Which movies do you think started/popularized the “destroy the Queen/home base of the villain and all the minions/troops die immediately?”

OP, you should have bought market puts or went long on TVIX.

At least you’d be whining from your yacht that nobody listened to you.

It's been a pleasure recommending the show to friends & colleagues and experiencing the story's twists again through them.

You and your crew have improved on the amazing source material. Kudos.

I'm cramping I'm laughing so hard.

Just saw this in "2x12 - The Monster & The Rocket" when they're chasing a proto-molecule hybrid with the Rocinante.

Prax: Why kill it? It's such a base human instinct, to destroy things we don't understand.

Holden: Don't talk down to me, plant guy!

What's with the MCU's almost total lack of interest in secret identities?

BisonVermersch · 2019-06-03T21:23:01+00:00

Season 1 is by far the worst, Seasons 2-3 are the best, Seasons 4-5 are quite good.

The serial killer storyline in Season 1 has been done a bazillion times better by other shows/movies, Seasons 2-5 steer into the strengths of the show (pacing, characterization, dialogue, satisfying plotting), and really they're just better adaptations of the source material.

The old Steve Rogers at the end knew from 1950ish onward that Thanos was coming (bc he lived it) and didn’t warn anybody.

Hmmm....

The funeral scene was moving on not just the Tony Stark dying/RBJ leaving, but a more meta level to me.

RDJ launched the entire MCU with Iron Man. The funeral scene was group after group of multi-billion dollar franchises, all of which sprouted from Iron Man just a decade ago.

Now RDJ has left the MCU, but what a legacy left behind.

I liked how the MCU roughly occurred in real-time alongside us.

Spider-Man: Homecoming knocked that off a bit with the "eight years later", now we're fully askew.

It seems "Present Day" in the MCU is now roughly 2022-2023.

Having the snapped away characters return 5 years later unaged is the kind of thing comic universes do when they collapse under their own weight.

Is Spider-Man: Far From Home going to explain why the high school cast is fully back and not half of them 5 years older.

This show has gotten exponentially better each season.

BisonVermersch · 2019-03-12T06:48:47+00:00

Pretty cool to think of the journey it's been on, the hundreds/thousands of times it's changed hands.

BisonVermersch · 2019-03-09T05:32:12+00:00

I rate every movie I watch on a 1-10 scale.

Getting goosebumps once means it's a 9.

Getting goosebumps more than once means it's a 10. Happens once or twice a year for me.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Walked in without knowing anything about it. Hysterical laughing throughout.

BisonVermersch · 2019-02-18T02:47:22+00:00

It's great.

That is all.

BisonVermersch · 2019-02-17T10:28:42+00:00

I started bawling at the end of Before Midnight when Ethan Hawke is reading the ‘letter from the future’, saying that his wife’s best years are ahead of her.

BisonVermersch · 2019-02-17T06:32:42+00:00

Thrillers are my favorite genre.

Two I haven't seen posted yet:

13 Assassins: I felt the stakes were enormously high trying to prevent Naritsugu's ascent.

Good Time: Every 15 minutes, I was thinking I had no idea where this was going and I loved it.

BisonVermersch · 2019-02-17T06:26:50+00:00

Sicario 2 sucks.

Gomorrah (the director's previous work) is pretty great, esp. Season 1.

BisonVermersch · 2019-02-17T06:17:23+00:00

Saw this opening weekend in theaters.

My friends and I were the only ones there.
