Didn't like the first 2 episodes but the rest have been good and great. The series is highly ambitious, confident, and bold.

Excellent trailer. Looked a lot better than I expected. Cavill looks perfect in the role.

Thanks a lot. How do you get to this page within the site itself.

Are the yearly Worldwide charts gone? Those were my favorite things to check. When I was bored I would randomly look at a random worldwide chart and enjoy browsing. Are they really gone? Tell me they are still there somewhere

First sentence Perfectly sums up how I feel watching high frame rates Perfect

Awesome number. Purely anecdotal but a lot of my friends who rarely go to the cinema have been posting about how much they enjoyed Joker

In a season full of home run episodes the finale knocked them all out of the park. One of the most satisfying finales in that it leaves you super hungry for more and yet satisfied with the overall journey.

What an incredibly tense episode. The show is just firing on all cylinders right now.

It also took me some time to get it. I wasn't really that into the first season and kept watching for the zingers but didn't really care about the characters or the drama. The 2nd season has been totally different and I am fully invested. Just a string of excellent episode after excellent episode and a great example of weekly TV plotting as each ending is satisfying yet still leaves you wanting more. Rhea has been a great addition and Holly Hunter is excellent in the role.

It was good. I liked trailer 1 more.

Oh as for the movie. The trailers looked meh for me but I am big Will Smith fan and will check it out.

The effect of HFR is something I have been thinking about for years. When I go to an electronics store I always see these Super Hidef TV's and I see them showing an old film and no doubt it looks a lot sharper and clearer and you can see the pores on the face etc. Yet there is always this disconnect as the high level of realism is a turn off for me. I think because I want the movie to be fake or I can enjoy a movie because it is different from reality but when the movie looks exactly like reality then that feeling of escape is gone. Maybe its something that takes getting used to and that if everything is like that our eyes will eventually adjust

I actually felt worried for the Roy's. Amazing how the show gets us to sympathize with these horrible people.

That last episode was excellent. This show has some of the best dialogue I have seen.

I binged season 1 and thought it was pretty good. Now I just watched the first episode of season 2 and it was my favorite episode and am now really excited to continue season 2

I used to think that a non-English film or non-Hollywood production could be a hit in most countries except in the USA. That seems like the hardest market to penetrate for foreign films. Now it has become doubly hard in the age of franchises and reliance on popular IP's. I do think some foreign TV shows have broken out worldwide on Netflix though its impossible to confirm with no numbers. The Spanish show Money Heist for example seems to have a huge following all over Europe and Asia. The Korean series Kingdom and German series Dark were both amazing and seem to have garnered a following in the U.S. as well. Hard to really measure but I think Netflix is slowly opening the doors for many foreign shows to reach a global audience so maybe that could pave the way for a film to do the same in theaters in the future

Rotten Tomatoes is wonderful if you understand how it works and use it as a guide instead of blindly following the tomato meter. I always take a peak at the average rate. I don't have time to watch everything. I have also discovered lots of critics I enjoy following because of the site and who I now follow regularly. I also love going to the site after watching a movie and loving it to read all the blurbs from the positive reviews that feel the same way I did. I also don't get the hate for the site. The don't rate anything, they simply compile all the reviews into one easy to access place. What is wrong with that?

I really enjoyed this series. Homelander was great. The best thing is that I don't even think it even reached its full potential yet and season 2 has a lot of room to be great.

That trailer got me interested in seeing this. It looks like it has a vibrancy and an energy that will make the period setting feel alive and less stodgy. I like it.

After reading all the bad signs in the tracking thread for a week. I think a 60 million opening is really great for Hobbs and Shaw.

I have never seen the original but that was a great trailer in terms of visuals.

When the trailer first came out it most of my friends (not regular movie goers) were sharing it on social media and sounded really excited for it. The comments section were mostly positive. It felt like a fun fresh idea. I also thought it had huge breakout potential. But now it feels like the initial excitement among my circle of friends has died down and some seem to have forgotten about it (purely anecdotal and may not be reflective of anyone else) which has me worried that this is now going to open poorly. I feel this is a film that many people want to see but are in no rush to see. "I'll watch it if I have some free time and have a chance or I'll wait for it in streaming." I really hope the marketing picks up a bit more.

I loved the first 30 to 40 minutes. The atmosphere of destruction was great. Seeing some familiar locations in ruins made me sad. Peter Dinklage acted the hell out of the scenes and I felt sorry for Tyrion as he wept over Jaimes dead body. Throwing away the hand pin was excellent. Kit Harrington did a good job showing Jon's dilemma. I thought Emilia Clarke had a strong presence as a villain. And that shot of her with the dragon's wings was one of the best shots of the series. Then the time jump happened and it just sucked away all the tension and momentum for me. Then Bran is King and the North is free just like that. Grey Worm agrees and the problems are solved. Such an anticlimactic end. This should have been two episodes. At least Jon petted Ghost and the final shot crosscutting between the Starks combined with the theme music was nice but this could have been so much more.

I would be extremely stunned if it won. If The Crown and Stranger Things (the two other nominees that I watch) upcoming seasons are just as good as the last they will be way ahead of season 8

After season 6 I had it tied with The Wire just behind Breaking Bad. But yeah, it's definitely out of that conversation now
