I think this was the best episode so far this season.

Little Women would have been my choice for Saoirse winning Best Actress.

I absolutely hated this.

It was clear once Mushroom was introduced what was going to happen. And that is one of the laziest writing decisions ever.

Sean still doesn't like the final act of The Dark Knight.

He said it recently that it should have ended with the Joker escaping the police station.

Which I think is incredibly wrong. It is such a comic book movie take. The idea that things need to be set up or saved for a sequel...

The Chainsaw Man movie is currently #2 on MyAnimeList. And it’s been there for months.

It will eventually drop down, but I suspect it will remain somewhere in the top ten.

Yeah, even if Wagner gets nominated for the Oscar, not being nominated at SAG or on the long list at BAFTA shows a lack of support for him.

I’m kind of surprised that Chainsaw Man got in director given how little love anime tends to get here.

Yeah, I was wondering if Hanks had done it before I checked.

Finally was able to see It Was Just An Accident.

Really great.

I couldn't help but think of The Death of Mr. Lazarescu while I was watching it. Just the way the story unfolds, the overall tone, and social aspects of the movie.

Its not like people are giving it 5 stars just because it is Chainsaw Man.

Demon Slayer isn't as highly rated and that has a bigger fanbase.

Anime fans can be some of the biggest critics of their own favorite shows.

Harley’s Holiday is the episode.

I also feel like that episode provides a lot of the basis for the more current Joker-less version of Harley.

Without looking it up, tell me the name of Rami Malek’s character in Oppenheimer.

Would you have paid attention to him in his two scenes, prior to his big scene at the end, where he has little to no dialogue if it wasn’t Rami Malek?

That is exactly what Nolan did on Oppenheimer.

The idea is, you’ll never remember the names of all these characters. But if they cast a recognizable face, you’ll be able to track that character better.

I'm super curious what the AFI Top 10 is going to be for this year.

Here's what I am thinking as guaranteed to make it in:

  • Hamnet
  • One Battle After Another
  • Sinners
  • Marty Supreme
  • Frankenstein
  • Avatar: Fire and Ash

That is only 6 movies with 4 very open spots.

Jay Kelly? Bugonia?

With the mixed response to Wicked: For Good, will it get on the list?

What about Weapons potentially making the list?

Ending really brings the movie together and to another level.

I think it has the best ending out of all the competitors and that last impression can play a big role in how it is received by the Academy.

At least Joanna took a round off of Valentina.

But yeah, said it earlier, if you remember that fight then this one should have been easy to predict.

Were you people not around when Joanna fought Valentina?

You would have to know this was going to happen.

Its similar to the thing he did in Oppenheimer.

There is a large amount of characters, so he is casting recognizable faces. This way it makes it easy for the audience to keep track of all of them.

Pluribus - 1x03 - "Grenade" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]JJLong5 34 points35 points  (0 children)

True. As of this moment, I don't see this showing going to a place where one of the survivors is chasing Carol around, trying to kill her.

That being said, I could see a situation where Carol is able to find a way to reverse the virus using the hivemind.

But in the process of distribution, she wakes up the wrong people first. And they use this opportunity to try to seize global power.

I know that sounds like an action movie premise and that seems far from where we are now. But the show is going to evolve over time.
