For me, it felt quite realistic, the way he turns pale as the scene goes on.
How he fades out, his conscience goes out and doesn't know what's going on, how he discovers he's been stabbed, is not like o shit I got stabbed, there's a process, denial first. He lifts his clothes to see if he really has been stabbed. How the whole scene plays out, for me, it felt quite real. I don't remember anything as close or accurate as this death.
Yeah, I've seen good deaths but quite dramatical, or theatrical (Reservoir Dogs comes to mind) this one for me was just real.
I am not talking about story-wise or how much impact it had on you because of your attachment to the character because then I would argue Bambi's Mother would be a relevant death as well or Darth Vader's and the list goes on and on.
I'm talking as to how real it felt, how crude it was how close to reality it felt, as much as I can imagine without seeing anyone die because of a gut stab.
Perhaps a 5 episode series. So they can develop it properly. But good god, this last episode had like 10' story-worthy time.
Anyway, I hooked, I loved the premise, and I'm liking the show overall, just looking forward to seeing how it wraps up.
Underrated title haha
I've always thought so, that Dr Strange in the MCU would easily beat non-stones/gauntlet Thanos.
However, it always bothered me. After rewatching IW again, I saw that Ebony Maw was stronger and more skilled than Strange in the MCU, at least in the first encounter, even with the Time Stone.
There, Ebony Maw fears Thanos and idolises him. I would assume he would not worship him if he could beat him and be him, Ebony Maw seems quite the narcissistic and puts himself above anyone he thinks less of him or less powerful.
An example: their first encounter in NY with Tony and Strange, which Ebony Maw says something like (I'm paraphrasing), are you (Strange) going to let this animal (Stark) speak for you?
So he kind of has Strange in a higher status than Stark, because of magic I guess but he has Strange lower than him, however, has Thanos ranked higher than him.
Therefore, is really Strange stronger than non-stones/gauntlet Thanos? I am not sure. My guess, in IW Thanos, would win in Endgame Strange would, just because of experience. Stange is quite still learning in IW. Not so much in Endgame.
could not agree more. Really looking forward to what he's going to do with Dune. Hopefully is well received with audiences and we get more than one film.
I think you just don't like his movies.
He has a particular and unique style which makes him who he is as a director. You just don't like it, which is fine.
Self-absorbed idiot? Maybe, what successful artist is not self-absorbed? And if you don't like him/her, or his/her art, probably for you is going to be an idiot, thus Self Absorbed Idiot.
For me, he's self-absorbed, sure; maybe a bit goofy. But since I like his stuff, for me he's quite amazing.
She dies because of a heart attack. When she starts smashing her house with a baseball bat. She den gets a heart attack.
After we see the son (<spoiler>the one that shoots Terry Maitland</spoiler>) and the father (<spoiler>the one that hangs himself</spoiler>) at the hospital while getting the news and brake.
Yup @exatera is right. The outsider takes the DNA to become that person, to be a copy of them. Then he goes and does one of arguably the worst atrocity you can do, rape and kill a child.
What I believe is that he feeds from grief, anger, and desperation. Once he's done the atrocity, he just waits and watches as the whole family collapses. Both the victims family (i.e. the child's parents, brothers, grandpas) and the "*perpetrator's" family (brothers of the killer, fathers and so on).
If the disaster is not moving forward as the outsider wants, he then posses or forces other people to run the peace at its will. You can tell who are the puppets by the rashes in his neck, such as the cop Jack Hoskins.
*which is actually the outsider.
I don't think they look that alike. What you can do is print two pictures of each actor and have them stick on the TV. OR on your phone.
On the other hand, Evil magic? Where do you get that from?
It might be a shapeshifter even maybe an alien (?) we'll have to keep watching to get more answers. It has indeed gone a bit down in pacing and such, but the pilot was just crazy it's impossible to maintain that level with the whole season. But in every episode, there are some reveals and evolution.
I'll keep watching.
I think it is a really well-made movie with lots of hidden messages and full of parallelisms through images and scenes.
The director made a piece of art. Well acted and with a decent storyline and twist.
Best 26th movie of all time, no...
Remember that has just come out, it's an Oscar candidate,, and people tend to rank movies higher when they come out and have this type of hype. I'm sure it will come down the list in IMDb.
First time I watched was alright, but it got better on second viewing and after seeing a few videos analyzing it, which I saw a lot of things that I missed on the first viewing.
Yup. He; Jack Hoskins, works in the same police station as Ralph (Ben Mendelsohn character). He's a drunk and quite an asshole.
An interesting thing and a theory I have is that when the little girl (Maya Maitland) explains to Ralph that the man that visits her told her that he (Ralph) should stop looking or bad things will happen, I believe the killer is using Jack (with the rash on his neck) to tell him to do things. Like feeding him the deer and buying all that shit that he then threw where he left the deer. Most likely, he will use Jack to do something to either Ralph or to his wife or to the Maitland family.
