i’m so glad i looked to my right and saw your comment. I’m super excited that they are bringing back a season 2 and I’m just going to wait for the whole season to be complete. maybe. lol

Laura-GCHQ 7 points 2 years ago.

It’s probably best this way. Waiting every week is damn annoying, but then binge watching the entire season 2 in one day is far worse for me because it’ll feel like I’ll have to wait an entire year again before getting the next dose of this 😓

I honestly didn’t have high expectations for this movie, but it was a fun watch. Nothing really new, but it was well put together. I’d literally watch anything with Emily Blunt in it.

Oh Yvonny Yvonny Yvonny, only a few days ago i was hating your @ss for the atrocities you perpetrated in The Handmaid’s Tale but today I’m feeling bad you died a horrible death in this movie.

I’m a sucker for anything time travel. This movie was Entertaining and all but honestly they could have done better. So in the future they have the technology to create time travel but they couldn’t develop and manufacture better weapons to kill those aliens and the best they could do is still automatic assault riffles? Even in this day and age humanity still has better weapons how much more 28years in the future? Also you had the possibility to travel 30years into the past and the best plan they could come up with is to recruit those who were already dead in the future? Shouldn’t they have spent the 30years researching and developing better weapons?

This show isn’t for the faint of heart. Also if you like to see big explosions this probably isn’t for you. It’s slow and amazing but also nerve wrecking and emotionally crushing. There’s alot of “WTF” did i just watch moments that leaves you petrified if not emotionally scarred. After much cajoling and convincing my girlfriend to give it a try, she still couldn’t survive beyond episode 2 of season 1. I found new appreciation for freedom of choice as a woman after watching this.

I know this is fictional and it happens in a dystopian society but if given the conditions and our reality does present the same problems there would be people who would actively advocate for the implementation of the same solutions as Gilead did.
Giving this show 5/5 rating doesn’t even come close to what it truly deserves.

Finally, they made an episode that didn’t spell doom in an alternate reality. It was fun all the way through.

Lovecraft Country (2020)
Cataclysmic 7 points 2 years ago.

I can’t believe HBO decided to cancel show when it was praised by fans and critics. I actually just saw that the showrunners were excited to start 2nd season and even had plans of what the new United States would look like. They really screwed themselves because I can totally see another platform picking this up and it be a bigger hit.

Laura-GCHQ 5 points 2 years ago.

The showruners had a book to go on with in the first season. Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer of HBO and HBO Max said the writers wanted to go off and take some time to go and figure out without a book what direction to go with the characters, what’s the journey we want to go on. In reality, HBO didn’t want to repeat the same mistake they made with Game of Thrones after the producers ran out of materials (Books) to work with also, so they waited for a while and eventually pulled the plug on this.
Hopefully some other network might pick this up later.

You’ll enjoy every season… I know I have, tremendously. Happy Viewing

Laura-GCHQ 5 points 2 years ago.

Gosh, i finally got the time to binge watch the rest of this show. You saying i’ll enjoy every season now feels like an understatement. This show makes movies like Oceans Eleven and every other heist movie/show looks like child’s play.
It makes me wonder how many quality movies and TV series i’ve missed just because they weren’t produced here in the UK or by Hollywood…

Fringe (2008)
ShugarCat 7 points 2 years ago.

What a thoroughly enjoyable watch. You are reeled in from the first episode and after a few initial character developing episodes the story takes off and soars such that each week outdoes the previous. The cast is exceptional and the writing flawless. This series is not only binge worthy it is high on the re-watch scale. Overall it is an exceptional production and I highly recommend it for anyone.

Laura-GCHQ 5 points 2 years ago*.

It’s everything you said and more. I’ve rewatched it every year since it ended. It never gets old for me.
Fox originally planned to make 10seasons of it but back then not many viewers watched Fringe directly from Fox. They used third party sites to download the episodes, others binge watched the entire seasons by downloading them from Torrentz sites. So when the viewership numbers dropped, Fox decided to pull the plug after season 3. But they also cared about the show and they couldn’t just let the story hang after season 3 so they sanctioned another 1 and a half season to wrap it up. This is why the 4th season seemed crunched and the 5th seems disjointed. But all in all we were grateful they gave us some sort of closure and they didn’t just cancel the show like they did many others back then. Someone from Netflix even said they would have revived the show had Fox cancelled it after season 3.
Anyway, here we are today 😂😂😂

Invasion (2021) S1 E10
Laura-GCHQ 7 points 2 years ago.

This show is unnecessarily slow, many scenes are pointless, two thirds of the entire season is disjointed and incoherent. The 10 episodes could be summarized into a 45mins movie and you still won’t miss anything important. I tried to be open minded with this one, but heck, it’s time of my life i’d never get back.
This show should definitely get cancelled, if it doesn’t then the gods must be crazy

The Handmaid's Tale (2017) S4 E10
Laura-GCHQ 7 points 2 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

This show really isn’t for the faint of heart. I managed to convince my girlfriend to give it a try and she said she’s been scarred for life and can’t unsee what she saw in the first 2 episodes of season 1. Had she binge watched the entire series up to the end of season 3, I wonder how she’d have reacted because the capitol incident took place barely a week after she attempted to watch this show. Even i freaked out.

