  1. She was her lactation consultant. Devon had that amazing line about how Cobel committed lactation fraud.
  2. I think this is a big part of it. I haven't gone to a non-Alamo theater in at least a decade because they do a great job of getting rid of many of the things that suck about other theaters - hordes of unaccompanied high-schoolers, people on their phones, people talking, etc. The pre-shows aren't commercials but montages of interesting footage that somehow relates to the film. And put me in the pro-trailer club - I love seeing glimpses of what's coming up and getting excited about what to see next. That said, it's still expensive, especially if you're eating and drinking. These days, I tend to ration my movie-going to stuff that seems made to watch on a big screen or with a big group, or things that my kids want to see. Anything else I stream. As they've gotten older, movies have stayed the thing that we all still love, so when one of them asks if we can go see something in the the theater, it's usually an easy yes. And I still love going to the movies by myself. If I find myself with a day off from work and nothing else to do, that's usually where I end up. The last component, and what I think Sean Baker was really getting at, is that we miss the community aspect of movie-going when we watch at home, and that community aspect is worth more than we think. I think about this often as I sit at my house with everyone in the same room, but on their individual laptops watching stuff by themselves with their Airpods in. The movies are one of the few experiences left where you really have to all focus on the same thing at the same time. I'm extremely introverted, and if left to my own devices, I could easily get lost in my own head, my own books, my own computer, forever, with nary a word spoken to someone else. And while that's honestly the dream, I don't think it's the best thing for me, or society in general. Anyway, that ended up being a lot longer than I planned. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
  3. Iiiiinteresting. So Cobel invented the Severance procedure. I predict she will choose violence.
  4. This is from later in the same article. Note the last sentence.
  5. Mikey with the upset! It's so weird hearing her without the Brooklyn accent.
  6. One of my college roommates' favorite movies was Center Stage, and damn, has Zoe come far from that.
  7. Seriously, when are they going to add a Best Stunts category?
  8. Kieran Culkin seems like such a class act. He loves his wife and kids so much. And he was great in A Real Pain. Great win.
  9. Another thing I realized today - Dr. Mauer is played by Robby Benson, who was the voice of the beast in the Disney Beauty and the Beast, who also kidnapped a woman from her family and kept her in captivity only to fall in love with her.
  10. The Gemma who tried to escape was outie Gemma, which is why she was a lot more with it than Ms. Casey. When she went down the elevator, she reverted to Ms. Casey, and her personality reverted back to the Ms. Casey we know. Jinx
  11. Mark also mentioned something about how she hated to write thank-you notes, before they showed her in the room where she had to write thank-you notes until she could barely write.
  12. Maybe so - they just looked the same in the dark.
  13. Another thing about the visuals/lighting - the scene where Mark walks to the door as the cops show up was the first time I recognized the inside of his house. I wasn't even sure it was the same place until then. It's like he's kept it dark and quiet inside since the day she "died."
  14. This is the first time they've shown the outies' world to be in any season besides winter. The four people in what I'm calling the photo-negative version of the MDR room - were those the clones we saw during Woe's Hollow?
  15. I actually LOLed at this.
  16. I've always figured that the "twin" wasn't so much a twin as a devil on Keir's shoulder. That the point of the story was that Keir vanquished his more unsavory half and then became who he was, and that the story was more of a fable than a real occurrence. But your theory about creating a severed person without implanting a chip is an interesting one.
  17. I think this was by design - Clueless is a retelling of Emma, and in Emma, you're supposed to hate Mr. Elton. Jeremy Sisto does a great job with that.
  18. "The corn was really special." I love John Noble. He is great at playing slightly daffy characters with a lot of depth. He was the best character on Fringe. Burt is totally a Lumon higher-up. I definitely think they are hinting at Helly/Helena being pregnant, especially with Fields mentioning his concern about Burt bringing home STDs from his unprotected work dalliances. Someone like Helena seems like she'd be on birth control, but with Mark being so important to Lumon for unknown reasons, maybe she wants to get knocked up by him. Or just as a fuck you to her dad.
  19. The only other thing I've seen Britt Lower in was this show called Ghosted with Adam Scott and Craig Robinson. It was kind of a take on The X-Files. It only lasted one season but I liked it. Probably because of how much I like The X-Files.
  20. It may have been; I just remember the black guy who was there saying that he hadn't been to a food-based dinner party in forever. Or something to that effect.
  21. Anyone else watch Somebody, Somewhere on HBO? The performance review guy was Iceland. Rickon and Devon's relationship is weird, but there is something generally weird about all the non-severed (outies?) in Keir. The guy who hosted the no-food dinner party. Rebeck, who warned Mark about the wounds on the back of her head from her birds. Etc.
  22. Like having an audience with a king of old. This is exactly how I heard it.
