  1. Really darkly satirical, fun movie that shows off the two leads - I hope Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch do more things together. The screenplay is razor sharp. I'd like to see it get an Oscar nomination. It's the writer who did the screenplay for both The Favourite and Poor Things.
  2. I hope they move the plot forward more this week, at least around the motivations of the hive and what their end goals and real power are. They say they won't kill anything, and she can kill 11 million in one pop just by getting mad? And they'll give her anything she wants at any time? If that's me and all my family and friends are gone, just move me to my own island, keep the fridge and pantry stocked, let me order all the books and movies I want and I'm set. They can do all the world domination they want and I wouldn't get in the way. I'm just confused as to what the end game could be.
  3. I think she's a figment of Lilly's imagination.
  4. I knew him from Pushing Daisies, which was one of the most underrated tv shows ever, as well as Bodies Bodies Bodies, which was a great indie horror movie. Saw this today and it was fine; it's just hard for me to see Glenn Powell as "the angriest man ever". Plus, I will watch Colman Domingo in anything, though, and Edgar Wright makes a great action movie, even if the content isn't perfect. I'd recommend it for streaming if you're on the fence about seeing in it the theater.
  5. Lol seriously. YOUR LIFE IS YOUR OWN.
  6. Vince Gilligan back to doing sci-fi X-Files shit? 1000% in. Loved the first episode.
  7. Lol it's his second-longest book at around 1200 pages. And it's only second to the uncut version of The Stand, not the original version. IIRC, Dick is mentioned briefly in the book when they discuss the Black Spot (the nightclub that burns down). I'm still not a huge fan of this show but I'll give it another episode or so.
  8. Black Philip is indeed creepy af. But honestly, all goats are creepy af with their rectangular pupils. My 13-yo and I saw this in the theater and liked it a lot. A horror masterpiece it is not, but it's fun for what it is. Sometimes you just want dumb fun movies. We both couldn't stop laughing at the scene with the rotary phone.
  9. Took me forever to realize where I'd seen Katherine Lanasa before.
  10. Oh, NOW McConnell breaks rank? I will never, ever forgive him for his role in all of this.
  11. IDK how these motherfuckers just fly into hurricanes. I have to pop a Xanax for a short flight on a sunny day.
  12. If we learn nothing else from the disaster scenario in which we currently live, it's that bad actors can find loopholes everywhere and there's no way to write a completely airtight set of rules to govern a democracy. For civilized society to remain civil, you have to be able to rely somewhat on people applying laws and rules in the manner in which they were intended. We're never going to get anywhere if we spend all our time arguing over what the word "shall" means in the 22nd amendment. American society is a Jenga tower that has relied more heavily on norms than most of us believed, and we're one or two blocks away from the whole thing falling down. All it took was a cult of personality and a few social media algorithms.
  13. Didn't love it, but it's a pilot so I'll definitely give it a few more episodes, especially because of I'm not super interested in the military storyline, but ok. Let's see what happens. I'm much more interested in the Hanlon family story and I hope they go into what happens at the nightclub. I'll spoiler this next thing just in case, but it's something interesting I noticed in IMDB.
  14. Really, the goal is to get away from everyone else for a bit. If y'all have recs for other places to visit close to Rome, I'm all ears!
