Fixing Game of Thrones

May 16, 2019May 16, 2019Leave a comment

I was less than thrilled with the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones, and I’m definitely not alone. So I wrote a little something about a few small changes that would have greatly improved “The Bells”. Check it out on Trashwire.

As someone who was feeling pretty burned out on Star Wars, I greatly appreciated that The Mandalorian and Grogu was a standalone story. It’s much easier to have fun when every scene isn’t trying to set up a spinoff, create an applause break for a legacy character, or push forward a larger phase of a cinematic universe. It feels bold to release a movie like The Drama when media literacy has declined so much. This is now a Carl stan account. Project Hail Mary hits a perfect balance between sci-fi, humor, and heart. We get the enormous scale of space, but also a story grounded in emotion, due in large part to a phenomenal performance from Ryan Gosling. Sam Rockwell is a man from the future, trying to save humanity from an AI-driven technological apocalypse in Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, from director Gore Verbinski and writer Matthew Robinson. With Send Help, Sam Raimi reminds us that he is a master at balancing horror and comedy, turning a simple scenario about a downtrodden employee (Rachel McAdams) stranded on an island with her horrible boss (Dylan O’Brien) into a delightfully tense, bloody, fun movie experience. I’ve watched over 300 movies this year, but these were my faves. Which ones have you seen? Martin Scorsese received a lot of pushback for comparing the Marvel films to amusement park rides, but James Cameron seems to have embraced that for his Avatar franchise. Much like the previous two films, Avatar: Fire and Ash is about the experience, about popping on your 3D glasses and letting the IMAX screen fill your field of vision as you and your fellow audience members spend a few hours transported to the world of Pandora. Timothee Chalamet delivers a captivating performance as a fast-talking table tennis player in relentless pursuit of greatness in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme.
