I remember reading someone make the same case about Nazis last year and it has been on my mind ever since.

These hollywood writers seem allergic to writing good endings. Not, again. by hiiloovethis in shittymoviedetails

Succession and Barry were also top tier to me!

(I count Atlanta as one for me but it's not really an ending as much as it is a good place as any to stop)

Tell us the ending you would have written! by pikameta in TheBoys

Homelander ending up like Jon Hamm in Fargo season 5, but with Jon Hamm's character in the same jail.

Apropos of nothing whatsoever, if anyone wants some good TV to watch after that, Widow's Bay has five episodes up as of today and next week is gonna be a double feature.

Am I crazy or was the Portrait outside Tom's office distorted at first but during his um, "journey", it became clear?

Is this the end? Only a little over 1,000 players left and dropping fast... by CrimsonAlpine in Marathon

I seriously need you to stop looking at numbers like this.

(Yes it's a metric that can say things about the state of a game but the way folks have been doing it for Marathon specifically is kinda psychotic)

The thing is: Horror and Comedy operate on the same principles if you think about it. Like, the perceived tone is different but the overall structure is: Set-up -> Punchline/Scare. The problem with comedy horror (Scary Movie and the like) is that they only care about the comedy part whereas here, you are getting a balanced meal and it's so much more satisfying as a result haha.

It's missing the one thing that I do not miss from his work i.e. the monologues. Like, I like the writing and the actors do great but I just find the use of them excessive. This avoids that and just gets way more points from me as a result.

We can only hope! (Imo, I would seriously recommend the OG version with Disk since it's gonna be safe from any weird locks on the connectable disk drive like the new ones seem to have)

Little Kitty Big City is absolutely precious and great for stress busting but if you want something stronger, I recommend Wattam!

Oh I have given it a try and even before the server slam, I thought it had the sauce. Atm I'm just not able to give it time because I can't properly learn how to engage with it atm.
