Eh.

Does not hold a candle to Watchmen or even Super in that subgenre

Left it after 3 eps, wasn't for me.

I bailed in the middle of the second episode.

Kind of late to this but I found Endgame a bit of a letdown compared to Infinity War (which I should confess really exceeded my expectations). I mean I don't know what the consensus is on the two of them.

It was nice watching Warren and Sanders combining to swat down the DINOs on stage today. Of course, as the field eventually narrows down, they'll be forced to differentiate themselves from each other, and their unofficial detente will break down - and you're damn right the media will make sure of it.

It's been a while since I saw The Train but I kind of remember that my main issue with it was Paul Scofield's character - Colonel von Waldheim. Maybe it's because the movie was released merely a generation after the end of WWII but the devolution of his character from this interesting, decent man in...

The Stanford Prison Experiment —a decent movie. It convincingly extracts an enormity of suspense and terror from a relatively benign concept through an obviously psychological lens.

There is nothing in that article about fandom.

I'm not sure I agree with this Bran/Iron Throne theory, or if it's a good thing at all. Of course it makes sense if the whole prophecy about Bran simply ended with the Night King, and him being this kind of Messianic figure (not sure where that leaves Jon who was conceived out of actual prophecy) de...

I don't understand how everyone doesn't have 8 last. It's a season of ruined character arcs, and uneven spectacle. Are there that many good things about it, or are other seasons really worse as a whole?
