re: Harry, Hermione & Ron cast for HBO Harry Potter series - Update, Malfoy casting
Posted by Crimson K on 6/9/25 at 8:01 pm
This was on my YouTube homepage today. I have no idea the credibility of this YouTuber. I’m assuming because I have participated in this thread that the algorithm put this near the top of my page.
ETA: I have nothing against Lithgow, but he isn’t a great choice for Dumbledore. Sides the obvious being American thing, he is way too old to cast in what they hope to be a decade long series production.

I don't think you can hit a kicker after he has made contact with the ball. Cheap shot.

Loved the Viking and Japanese segments. The WW2 one was over the top a bit IMO. Some really cool Predator weapons in all 3 parts. I’ll echo what others have said and say it is way better than it has any business being. Initial reaction is it’s the best in series since the OG. Enjoyed it a lot.
SPOILERS***
-Loved the idea that the notion of Grendel came from a Predator.
-The non-verbal storytelling in the Japanese segment was SO well done. —The third act suffered in comparison. Dude leaving the cockpit of a fighter plane to go out on the wing mid dogfight was some BS.
-was that not the gun that Danny Glover gets at the end of P2? Does that out this somewhere before 90s?
-Wonder if Arnold is somewhere in that cryo repository too
-It’d be interesting to see the Preds vs some other aliens species too

You know your coach at TU pretty much owes where he is completely to Saban. Do d Sark somehow make it out of Ttown totally unaware of all that cheating you claim? Or did TU rise up because your boy learned how to cheat from the master?

Having that locked in with no last minute panic reshoots a la F4 seems to be an encouraging sign that they have a movie they are happy with a couple months out.

Harry and Ron look a little too clean cut in this pic. Just nit picking as I'm sure they will roughen their look up a bit for the show.
re: Harvard loses ability to enroll foreign students

Yikes, how does *that* work?
Universities that accept foreign students are required to have an officer that issues an I-20 form, which means that the student has been accepted to the university and can then apply for a student visa. My guess is Harvard has had their right to issue these forms revoked, which means no student from another country can apply for a visa with acceptance to Harvard.
re: Have you ever felt unwelcome in a small town?
Posted by Crimson K on 5/16/25 at 11:27 am
From the early 90s: My grandparents were from a small town (less than 500 people in total) in Northeast Mississippi (Tishomingo). I grew up in the Nashville area. Once I went straight there from college for a holiday and got pulled over for my Tennessee plates when I turned off the main highway that went through town onto one of the side roads. I asked why I got pulled over, and was totally ignored. The cop was pretty suspicious and straight up asked me what I was doing in town and if I was planning on sticking around. Dude was resting his hand on his sidearm the whole time.
The town was so small they didn't have formal elections for some city roles. It was on a rotation for some of the older town members. My grandfather, who owned the auto parts store in town, was serving as mayor at the time. When I dropped his name to the cop, the guy changed his whole attitude in a hurry and I got a police escort to the house (which was like a 1/ 2 mile in total).

Trailer is a banger, but I'm still not on board with that suit.
Lois grilling him was good, but not sure I dug how quick he went petulant with his responses.

A Clockwork Orange.
Long ago, when I was a young man, my father said to me, 'Norman, you like to write stories.'
Another submission that should be easy…
I shall tell you of William Wallace.

68 on Metacritic which is top 15 of the whole MCU and the same score as Infinity War.
It has some decent parts to it, and it avoided some of the pitfalls of more recent Marvel films. However, this movie was not anywhere close to as good as IW. That is just crazy talk.

Agree with others about S1. It was strong. You can stop after that though.

I thought the writing was quite strong
I thought the character stuff was good, but the story plot was a little nonsensical at times. Maybe part of that is I hadn’t seen the Cap movie from earlier in the year and didn’t remember some of the characters from Black Widow so well.
Just little dumb stuff like having a countdown clock for the people you are about to murder seems so lame. The whole Valentina project was not fleshed out at all. How did Bob get to the bunker ina a box? The head of that project just forgot to tell Val about him! Not explaining the dark Sentry’s powers and what exactly was happening there. All little things that made the story just feel a little off for me.

UGA had losses to 2 former West teams. This was the most SEC losses since 2019. That seems retry significant.

Having seen it, I'd give it a solid 6/10
So a late showing last night, and that’s pretty much where I am on it too. I thought your assessment was pretty spot on. There were a lot of things about it that I liked. The overall story and writing were lacking though. For the most part, the actors themselves were good. I especially liked David Harbour. However, I think there was a real overestimation of knowledge and connection to the Yelena character. The actress did a fine job, but I didn’t really care that much about her character.
ETA: The knockoff Cap was also better than I expected. It’s hard to remember much from the bad Falcon show, but he had a decent minor arc in this. The Ghost character is cool in theory, but the actress didn’t have a lot to do. Bucky was underused/misused.
SPOILERS.
Her reintroduction scene where she murdered a lot of folks for laughs didn’t exactly put me on her side. Bucky has a congressman was also a little jarring.
The Valentina character as the behind the scenes big bad was meh. Her plan to take out the team in the underground bunker was just flat out stupid. Saying that, I did really enjoy the first half of the film.
Bob/Sentry has some promise as a character, but it seems like they really don’t know what to do with him. Him being so overpowered is going to create some issues if they plan to use him moving forward from here. When he went all dark, it wasn’t exactly clear What the hell was going on. So dude basically sent all of New York into some guilt/shame zone and then brought them out when he felt better? How the team beat him was a little anticlimactic to me as someone said earlier. Defeating a Superman character with a group hug… Really?
END SPOILERS
It is a midtier Marvel movie. Better than some of the recent stuff has come out, but nowhere close to the heyday. I would like to see more of these characters in the future, but to me, this was one I could’ve waited to see streaming.
