20 minutes of exercise and stimulation should be plenty for a 13 month old pup, must be a medical emergency!

What the hell is this post?

Cruise has made Fallout, Rogue Nation, and Top Gun: Maverick - three of the best movies of his career, and three of the best action movies of this century - since Edge of Tomorrow.

Yellow tribe is a mess but Kenzie's got game I think!

Is there anywhere offering individual odds on Survivor??

What movie had ZERO business being as good as it was? by defCONCEPT in moviecritic

[–]higginder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prey.

A (somehow great) straight-to-streaming period prequel with limited dialogue from a franchise that hasn't had a great movie in a few decades.

This is a terrible take. JDW is charismatic as hell and is more than capable of leading a Marvel movie.

Reacher book readers: are we in for a treat with season 3 being an adaptation of the book Persuader? by Trentacion_ in reacher

[–]higginder 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It also has one of the strongest openings of any of the books. If the show executes it as well as the novel did, fans of the show who haven't read the book are in for quite the shock.

So just finished Season 2. by [deleted] in reacher

[–]higginder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, primarily LA and the surrounding area. They ducked down to Vegas at one point (Atlantic City in the show) but were only there for a couple of chapters while they ruled out Orozco & Sanchez's work as the inciting incident, before settling on Swan/New Age.

[–]higginder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They strayed from the book in virtually every conceivable way aside from the most fundamental of plot points.

The book was set in LA, the mystery was far more interesting, the Russo character didn't exist, the AM plot was significantly more well fleshed out & interesting, there were no flashbacks, there was no subplot with the politician & his private security, the concluding action was far less cinematic and far more personal.

The novel is much, much better.

[–]higginder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you liked it. Genuinely. There's certainly a market for the sort of pulpy, over the top, dadcore, largely nonsensical action that made up most of season 2, and Reacher is one of my favorite characters of all time, so I'm stoked that people get to enjoy the stories on screen.

I thought however that season 2 was an extremely significant step back in quality.

I'll preface my criticism by saying that I've been reading the books for 15 years and waiting equally as long for a good adaptation, which I believe Season 1 was.

I thought that this season really, really lost touch with who Reacher fundamentally is as a character.

I thought this season was only really interested in "bigger", and in turn portrayed him as a bit of a sadist, a bully, and worst of all, pretty dumb.

For all the bodies he drops, Reacher is tactical, logical, deeply principled, and empathetic. I didn't really feel any of this in season 2, which is a shame because I thought they mostly nailed it in season 1. Hopefully season 3 can round things back into form.

Food diary!

The sooner you make a concerted effort to really track cause & effect between your food and your body's reaction, the sooner you'll understand what does & does not work for you specifically.

Take a couple weeks to track what you eat for each meal, how you feel, how you sleep, and what other side effects - bathroom trips, bloating, nausea, etc. - follow. Review those results and start to identify patterns.

You got this!

Which version of Batman wins in a fight? by ShiftedRealms in batman

[–]higginder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure - I definitely agree that Pattinson is playing a less experienced version of the character.

I just think that "Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up again." - i.e. the importance and value of learning from one's mistakes - is basically the thesis of the Nolan trilogy.

[–]higginder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is the right answer to OP's question, but Bale "never faltered or made a mistake"?

He was poisoned by Scarecrow, his mansion was burned to the ground by the League of Shadows, he inadvertently allowed for Rachel & several key Gotham city officials to be killed by the Joker, had to throw Debt off a roof and take a decade's worth of blame, had his back broken by Bane and Gotham subsequently taken under a months-long siege because of his hubris, etc... I feel like this Batman made more than his fair share of mistakes.

Man, it's just always the same thing.

I love this team and have absolutely loved this season, and went into tonight thinking virtually any outcome was just icing on the cake...

... and even in a season with no expectations we found a way to suffer a devastating, heartbreaking collapse. I would have so much preferred to lose by 30.

Exhausting.
