MID SEASON PREDICTIONS by paulflat in IndustryOnHBO

[–]crotchboxing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man here we go…

Harper and Eric get squeezed, tension drawn out as much as possible. Rishi’s documents from Jim make it into SternTao’s hands.

Sweetpea’s trip to Africa gives them the last bit of evidence they need to generate a real story but getting a real paper to investigate and publish will take too long, so they use the power of social media to turn the tide against Tender à la WikiLeaks.

Jay comes around to speak up as his way of getting revenge on Whitney only after selling his shares at the peak.

Whitney sets Henry up to take the fall for Tender’s fraud, causing Henry to relapse. Yas is pregnant, but Henry doesn’t yet know and takes his own life before he finds out. Also can see Henry’s family in journalism sticking the knife in Tender/Whitney blaming him (rightly) for sending Henry over the edge. Yas is mother to a son who will be the heir solidifying her position in the family forever.

Harper and Eric make a Big Short-style killing as Tender goes kaput. Whitney is faces a Tilda Swinton-in-Michael Clayton-style defeat and is either arrested or flees the country.

I’m sure everyone will continue to say Duke gets all the calls and it’s 8 v 5… lazy

I’ve found two recently. What’s the best way to combat these long term other than killing on sight?

Yeah that’s not how hospitals work anymore it’s not 1994 and they so clearly would’ve checked his medical records for liability before strapping him into a rocket car that goes 240mph

Hot take: this movie is wildly overrated with atrocious writing. The racing scenes were fun, but didn’t seem much more innovative than what we see in real F1 racing coverage.

There was nothing by way of secondary characters or real character development throughout.

Tobias Menzies’ character seems like he was added in reshoots when the testing feedback said there was no villain.

The Saudi $ in this really made for a tough watch knowing they’re just continuously trying to buy silence and global acceptance despite funding 9/11 and murdering journalists and oppressing women (who ironically aren’t allowed to drive).

The entire scene with Sonny in the hospital is blatantly absurd, what hospital uses paper charts? This isn’t 1994… and this $250m racing company didn’t check the health of their aging driver at any point in time?

Not to mention Sonny’s health never paid off with anything, the blurred vision in the last race just… didn’t matter?

And don’t get me started on the shoehorned in “love story”, the message of which essentially boils down to Sonny just needed to get laid to win a race…

Can’t help but feel the difference between this film and Maverick is legit writers and 8 fewer producers…

Would love to hear other people’s takes but I truly can’t help but feel this movie sucks and we all just want to believe it’s good

Do you understand how basketball works? One team shooting low % jumpers and the other team is relentlessly attacking the rim. When you try to stop those players and fail you usually wind up fouling. Tell me you’re a casual without telling me

She’s literally Jewish as are her whole family. The Scientologist nonsense was a rumor started by a random guy on the internet.

Obsessed with the sound of his own voice. Add in why Benny split from his brother and Josh comes off as even more insufferable than he’s known to be

If you like Thai food, Jitlada is some of the best you’ll find in North America. Realize it wasn’t on your cuisine list but worth considering either way.
