its core elements will always remain the same, however. For example, the plot’s once again just a vehicle for all the juicy stuff. You could call it out for being generic or basic, but they find so much creativity and fun in these tropes that it becomes very entertaining (intrigue, the mask sequences, the craziness and constantly rising intensity). Sure, there’s a very predictable twist at the end of the second act, but more often than not, it managed to surprise me. Henry Cavill is a great new addition, bringing back Rebecca Ferguson was the best choice they could’ve made, and Pegg & Rhames remain the reliable anchors that add some heart & humour. It’s all exceptional stuff, it could very well go down as the best action franchise in history if the next films stick the landing.
9/10
The writing of the first act alone and the confusion over the protagonist was magnificent to me. I had an absolute blast in the theater with this one.
Spin off from TVD and it becomes definitely better than TVD itself.
i don't know what to say, other than i love this goddamn movie. i can truly say that my experience was enhanced by the fact that i'm not straight, as i definitely feel like this was a movie made for people who are struggling/have struggled with coming out. that's not to say it can't be enjoyed by a wide demographic of people (as it obviously can and has been), but i definitely feel like they got the "gay high school experience" down to a t in a way that it makes it all the more enjoyable if you've been through it. all of simon's mannerisms are incredibly relatable, and the dialogue is especially touching and well written (i cried buckets). their tagline, "everyone deserves a great love story" pretty much sums up my feelings, and not to be dramatic (too late), but it's a rom-com that i can really connect with on a deeper level and for that i'm grateful.
in addition to literally everybody, i encourage any lgbt+ people to see this if you're struggling with your identity or the fear of what others will think, or even the fear that you'll never find anybody to love or that loves you. this is truly a movie that you watch and think, "this guy gets it".
