A tiny moment as Charlize Theron/Megyn Kelly gives the audience a tour around the Fox offices. She stops by a row of cubicle pods to introduce us to her staff for The Kelly Show.
“We’re underground, so it smells like mold. But there hasn’t been a rat sighting in four months.”
She holds up four fingers for emphasis, and in the background, just before the shot cuts away, we hear her staff faintly declare “YAY.”
It’s just so pitiful lol. The movie is so well executed.
It hammers the theme of Family First more times than a Fast and Furious movie. But this is a ridiculous theme for a movie about the horrors of addiction and co-dependency. At one point, one character demands the other justify why they continue to enable the other person’s addiction. And the movie, with not a hint of self-reflection, says we enable each other’s addictions because that’s what family does for each other. We never give up. We never walk away. We stand by each other through the bitter end, one sinking deck of the Titanic at a time.
Apparently I’ve been able to stream Showtime for free for the past week, unbeknownst to me. Xfinity emails have been going to my junk folder. Today is the last day though fml.
Anyone seen Moon Base 8? It’s got Fred Armisen and John C. Reilly and Tim Heidecker so I assume it’s brilliant. I’m afraid to even mess with it because I’ll have to sign up for Showtime if it’s worth a damn, otherwise I can’t finish it.
I had high hopes for the flight attendant but had to bail after 2, its the typical “stupid protagonist makes incredibly bad choices yet worms her way out of trouble time and again” type show, dunno what Cuoco was thinking here.
Have to say I have been pretty impressed with the coverage of this so far. It’s amazing how far we have come in a few years in this issue. I’m sure there are some bad examples, but the several sources I have seen have been sensitive and well written.
