I liked Ryan Kwanten in True Blood even if Jason Stackhouse was an idiot, this is a black box theater piece with the looks of a Marvel budget. The plot is a little broad strokes and we're coming in well under 90min, but it's a fascinating movie to watch. I did not like the the cliche of a Person of Color being the first on-screen death, but otherwise bravo all around.

Even after nine seasons this is the best show on tv. I'm crying after that ending. Jillian Bell and Brooke Dillman are terrific. The Puff Divers were brilliant.

I've been following Ti West since House of the Devil, and this is the closest he's gotten back to that. Not that it's important to be in the same vein as a past work but I loved that movie, and I LOVED this movie. First of all it's gorgeous, what he's done with the light and color and shadow is incredible, you are IN 1979 watching a movie about 1979. You could watch it with the sound off and still be captivated. Everyone was good, but I was so happy to see Martin Henderson, 20 years since The Ring and he has only gotten better, easily the best male actor. Brittany Snow was perfect, but Mia Goth worked her behind off in this one. Her character is part Roller-Girl and part Sydney Prescott, but Mia was in the Suspiria remake, which I also loved, and after she must have thought, "one day I'm gonna out-Tilda Tilda," and she did her damndest to accomplish that in this one. Hopefully this is her breakout. I thought it was a *good* movie, until they get to the part where Jenna Ortega says THE THING, and then it became a GREAT movie, bravo, everyone.

I remember being FURIOUS that after waiting something like six weeks The Office came back to Season 6 with a clip show. I couldn't believe they were doing a clip show at all. At this point that sort of gimmick was anachronistic. I rewatched it recently and now I realize a clip show is indeed an old fashioned idea because it harkens back to a time before streaming or DVDs or even reruns. Shows would do a clip show as filler sure but you got to see stuff from episodes you might have missed or just forgotten, in this one there is also a lot of deleted scene material so it's not all old jokes. There's the short P&J retrospective, and you appreciate just how far you've watched the two of them come and this season we already saw them get married and in the wedding clip they sort of allude that we'll also see Pam deliver, maybe they had to do a clip show as an homage to what exactly the show had become at that point. Isn't my rewatching of the series the same concept, to try and relive how great it was, twelve years ago?

Paul Lieberstein always has Michael descend into the lowest depths of madness, running around whispering about Stanley like some malevolent imp, it's so painful. And then the rumors! When Andy asked Michael if he was gay I lost it.

Honestly, what was this? They have really driven Grace's character into the ground, she already had an improbable survival but what even was happening? Kudos for advancing the plot albeit in a ridiculous way.

Everytime I was done being freaked out they added another layer, I held my whole body rigid through 90% of it. Stephen Lang is CREEPY AF!

Other than that my toddler loves it and refuses to watch anything else.

It's unfortunate the cynical motives of bad faith actors combined with unforeseen circumstances caused this movie to be delayed, reviled, and delayed again. It gets a bad rap but it is great. All the most "huh?"-inspiring, Lost-ian Lindelof elements, combined with a TERRIFYING Betty Gilpin. She is incredible. The final fight scene alone is reason enough that more people should be watching and talking about this movie.

There's not a lot to look back on season 9 for except for this cold open, "good for you for not seeing race" kills me.

Over half of this is boring dreck and then there's a fifteen minute long cut of them sitting in a tent, followed by the end you most likely predicted at the beginning. Why is this so highly lauded by some? Even worse than those Bad Ben movies on Prime.

This show lost its way a long time ago, I can't defend it anymore. All the post-COVID episodes have been bad but this one inexcusably so. If you haven't read the comics I can't tell why you would even care about Princess enough to see a Princess-centered episode. And the random holes in the train car? A guy in full armor with a rifle getting jumped by some random unarmed crazy person? COME ON. It was a even dumber then that one where Michonne killed all those kids, more than that guy pulling the pin on a grenade while standing three feet away and all Daryl does is brush off some "human dust" or whatever that was supposed to be. Shame, shame on the writers.

I am a little amazed at the manic reaction from the zealots. I would have said it seemed risky to have leaned a little heavily on sitcom humor from a thousand years ago in order to carry the first two episodes over the finish line. I got absolutely nothing out of this so far besides Paul Bettany making it slightly less unwatchable. Where is this going? Will we see something down the road that will make us go back and watch for things we missed the first time? Will the payoff even be worth it by then? Will the chance of that make me keep watching?

The reverse chronological order might seem like a gimmick but what an experience, one of a kind.

I have see A Serbian Film but hands down this movie's plot was infinitely more disturbing. This is funny?
