Really lovely film. I saw the original teaser with Gemma Chan in the role of Julia and while I am a fan of Chan. Zawe Ashton was perfect. Honestly the entire cast was great.

Adapted from the 2009 novel of the same name by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (Captain America films, Avengers Infinity War & Endgame) and directed by the Russo Brothers, THE GRAY MAN is a more than servicaeble action film. But with Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas leading the film I would have expected it to be more than serviceable. The plotting is predictable, the action is good but not great and yet and still I can't hate it the way so many critics do. Ryan Gosling is superb in all that he does and while it was wonderful that he took time out to be a dad, I'm glad he's doing films again. Evans, to me, is at his best playing smarmy and/or wise a** characters so I'm glad now he's free of Captain America he's back to playing those roles.

I loved all the series wide callbacks in the teaser-the invisible car, Fernando's tree, Teddy Perkins' piano, the alligator from Alligator Man, Bibby...

I like how the show zags when I expected it to zig like the Jean-Pierre fakeout and Nicholas not being put off by Tanya's jealousy but by her wasting Howard's time.

I was worried that the show would diminish with the addition of kids but it is as sure-footed as ever. Loved both episodes but especially the first one with their family coming together. I truly love Phil Davis as Jason's dad. I associate him with baddies (the killer cabbie in SHERLOCK, a demonic agent of chaos in BEING HUMAN) so seeing him someone as loving is wonderful. Despite Freddy ruining his own relationship therefore deserving all the loneliness he's experiencing I did want Jason to invite him over to help him with the children's tea. Maybe Freddy and Scott could become pals - Freddy seems desperate enough for companionship.

That show was a thing of beauty. Superb ensemble. And how I loved Reg and Kelly-Ann.

I'm a Dakota Johnson fan starting back from her tiny, tiny role in THE SOCIAL NETWORK and her Fox series BEN AND KATE, but she didn't do it for me in this film. She didn't adjust her delivery or her mannerisms to make it seem that she was in a period piece. I just keeping seeing that meme in my head of "Dakota Johnson has the face of someone who knows what an iPhone is." I feel the only way she would have worked in this was if it was time-traveling fantasy of a modern day woman being transported into the story of "Persuasion". She was an ill-fit.

Maya was also on The Good Place.

As much as I love the idea of Molly and Arthur I need to see more of Olivier Martinez's Jean-Pierre.

Good eye. It's also the first time we see the busker Ted recruits to perform at the gala in "For the Children".

Phil definitely deserved a nomination. As much as I love James Lance I am very surprised by his nomination. Surely his submission had to be the car park scene in "Inverting the Pyramid of Success" and, while rewarding for fans, I don't think it showed any acting prowess. Sam Richardson's nomination in the same category was deserving.

It's no THOR:RAGNAROK but it's also not THOR: THE DARK WORLD. The first hour felt clunky and then things picked up in the final hour. I think the humour in this was a tad forced because it is more of a heartfelt film but fans expected the wackiness that Taika's work tends to bring so the monster had to be fed. Great music though.

The trailer for the second season is wonderful. Can't wait ti have them back https://youtu.be/-xjKgOnf1w4

I'm glad they dispatched of Spencer Clay before the finale so that the episode could give Netwon the spotlight so needed. I'm a big Bill Nighy fan so his monologue and depth of emotion conveyed was staggering. For all of the big McGuffin of the quantum fusion machine, I loved the themes of self-determination, individualism, family, the different shapes of love and family (Josiah and Newton as father figures to Farraday; Finch and Clay and their effed up family dynamic, the deep abiding love Portia has for Justin and her family, Hatch and his nephew). Five Years was the perfect song to close out the episode.

In the first season Allison says she speaks seven languages so it stands to reason they know each of their native languages . They are polyglots. Five or Viktor said they all had to read ancient Greek and Viktor knew Swedish when dealing with the assasins.

I took it as a memory. They left it to the last to create reasonable doubt in the viewers' mind that Elizabeth's protestations were true. Now we know she lied to Katherine.

It reminds me Peacock's "American Auto" but "Loot" is way more wacky. I howled during the "Hot Ones" scene. I'm already loving the Molly/ Arthur relationship.

I don't think Olivia DeJonge in her early scenes looked too far off from 14-year old Priscilla. https://ibb.co/YX00DJ5 Luhrmann took a light touch regarding those areas. Not too much pill popping and they wait until the last frames to show the weight gain. Prior to that scene there were two fleeting mentions of him gaining weight.

I don't think it was 89 because there is a QR scan code on the window next to Ben, though that could just be anachronistic and of that timeline.

The film covers Elvis and Priscilla's relationship in broad beats. The meat of the story is his ascension and fall and how tethered he was to the Colonel.

Simon (Julian) co-wrote "Paddington 2".

Really enjoyed the first episode. It moved at a brisk pace. Tom Cullen is perfectly cast as a roguish Thomas Seymour.

Overall I'm content with the ending of the story as I liked the characters for the most part. But I felt it was a bit too saccharin. I haven't read the book but after seeing the finale I read the Wiki entry for it and I think its ending was more in line with the general preceding tone of the show. Frank Dillane was the MVP of the piece for me and Clémence Poésy imbued so much grace and heart into a thinly written character.
