follow-up to the micro-budget British slasher that went viral last year for its childhood-bludgeoning premise, became one of the most talked about films of 2023
I have literally never heard of the original movie.
Do ‘journalists’ just get to decide something is massively popular because two people talked about it on social media?
It’s also pretty damning to the franchise that all of the directors were already established–or like Gareth Edwards and Rian Johnson, are up-and-comers–who are generally seen as being better than the Star Wars films they were involved with.
Clearly the problem was not just the directors. The whole approach was fundamentally broken.
Says who?
Mayim Bialik will not be hosting Season 2 of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” as she continues to support the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Variety has learned from sources.
I see where you are coming from and I agree that due to the ease of modern communications “accountability” can easily be weaponized.
I am not sure how this relates at all to the “justice system”, however. Are private organizations only allowed to part ways with an employee because they committed crimes? This is not really about “guilt” that can be proven or disproven in a court case, and there are already mechanisms in place for people to be compensated if they can show that they were unfairly treated or if contracts were violated.
Maybe I got the episode that focused on his perspective the most? If the rest of the season is more like the first and doesn’t always portray him as sympathetic, I could get behind that.
I enjoyed the first season a lot, but I could not get into the second season. Lack of a similar framing device, missing some of my favorite actors (at least in the early episodes), but worst of all is, sadly, the performance by Richardson. From what I watched, the second season really leans into his “constantly talking to fill awkward silences” schtick. It was just too much. Nobody in real life acts or behaves that way and is not considered an asshole.
Odd choice to hire Jim “Adrenochrome” Caviezel, in that Case. Why not any other actor that is not already associated with this issue?
First off, credit given for writing up an explanation and posting in a public forum, even if I do think this is a crazy take that doesn’t stand up to pretty much any level of scrutiny.
And I say christian instead of religious, because she is clearly referencing the idea of a grand plan that is not present in polytheistic religions, she’s talking about god’s plan.
There is a colossal reach from “there is a god with a plan” to specifically Christianity. Judaism and Islam don’t get a chance to audition for the part at all, huh? And that’s just the Abrahamic traditions that directly share the only attributes you listed. There are plenty of other religions that fit, and that includes other monotheistic belief systems (which also begs the question, why is Christianity not categorized as polytheistic and why does that distinction matter at all?).
I’m also just going to assume you mean evangelical Christianity and not other sects, given the general unawareness of the subtleties of religion in general.
Just because a publication tries to tackle a topic doesn’t mean they are qualified, or that we should use that as an example of why the entire industry of journalism should be written off.
This is true, but the practical use of QR codes is almost always to encode a URL that points at something hosted traditionally, similar to how NFTs can contain unique data on their own but most of the time are actually pointing to a file hosted somewhere else. And that somewhere else could might probably will eventually fail.
I don’t like this idea at all. QR codes are just a different way of encoding a URL, so as soon as someone stops paying the hosting bill that extended credits document is gone. Credits are in the movie itself so they can’t be erased or forgotten. I highly doubt a web server for a movie, even an Oscar winner, is going to be online in 20-30 years from now.
I was surprisingly disappointed with Glover’s performance as Lando in Solo. It felt like an impression of Billy Dee Williams more than an earnest take on the character. Donald certainly has the raw charisma that Billy Dee had, which is really all the character was ever about since we knew nothing about his backstory or personal motivations. So, not sure what was missing, but it felt out of place when I watched the movie.
As with any performance it’s hard to know how much is due to the actor and how much from direction/editing, so I’m sure he can do the role justice. Assuming there’s a good script and everyone else is doing a good job, of course!
What are you talking about? “Innocent until proven guilty” is only relevant from the perspective of the law.
Please stop trying to force Sanderson to write a series his style would be horrible at and that he would not enjoy finishing.
Joe Abercrombie and Robin Hobb are still alive, among plenty of other excellent grimdark fantasy authors, if you must insist on naming a successor.
The number of people in this post that don’t understand the difference between a private company’s HR/PR decisions and the actual legal system is shocking.
This has nothing to do with the “justice system”. Private companies can make their own decisions.
Do you sit in the writer’s room? What information do you have that contradicts what actual writers and actors on the show have said about Roiland’s (lack of) involvement in later seasons?
Is it only possible to fire a toxic asshole because he committed crimes?
For what, appearing in a bunch of films as himself?
Never heard anything bad about Pine. Are you thinking about Chris Pratt, perhaps? Because he has certainly gotten some heat for his alleged affiliations with far-right religious/political groups (because those are the same things now, apparently).
