Zendaya is black? Since when?
I have only read the first book so far (there are three in total). The first book ends where episode five ends. Episodes 6-8 apparently have bits taken from books 2 and 3.
That fits with our current understanding of the laws of physics.
What "anti-Chinese" propaganda did you see in the TV show that was not present in the book? I have read the book and I have just finished watching the show and the only negative depictions of China that I saw (the brutality and the depravity of the Cultural Revolution) were also present in the book, only even more prominent.
Interesting. I hate shaky cam as well but in this movie I didn’t even notice it. Am I getting used to it maybe?
I didn't read anything about it being a remake, but the concept is certainly not new. Just don't ask me to list other TV shows or movies with similar premises, as I can't remember a particular example.
Make sure you buy two copies, in case the first one gets damaged.
I honestly do not remember anything about the episode other than the scene where Homer tries to change the channel by shooting at the TV.
The implication that Phoebe was romantically interested in Emily Alyn Lind's character seemed very clear to me. I mean, there is plausible deniability of course, for the Chinese and the Arab markets, but I have little doubt that the intention was for the audience to think "lesbian teenagers".
I watched it the other day mostly out of my undying love for Kristen Bell and quite enjoyed it.
Fleabag was a fantastic comedy with brilliant, insightful dialogue like the now-classic line “I did a fart last night that was just like one of mum’s”, for which Phoebe Waller-Bridge deserves not only all the TV screenwriting awards in the world, but the Nobel Prize for Literature as well.
You missed Citizen Kane!
According to Wikipedia, there is also Bergman’s Wild Strawberries, but I don’t know how it fits.
I thought the meal scene could be a reference to a Rohmer movie, since Mort mentions “Claire’s Knee”.
For what it is worth, I didn't like Shin Godzilla at all, and I loved -1.0.
I couldn't agree more. I hate nose rings - but they are all too common nowadays, unfortunately.
Yeah, I enjoyed it as well, though of course not nearly as much as the original, which to this day is my favourite sitcom of all time.
I 'll be happy if it lasts a few seasons, but I won't be terribly disappointed if it doesn't.
I don’t remember, probably around s12-13. For years I didn’t watch it at all, then about ten years ago I started watching an episode here and there, found that it wasn’t so bad, and eventually went back to watching it regularly.
The “jump the shark” moment for me was an episode where Homer gets a gun and at one point uses it to shoot at the TV to try to change channels, because the remote is not working or has been lost, and he’s too lazy to get up. That was just so unbelievably stupid and unfunny that it made me finally stop watching, after a few years of being less than fully satisfied with the quality of new episodes.
I went to see it today in Canada on an IMAX theatre that was packed!
I assume that it is because it is a prequel of sorts to the very first Godzilla movie from the 1950s, as it takes place at an earlier date. That one was Zero, this one in Minus One.
If a house or a car is used in drug crimes, the state can legally confiscate it, and later sell it at auction. Most people wouldn’t buy a house in an auction, because I imagine you can’t finance it, you probably have to pay the full amount right away - but if you have deep pockets you may be able to buy it below market value and quickly sell it for a profit.
“Infesting” is not the right verb, but the idea is that the houses are seized by the state and later sold at auction, certainly fetching a lower price than if they were being sold by the owners directly.
