I don't know how to feel about this film. There were multiple times that I wanted to turn it off, but I kept watching just to uncover the mystery. Only when the last scene ended did I realize it has to be viewed as a whole, and cannot be judged until the film is completely over because the last scene really puts the everything into a different perspective. Admittedly, I had to look up an explanation on Google to understand it a bit better, but I'm not versed in Greek mythology so the logic of the film kind of went over my head. The time loop is basically meant to be a representation of the allegory of Sisyphus, and that adds a point to the score for me because it gives a bit more satisfaction to the never-ending time loop. I won't bother explaining it here because you can find far better explanations on Reddit. In reality I'd probably give it a 6.5 but I'll go with 7 to not bring the score down.

Dave
(2020– )
Loving it so far
6 March 2020
FX has a promising show here and I really hope this season gets good enough ratings for it to be renewed. The episodes have good stories, funny jokes, witty one-liners, and a nice serving of reality. There are also funny/entertaining cameos featuring famous rappers. Dave is a very relatable character, and if you have enjoyed any of Lil Dicky's songs/videos then you will probably enjoy the show. Excited for the next episode.
Pearl Jam Twenty
(2011)
The film that bought Pearl Jam a spot in my favorite bands of all time
12 May 2019
To be fair, before seeing this film, I had grown up with Pearl Jam's music through my dad. And though I "liked," or "didn't mind," their music, I had always seen them as a "dad band." That is, until my dad and I watched this film together upon its release, and I realized for myself truly how amazing Eddie, Stone, Mike, Jeff, and Matt are. I was only 13, but the events and interviews shown in this documentary changed my opinion on the band (and possibly on music in general) forever. Since then, I have seen it countless times, and it has not loss its brilliance. I can't quite put it into words, but the way that Crowe portrays the humanity of the band and its members really makes you look at them and their music differently. It covers everything from the band Mother Love Bone, which spawned Pearl Jam (unfortunately due to the death of its lead singer), to Pearl Jam's massive popularity in the 90's, and to their continuing legacy today. This documentary/film is a must-watch for any fan of Pearl Jam, and for anyone who is at all interested in the band or likes any of their songs. I guarantee you will be a bigger fan coming out of it than you were going in.
Bad way to end what is already the worst season
8 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The episode had me laughing consistently due to Frank's increasing facial injuries, but other than that the tone and subject matter of Mac battling his homosexuality were much more serious and not comedic at all. I was enjoying the dancing scene at the end, until I realized that it was the last scene. At that point I put my head down and realized that Always Sunny is no longer a 5 star show.
Not nearly as bad as everyone here is saying
27 October 2018
As a long time and hardcore Sunny fan, I was laughing consistently throughout this episode after the point where Charlie got left alone. Definitely one of the best so far in what is looking to be potentially one of the worst seasons, and I don't think the amount of hate this episode is getting here is fair. Charlie's performance in this episode is fantastic and that alone made it great for me. Looking forward to next weeks continuation.
