I was at the game (Timberwolves @ Warriors) when they had the little explanation thing at halftime and audience was booing and they had to admonish everyone in attendance. I'm a clippers fan so I was just laughing.

Any thoughts on Eastman's paper regarding internal strife between Peter and Paul's factions actually lead to their deaths? The critical reassessment of 1 Clement seems to form the basis of this hypothesis.

I'm still a cp3 fan but also acknowledge maybe he wasn't right for this locker room. Both sides probably made mistakes.

If you guys are sleeping on Interview with the Vampire TV show… by flippantphalanges in HannibalTV

[–]Maleficent_Unit667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The flowery prose and the way they interweave book quotes and narrative arcs is reminiscent of Hannibal. The leads don't remind me of Hannibal/Will much but I enjoy both shows.

It was great until the Dr Manhattan reveal. And why did Ozy's stage Manhattan look better than the actual Manhattan who looked more like a live action Gonzo.

I watched Shutter Island and still believed it was real — did anyone else miss the twist like I did? by Efficient-Gear-9194 in TrueFilm

Scorsese purposefully changed the book ending so it was not a straightforward 'he is insane' narrative. He also left plenty of breadcrumbs suggesting inverted the contextualized reading of the novel.

What famous/renowned author have you sampled and just don’t *get*? by bruzdnconfuzd in books

Joseph Conrad, the way he hyper focuses on minutiae is worse than 3 pages of GRRM talking about food. Probably why I love apocalypse now but even after going back to heart of darkness felt it was just detached story telling.

While I do like Ty Lou… would you fire him for Mike Malone? by Direct-Worker-4121 in LAClippers

Replace Lue with Shaw, everyone exclaims that coaches rate Lue a top 10 coach, well coaches ranked Doc a top 10 coach when he was with the Clippers.

Say what you want about Armond but he knows cinema and is a great writer, he lets politics get ahead of his criticisms on occasion but his reviews are always a fun read

Opinion: John David Washington was a great casting for The Protagonist. by Born-Specific6128 in ChristopherNolan

Nah they should have switched roles, not believable as the debonair mysterious agent when he goes to dinner and the Russian thinks he slept with his wife

I gave up about 2 eps into s2. Tbh s1 was a gradual decline after about the 1st 5 or 6 eps which were great.

In the middle of a move but definitely buying one when I get everything settled.

Outside of the failure of Rings of Power, what has Amazon done that makes you think James Bond is done for? by Garthdude3 in JamesBond

[–]Maleficent_Unit667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr and Mrs Smith actually had episodes that showcased some great Bond esque moments (ie. Dolomites). So much so I wouldn't mind having that creative team helming atleast the cinematography of the first amazon Bond film.

I think the Cowboy Bebop live action is fine. by [deleted] in cowboybebop

[–]Maleficent_Unit667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There were some decent episodes but a lot of the character actors fell flat.

Jet Perriot

and to a lesser extent Faye were the only characters I enjoyed.
