I've read that Season 6 is a bit of an improvement while Season 7 is "so bad it's good"...But yeah, I don't know whatever I can hold out that long 😝
Does Hitler trend more? It's also utterly moronic that Hitler has a board.
Been here since 2017 😉
Are you done? 😛
Lol yeah sure they are...And I'm not American.
The scene rang true to me given Tony's declining state & judgement & feelings towards his sister. The stewing over it would have added too much to a film already almost 3 hours long.
Though I never understood why Manny & Gina would think the volatile Tony would be okay with a surprise announcement of their marriage. Seemed the writers forgone that to heighten the drama.
My gripe is being greeted by a picture of his smirking mug upon entering this endless add-pop up of an abandoned site, and being reminded of all the engagement towards him instead of insightful discussion on film & TV boards.
What a waste.
Lol that's hilarious
Oh and my snarky review is also owed to the fact that I had to pay $40 to watch this dullfest 😝
Yes, it certainly is not a garbage show. The largely idiotic, vapid commentary on this board is nothing to go by (It'S GoNe WoKiNg DeAd! EvEn ThE SeCoNd SeAsOn WaS BaD! It WaS STupiD CaUse It WaS DuMb!")
Also contrary the hate, the final two seasons are ranked highly.
Exactly, publicising spin-offs before the main series ended was stupid & killed a significant amount of tension. Just before I watched the final few episodes my friend revealed the Negan and Maggie spin-off... 🙄
And hell yeah the evolving Walkers should have been introduced in Season 9. The whispering and knife wielding Walkers were absolutely terrifying until the Scooby-Doo mask off. I literally groaned and said "not another group, come on!". And as mentioned, stopped watching for awhile.
Likewise, I was really engaged with the series but gradually started losing interest around season 6. I kept on trucking through Negan and the Saviours, but I was sooo annoyed & disappointed when the Whisperers turned out to not to be evolving Walkers that I tuned out for about a year and a half.
To me is it was a major creative mistake in not having the Walkers advance (*spolier* they finally advanced in the final few episodes). The Walkers ceasing to be a threat that even little Judith could kick their arses caused the series to be stuck in repetition with no where else to go - just the same battles with outside forces repeated over and over. The endless colonies with many forgettable characters, coupled with the Walkers no longer being much of a threat, also ruined the sense of dread & isolation from the earlier seasons. And none of the latter inner group conflict matched that between Rick & Shane in my books.
Oh and that trash can colony with their own language was ridiculous.
Anyway, I finally resumed watching the remainder of the series as I wanted to see it to the end. Despite all of the above, I still managed to enjoy most of it. I got into the Whisperers storyline, enjoying the dynamic between Alpha and Beta, loved the Negan flashback episode & thought the Commonwealth was engaging & suspenseful enough. (Loved how it just repeated the class inequality & corruption of our own society). And of course, loved the Walkers finally evolving (too bad Kirkman...)
Didn't like the lack of finality though. Should have been more shocking and impactful.
Oh that be Swanston St, next to RMIT University and one street away from Elizabeth. The lawn is still a popular meeting & social spot for backpackers & students.
How tragic and heartbreaking. And a definite example of largely forgotten or otherwise untold history.
Brilliant response 👍
Exactly this and it's getting worse and worse. The same big sponsored results repeating themselves endlessly, only receiving Quora results when asking a question (which is unreliable user based & requires subscription to read through) & any results over a decade old being almost impossible to find.
I also remember when typing in a movie or show would immediately result in their official websites showing up.
YouTube has also become worse.
Oh you're welcome! And thanks again for sharing your time & posting those links 👍
I've always been immensely fascinated by little known or undiscovered history, personal biographies too, and history that that's considered unremarkable by most others.
For example, over the years I'll occasionally scour the Internet for any pictures or documentation that might exist of an old drive-in cinema that once stood in my suburb. I did somehow manage to find a program schedule for its opening night in 1971 where the first film shown was the Abominable Dr Phibes 😛
Even old street directories are a source of fascination. Discovering local streets & old establishments that no longer exist is always a trip for me.
Also enjoy reading old TV guides & listings for bizarre, forgotten programs.
And wow, the Melbourne State Library is not that far from me. What other things did you discover through microfilm there that's stuck with you? Who were those poor children from Britain & Canada abused by in the 1970s?
Wow, thanks 👍👍 That's really fascinating! What other fascinating artifacts have you unearthed in your work? The 1969 Australian travelogue sounds great too (I'm also Australian) What were her experiences & locations she visited?
Guess not 😛
I'll bump this shit again...
Yeah I know. That's why I rarely come here. Been this way for years.
