So much better than the last episode. Glad to see they've still got the sauce!
"Dennis is like the smartest person I've ever met, and I've met like a hundred people."
"Ooh, you know, that is a lot of people."
"Well, I've met like a hundred and five."
"YOU HAVE NOT! WHERE?"
"Just a clarifying question—are we monkeys or cows?"
Dennis screaming gets me every time :rofl:
Mac's transformation is insane

"Ugh, you are such a fucking child."
"Of course I am! I've spent my entire life hitting a ball with a racket."
"Do you wanna take a walk?"
What a hidden gem. I laughed harder and cried way harder than I was expecting. Ryan Gosling bring so much humanity to a character that could have so easily been played as a joke. So simple, so deep, so moving. We all need to find a way to heal.
Michael Scott could not make it today due to an unforseen prior engagement.
Anya is no Charlize, and "Furiosa" is no "Fury Road".
Bizarre pacing, with plot holes so big I hesitate to even call them that—it's more like massive chunks of the story are just missing. This should've been a miniseries.
"So... the man who allegedly took your babies is their grandfather?"
"Not all of 'em. One of 'em. The other two are his step-grandchildren through marriage."
"Has the parent of the two stepchildren been contacted?"
"I'm here. It's me. The babies are mine and his."
"Yeah, she's my wife. The guy who took 'em is my other wife's dad. Except she's my wife's wife, not mine. Not legally."
"She's my wife, and I'm his wife."
"So... the guy is the stepdad of your wife's wife."
"No, she's her dad!"
"He's my father-in-law."
"And he doesn't speak any English."
"And them?"
"They're looking for hope."
"What about you?"
"Redemption."
I remembered this movie as having phenomenal action, of course, but lacking any emotional weight. Wtf was I thinking? I just sobbed for two hours straight.
So glad to see some things changing this season, especially for Fiona
"I like to sabotage myself, d'you know what I mean?"
I don't know too much about Amy, so I can't comment on the movie's accuracy. Putting that aside, the story is kind of a mess.
Marisa Abela's performance, however, is electric, and basically the only good reason to see this. Effortlessly cheeky, charismatic as hell, desperately sad, and not afraid to be unlikable at times. I was astonished to learn that all the vocals are hers as well (I was sure she was just lip-syncing to Amy's vocals). Her performance single-handedly brings a shock of life to this dud of a screenplay.
Weird pacing, muddled themes, not as funny as it thinks it is. Still, if John Krasinski doesn't know how to hit me right in the feels.
"That's a really good story. What happens next?"

DR. KELSO WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE
Craziest premise this show has ever attempted
"Who do girls wanna have sex with more than anybody else?"
"Jugglers."
"Mac's being a pussy! He doesn't wanna fight anymore!
"I'm not being a pussy! I just don't wanna kill women and children."
"How do I get him to stop thinking of them as real people?"
Love me some philosophical gangsters. Very curious what it must've been like growing up in the McDonagh household.
"He was a—what, uh, what d'you call it?"
"Uh, paraplegic?"
"Spastic, yeah."
"Maybe this is the killers five and a halfth victim."
"Go on."
"Maybe he's killed four people before now, and he's maimed another lad. Cut off his legs, maybe. Which would be the half. So this would be victim number five and a half."
"Ah, man, that was fuckin' years ago. I mean, I thought that had all been forgotten about. Same thing happened to Polanski."
"What was it, a sheep or something?"
"It was a llama. You know, I didn't even know it was illegal to interfere with a llama, did you?"
"I would have assumed so, Billy. I mean, what would its parents think?"
Some other great lines:
"I'm Irish, sir! Racism is part of my culture."
"I like sharks. They're soothing."
"I've always wanted a giraffe."
"I'm on tablets, like, for distress. Lithium."
"They're always fuckin' overestimating!"
"You'd be a terrible husband."
"How can you say that?"
"You have no practical skills. And you're too small to fend off enemies."
"I've tried sitting down. It didn't agree with me."
"I told you never to talk about what that fortune teller said!"
I'm in awe of Rob McElhenny's ability to explain something completely insane while keeping a straight face. I can't imagine how many takes it took them to get through the bike scene without laughing.
I thought Harvey and Louis were gonna kiss
There are moments of greatness, like "No!", and that reveal when the horse rides out of the fog. And some great cinematography (those tracking shots). Unfortunately, not much else.
Also: Does James Franco always sound drunk, or just in this movie?

Edit: After seeing the 1968 original, I think I was too harsh on this. This preboot (prequel-reboot) includes a lot of parallels to the original which make it more interesting and powerful than I initially thought.
I'd definitely recommend starting with the original if you have the chance.
They should market this to drunks! Or us!
"Why are you standing so far away?"
"... Just to be out of slapping range."
- The face Paul W. Downs makes when saying, "No. Dead. Absolutely dead." :rofl::rofl::rofl:
- Debra and DJ—I teared up
- "There is a risk, obviously, supporting an elderly messy bitch comedian. But enough about Bill Maher."
- Noooo :sob::sob::sob: such a sad breakup scene... I was waiting the whole episode for something bad to happen because of course the season needs to end on a bad note :rolling_eyes:
Though honestly I'm not sure who's more right, Deborah or Ava. Just shows how good the writing and performances are.
