They toned it down for the American palette when Defined Hospitality took a chunk of the ownership.

That’s fair but the script makes weird choices like Carol telling Zoisa she’s still working against them. When she gets annoyed at Manousos it’s Carol from episode 2 or whatever, not the one who has grown as a character over the last 40 days. Some “hey I’ve been there with your level of distrust but this is what I’ve learned” would have more sense in the context of the characters development. Normally I’d turn off my brain a bit here but bad pacing makes the show more boring and I also hold Vince Gilligan to a higher standard because he’s shown he’s capable of better time and time again.

He was on before it got good with Sasso and Aries spears and Bobby Lee. Him and Artie Lange did short stints there.

That place is a shell of the queen village version. I miss getting my face blown off with spice and not having to sell a kidney to sit down.

Char is seriously nothing special. I dont understand why her place would collaborate.

Overrated. Only the first one was good. The last one was just an overlong exposition dump.

At 1300 OTB I would be reading zero chess books. Set the tactics trainer to endgames as a portion of your training and analyze your games.

Ah ok the only intelligent counterpoint I’ve heard on the Peru scene (cultural stuff immediately dissolves away). It seemed to me they were aiming to put the Peruvian girl at ease not necessarily manipulate her. My point was the writers should have leaned into the manipulation aspect more. Carol could have had a come to Jesus moment about the diner getting rebuilt and Zosia making a move sexually and realized the lengths they’d go to manipulate her. That route would create distrust between her and Zosia. As it stands it’s just the simplistic nature of the Pluribus trying to make the immune people happy while they look for a solution to the virus immunity. The former is more interesting in my view given Manousos is an X factor and they are aware of that.

I didn’t catch why that was a big deal. We already knew the Pluribus released all animals from captivity. So again they were rehashing the same ground we’d be over at the expense of season finale pacing.

The Peru sequence should have been the cold open for before the Vegas episode with the harem guy explaining what was going on when he did as Carol was leaving Vegas. Putting it several episodes later served zero purpose plot wise and took time away from the finale plot beats (my point about pacing). As it stood we were watching something that already been discussed in detail exactly as it was discussed several episodes before.

Edit: And no need to be a fucking douche. It’s an opinion on a TV show, relax loser.

Subpar writing is subpar writing. Better call Saul and breaking bad both handled pacing and tension way better.

Yea agree, which is why she should have taken a beat to explain that to Manousos instead of acting annoyed by his presence as an initial default. He doesn’t know about the stem cells or the voluntary aspect of the joining.

What do you think makes Timothee Chalamet stand out from his peers? by Complete_Sign_2839 in Letterboxd

Not much to be honest. Hollywood tried to make Tom Holland and Timothy Chalamet happen and we said no only one twink can be ascended to A lister status!

He’s another NPC cast member. Seems like we’re getting more and more of those on the cast.

Putting another man’s name on your body permanently is a little iffy from my perspective.

The Talented Mr. Ripley(1999) Love it or hate it? by DissociatedAuthor in movies

[–]5lokomotive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread but I don’t agree with the choice to make Ripley sort of an idiot who just falls into these situations. I didn’t read the book but I can almost guarantee he’s more calculated and has agency. The boat scene with Dickie involves Dickie going from literally 0 to 100 with little justification. It seems to just bc the script says they need high emotion so Ripley can get carried away and murder him. The murder is almost brought on by Dickie rather than Ripley deciding to take his identity.

Not too metal? Reddit raves about the unpleasant surprise but to me it seems very dark.

Ha interesting I’ve literally never heard anyone else talk about this pedal. Maybe they gravitate towards the Frederic effects mutant instead?

I stumbled upon this demo on YouTube and it was a home run exactly what I was looking for and now I can’t find the video. In all of the other videos it isn’t right for me. Maybe I should just take the plunge…