This episode was nerve wrecking. I can only imagine the pain she’s had to deal with while those who didn’t experience what she and the other women went through just expects them to move on and act like nothing happened. Ok, now you’re out, you’re safe, we’ve heard you, sorry about what happened to you. Alright it’s time to move on.

I was super pissed when the deal to grant Fred and Serena immunity was made. I really would have stopped watching this show had he actually made the trip to Geneva.
What’s sad is i work in the intelligence community and i know and have seen this shit happen alot behind the scene. Anyway, for what it’s worth, i think fred got only a fraction of what he actually deserves, but considering the alternative, I’ll take this jungle justice, and i hope they reserve the grand prize for the gender traitor called Serena. I keep saying the biggest problem we have as women isn’t men but other women.

Considering how outrageous the plot for this is, i’m surprised at how good it actually turned out to be. It’s crazy, interesting and fun to watch. John Wick meets Monkey Business in a Showdown in Little Tokyo
I don’t regret watching this.

Damnnnn… Now this is how to make a movie. It’s amazing. Great cast. Really slick script. The angles have angles. Towards the end i felt like rewatching the movie in reverse just to capture and appreciate the plot.
The sad truth is even till this day, every big industry have their dirty secrets they’ve spent billions protecting from the general public.

Hawkeye (2021) S1 E4
sobitthen 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Yeah, watched it twice.. guess both characters have it wrong then.. as she did it to save people, BW losing grip on Hawk, and can see sister blaming as 2 Avengers enter, 1 leaves.. Just didn’t catch why he thought she was assassin, as that BW movie was before she fell for infinity stone and would think he would know about the whole pseudo family thing and BW trusting her.. He could have shouted, ‘she let go’…

Laura-GCHQ 4 points 2 years ago.

You’re under the assumption that Hawkeye knows she’s Natasha’s sister. He knows about the red room and the Black Widows program, so he can identity an assassin sent by them, however he can’t just stop in the middle of being attacked to ask “Hey there, so who are you and why the hell have you been sent to take me out”, for all he cares at that point is to not get killed and he’s probably thinking someone has sent a BW Assassin after him because they finally figured out he was Ronan

The Handmaid's Tale (2017) S4 E10
UGuess 3 points 2 years ago.

Mannnn your last sentence is sooo true, hate to admit it (SMH)-The only thing that keeps me PARTLY sane is knowing we all will one day stand before Yah to face judgment for everything we have, haven’t done and allowed. SB: Do hope your friend gets better soon though.

Laura-GCHQ 4 points 2 years ago*.

I also believe we’ll all face judgement at some point. But like June said, “weak men makes the world go round”, the statement is spot on. These said weak people do all sorts of nasty things to other people and they mostly get away with it. They lie, cheat, exploit others and abuse their status and position in society and end up hurting a lot of people in the process. So while I might believe these aforementioned “weak men” will eventually stand judgement in a spiritual court, I earnestly hope they’ll experience a physical day of reckoning where karma bites them in the a$$ and gives those they hurt a front row seat.

PS-
My girlfriend is fine now, though she still can’t fathom or comprehend my decision to continue watching the show. So I told her I’ve found new appreciation for freedom of choice and liberty as a woman because of the show. Her response: Atleast something good came out of it…

Oooo, that’s a great memory, seeing Amelie where it was filmed. Lucky you!

Laura-GCHQ 4 points 2 years ago.

Yeah. A thanks to that movie, i became a better friend to my neighbor who was exactly like Amelie. I couldn’t find the movie back then in Fulham to make her watch it also, but she did get a mouthful from me as it was all i talked about for the first 3days after i got back.

The Suicide Squad (2021)
CatD 3 points 2 years ago.

Is it that we have went without new movies so long? Or is everyones taste in movies really this off? Well to each his or her own i suppose.That was just awful. senseless blood and gore. comedy horror action. Not even B rate D rate maybe.Just my opinion. Dont let the kids watch it.

Laura-GCHQ 4 points 2 years ago.

It’s what you get when you have really low expectations, and for good reasons because DC has been dishing out shitty stuffs for some time, coupled with the fact that movies these days are just either really bad or a mindless recycling of what has already been done a hundred times over.

Laura-GCHQ 4 points 2 years ago.

I think Fred got off easy. He doesn’t even deserve a quick death. He shoulda been lynched, castrated and then left alive in Gilead which he helped build, to be humiliated and then finally put on the wall.

Did you watch the 1st season?

Offcourse i did. I made this comment because 3 episodes into the second season and it seems they’re already deviating from the premise they set towards the end of the first season.
Perhaps i’m just impatient at this point.

The Handmaid's Tale (2017) S4 E10
CleoHarper 1 points 2 years ago.

