Chrome on desktop doesn't let me in. Edge did, along with a bunch of warnings about the site (I had to give permission to ignore the security warnings).

I thought Squid Game was far better than it had a right to be, I was expecting... well, nothing. Another similarly themed one on Netflix is Alice in Borderland (based off the manga). The scoring reminded me of Michael Giacchino (his work on Lost) a bit, it really ups the emotional reverb of the...

Yeah, it's been awhile, but I remember enjoying parts of Season 2 but then it kind of spiraled back into conventionality and I was kinda like... eh. They did make better use of Alison Pill at least, in terms of leaning into her strengths. I really enjoyed Season 3 and it was an example of how...

Yup, a bot viewing a page typically gets counted as a page view, in general -- it's hitting the page. There are not hundreds of lurking members out there to generate that many views. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/bots/what-is-bot-traffic/

Hey, if you enjoyed it, that's great. I think I've just seen so many crazy films that it didn't stand out as much to me. It was kinda like Gunpowder Milkshake, which I also badly wanted to love but was kinda lukewarm to as well, after having seen Kill Bill 1 and Ready or Not and The Hunt and...

I found Bullet Train disappointing, and I shouldn't have bought the 4K sight unseen. It's not bad, it's just derivative and not as good as every movie it was aping -- including, yes, Tarantino style flicks. I felt like the pacing was bad too; it was billed as a frantic action picture, and it's...

I agree that a lot of walls were broken in general in the past, although lately there's been a glut of MCU-related women characters who seem to be short-changed unless they are in the process of being killed off, which is weird. There's less of them, so they stand out more, but I'm not that...

I was excited about She-Hulk (I was buying comics off the rack when Byrne was writing her in the 80's) and thought it might be one of the few saving graces of MCU Phase 4. Boy was I wrong. This has just been a terrible disappointment. The show wasn't quite as bad as Falcon/Winter Soldier and...

It sounds like you missed the point. The gist was that the studio was planning to make a movie regardless, and the Wachowskis didn't really want to make another, but figured it would be better if they did it so that the property wasn't trivialized and butchered by the studio for money. This...

Despite the title, it's being written by two award-winning indie writers/directors, so yes I'd expect it to be more nuanced and complex. (Have you ever heard of or seen some of these films: - The Squid & The Whale - Marriage Story - Ladybird - Frances Ha - Fantastic Mr. Fox - The Life Aquatic...

Not sure about Barbie either, but it's got a good cast, and a great director and cowriters ... so... i'm ... curious? I mean, how can you possibly turn this into an interesting film? But if anyone could, it's Gerwig and Baumbach.

Boy, this is old. As followup: Hereditary (and Midsommar later) is just great. It was a shame Toni Collette did not get the notice she deserved. Incredibles 2 was kind of eh. Not bad, some great action/animation sequences, but overall kind of disappointing, rather like how Pixar in general has...

Glad someone else has seen this. Totally agree with you, it really is art and in the hands of another director a film with this kind of plotline would have likely been far less -- they would have focused on the more banal elements. I think the only other thing I've seen by Ramsey was "We Need...

it took me a few episodes when the show first came out for me to get a feel for what was happening, the comedy and pacing and timing was not what I was used to. It ended up being one of my favorite TV shows I've ever seen, and I really appreciate the way they generally avoided cliche in the...
