Fair enough! I'm definitely in the minority as far as opinions on that film go. Went in with pretty much no expectations but it still just rubbed me the wrong way on most levels. Nice cinematography though.

WTF why did I read @Deacon Blackfire posts on Marvel films when I’m only up to the first Avengers film? I had Homeland spoiled recently when Stephen King tweeted a plot point also, I really have to start watching stuff at the time they happen rather than 10 years later, it’s getting ridiculous (note I’m blaming myself for this, not him! Although Stephen King was dissed for his very recent spoiler)

Sorry, I should have put more overt spoiler tags on that post. My bad! : X
no it really wasn’t your fault, you have every right to comment on a film from last year! My problem is my kids are autistic and don’t do watching films all the way through or cinema going, my eldest is in a superheroes phase though through school so we’re slowly watching them one by one and playing catch up. I’ve enjoyed them so far
after seeing Enver Gjokaj in that season 2 episode of Community I was reminded of his terrific work in Dollhouse. That got me thinking about who is streaming it and if I should also rewatch it because it's short and only two seasons. Then after a spoiler conversation on a podcast about Westworld (I don't watch it so I have no idea what they're talking about) but it sounds a little bit like Dollhouse in a way.
And of course I just did a Google search and Google tells me that everyone on reddit has this thought every couple of months (as they do because no one searches before posting a topic over there). I guess if I watched Westworld I would have made the connection sooner? Oh well.
Side note: it's funny seeing how many people from Community made it to the Marvel films because of the Russo Brothers, but Enver was in the first Avengers movie which was Joss and he did Dollhouse.
My controversial opinion is that I think Enver should be getting more work. I don't know if Dollhouse was just a weird one-off or what but the way he was able to mimic the other actors while imprinted as them was pretty damn good. you know, as far as memories of a decade-plus later go.
I did forget that, didn't I. I blame it on the fact that I couldn't convince anyone else to watch it so that's a really big gap in my Marvel viewing.
wiki says it's on D+ so I guess I'll download the eps and watch those without them.
Enver was in Emergence, a series that aired on ABC last fall. It was excellent and I really hope we're going to get a second season.
And with that, the cat's out of the bag: I watch cable TV *insert collective gasp of horror here*. There has been quite a few series I greatly enjoyed for the last two seasons.
Here's a few: New Amsterdam, FBI, FBI Most Wanted, Manifest, Emergence and Prodigal Son.
I’m only up to the first Avengers film in the MCU but I’m trying to figure out whether I find the character Pepper Potts annoying or if it’s specifically Gwyneth Paltrow that is putting me off Pepper Potts

I don't like It Follows. I feel like I'm one of the few who just hated that movie.
Yes! It just confused me how it got so much praised for a "John Carpenter feel" and I was thinking they just ripped it off. It didn't feel like a "smart choice" to me. I'd rather just watch Carpenter's movies. Another thing that bugged me was the unclear timeframe. Sometimes it felt like the present, sometimes it felt like the past, and at times it felt like the future. That was something else that was praised but I found it annoying and distracting.
While I do like Stranger Things, I think it kind of spawned the media obsession with 80s inspired movies and shows. If done well it works, but other times it's just unnecessary.
Just watched Iron Man 3 and, yes, Pepper has definitely grown on me, loved the ending.
One thing I find sometimes takes me out of films a bit is when actors from the soap Neighbours (Australian soap that became randomly massive in the UK and spawned Kylie Minogue) turn up in things, so Guy Pearce threw me for a loop, OMG it’s Mike from Neighbours. The same happened in Lost when Jim Robinson from Neighbours turned up as an enemy. I don’t think Neighbours played or caught on in the US but I can’t overstate its popularity in the late 80s UK!