Yeah, I am not saying it is the most "felt" or the death that hit the hardest character-wise, or story-wise, but the best death made, realistically speaking. I've never seen anyone die by being stabbed but looked as real as it can get.
Taika Waititi is in the talks, we'll see how it goes.

He did something different indeed, and that I applaud. However, he just trashed the characters without any explanation that would convince any fan.
He then proceeded to waste about an hour of the movie with a subplot that is just stupid, yeah the casino heist thing, instead of spending time in giving background to the characters like Finn and Poe who desperately needed, make them evolve. The chemistry between Rose and Finn was inexistent, don't know why he decided to go with that. I liked much more what JJ did with Finn, Jannah and the other Storm Troopers defectors.
What he did to Luke is just so stupid that with that alone he proved he had no fucking idea about SW.
JJ planted the seeds for a great followup film, Johnson just said; nope, I want to do that other thing, and he fucked up.
I would avoid spoiling anything on the title. I know people who haven't seen it should avoid the internet until they do if they don't want anything spoiled, but this is just mean.
But yeah timeline is a bit odd, meaning hard to believe. But after the previous movie shitstorm, JJ made his best to wrap it up and avoid a disaster, which on first viewing I believe he did.
The last movie I left the movie trying to convince myself that the movie was okay and that everything was going to be okay, but I knew the movie was a bloody disaster. However this one I feel like the movie was okay, not great but okay, I'd say a 6/10 whereas the other was a 4/10.
PS: I just want a Rater R Revan movie...
After reading all the comments, I am now sure we found and inaccuracy in the Joker. There was no way they had the money to buy that kind of electronics.
And if they made the economic sacrifice to do so, it would've been nice for them to show it, as it would be a big moment for them. Who bought it Arthur as a gift to his mother who he loves so much (at least at the beginning) or perhaps his mother got it for him? Interesting to think who made that decision.
If Arthur did it, it would show how much he loved his mother and how much he changed him the movie, to the point of doing such a thing to her. Also, why did they bought it? Perhaps to just record Murray'0s program because they love it so much... all of those reasons would've given the characters more depth.
which was amazing and perhaps the best action movie of 2018.
He is know done with dramatic roles, for what his recent filmography is showing, but I am quite certain that it's not because he's bad at profound and complex characters but because he's just not interested in them at this point, he's still able to do stunts and fund his craziest dream action moves, and until he's not too old (if he ever is) I don't think he's going to take many dramatic roles.
(1/2) I think that Tom Cruise started off good with good movies and decent and trandescending roles,.
He started with The Outsiders (1983) which was a good movie with drama and such in a not one-dimensional character, then he moved into RIsky BUsiness, the same year, and All the Right Moves all in the same year, 1983.
Those moves where the first one, gang drama, the second COmedic Drama, third Sports Drama, so mainly drama, the movies overall can be good or bad but he made a good job in all of them.
Then he moved on to Top Gun, 1996. We all know Top Gun, action-packed film, you might like it or not, it has aged well (?) personal opinions incoming, but what its undeniable is that it made an impact, such an impact is now mainstream culture and Tom Cruise made that happen, we all know Top Gun because of his character and his stunts, and when it came out people noticed that he did his own stunts he liked that, I believe that this one is the move that he had the most fun working in, therefore he wanted to do more of those.
But hey! he did not stop here, he then moved on to make: The Color of Money 1986, Rain Man 1988 and Born on the Fourth of July 1989 all of those roles quite deep with a lot of layers and complexity on their build.
So I believe know he proved himself to be a good actor, not an action star.
But he kept going with A Few Good Men 1992 Interview with the Vampire 1994. Oh, and between those movies he made Days of Thunder (1990) Far and Away (1992).
After that Mission Imposible I (1996), Jerry Maguire (1996), Eyes Wide Shut (1999) and Magnolia (1999) all are pretty good with outstanding performances by Tom Cruise.
His filmography is filled with deep and diverse characters, he enjoys doing stunts he's an adrenaline junkie and know that he has nothing to prove to anyone and has the money to do it, he just produces whatever he wants, sometimes is awesome The last Samurai or the latest MI, ....
I think you misplaced Brad Pitt's name in that ranking ladder my friend, he might not be on the first one (for me he is) but definitely in the second level.
Seven, 12 monkeys, Fight Club, Killing Them Softly, Moneyball, Spy Game, Babel, Interview with the Vampire, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Burn After Reading, Inglorious Basterds, Fury, 12 years slave ... he has a remarkable filmography, with great and very diverse characters.
BTW I agree on your hit and miss about Cage, he is a hit or miss, even though he's a miss lately. But yeah, Joe, Mandy among other recent one are quite good, still way over top in his acting, but I quite like it when it fits the movie and the tone of it is well delivered.
