So excited to have Ritter back in this role!

I watched this again recently. What a crazy episode. They shouldn't have lived. And that entity... WTH. Haha.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

Yep. Makes sense.

This week at home, Clue was playing for the umpteenth time. Week before that, I am pretty sure I heard Back to the Future again.

I also have another category--introducing my kids to something from my childhood. Those can be hit or miss for them.

Oh, how I wish that were true. 😁

You know what, I will modify the idea. I think I shall pack my laptop up and work the rest of the day at home. Beats being here.

Plus, I deserve it. I made the shot

The empty post it label thing was oddly shaped. I wasn't sure I would make the shot since it is a couple of meters away.

I made the shot.

Thanks for the new inclusive naming.

Subscribed. Thank you.

I was hoping for a gender neutral variation.

I probably wouldn't either, but that would be pretty abnormal for me anyway. There's a very small subset of films that I watch more than once.

What kind of movies do you find yourself rewatching?

It was on my watchlist for a bit and I finally got to it today. The themes were heavier, especially with Simon's (Jack Quaid) mental health. I couldn't say how accurate his portrayal of paranoid schizophrenia is, but it was more than enough for me to really feel for him.

It's one of the first times I've watched Jeffrey Dean Morgan in something since I stopped watching The Walking Dead (because of his character, actually). In this movie, Deerman is quite a mess of a human, but he makes up for it.

Overall, I enjoyed the film. I really appreciate how they ended it. I wish there was an epilogue so I could know what happens to Simon.

What did you all think?

Sounds good. The boost app doesn't show active users in the community search, so I wasn't sure. Thanks.

Ugh. I want to finish what remains, but this is disappointing to hear.

What's it take for executives to be willing to finish out a show properly? Sheesh

Definitely love the books and Rosamund Pike. 💜

If I'm being honest, had I not read the book series, I probably would have stopped watching the TV show after a few episodes. It's the most expensive cheesy quality tv show made. It's as if day time soap operas and B cinema had a baby. 🤣

As for the books, Jordan definitely borrows Tolkien themes early on. Things diverge pretty quickly as characters develop though. Jordan was an incredible world and character builder. So incredible that people wondered if he could ever finish the series. Haha. 😬

 

I know, it's not the books. Not even close, but someone finally made a series. It was painful at times, but it grew on me. And now... it's done. Worse still, I've learned it was cancelled.

sighs

I feel so sad. I wanted to see where it went. But alas, another show cancelled.

Well... I've been wanting to re-read the 15 books. Maybe now is the time.

What about you all? Did you feel the love-hate as well? Are you sad? Indifferent?

There's so much to detest about the president of the United States, but setting his targets on the pharmaceutical industry might actually turn out to be beneficial for citizens. Maybe.

I'm sure this executive order, like most of his, will be challenged (and rightfully so). His motivation is clearly focused on the US budget rather than benefiting citizens struggling with healthcare costs. However, I wonder if this might actually get the ball rolling with some much much needed reform. One can hope?

 

I've watched season 1 through 6 and there definitely were more than one episodes that just left me feeling like crap... But there's so many incredible episodes intermixed, like San Juniperno, that has made me keep coming back.

Today I watched the first episode of season 7, Common People, and... I just can't. It's done me in.

I have a question for those who have watched the remainder of the episodes. Are there any episodes that end on any sort of positive note or are they all this dreadful?

Maybe it's just not for me anymore. I get the premise behind Black Mirror, but there is something about this episode that just kind of shoved me past a point that I'm not sure it's worth it for me to keep watching.

 

To prism.

It's a light sentence, but gives them time to reflect.

 

Monica Lewinsky on the reclamation of her life, bullying, and her podcast on reclamation.

I get that she was caught within a political scandal, but what happened to her and since then is so much more than that. I hope this video isn't removed because of what happened in the past. This is quite literally the first time I've seen her since the late '90s and it was such a breath of fresh air to see her being treated so wildly different than back then.

I thought it was worth sharing and I think it's important to remember that the people involved in "scandals" like these are real humans like us, deserving of being treated with dignity and compassion.

Yeah, affairs suck, but hypocrisy suck more. This is a private matter and people need to mind themselves before they mind others and their doings. What was done to her was terrible and I'm so glad to see her picking up pieces of her life.

 

This show was honestly such a special gem. 💜💜💜

I'm going to miss all the cleverness, great writing, and loads of fun. I wish I could be friends with all the characters. Boimler and Mariner's relationship is so wonderful. I want IRL friends like all of them. 🙃

So long Lower Deck.

Engage the core.

So I just watched this trailer. I can't figure out if I should be laughing or scared. It's Paul Rudd, so I definitely want to see it. I have no idea what's going on though...

Does anyone have the scoop on what this movie is actually about?

I see this often and wonder how much I miss as a result. Imgur links neither render as a link nor an image. I only know it's a link to an image when I view it the same post via the WebUI or another app. I don't even realize these are images most of the time and just scroll past.

Is it simply not being handled yet? A bug? Design decision?
