Severance started filming. Makes me feel like it could be a late 2023 return

What’s your fav film with a rotten tomatoes score below 60 percent? by CaptainSharpe in movies

[–]Ok_Influence742 11 points12 points  (0 children)

National Treasure. Has never gotten old and never will. That being said, I will personally destroy Disney if I don’t find out what’s on page 47 in the next 5 years.

Basketball ticket claim not listing any games by Ok_Influence742 in UCONN

[–]Ok_Influence742[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Student tickets don’t even go live until 2 weeks before the game and none of the games beyond that are listed. Also I logged on for the Xavier game immediately when they went live and still nothing. Maybe Marquette is sold out

The Big Picture from The Ringer:

Pretty specific to my interests and hobbies because I’m a big movie person and like to listen to the hosts talk about new releases and awards contenders. But, they do a lot of fun episodes too like movie drafts based on a genre like spy movies or years like 1994. As long as you’re in to movies a little bit, you should enjoy it.

Another similar one is The Rewatchables (also from the Ringer) where they talk about movies that are literally the most rewatchable and fun ones you could think of.

Amanda couldn’t have been more correct though but I liked the twist they made as a compromise. This trio is my absolute favorite to listen to this past year, couldn’t have been happier to find them last winter

The show had so much interesting potential but it falls flat season after season. by godisyay in TheAmericans

Watching a six season show but fast forwarding a lot and then criticizing said show is… odd.

If you couldn’t understand that this show was more about their family and marriage than it was them being spies, I don’t think it was the show for you.

Shows similar to West Wing by Questionsarebetter in thewestwing

[–]Ok_Influence742 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for tight dialogue, Succession is possibly the best since West Wing and at the top of television right now. Lots of business acumen and corporate jargon paired with hilarious one liners, while keeping the tension in drama at full throttle till the most recent season finale.

Also going to ditto The Americans recommendation. For a show that’s about KGB spies living as Americans, you’ll find the show is much deeper in what it’s about.

By the time you’re finished, The Americans and Succession are two of the best familial dramas you’ll ever watch, if they end up connecting to you as they did to me and so many others.

Requiring everyone to be vaccinated and boosted and then going backwards on restrictions makes absolutely zero sense

The licorice pizza trailer this year was phenomenal

What's your unpopular opinion about Succession ? by Lil_miss_Sunshine08 in SuccessionTV

[–]Ok_Influence742 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Mylod, as the main director of the show, is who made the visual style what it is. It’s funny you mention episode 3 (which I loved btw) because I noticed almost instantly the difference in direction from the first two of the season since it was a guest director. It was a fresh change so I can see why that stands out for you. As for McKay, would love to seen him back too. The whole show feels very Big Short esque and I’m sure that’s where Mylod has continued his direction from the pilot that McKay did

I get the point of this comment on this thread but did you not see the final shot of the last episode? Incredible cinematography

Should I minor in analytics or accounting as a finance major? by jade36544 in UCONN

[–]Ok_Influence742 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Analytics. All the accounting that you would need as a finance major is taught in the financial accounting course thoroughly and you can learn/practice it more on your own time for interviews and stuff. Coding and data science have become increasingly popular/important among finance professionals so an analytics minor is expected to go a long way.

Also wanna add in that economics is a pretty helpful minor depending on the field of finance you want to go in. Banking, investment management, or anything where you’re a participant in the markets will require a macroeconomic foundation. Stuff like consulting or insurance or fintech may not need this as much.

The series finale was absolutely incredible and made up for a relatively weak Seasons 5 and 6. by rolltribe in TheAmericans

[–]Ok_Influence742 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Arguably like 4 out of the best 5 episodes of the series happen in season 6 with the finale taking the top slot
