What a great movie. Beautifully shot, some great scenes, some very cool dialogues...and damn, George C Scott, Jason Miller and Brad Dourif are terrific.

Still thinking about it. This one makes karras’ sacrifice of the first one more powerful and also sad. It also makes the demon more evil.

Scott is hilarious in much of the film and the scares really balance out what could fall in to a procedural escapade. The horror overall felt more menacing than the first seeing as the demon was pretty free to roam vs a more fixed conduit in the original. After the shitshow that was The Heretic I felt it was an apt end... and no, I'd prefer not to discuss Dominion/The Beginning or the television series, ever.

I fucking love George C Scott performance. His friendship with the priest is so fucking good...the dialogue is perfect. I love how this goes to some serial killer to Karras, to the relationship between Scott with him and the priest. Its so well done.

I remember watching The Beginning at the movies and thinking it was fine. Very well shot. For some reason, being im a big Paul Schrader fan, i havent seen Dominion. Ill watch it soon.

Is the tv series worth the watch? Its on Prime...

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Late Night. Fun enough. Emma Thompson is a literal goddamn genius who really doesn't get talked about enough. The movie is 100% with watching just for her performance.

I really want to see Queen and Slim.

I hated Late Night. I thought it was awful but you are right with Emma being a genius. She lifted everything around her...her scene talking about her husband? about her affaire? Amazing.

Her every beat is perfection. The script is very messagey and on the nose. It's sometimes awkward and often shallow but Emma treats it like fucking Shakespeare. She's so present and committed on every moment.

It was embarrassing. The movie is awful, i slept like three times, and didnt cared about 10 minutes in. Mindy Kaling is one of the worst comedian around these days. She is truly horrible.

I find her to be very hit or miss. Kelly Kapoor is awesome. The Mindy show is bad. Her book was funny. Her other appearances are not.

Yeah her work on The Office -- especially as a writer -- keeps her out of any kind of "worst comedian around" category. I don't love her as a performer. Agree with you there, trag, that she's hit/miss. I really didn't like The Mindy Show either. Bailed half way through S1.
