    Was there any scene in all episodes so far that did not have in it one of the 4 main characters or Birdman?

    Best way to get back at a fraudster?

    The fraudsters already proved a low level of morality and a reasonable level of ingenuity. I am not sure I would mess with such guys, because that could backfire. That said, if their little trick put them in the clear when it comes to paypal, I don't see how it is legal, so it should be possible...

    True Detective

    That visit to the parents is an exposition scene to show the kind of man Velcoro is. It works very well because it manages to say a lot of things about the man in a short and enjoyable scene. If anything, the lack of repercussion for it, also helps paint a context of distrust with local...

    The Revenant (2015)

    It's a remake of Saturday Night Fever. It's all about Stayin' Alive.

    The Revenant (2015)

    Lubezki is also the cinematographer of the XXIst century Terrence Malick movies (New World, Tree of Life, To The Wonder and up and coming Knight of Cups). So yes he is a badass of the highest order.

    Slow West

    Just saw this in a festival. It gets my seal of approval also. Very strange distanced humor, but very effective, and the plot does not have a gram of fat on it. Very good movie. PS: Good thing I searched before posting!

    Marshland aka La Isla Minima

    Saw this the other day in a festival and it's being released across europe these days. Since it has been released in Mexico too, I guess it can be found by anyone interested. Marshland is a very very classic 'cops sent to the boonies end up investigating fucked up murders with more...

    True Detective

    The tracking shot of season 1 could not be topped in its category, but the shootout in this latest episode is also extraordinary. I don't remember seeing such an epic train wreck. There are examples in movies and TV shows of police operations that go wrong, but usually that means cops deaths or...

    Tennis

    To put things into perspective, if you change the outcome of a grand total of 3 points in the whole match, Federer wins in straight sets (set point in the first set, break point in the third, game point in the third), so making definitive conclusions based on a close match where both had...

    Reserve a spot in hell for this guy

    A few years back there was a guy in France who did something similar. That was not chemotherapy, it was urostomy (hole in the abdomen to redirect the urinary flow through it) and stoma bag (a bag to collect the urine that now exits constantly from your side)... I am not sure how reversible the...

    Tennis

    I find it difficult to be that categorical. What happened today? 1st set: Federer was a break ahead thanks to a string of brilliant plays returning. He lost that lead immediately because he missed to many first serves and Djokovic played a brilliant passing shot. He had a couple set points on...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    It has nothing to do with being out of ideas and everything to do with predictability. It's very difficult to know how something new will fare, while market studies can give a pretty good idea of what kind of money a remake/reboot/sequel/franchise will do, so you can budget it accordingly. Also...

    Well... I am the first to be disappointed but I was at a movie festival and I only saw the first 8 games of the Federer vs Murray match. On the up side I got to see the only break point Federer faced! The only thing I can say is that I am slightly worried that he peaked too early. He played...

    No Man's Sky

    10,000 different creatures can seem like a lot or seem like very few. Let's say there are evenly split between air, ground and water, that they have 5 sizes, and have two dominant colors out of 10 shades. Suddenly, you have only 7 different creatures walking in the whole universe... I assume it...

    No Man's Sky

    The make of break factor in this game for me will be the range of their stuff generator. If it's too narrow, it will only provide shades of the same and will be boring quick. Let's hope it's so wide that you are constantly surprised by what's around the corner.

    Notice the alligator vs anaconda fight on the painting on the wall! But yeah that scene was a bit lynchian, which is ok in a dream sequence, but weird here (since it stands out). Maybe the idea is to step into the strange when it comes to the russian mobster to give him a kind of "anything can...

    Yeah he had been very clutch (I mean, winning a breaker against Djokovic when you are lead 4 love?), but today he missed some chances early in the fifth (most notably a forehand down the line that he put in the double's alley when it had absolutely no business being close to any line at all, as...

    Maybe you wait 3 months because you know that it's very likely he destroyed everything he had when his pal got arrested, but you also know that if you wait a while, he will gather some new stuff... That or it took a couple months to go through the pile of evidence they got from the first guy.

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    The sympathy here did not only come because of the context, it also came because it was a freak accident while doing the right thing. Missing the target with a penalty kick is only a source of compassion when it is in a shoot-out and the guy played a great match.

    It's very difficult to really understand what's up with Nadal. I think it's a combination of factors. - He said in interviews a few years back that he enjoyed being the hunter a lot more than being the prey, so he really did not enjoy much being World N?1 and feeling like he had a target on...
