Gilmore Girls: Die, Jerk (2003)
Let's be real, Rory is right.
Let's be real.
The ballet was probably really bad.
The episode is perfectly fine. Has anyone actually ever read a real review? If a journalist thinks it's bad, they have a right write their opinion.
"You must have a lot of ballet experience since you write about with such authority". You don't need to be a musician to appreciate music.
The ballerina said she'd been practicing ballet for what? 7 years? And yet she falls on her entrance, accidentally kicks her co-ballet-guy and isn't in shape to be lifted by him.
I'm overweight and journalists (and everyone)
are allowed to state their opinion. The roll around the bra strap, I've noticed that on women that women that aren't overweight. But if it's that prominent then Rory Gilmore is right to blame the costume designer.
But the bottom line, the ballet was bad and the ballerina was surprisingly bad despite the years of training and Rory simply observed and wrote as she was told to do.
Friends: The One on the Last Night (1999)
Another episode of Rachel being a horrible person and a terrible friend
I have what is probably an unnatural hate for Rachel. All the friends have annoying quirks and bad moments, but in my estimation Rachel has the most. And the rest of them, the things they do are forgivable and I would like them in real life, I don't think Rachel would make sense in real life. She is arrogant and selfish and completely out of touch with reality.
In this episode she inconveniences Monica so much and insults her. She diminishes her relationship with Chandler as if their relationship means less because he lives near by and they were friends first. She also makes fun of her for supposedly not getting calls from anyone besides her mom and boyfriend.
Then she says it should be Monica who should move instead of her. It has sentimental value for Monica since it was her grandmother's apartment. She is so unreasonable with so many things, I could fill a book about how much she bugs me.
I know they make up at the end, but the things she said and did should not be so easily forgiven in my opinion.
Salinui chueok (2003)
I am flabbergasted
I don't know if it's just that it doesn't hold up today, but I just watched this movie with my parents because of the reviews and we are all confused.
People were saying it was disturbing and haunting, but they just made police brutality goofy and accomplished nothing.
I get that it's based on a real story and the guy only confessed after the statute of limitation was up, but it was a weird af murder mystery to tell.
Why not then actually focus on the police brutality?
They literally had all the pieces to the puzzle, but just kicked people in the head instead of putting the pieces together.
Those are 2 hours of my life I'm never getting back just to tell a story that went absolutely nowhere.
Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)
As a fan, I feel like they made fun of us.
The 3 stars are frankly just because it was cool to see the animatronics in physical form.
But they had them build a fort.
I feel slightly offended, like, is this what they've chosen to do with this franchise?
Cringey lines.
There were some nice Easter eggs, but people saying it's for the fans, I just don't see it.
The fans are the ones who are so deeply in it that all those weird discrepancies are just really unsatisfying.
But truly, that fort building scene was such a low point cause what the actual heck?
I truly wanted to like it, but it felt like the director didn't take it seriously.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Teleporting?
Messy plot. Giant locusts? And... The way it randomly jumps in time. I appreciate that they suddenly threw feathers on a lot of the dinosaurs, but how can they be running across the ice at the biosyn hq and then suddenly in the forest in the next scene? And Ramsey being all "I'm nothing like you" Also at the biosyn hq and then suddenly at the tower in the forest with the other, IN THE NEXT SCENE!
It was all... Very messy. You can redeem a lot off of Jeff Goldblum being the comic relief and getting the whole team, old and new, together, but overall there were so many weird and loose ends and things that went unexplained.
Robin Hood (2018)
Thank god for Rocketman
I loved Taron Egerton from watching Kingsman and it makes me so sad that he said yes to this movie, but at the same time I'm thankful that he did Rocketman not long after so people can look over this and appreciate him for that.
A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding (2018)
If you expect it to be exactly what it is... then you won't be disappointed.
Sure it had a soap opera plot, but I knew exactly what I was asking for when I started watching this movie. Of course it's now an amazing, meaningful Oscar-winning movie, but I don't understand how people even expect that. I mean did you read the title?
As a cute, typical, royal romance and Christmas movie, I think it delivers. Yeah it's cheesy, but of course it is! I watched the first one and it's the same thing! I think it's a charming, cheesy, Christmas romance. That's what I wanted to watch when I started the movie, and that's what I got!
NOT DISAPPOINTED. And Rose McIver is adorable!
Hemlock Grove (2013)
It's weird but I like it!
The thing about this show is that it's really weird and kinda random, but I personally think that it's a cool feature! It takes the supernatural element to a whole new level.
I'm always negative when starting a new show and this one definitely caught off guard and kept me on toes. If you're not attentive enough, you won't get it. I usually don't like shows like that because I like watching something while I'm doing something else.
The special effects aren't great, but I mean it's Netflix (no offense, I use a lot of time on it). I don't know about the acting, I think it may seem a bit off to some people because the show just is bizarre but I just think it's really cool! I'm not done watching, but I like that it's only three seasons long because a lot of shows just go on for eternities, finding new problems for them to solve so the producers can earn more money. I think it's very genuine that it isn't 10 seasons long! I know it's probably because it's based on a book and they didn't have more material to work with. I haven't read the book so I don't know if they're using the book as a guideline, but it doesn't stop some producers that they don't have more books as long as they can make money. So I like that it has an end.
There's a lot of gore, which I usually like, still do, but again, this caught me off guard AND I LIKE IT!
UPDATE: Okay so I finished the whole thing and the first season was undeniably the best one. Everything was so fresh and new, but then it just goes downhill and they drift apart. Then there's the dragon... Yeah I know, BUT! It isn't "just because" THEY HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT SINCE SEASON 1!!! So it's actually okay.
As a conclusion, I'm glad I watched the whole thing, even with the way things ended. In the end I think they both got what they deserved even if it didn't end well for them. Roman killed Destiny and I really can't forgive him for that, so if I ever decide to rewatch Hemlock Grove, I'll stick to the first season, but I do not regret watching it all.
