Vince Vaughn sucked so hard in season 2. Terrible, terrible, acting. Sad!

Make True Detective great again!

I feel dirty lusting after Aunt May.

Marisa Tomei is not your father's Aunt May.

Lust away my friend. Lust away.

Also I thought the complaints that Marisa Tomei was too young to be Aunt May funny. How often does a 50 year old female movie star get accused of being too young?

Yeah, like many here, I groaned when it was another young Spider-Man, knowing I'll stab someone if I hear "with great power blah blah blah" again, but then we got Civil War, and then the trailer, and I'm sold. Like you said, we're getting an actual awkward teen instead of a mid 20s person pretending to be an awkward teen. And yeah, Tom Holland is an attractive guy, but he still comes across as awkward and you can imagine a nerd starting to grow into himself, whereas Andrew Garfield looked like a model with perfect model hair getting bullied for being, I dunno, 25 and still in HS?

Tobey Maguire was 27 when he first played Spiderman, and 32 in Spiderman 3. So basically twice as old as he should have been.

When Marvel made the deal with Sony to use the Peter Parker Spider-Man in the MCU I was hoping that just once we would get a full grown man version of Peter instead of this continual high school retread.

I know that for a good percentage of the comic book's lifetime Peter Parker was in either high school or college...but isn't 6 movies enough? (oh wait, my bad...got to cover all the demographics right? :P)

That said, for what they chose to do Holland seems like a great fit.

PS: Good news is that Legion is awesome. Bad news is that Iron Fist sounds like it was written by teenage interns on their first project and the pacing makes my pet tortoise get up and leave the room out of boredom.

From watching the trailers, this seems like the first time they've truly captured Spiderman-as-student well.

Agreed. I'd love to see some more adult oriented movies where the heroes are older, more grizzled and bitter after their decades of the grind fighting crime.

Logan?

Haven't seen it yet so I don't know but that's what I've heard.

I miss Deadwood. Such a great show.

Black Lung Disease is here to stay

I liked season 2 but it sort of fell apart after a good initial build up. Early on the writers did great character work but by the end they resorted to lame cliches to let the plot limp over the finish line. A very simple story told in an incredibly convoluted manner with a lot of silly red herrings and other annoyances. Despite all of that the season was saved by great performances and one of the best shoot out scenes in recent history.

McAdam's deserved better, the last few episodes she was reduced to traditional gender roles that seemed totally out of character. Farrell's intensity was incredible and the real standout performance. Vince Vaughan did his best in the most tragically miscast role I've seen in a long time. Kitsch was even very good, I've seen that character type already in many other police dramas but he managed to make it interesting.

I think their big problem was that they didn't really seem to know where they going, the show felt it veered off the deep end after the midway point. I would gladly give it another shot, an average season of True Detective is still heads and tails above most other shows.

ITER will produce heat, not electricity. But if it works — if it produces more energy than it consumes, which smaller fusion experiments so far have not been able to do — it could lead to plants that generate electricity without the climate-affecting carbon emissions of fossil-fuel plants or most of the hazards of existing nuclear reactors that split atoms rather than join them.

Yeah Mr. White! Yeah science!

I liked season 2 as well as hard to follow as it was. Didn't help season 1 was as great as it was.

I still think the True Success of the first season of True Detective is down to the acting chops, chemistry and supremely interesting character studies from Woody Harrelson and Matt McConaughey.... the storyline was pretty good but nothing earth shattering

that one scene in the projects with the 6 minute non-edited shot was pretty fucking impressive too

i think the only way to replicate the magic is to get another pair of oddball wildcards... maybe something like Mads Mikkelsen and Michael Shannon... or how about Denzel Washington and Walton Goggins

Berlin is giving away everything to anybody asking, so why not give some change to some poor criminals?

So, these guys just climbed up to a window, opened it, took the coin, and left? Great security!
