I think you might be missing a critical piece of the science concerning the observer effect and superposition. The bit in your spoiler isn't sloppy or inferior visual storytelling: it's a (novel?) spin on the theory. The interference pattern can be observed (Henry can see it, and he can trace...
My best guess as to why Alice is entangled, and really why this entire story is occurring, is that it has something to do with a sort of "double observer" problem. This theory was reinforced by the callback in episode five to the line in episode one where Jo tells Alice to "wave to yourself"...
I'm not going to check the previous threads, but I'm like 99% certain that Tino has the best lifetime record for Oscar predictions.
I'm glad Emma won. Bravest and best performance of the year. She'll likely win the Emmy for her work in The Curse. I wish Poor Things would have won best picture...
Same. I use it a fair bit (probably too much) in legal briefs. Basically anytime I need bullshit (Alberta judges please stop reading) I say something like, "well, Justice Smith, this area of the law is rather inchoate in Canada, so...[insert BS]" or "well, Justice Smith, this is a fresh point of...
That's a good idea. The movie is loosely based on Much Ado About Nothing, so she could select a different Shakespeare comedy and adapt that with the same cast but different characters. Could actually carve out a pretty nice niche churning one of those out every few years.
The music for the Ron Moore BSG cemented Bear McCreary as one of the best TV composers of all time (his movie scores are good, but his TV scores are masterful).
I watched this on Thursday and liked it quite a bit.
Great visuals--even better than Part 1. The Harkonnen home world was utterly amazing. The "fireworks" were some of the coolest ideas I've seen in a while. The infrared (I think) shifting of the Bene Gesserit clothing was equally cool.
All...
I clocked that when I watched the episode. Additionally, the planet was M'talas prime, after showrunner Terry Matalas, and the crew operated out of District 7, which was an homage to the West VII scavenger group.
It's great to see A24 expand into genres such as horror (this movie) and action (Civil War).
This is produced in part by Emma Stone's Fruit Tree studio, which also made the utterly amazing show, The Curse.
I watched this tonight and quite liked it.
The cameos were fun, the script was witty, the performances were great (both Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan were good delivering the Coen-style dialogue), and the directing was solid. Without knowing ahead of time you could definitely tell...
Interestingly, Marvel introduced the "Siancong War" as a sort of stand-in conflict for WW2, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War (and, I think, the wars in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan). Whenever a character needs to have fought in a war, it's probably been retconned to the Siancong War. It's now...
The tragic thing about Madame Web is that a distilled version of the plot actually sounds...decent. I'll take a stab at it. Again, this is NOT the movie. This is a version of the plot that could have been, and I think the writers were aiming for but never quite hit.
Madame Web and Ezekiel Sims...
I'll start with the good:
Pepsi. Pepsi is the real star of the movie. Pepsi defeats the bad guy (not joking). Did I mention Pepsi? Because the movie wants you to know about Pepsi. Pepsi.
Sydney Sweeney and Adam Scott. They do the best with what the movie gives them. They both try to inject...
When the FF debuted in 1961, the general consensus was that it was 1961 in the comic. Reed and Ben served together in WWII. Ben was a Marine test pilot. I assume he and Reed were mid-20s during the war. Maybe a tad older? So if they were, say, 25 in 1945, then they would be about 41 in 1961...
I was a big fan from the start (more than most on this forum--maybe everyone?), and especially liked the darker war tone. Not everything needs to be a "gritty reboot" but I think it worked here. I still like the show, but my overall enjoyment diminished with each season--especially as Strange...
Grant me your strength, friends, for my spouse and I are going to this opening night!
The bad reviews are rolling in and, if I'm being honest, it's making me look forward to seeing this more. Sometimes you're just in a mood for a nice train wreck, non?
Because, quite frankly, that's not how the industry works anymore. The studios don't analyze the sales of BDs and then make the tactical decision to release a 4k UHD because the BD sales were so strong.
I'm not some corporation's sucker. It's not my role to buy something in the faint hope that...
I mean the fact that there is already an option to get a physical copy of The Holdovers sort of supports my waiting strategy. I give it about a year or so, and then I reluctantly buy whatever physical version is available. I've already seen these movies in the theatre. I'm not going to re-watch...
