Really love this movie, watch it every Christmas. Would recommend it, great flick.

I won't spoil “the scene” for you, but the movie is incredible

Watching it now. Best Wes Anderson movie I've seen so far

As a teen it was easily Requiem For a Dream.

Now, nothing has hurt me like The Sea of Trees.

Which movies hurt you?

Being stuck in bed awake all night I figured I would take the opportunity to check out just what kind of trash is available on the hospital TV. This is an extremely primitive system that hasn't been upgraded in decades so it doesn't have advanced features like a guide to wtf the channels are. Let's see what's out there.

Miss Congeniality 2 (2005)

Bombed so hard that I never knew it existed. They took the cast from the original and gave them a terrible script. The jokes are so lame and predictable I'm insulted that I'm expected to laugh.

Public Access TV

It's exactly how it's always been my whole life.

• NASA

• Democracy Now

• weird piano lessons

• incomprehensible shit made by local people with the early 1990s equipment provided for free by public access

• serious arguments about road plans in various suburbs

• yoga for geezers

Mom

Sitcom about a family of multiple generations of women who are fricked up. Actually makes fun of women in a non-superficial way. Sometimes watchable if you're lucky (and desperate).

Religious Channels

There's all kinds on a wide spectrum of how sleazy they are. One almost seemed sincere. They all want your money.

So there you go, that's the most exciting discoveries I made on this adventure. Honestly I thought there would be more.

I spent the past two days binge watching both seasons (3 and then 2). I saw s1 4 or 5 years ago.

Season 1 was probably top 10 if not top 5 TV kino for the whole decade. I don't think much discussion is warranted on that one.

ifyougettheopportunityyoushouldkillyourself.mkv

Season 2 - What the frick was that ending? It felt like they killed both of them without much of a reason and there was no payoff. They still could have reasonably done this if there had been some sort of payoff, but there wasn't. Every single moid main character was killed off, along with most of the minor ones, and the girlbosses were the only ones that survived. I don't actually think this was a woke thing, just weird writing. Plus all the usual complaints about the directing and general midness of the whole thing. Pre-sobriety Ray is literally me though, and Vince Vaughn urban warfare was fun at times.

I did notice that the raven mask character and several of the plot points surrounding him and otherwise in the show seemed to be lifted straight from the Hotline Miami vidya franchise.

Season 3 - Return to form. First half felt almost as good as season 1, but the 3-layer simultaneous separate timelines felt excessive and confusing at times and I wasn't as happy with the second half. The bipoc main character was fine and didn't feel forced. Grace Gummer's (I assume everyone here has seen Mr Robot) sister is in it and their faces are similar enough that I briefly thought it was her. Overall pretty good but not as good as season 1. The dementia stuff was kinda mid but they mostly pulled it off and the fake death was decently done as a plot twist, if not in actual delivery.

Season 4 - Haven't started. I'll probably binge it at some point after the entire thing is available online, mostly because of gilfmode Jodie Foster (she has aged impeccably).

A fun kids' action comedy.

Often movies for kids assume their audience wants to see kids on screen. That's r-slurred. A kid doesn't want to see Wesley Crusher save the USS Enterprise. They don't want to identify with that whiny little b-word. They want to see Riker save the USS Enterprise and identify with him.

Jumanji has a cast of kids who get transformed into adults and sent to save a world, the kind of stuff that kids daydream about. The actors are likeable (The Rock, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and some girl). Their characters are written to be likeable. There's conflicts among them but not overly dramatic or like they're buttholes. Occasionally there's even a joke.

It's not a masterpiece but it reminds me of a time when action movies were supposed to be fun and make you leave the theater feeling happy, not bitter and resentful of your fellow man.

Using a space-borne IED to blow up another ship because they don't value life like we do.

I'm watching DS9 for the first time btw.

Edit: Mind blown.

Origin returns to Martin at the end in a juxtaposition suggested by one of DuVernay's close friends, Guillermo del Toro. “He was one of our biggest champions, and he came in and edited with us for a couple of days,” says Averick. “It was his idea to flash to Trayvon Martin within the concentration camp scene. He was like, ‘There's some kind of connection.' ”

When they put the clips up against each other, the impact was stunning. In the Holocaust sequence, a Jewish woman desperately tries to run after her son as they are ripped away from each other. Nazi officials wrestle her to the ground and put a gun to her head, echoed decades later by Zimmerman wrestling Martin to the ground. Even the composition of the footage was coincidentally similar.

