We saw her in hell. She's crossed over, so no haunting.

Wrong Ryan. It's the superior Ryan: Gosling.

its weird how many things have changed from the Doom Patrol backdoor pilot to this. Different cast, different universe, its this sort of thing that makes these connected universes and competing IP's so confusing.
The recasting was especially odd since their appearance in DOOM PATROL was a backdoor pilot and they kept Ruth Connell as Night Nurse (but she was hand-picked by the series creator because they worked together on SUPERNATUAL).
The series and recasting was announced to so a week or two after the DOOM PATROL episode aired so they already had it in mind that they would go with different characterizations of Edwin, Charles and Crystal. I was initially put out by the recasting, but George, Jayden and Kassius are excellent. Also, I like that Edwin and Charles' personalities are so different. In the DOOM PATROL episode they were alot alike.

Great fun! Other than being stuntmen film Colt Seaver is vastly different that TV Colt Seaver and that works just fine. It's a Valentine to the stunt community, full stop. Meta, self-referential but jam packed with action and laughs.
I enjoyed Ryan Gosling in BARBIE, but for his comedy work I loved THE NICE GUYS and this is near to the level of comedy he achieved in that film.

There seems to be no discussion. Either due to lack of interest or because no one made individual episode threads and that deters people from commenting.

Sorry if I missed the post, but has it aired yet in the U.S.? Or if not, when will it? I don’t want to get Starz if it hasn’t started yet.
It's currently airing weekly on Starz (four episodes have already aired).

Love the series and as someone who is very lukewarm on Lukas Gage, I love him as Cat King.
I was admittedly someone upset at the recasting of Ty Tennant and Sebastian Croft, but I am over it. Jayden Revri, George Rexstrew and Kassius Nelson are incredible. They work well together and they are a wonderful iteration of Charles, Edwin and Crystal.
And Max Jenkins and Caitlin Reilly as the Dandelion Sprites were hilarious. The casting agent/s was firing from all cylinders.

It aired in the UK on Sky first, now the U.S. gets it.

Would love for the series to go forward on another streamer, but as that is very unlikely, I love what we were able to get across three seasons. A very strong ending for a series that was miles and a away better than it actually needed to be.

Series two quietly debuted today. The first two episodes are up. Still funny, still great music.

I preferred GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE infinitely more than GODZILLA X KONG. I can't believe Adam Wingard directed both. The first one was plodding, trying to wade through this connected universe while ..THE NEW EMPIRE is just fun, breezy, action-packed. A vast improvement.

Absolutely adored it and was so disappointed that there was no BAFTA love for Helena Bonham Carter and Augustus Prew.

I actually found it more subdued than the film.

Not as over-the-top as advertised. Still a great watch. By all appearances of the promotion I assumed it would have anachronistic elements and a bit punchier, but it's not. It is very much your standard historical drama, with the exception of a fair bit of humour running through.

Absolutely floored that this was nominated for Best Picture considering the range of films it's up against. It's a nice film, but very slight. I didn't find it as profound as others.
Seeing as this, tonally IMO, feels like ALL OF US STRANGERS, I can't see how that lost out in Original Screenplay and Best Picture.
Performances great, but underwhelming film.

Director Andrew Haigh's first theatrical film in six years is a adaptation is the second film adaptation of the 1987 novel "Strangers".
Starring Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell, ALL OF US STRANGERS is a meditative study of loneliness and connectedness. Of love that reaches through the invisible divides.
Screenwriter Adam (Scott) is a screenwriter living in a sparsely occupied high-rise. The seemingly only other sign of life being a man who lives multiple floors beneath him - Harry (Mescal) - who, after a shaky start, he embarks on a relationship with.
While Adam spends his evenings with Harry; his days are spent with his parents (Foy and Bell), as they navigate all the things that have remained unspoken over the years.
First time I saw it someone was sobbing loudly throughout. It didn't affect me that way...until I saw it the second time. It was then that the emotion of the piece connected with me. Scott got all the glory and Mescal all the attention (and they work splendidly together), but to me, the strength of the film lies in Foy and Bell and their scenes with Scott.

Sadly, the show has done abysmally at the awards this year. Most recently losing in the four categories at the SAG Awards they were nominated in and garnering no WGA awards.
At least they look good.

I have a low tolerance for zany and it's the reason why I didn't like KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE and why I really dislike ARGYLLE.
What ARGYLLE has going for it is Sam Rockwell and Dallas Bryce Howard who excel despite Matthew Vaughn's unrestraint.
Everything else is diminishing returns. However, wouldn't mind if what they set up in the mid end credits pan out to something more. I'd watch that.

What I love about Ramon is that he pushes back when Cristóbal over-reacts. He's full throated when he demands respect from him. Whereas Wlad was more of a tamer, a Cristóbal whisperer, if you would. Wlad let it roll off his back and either laugh at him and keep it pushing. And that worked for him because he was the love of Cristóbal’s life. Ramon had to work harder.

Absolutely loved this film. And a much better courtroom film than France's 2022 submission SAINT OMER (though Guslagie Malanda was mesmerizing). Sandra Hüller gave a stellar performance and Milo Machado Graner more than kept up with the adult actors. I'm hoping it gets a slot in Best Picture like ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT did last year.

Just like JA Bayona's true story tsunami film THE IMPOSSIBLE, SOCIETY OF THE SNOW was incredibly immersive and stunning in recreating those moments.
I've never seen 1993's ALIVE based on this story, but I knew about the cannabilism because that's all everyone talked about. Bayona blessedly used the book "Society of the Snow: The Definitive Account of the World's Greatest Survival Story" to form this film. By doing so he gave the dead life. It was no longer about how they died but how they lived. We learned their names. We saw their humanity.

Episode one was a great start to series 2.
I worried that I wouldn't like Helen and Elliot together because I tend to like the getting together part of characters' relationships versus seeing an established relationship, but Ioved seeing their dynamic. I actually wished we got more of them in those moments.

It was okay but not Oscar worthy or even worthy of an Oscar nomination except maybe for costume design.
The costume design was exquisite. Now I am really kicking myself for not going to the brief exhibit they had of the costumes in L.A a month or so ago.
It's not my favourite Yorgos Lanthimos film but it is quite enjoyable. I think Emma and Mark Ruffalo were fantastic. Loved Ramy Youssef in this. It was a joy.

S01.E05: The Case of the Two Dead Dragons
in Dead Boy Detectives
The woman crying on the stairs in Hell who keeps asking Charles, "Why am I here?" is Maxine the stalker.
