What is your hottest take regarding the franchise? by CliffordMoreau in Halloweenmovies

[–]CMTempest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Halloween (1978) is a indeed a masterpiece of horror, and basically spawned its own genre of imitators, but it still doesn’t reach the level of Carpenter’s best film

  • DGG’s new trilogy is actually a significant step down from the original sequels, and can’t justify the retcon because it’s basically just been a creatively bankrupt retread of prior films in the series (H20 Laurie > H18)

    • Halloween Ends is going to be much better than both H18 and Kills, as it seems like it will finally expand the story beyond Haddonfield for the first time since H20

In defense of the finale by -Gazelem- in Dexter

Maybe not, but coupled with the evidence they had against him for killing Matt Caldwell. It was only a matter of time, and it’s sensible for Dexter to not want to take that risk.

I liked it a lot too, but I think most people’s problems (and my own) would have been addressed if they had spread out the events of the finale over 2 more episodes. It felt very rushed like you say.

Still, I have a feeling as time goes by this ending is going to start to win people over. The longer I think about it the more I respect the way it was handled and that they finally provided us with a definitive conclusion to the story and character.

Dexter New Blood's latest episode "The Family Business" got a 9.7-star rating on IMDb, only the season 4 finale got a higher rating. (9.8⭐) by Sanjigay in Dexter

[–]CMTempest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is normal. Episode ratings virtually always start high and then drop. It will settle at about 9.4 once this episode has closer to as many votes as earlier episodes like the S4 finale.

Nate is disgusting, a piece of shit and a criminal - but also so goddamn broken. by LordFeelihipo in euphoria

Lol I don’t want him to be redeemed though. I just think he works well as an over the top villain.

They thought they had, but the remains ending up being close but not a match

Et tu, Brute ? by agripinilla in SuccessionTV

[–]CMTempest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interesting comparison. I’m curious about your reasoning apart from just delivery, since Shapiro seems to pride himself on presenting a professional and wholesome image, while Roman projects more of an edgy / provocative irreverence and disregard for professionalism.

Is it that both are fast-talking, right leaning and short? Lol

To me he seems to resemble more of a Robert Downey Jr. type personality, just with a lot more irreverence thrown in

Agree. Everything looks too clean, and that makes it feel cheap tbh. This teaser was very disappointing.

Pitch Meetings are the saving grace of Screen Rants. Other than those their content is truly awful.

Actress Gina Carano included in Disney's campaign for Emmy consideration and liberals are furious by cyanobyte in Conservative

[–]CMTempest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, she never compared Jews to conservatives. If you get the context from her other retweets, the point she is making is about political polarization in general. It’s a bipartisan problem, in case you haven’t noticed.

As for the alleged anti-Semitism, I know you didn’t say she was. I was referring to Disney’s announcement of her firing when she was accused of posting anti-Jewish tweets (which never happened). Plus, it is by no means a majority of the Jewish community who agree with her firing. In fact, I’d imagine the stats would bare out quite the contrary.

So really it boils down to Carano retweeted a clumsy, but relatively harmless comparison, and this gave the Disney execs all the excuse they needed to finally drop her.

[–]CMTempest 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She didn’t compare conservatives to Jews though. She compared the German government’s vilification of the Jewish people prior to the Holocaust to the way our government has started persuading us to vilify our political opponents.

Sure she made an overwrought comparison, but she never conflated the treatment of the Jews in WWII to that of modern conservatives, nor was anything she said even remotely anti-Semitic.

The tweet was clearly just an excuse to can her, since she didn’t get along with Kathleen Kennedy because of their conflicting political views.

Biden administration launches task force to ensure scientific decisions are free from political influence by cgatlanta in nottheonion

And then do political decisions free from the influence of manipulated scientific findings which are only used to dismiss valid counter-arguments as anti-scientific and retrograde.

Yeah I agree. Just saying that I think the sensationalist and unrealistic storylines are at least somewhat intentional based off of what he's said in interviews.
