It slows the transmission of COVID, and clinical trials / real world data has shown that COVID vaccines are highly effective to prevent severe illness with COVID. Just in the U.S., there have been 1.13 million deaths linked to COVID.
Individual choice is important, but that is a two-way street. If you are choosing not to vaccinate yourself, bear in mind that others don't share your viewpoint and don't want to be infected by you. Around 81% of the U.S. population has now received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine.
It's frontotemporal dementia.
Clive Barker, the author of the source material for this film, is an openly gay man...
From what I gather, episode 8 of 'House of the Dragon' will feature another big time jump that will replace the child actors with young adults but, once again, keep the other actors looking almost exactly the same.
From the hurried pacing between episodes, you would think this was a limited series, and not an ongoing one, as was previously announced.
I watched the first season and enjoyed it, then started reading the book series, which is terrific.
I really need to finish watching the show.
It's unfortunate.
'Logan' was a perfect send-off for Hugh Jackman, perhaps the best one that an actor has ever had for a superhero character.
Disney's version of Deadpool? Not so much. Money talks, though.
What doesn't make any sense? The talismans?
The first season of 'The Witcher' was widely criticised for having each of its three main characters operating in a separate timeline - the story around any one character never goes back in time, but the time jumps forward between episodes were very large. It was confusing.
I really enjoyed the second season of 'The Witcher' - I think its the best fantasy series on TV at the moment - but that first season was rough.
As we see in nearly every episode of the series, the townspeople have mysterious talismans that, when placed inside an enclosing structure, act as a shield from the monsters.
The monsters can also be invited inside, as shown with the child in the first episode and the extremely lonely guy during the party.
The box does not have a talisman, therefore the monsters can simply rip it open.
What aspects have you been enjoying so far?
What are your thoughts on the series, Kowalski?
You didn't like the score by Bear McCreary?
Without getting into book spoilers, he's a Littlefinger-style manipulator with no loyalty, playing all the different sides against each other to gain behind-the-scenes power for himself.
I'm not a huge fan of how they've handled Daemon - I thought his one-man army assault on the Crabfeeder was ridiculous - but I'll play devil's advocate.
My interpretation of the scene was that it was ambiguous as to whether he originally intended to kill her. When she began goading him, then fearfully reached for her bow and her horse reared, Daemon could either have been trying to calm the horse down or forcing it off-balance to crush her. It's also ambiguous as to whether he was just going to leave her critically injured, to die slowly, before finally committing to finishing her off with the rock because she continued insulting him. My overall impression was that she made up her mind that Daemon intended to kill her - sensing his silent rage (as we saw when he beat his brother's soldier) - before he had, perhaps hastening her own death.
By this point in the series, we are meant to understand that Daemon is some kind of super-humanly skilled warrior and knows exactly how to make a horse fall over.
There is enough material for another season if they choose to explore 'The Next Karate Kid' - Miyagi's second student, the Alpha Elite fraternity, the Zen monastery, Col. Paul Dugan, etc.
But I agree that 'Cobra Kai' shouldn't go on forever - the main characters have already been totally explored, particularly Johnny and Daniel.
I always thought that was a metaphor for his diminished power still being enough to terrify Gollum.
Tokien's book trilogy never describes him, physically. He's more of a psychic presence or an abstract impression, which is why Jackson made him a big fiery eye in the films.
Sauron has always been a shapeshifter - it's how he managed to convince the different races to help him forge the rings of power in the first place.
The movies are set during the period where Sauron can't create a physical body. We only seem him in his armoured form during the wartime flashbacks.
I'm enjoying it - the orcs seem like more of a threat here.
The series is supposed to run for four seasons and feature generations of Targaryens. The time jumps are necessary.

There are multiple sub-forums on Moviechat that are overwhelmed by nonsense troll posts about identity politics. It has nothing to do with the quality of a TV series or movie, more so about the current state of discourse on the internet.
