@Fancyarcher As the team shrinks, we need to talk strategy. Can’t message you...

Even if it’s not as great as hoped, I remain optimistic it’ll be interesting and that’s not something you see every day.

oops, delete

Its true. I mean, I can't 100% vouch that they were sent, but I've PM'ed you about it.

Dammit. If Annabelle manages to hang onto 15th place, I'm 14/15 DOM. Which is nice, except that I had Dark Phoenix at 14 and Once Upon a Time as my alternate. *THAT* close to 15/15. Edit - Having looked over the lists, I think a couple folks did manage to pull off the elusive 15/15.

Non-murderousness ftw.

Deadline's Thursday-ish predicts are more accurate than people give them credit, but once the actual numbers start rolling in their ability to extrapolate is weirdly bad.

19. No, I did not Did you remember the final week always has two questions like this? 4000 20. You know nothing, Jon Chasmmi. Winter is coming. Who's coming back for Winter? 5000

The Iron Sky movies! I really would like to watch those eventually.

The Producers wasn't lighthearted?

Honest doesn't mean "well thought through". Life is more complicated than that, most of the time.

And was a really fun movie, too, along with introducing me to the entertaining Rachel House.

Saw it again, enjoyed it a lot. Samara Weaving approaches the anime ideal of having her eyes be bigger than her mouth.

WK19 - Nope

I shall lead Team Sokovia to glorious victory by repeatedly demonstrating, again and again, repeatedly, how NOT to do the challenges.

Ah, that’s closer to where it should be. The last time I checked (We’d night or Thurs morning) it was more like 93% and 7.4-7.5 rating (don’t recall top critics results). We can quibble over the cutoff on good vs great, but it felt too high to me.

Oh, sure. I don’t mean to make the movie sound bad. If anything, it’s probably better than most folks would think (without looking at RT). But it’s a *good* movie, and RT is reporting borderline *great* reviews and that’s not really accurate (and probably due to what we were talking about).

I do mostly agree with this. I thought the movie was solid and fun, but it certainly had its flaws and isn't remotely worthy of the excellent ratings its getting at RT, which I also assume result from the movie being at least superficially anti-rich. Which isn't really a fair comparison. The Le Domas family isn't a random group of rich folks, they've got... other things going on. Plus, virtually everyone in the movie is well drawn, even including Justin, the hapless OnStar guy.

Movie was totally fun. Weaving (looks like she's Hugo Weaving's niece) is terrific and I really liked the supporting cast. Its got some issues with pacing and it really tried to do the horror/dark comedy thing, but it didn't quite stick the landing on the tone. Don't get me wrong, its no Very Bad Things (my personal standard-setter for really dark comedy), but its worth seeing before its likely imminent disappearance from theaters. Weaving has good comic timing and delivery, has most of the funniest lines, and gets a lot of entertainment mileage out of her character's surprisingly prolific profanity.
