The Boys, yes. Umbrella Academy? Not really.
I didn't want to give too much away but I'd call the saving the world part a big romp!Umbrella Academy's darker side has more to do with dysfunctional family issues. The saving the world bit is so sci-fi/unrealistic that it's more fun than dark and depressing. It's just not a realistic apocalypse.
I don't watch those parts. I make Mr. Mac tell me when I can start watching again.
or the bunny.
I just finished it last night. I agree it could have been tightened up a bit but it didn’t bother me. I really enjoyed it too.
I think that Austen wouldn't mind an update. I'm not sure she would 100% approve of the latest adaptation, but I think she would not mind it as much as her critics do as she was very much a modern girl, a maverick, and a bit of a rule breaker in her time. is fabulous and so over-the-top horrible that you have to root for her), are spot on but Captain Wentworth is just...boring. I can't imagine pining for eight years over...that. And he needs to brush his hair and shave. They had him act like a lesser Darcy and Darcy belongs solely at Pemberly.
I don't mind anachronisms sometimes----I thought Heath Ledger and "A Knight's Tale" was a fun take on Chaucer but then there was never a Chaucer based film before that I dearly loved. I simply hate the idea of someone who might be new to Jane Austen to see THAT as an example of her work. But I respect your openness to this latest foray.So, before I give this horrible, unpopular opinion, let me put it out there that I am no purist, especially when it comes to Austen. Austen herself wasn't as much of a purist as her fans are
I really, really, really like the latest Persuasion. And that's really saying something considering my deep, abiding loathing for Dakota Johnson, but I found her luminous and really, really, really relatable. I don't mind the breaking of the fourth wall; I think it works, especially as Anne is one of the more introspective Austen heroines. That in and of itself is worth four stars alone. I think the biggest problem with the casting is Captain Wentworth--Anne, Louisa, and Mary (OMG, MARY
If you watch it, watch it as if it's a standalone move and not based on the novel--think of it as "inspired by" rather than "based on." I FELT the line "now we're worse than exes...we're friends" and the playlist/mixed tape. I understand the criticism of the anachronisms, but I like them. I fully admit to laughing at a five in London is a ten in Bath, especially as a friend once told me that I should move to New Hampshire, as I would be a solid nine as opposed to a "Southern six on a good day." As a movie, it's fun and enjoyable and nice romp on a rainy afternoon with a cuddly dog and popcorn.
I just finished this. These are the type of reality contests I prefer. The ones where they actually have to create something tends to make the contestants more respectful to each other rather than cutthroat competition taking down an opponent. The original competition like this that hooked me in was Face Off. It definitely became a lot like a job interview in the industry so it was so important to be professional. These types are so much more enjoyable to watch. They are also things I could never do.
It's so stressful but interesting to watch.
I like both of those so might just hate watch.Can’t decide if my favourite part was Henry Goulding
It was so good. Probably the best thing I’ve seen TV wise in a year. I did have to turn away every time a knife was around, very stressful.
I was turned off by this film. In a way it is like watching a disaster film when a man is trying to get to his family and clearly everyone else is dying but not this one guy and his family…and his dog. Who cares about everyone else?
