Movies A24 - Civil War Trailer - 2024

So despite thinking this is a fundamentally ill-conceived subject I wasn't going to not see it as a curious person and general Garland fan. As a movie, I thought it was mostly brilliant. The direction, cinematography, SOUND, music, composition, etc, every aspect of film making was top-notch. The decision to follow journalists was wise and well-integrated, and the road trip setup was pure Americana. The only other movies I can think of that made me sweat this much were The Hurt Locker and Hereditary. Somehow every loud noise, no matter how telegraphed, startled me. Overall, I don't think the movie should exist, but it was also a spectacular spectacle. Ending: I also enjoy that the post-release reception seems to be 'big whoop.' The movie wanted to have it both ways in terms of courting controversy, and ultimately its release and reception seem to have had very little cultural impact. Two rappers beefing has caused orders of magnitude more buzz than this movie, and that just tickles me. -

Never judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree or Tarantino by his ability to count. -
Television Hazbin Hotel Season 1 trailer.

I also bounced off after about 1.5 episodes. I gave it a try since it had positive buzz, and I thought the song was pretty neat but the style of dialogue just wasn't doing it for me. -
Television Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12 Trailer
Moa replied to skillzdadirecta's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I cannot believe that this show began in 2000. It’s been a while since I watched the earlier seasons but I really don’t associate it with that era. -
Solid episode, didn't realize the season was over though. I do wish the show was a little less coy with what the viltrumites are actually up to. They're basically offering fully automated luxury gay space communism, but everyone reflexively knows that they're evil because of the way that they are. I just wish someone would ask them a follow up question like, hey if what you have to offer is so great why are you enacting genocidal violence to make us take your great offer. It would be really funny if there actually is no catch, life with the viltrumites is perfect and we're just such a suspicious evil species that we can't recognize altruism when we're looking it in the face. Though that doesn't really work considering Omni-man's solution to the trolley problem.

I finished the season and am generally disappointed. There are plenty of nits to pick, but overall one of the best things about the books is how huge everything feels and the way the scope constantly expands. This was largely missing from the show due to the aggressive remixing of the plot and localizing all the central characters as a group of friends who already happened to know each other at the beginning of the show. It'll never happen, but considering the warring Three Body Problem shows going on, the real perfect choice would be Damon Lindelof and HBO heading up an adaptation.