To me it doesn’t matter if she comes around any more than when Negan tries to “fix” things with Maggie. Some things you just can’t come back from. I appreciate when they try to show different facets of a character but some people have such an evil side (IMO) that any pain they may have suffered, any attempt at goodness to balance out the bad, I just can’t care. Maybe the next person will, and good for them - but not me. Lydia’s always watched out for “Cyclops Girl” (ahem…Janine XD)…like a pet. I’ve often wondered what her motives are there. Honestly I hope they don’t use the self-sacrificing formula for this. I feel like she needs a more original demise. Or at least, a demise without redemption. :-)

Laura-GCHQ 3 points 2 years ago.

We are on the same page on this topic. Even Negan has better excuses than Aunt Lydia but like you said, once you cross that line, there’s no coming back.

The Handmaid's Tale (2017) S4 E10
CleoHarper 2 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

So very well said! But I think I hate Aunt Lydia more than Serena. Serena’s just weak. Aunt Lydia literally hates her own gender. My grandmother was like that. I feel bad for your girlfriend, but also a little jealous: I’ve watched so much disturbing crap that things like this show hardly ever faze me. However there are things once seen you’d do anything to un-see and it sounds like she probably sleeps a lot better than I do at night. Fred seriously should have been turned into Gilead. While I enjoyed seeing him up on the wall the physical torture isn’t really fitting punishment. I wish his punishment was more psychological; being turned over to the monster he created would have been HIS worst nightmare. The humiliation, the shame, the loss of all power and esteem, feeling helpless as all his peers turn their backs in disappointment, and finally watching someone else raise his child before being put on the wall himself - that I think would have been much worse for him. It almost feels as if he got off light to me. However, I don’t think it’s his kid. I think Serena was banging the CIA rep. I really want to see that kid taken away from Serena.

Laura-GCHQ 3 points 2 years ago.

My girlfriend Alice is a softie. Even the disney animated movie “Coco” made her cry alot, lmao…
I am alot like you. I’ve experienced and seen too many crap i wish i can unsee, but we know reality doesn’t work that way. So stuffs like these doesn’t faze me anymore, although the thought of having my rights, liberty and freedom of choice being stripped, and then forced into servitude as a sex worker or a handmaid is a bit frightening.
I’m seriously hoping Serena’s baby is taken away from her. The ultimate punishment for her would be watching from the sidelines while someone else becomes the mother of her kid.
I really have no words for Aunt Lydia. She’s too old to serve as a Handmaid, putting her on the wall would be an easy escape. I can’t even think of a befitting punishment for her. Perhaps a very slow, tortuous and painful death at the colonies.

Hawkeye (2021) S1 E4
sobitthen 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Well since they are calling her pretend sister one of the assassins, are we in an alternate realm in this series?

Laura-GCHQ 3 points 2 years ago.

Go watch the Black Widow movie, especially the end credit scenes, then it’ll make sense to you. This is not an alternate universe and by the way, Natasha Romanov’s make believe sister and family actually did care a lot about her, they loved each other in their own crazy way, hence the reason why she has attacked Hawkeye. She’s been told it was him who killed Natasha.

I think Lydia’s starting to come around, after that incident with the cattle prod and the chewing out from all that. And look how she’s started being kind to and watching out for cyclops girl.
She’s ate up with the cause, fer sure, but she’s starting to show there’s a human in there somewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up doing something heroic and self-sacrificing before it all ends.

Laura-GCHQ 3 points 2 years ago.

Lives have been lost, irreparable damages has been done to the few who managed to escape (still being done to those left behind), you can’t unring this bell or turn back the hands of that clock. At this point there’s no redemption for Aunt Lydia. I really don’t care what series of events happened in her past that made her who she became, she atleast had the option of choice back then and she could have changed her life whenever she wanted. If she was single and alone, that was her choice. If she had one too many disappointments and heartbreaks, she isn’t the first to experience those either, we all have. If her religious beliefs and sentiments cause her pain and disappointments, again that was her choice. She has no excuse.
I seriously hope Karma “wines and dines” with her with a feast meant for a thousand in Season 5.

LMAO. This is Superman, so of course i know it’s all fiction, but is it too much to ask for it to atleast make a little sense? And this DC folks just keeps changing the back story whenever it suits them. His mom had another kid before him, sent him to earth blah blah blah in smallvile it was his mom having an affair with Zor El her husband’s brother the father of Supergirl. So so and so. Bs.

Yep but I’m just not feeling it. The fight scenes are really boring because there are no stakes. I don’t know what groundwork they are doing but it’s not working. I think the MCU phase four is not going to work because the excitement is gone

Laura-GCHQ 3 points 2 years ago*.

The fight scenes aren’t just boring, it’s like they were choreographed by an amateur coordinator.
About phase 4 not working, i don’t really know about that, but what i do know is the MCU has done amazing things in the past with Marvel characters and stories nobody gave a rat’z @ss about until they were brought to the big screens, and they managed to pull it off. So I’d give them the benefit of the doubt for now. It’s just that it’d be hard to watch an avenger movie without Tony Stark or Steve Rogers in it.
