That short hit me square in the feels. Didn’t even need dialogue to make me cry. Shit I was crying just a few minutes in.
No idea how that doesn’t run away with awards in Academy Awards or any awards show. I guess a cynical person would call it Oscar bait. I call it something that was a bit too intense to watch again."
Wife and I watched this recently. Absolutely devastating. If you’re a human that doesn’t cry at it, I kinda get it, but if you’re a parent that doesnt cry you might need to do a humanity check. Holy shit.
Its funny, every time shes on screen in S1 is just objectively awful, but its really needed to get her arc across and she becomes a personal favorite later in the series.
A few more episodes into Raised By Wolves, what I’m loving so far is how effortlessly the storytelling dips into ancient mythology and religious themes. Also, the android actors are so great at inhabiting this uncanny valley space between being human and AI. What’s really frustrating is how badly this show uses digital color filtering. I know I complain about this a lot, but there are so many gorgeous landscape shots that are turned into a blue/beige soup. It’s like watching a black and white movie.
So dlk9s jr is in the thick of Breaking Bad and loving it. He’s actually kind of obsessed with it, which might be a little worrisome.
Wife, son, and I were watching last night and it was the big one, the episode where Gus dies. And there it is. Hector scrunches up his face, mashes the bell, Gus sees what’s happening, he yells, and BOOM, explosion.
And literally right then, right when we see the door blown out, our cable box (we were streaming via Xfinity’s Netflix app) decides to reboot. It was as if the explosion killed the cable. Timing couldn’t have been any more perfect/worse.
Fortunately, the big reveal wasn’t spoiled, so I just used the TV’s Roku app to keep going and dlk9s jr was gobsmacked.
