Reply to comment by fauxfilosopher in Just finished better call Saul. Absolutely loved it; but can’t stop comparing it to breaking bad and can’t decide which one is the better show. by [deleted]
Same. The female characters are so much more enjoyable to watch. I’ve always been annoyed by Skyler and Marie’s I’ve met in life, but the Kim Wexlers I’ve known are women I deeply revere and you can tell they really did the work to write better characters than BB. And yes I’m including Betsy Kettleman.

The tea I heard was that he wasn’t getting his work done so D&D had to kick him off the show so he could work on the books. People say the Purple Wedding episode was good because GRRM wrote it when he only wrote the first draft. He was trying to introduce all the other book plots (like Ramsey’s wife who gets raped by dogs instead of Sansa) and the writers had to change it so it’d fit the show.

Shae was a much more interesting character in the show and giving her the same book fate made no sense to me. Season doesn’t work for me for that reason. Wish they went off book for her.

Write your own stories you nerds, or leave it to the people who know what they’re doing. You don’t need to use a machine to mine their work for alleged original content.

I think the best resolution is to make your community better in whatever way you can. It’s what Miyazaki is all about.

Rushed? I don’t felt hat way about it at all. We may not be with them on their road to recovery because it’s going to take a long time, but we do get some glimpses of hope. It’s a beautiful ending. (If anything, I feel like Nausicaa was a little rushed.)

That’s the guy who sexually assaults his teenage groupies, yeah? Also keeps getting work in Hollywood when this has been documented for over twenty years?

Julia Louis Dreyfus deserved every win over Amy Poehler. I know P&R have vocal fans and I could see why Leslie was a popular character, but Selina Meyers was just demented and I feel like not enough people watched the show.

Reply to Which Is Better And Why, Steven Spielberg's West Side Story Or In The Heights? by ForerunnerAI10
In The Heights was beautiful and written by someone from the community. West Side Story has great music and excellent marketing, but even Stephen Sondheim who wrote the lyrics said the story wasn't very good.

The children were always gassed first. That movie is garbage written by someone who never studied the Holocaust. Watch Son of Saul and Shoah to understand what it was really like there.

I like the melodrama of the show, but it definitely repeats itself. And Veep is the vastly superior show when it comes to creative insults.

If Ke doesn’t win, I’ll never watch the Oscars again and I’ve been watching since the Billy Crystal years. Film nerds are keeping that show afloat.
