You look like f*cking Bono!
The best episode so far. Loved the innovative storytelling.
John got that Fielder-touch on this :ok_hand:
that one on one with Blumenthal was quite unpleasant yet eye opening and the real high of the series. finally it's happening then bang, the same sh*t, just walked out with empty promises...
liked how Pat was happy for the picture and it was a really good one: Pat's one hand is in the air, really doing something while Blumenthal just sitting there staring at one point.
I almost forgot the painting then I had a bursting laugh when Tony spotted it in Paulie's apartment.
Larry Sanders Show vibes here.
Love the Deleuze cameo, but what is going on here?
-The type of pacemaker you have?
-Umm, I think it's a... Sony?
Absolutely hilarious. Loved every moments, Kumail was a brilliant guest and the suspects were funny too which was quite a surprise after the first two eps.
Expected more from Conan. Seemed like he just flew with the story and did not try hard to impro some funny stuff. I thought there would be more character breakings too, but somehow the 'ping-pong' between Will and Conan didn't kick in here.
Good kind of odd one. First I thought that Bobcat Goldthwait will be just a "platonic" punchline of the show considering that not even one guest star rated him (as a comedian neither as a host) and I felt that Larry wanted him because he was sure Bobcat won't be a challange for him. So it was surprising that Bobcat actually showed up in the episode and was ok to be the punchline - he's a joke (as a comedian and as a host too). Loved the Letterman cameo and Darlene's revenge on the years of Hank's sh*t.
Loved the interections between Spade and Larry in Larry's office. First: Spade: So... Larry: ...long? Then: Larry: Call me... Spade: You want me to call you later? Larry: no, no, I wanted to say, call me Larry.
"The war on drugs was a war on black and brown people" - I mean, yeah it could be your opinion for sure, but (as most comments in this show) shouldn't be in a 'documentary'. Episode 3 was the most ridiculous one yet (at least there is less Ron Jr, but they found a way to present his daddy issues that are not even relevant in the narrative of this episode). Ahhh, it's tiring but I'll finish this.
Man, I don't really know why but I can't stand Ron Jr. The moment he starts speaking I'm like oh, just stop it already. I think the show has a serious problems with the interviewees. I mean take Mr. Lopez who I admit has great knowledge but he's clearly not for TV. Sam as Ron Jr. (who obviously needs to be in the show cause he's the closest to Reagan himself). And I think the whole structure of each episode is wrong. I understand that they pick topics, but they agressively jump in times which could be very confusing to someone who's not into US politics since the sixties. There's no clear path either which makes every episode like a bunch of facts mixed with opinions "ordered" in chaos. Like the cool archive footages though and got some interesting details that I did not know earlier but I have to work for it, thanks to the chaotic structure.
Think Reagan is a very rich topic but this series mishandled it badly (I'm at ep2 though, so we'll see...).
Anyway I don't really get the Biden 'pun' at the end. I mean it's obvious that they wanted to reflect on today but this was very unfortunate regarding the numerous quastionable comments by Biden on race. They put the Biden cameo in as some Messiah is coming.
Most painful to watch episode so far for me... poor tourists especially the girl who said she's from South and it's a very special for her to be this close to a Hollywood movie. Jesus, Nathan, you're a freaking genius.
'Wait... a ghost choked you in Switzerland?' - love that the "Ghost Realtor" image really worked out for her in real life.
Maybe the best part was the end credit visuals with Dancing In the Moonlight playing in the background. Movie was meh.
Good Time was the first movie I've watched from the Safdie brothers. I really liked the tone of it, how they treated the movie's characters so on, so I was eager to watch Heaven Knows What. I was not disappointed. If you like the hyper realistic - junkie life sub genre you'd probably like HKW. It did not invent anything new, but show you again how pointless and sad a drug addict's everyday life. HKW captures well this evil cycle.
Yo, Nicolas Winding Refn calling and he wants his aesthetics back! Seriously talking, if you love Refn's early movies you'll love Good Time. Not a single character is boring in this one.
For me the first hour was like meh, then the slasher-type 30 mins really worked for me. The twist at the end was predictable but it was still one of the best yet from the first four "episodes".
Awesome cast, a young Brad Pitt in one of his first major roles and he totally owned the movie. The story was decent still something felt off. I think the soundtrack was poor, the editing very 'tv-ish' and these make it hard to feel the tense. Still the acting was pretty decent.
Well, two things:
1. the scene where the doctor lets George see the squirrel in the hospital reminded me of Norm Macdonald's 'sick cat story'. I guess he told the story first at Conan's Late Night in June, 1996. Maybe it's a coincidence but I can imagine that could inspire Jerry especially the line when the vet says to George: "You have 30 minutes". Either way it was really funny.
2. Jerry's questionable behaviour. Which is drugging the girl to take advantage of her (toy collection). Well, it's super funny, and of course absurd but works really well because not just Jerry, but George, Elaine and the Sidler get their parts from the gig that runs throughout the episode. But imagine they air it nowadays. No way it would go through in our super sensitive society (for good and bad reasons too), however as I said before it is a super funny situation.
Seagal's one of finest, a straightforward action packed crime movie from the early 90s. Loved the idea that it tells you the story of just one night or roughly a day of vengeance. Cast was great, even the dog (remember, a year before, in Hard to Kill, Seagal had a little cat pal) was fun.
Awesome soundtrack (obviously), great pace, interesting characters, great amount (but not useless, stupid) of action. Baby Driver is a badass watch.
Lehane can write, Ben can direct, Casey can act. Gone Baby Gone is a near perfect novel made it to the big screen as a near perfect movie. A young Casey Affleck and a brilliant Ed Harris show us the dark side of Boston.
Remember the times when movies was made for fun? Just to have like 90 minutes popcorn-time? I don't get the "this idea has much more in it" comments. Brightburn is a perfect one nighter with great amount of gore and humour (hello, James Gunn!), I really can't complain here (maybe because I'm not a hardcore comic-movie fan, who sees a flying kiddo and want a super dark 9 hour trilogy about him).
Well I wasn't sure how they were going to wrap the things up and give us thrilling yet satisfying ending but they surprised me with these near perfect season finale. The balancing between the Sherlock Holmes style detective cases and the psychopaths interviewings were getting riskier and riskier (sometimes even a little bit boring). They hit the jackpot with Kemper though and they used this cleverly in the end.
Bit of a slow burner but turned out pretty enjoyable. I rooted for the cat.
An easy-watching whodunit movie with a pretty cool car chase scene. For a hot summer night with a glass of lemonade it does its job.
I liked how they wrapped it up at the end and gave it a conclusion. The tempo was not the best, the 'puzzles' were meaningless in terms of scaring. And no, it's not from Japan. It's from South Korea.
Got some scares but the "story" almost made me sleep.