>And then i told her add Trayvon Martin to the Holocaust scene, and she actually did it!

Despite its indie budget, Origin also features a roster of stars, many who came in for just a scene or two. “You come in, you'll get fit on one day, we'll rehearse the next day and then we're shooting and then we've got to send you back because we can't pay for the hotel,” DuVernay says of convincing Audra McDonald, Nick Offerman, Blair Underwood and Vera Farmiga to say yes to small but impactful roles.

People strip others of their humanity to justify their treatment — enslavement of Africans in the New World, execution of Jews during the Holocaust or the continued abuse of and discrimination against Dalits in India. Origin depicts each of these atrocities with a deliberate gaze

!Bharatiya stop doing another holocaust

All this effort to create a fantastic film has been duly reflected in the floods of awards and box office revenue that have been coming in

>Please watch my film

it was snubbed by the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, DGA, SAG and Critics Choice Awards

During award show season, DuVernay has been vocal about "Origin" being passed over for major nominations. On Dec. 11, the day Golden Globe nominations were announced, Ellis-Taylor went to a local theater and passed out the movie's flyers “to remind herself what matters,” DuVernay said on Instagram the following month.

“I wish she didn't have to do this to remind herself. I wish she was at the Globes or SAG Awards or Critics Choice or the other nominations that didn't come,” wrote DuVernay on Instagram Jan. 3.

Also it's cool this is basically not about Godzilla but 90% filmed in boardrooms as a critique of Japanese obsession with rules and jannying society to death

True Detective: Night Country showrunner Issa López has slammed “hardcore fanboys” of the show's first series, claiming they are purposefully dragging down ratings for the latest, female-led, season.

• Pink(cute twink)news

True Detective season 4 director encourages fans to support the show by leaving positive audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

True Detective season 4 was review bombed after the premiere.

Director Issa López fears the review bombing might be the result of "bros and hard-core fanboys of S1" who are upset about the changes the show is making in season 4.

After deleting her initial Tweet lamenting the review-bombing taking place on True Detective: Night Country's Rotten Tomatoes page, López posted additional Tweets clarifying her stance and noting that the show's audience score has since improved. She also stated, "I used a generalization about who was bombing. And geralizations [sic] are ALWAYS a mistake." She continued with, "SO MANY beautiful bros and TD S1 hard-core fans loved our ep 1!" See her new Tweets, below.

‘True Detective: Night Country' is getting review-bombed by “bros”

True Detective: Night Country showrunner Issa López has called out fans of the first series of the show who she thinks are review-bombing it deliberately.

‘TRUE DETECTIVE' CREATOR DELETES INSANELY STUPID TWEET

“True Detective: Night Country” creator Issa Lopez smashed the delete button after sending a very dumb tweet. The fourth season of the hit HBO mystery series premiered this past Sunday on the network, and the early reviews were nothing short of incredible.

However, not all fans have loved it, and there's been some negative reviews and backlash on social media. That led Lopez for no reason at all to blame “bros” and hardcore fans for attempting to tank the show….without any evidence that's the case!

Kenya Barris has, for some reason, been given the impossible task of remaking, or rather updating, two classic films: “The Wizard of Oz” and “It's a Wonderful Life.”

Interviewed at Sundance, Barris confirms that the script for his reimagining of “The Wizard of Oz” is completed. His version of Dorothy is a girl who lives in the Bottoms, which is a huge apartment complex located in Inglewood, California.

The original ‘Wizard of Oz' took place during the Great Depression and it was about self-reliance and what people were going through. I think this is the perfect time to switch the characters and talk about what someone imagines their life could be. It's ultimately a hero's journey, someone thinks something's better than where they're at, and they go and realize that where they're at is where they should be. I want people to be proud and happy about where they're from. But I want the world to take a look at it and I hope that will come through.

Barris also confirms that Paramount entrusted him in remaking Frank Capra's “It's a Wonderful Life.” Barris says that the story will also revolve around a person of color. He believes that the 1946 version's main character, indelibly played by Jimmy Stewart, was specially made for a POC:

It's a guy who's trying to help out his community and things are going to turn around on him. I think that's the perfect story to tell for a person of color — Black or brown — to get into that because our communities have some issues and someone trying to help that community out. I think that's the perfect vehicle to tell that story from.
