World Premiere Review:

Not as good as the original, but totally worth going to see in the theaters. I don't think I've laughed this much at a Pixar film since the the first one. This one didn't seem to have as much "heart" as the original as this felt almost like a revival for this particular franchise than an actual sequel. Fun for adults and kids. Baby steals the show.

After seeing the David scenes, I can safely say that Dan Stevens has the best American accent.

For some reason I can't stop watching this garbage...it's a DC YA Fan fiction. A three way merging of suck.

Edit: the fact they refuse to kill anyone off (or rather keep them dead) makes this one of the lamest shows I've ever seen. This takes "no one's ever really gone" to a whole new level.

The movie of my childhood, I've rewatched this so many times, I've started to know it off by heart. Absolutely amazing.

It seems like this entire story stems from one woman (Serena) being so baby-crazy that she sells out her entire sex to fundamentalist Christians...

I hope everyone that wanted a second season is happy with this shitfest they got. Dropped at 2x07.

Truth makes the best fiction. Great documentary-adaptation.

Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z on Cartoon Network was the greatest lineup ever on afternoon cable. I didn't really understand the story as a kid, but it's interesting as an adult.

Visually beautiful film and the performances are great, especially from Bale. However, the pace is slow as molasses in the first 3/4s of the movie.

Cheating is one thing...going full Mengele and testing on primates is unforgivable.

A literal fever dream of a shit movie. It's exhausting to watch.

The spiritual predecessor to Archer. The election in the second season is better than ever, especially in this era of politics.

The best thing about Tim and Eric is the unflinching conviction they have to the story, no matter how bizarre or stupid it is; usually it's both.

This show is great if you take it as seriously as the writers of the show do. It's stupid and it's supposed to be. It ends up being hysterical and a lot of fun to watch. We don't have too many silly shows airing now that are enjoyable to watch, but this is one.

My favorite thing about this episode was recognizing locations from lost.

It's the best. Ahead of its time.

I watch this and Die Hard every year between The Santa Clauses just to keep me from getting too cheery.

I’m an unashamed Bad Santa apologist. Billy Bob Thornton’s booze-fuelled chain-smoking fat-chick banging train-wreck Santa is something I revel in seeing at Christmas if only to cut through the sickly sweetness of everything else in the season.

This isn’t always a laugh out loud funny film but the sheer lunacy of what happens on screen keeps you grinning. Drunk logic drives the plot, making it an unpredictable experience, yet it somehow all comes together. This is at some expense; Bad Santa starts to feel a little monotonous in the middle to final third.

What I value the most is the way Santa only just begins to think about changing his ways as the credits roll. Zwigoff points out that people can have a good heart yet can’t always magically sort out their lives in 90 minutes as Hollywood would have you think. It takes time, and sometimes never works out at all.

Not a great film by any means but Bad Santa never fails to strike a chord with me. Your mileage may vary.

EDIT: upon rewatch, I believe the open bar and pageantry of the premiere enabled me to put on goggles that shielded me from the trainwreck that is this film. Rian Johnson is a sorry excuse for a writer. It will probably be retconned at least 5 times in episode 9.

World Premiere Review: Vague, Spoiler-Free Edition

It was amazing. It still does nostalgic fan service, but nowhere near what Episode 7 or Rogue One felt like. It feels like its own film. It gets a little slow and repetitive in the last half of the first third of the film, but after the major show down in the middle of the film, it's non-stop action that's brilliantly paced. GO SEE IT!

Sarah Michelle Gellar basically plays Buffy again.

I still can't believe this aired on broadcast television.

Family / Comedy. Emphasis on former. Not really diggin' it.

This isn't what I expected. I was just imagining Big Bang Theory-esque scenes, but this is more like In the Middle with Sheldon. I like it. Still had me cracking up too.

After watching the pilot episode , I'm not hooked yet . I'll give it a few weeks to get better . Pilot had no laughs for me . Casting seems good , especially his Mother . They're kind of in a dangerous genre , first it's a spin-off , and second it's a retro family comedy . There are always lots of family comedies to choose from . Right now in fact one of the best retro family comedies of all time-The Goldbergs- happens to be running . I'm a fan of TBBT , especially Sheldon , but I'm not necessarily going to watch Young Sheldon . November 2 is the scheduled date of the second episode .
Edit - After 5 episodes , I can say that I still don't find the show funny . The male characters seem to be the weakest link in the show . The Father , brother , and Tam are forgettable while his Mother , sister and Grandmother actually have personality . That said , it's still quite watchable for rainy day viewing .

Very well paced, doesn't take itself too serious. Just an extremely accessible and fun film. The mashup of themes and the cinematography were spot on. I can't really put the film into words, it just gives you a feeling. As cheesy as that may sound.

Not as interesting or engrossing as American Crime Story, but still pretty well done. You can definitely tell the tone of show is presented from Edie Falco's character's POV as the show presents the Menendez boys as worthy of sympathy.

The nursing home raps are amazing

Idk what to do now, i'm dead inside.

First decent episode in a long time.

Good lord, what is that dialogue? I don't remember the characters in season 1 being quite this bizarre and unrealistic, Holly Hunter notwithstanding.
