Will & Grace: Lows in the Mid-Eighties, Part II (2000)
Debra Messing's kitchen performance..
Debra Messing's performance in the kitchen while Will was coming out, after he came out, and then in the scene in the bar with. Ellen? That should be a case-study in the humor of the absurd in suffering.
Grace is utterly suffering. More than Will by far, and then it just piles on. She stands up for herself to him, but then Bobbie Adler comes in and crushes her. And then her sister crushes her even MORE. Then in the bar, Ellen DESTROYS her and that's when you know Grace is done with it because she defends herself by stopping Ellen.
Master class in comedy acting.
McCormack's brilliance? Body language in the bar during each and every setup for flashbacks. OMG.
Bad Boy (2018)
SO MUCH FUN. all the running jokes, the tropes...
So many familiar tropes and running jokes, but turned n their ears.
Great chemistry among all the players, especially Jim (Lizzie McGuire) and (Daddy) Scott (Marsh & Mallow).
I really love this show. I hope there are more seasons/episodes coming.
At first, the "production values" seem like it's going to be just another LGBTQ "web series" -- and the first episode is definitely a pilot and you should watch at least the 2nd to catch the real thrust of the series -- but the material is obviously full caliber and the performances are a gem.
I just keep wanting more screen time from all of them.
Ms. Marvel: Destined (2022)
Fun episode
I knew nothing about Muslim weddings. Amazing to see what was different and how much was the same to mainstream weddings. It really set up just how much was at stake when everything was on the line.
Real Rob (2015)
Mis-categorized
Thus might have gotten a higher score if my expectations hadn't been set by it being labeled as a comedy. Yikes.
Circus colors, telegraphed lines (hate to set YOUR expectations by saying 'jokes'), terrible writing, unnatural timing and all that Trumpish Orange makeup.
Star Trek: Picard: Absolute Candor (2020)
That flashback Vashti scene. Yikes
The acting and writing in the flashback scene on Vashti. Yikes.
I did a double take when I saw it was Frakes who directed it. I had to go see who wrote it. Chabon! How could a scene written by Chsbon and directed by Frakes be so mawkish and cloying at the same time?
They were speaking middle school words with table-read emotions the entire time. It took awhile just to shake off that scene to get back into a groove in watching the episode.
Nae ireumeun Kim Sam-soon (2005)
Fantastic
Beautiful and brilliant
I was introduced to this by Korean friends of mine not long after it aired. I loved it so much after the first couple of episodes I spent a very large amount of money (to pay for a TV series) to get the dvd set so we could finish watching it in better quality without dubbed English.
Seon-a Kim is wonderful and plays broad physical comedy as deftly as vulnerable and wounded - often at the same time. Amazing.
You can currently see it for free on Rakutan VIKI.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
This Spock goes where no Spock has gone before...
Spock becomes an aphorist. So trite itmslmost fits on a bumper sticker.
Incredibles 2 (2018)
So tired of this PC PROPAGANDA!
Seems like Pixar can't stop shoving their political agenda down our throats that animated characters can be superheroes burnflesh nd blood human beings cannot!
For that, I will therefore continue to watch their films, continue to buy their digital versions and recommend them to my friends! That'll show them!
