I’ve been playing I Still Believe on my guitar for the past 4 months or so since I rewatched & listened to this soundtrack.

So fuckin good.

Echo rules.
THE LONG WALK is so good. Great adaptation!

I’m pleased.
It’s ok to End Nazis
ICE GOONS opened fire on a car full of children, their mother screaming for their lives. This is absolutely insane 🤬
That flick & soundtrack are unreasonably terrific.
FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES intro should probably be shown in Washington State History courses.

Bad Boys. Goldeneye. The Patriot. La Femme Nikita. The Core! he stole so many films. what a fantastic actor. Rest in peace.
Microsoft being pussies about Halo reminds me of Marvel being pussies about the Punisher.

They COULD do something about it but just chose not to.

Spineless.
Damn! He was always so freakin great.
Damn. Rest in peace, Tchéky Karyo. What a unique presence and voice. He will absolutely be missed.
The Dolphins are a team I will always root for unless they’re playing GB.

I have zero reason for this beyond

1) I love their stupid team colors/logo

2) Ace Ventura

I don’t give a care.

You should only be interested if it's the first-of-its-kind that doesn't openly discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, doesn't funnel its profits into hate organizations that destroy lives, doesn't go out of their way to only hire Christian employees, and doesn't lick the president's boots.
I hope it’s the basis for the original concept of 2.

Stu is running the Stabber Gang from prison.
It makes perfect sense. Or it doesn’t & fuckin I have no idea anymore.

AI was always a military tool
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Honeypot intelligence gathering isn't just for Russians.

Nice work ladies. Keep your pepper spray close.
A group of women is intentionally dating ICE agents to take photos of them without their masks. These women deserve recognition as true heroes.
I don’t mind giving up & comers a shot & if they’re allowed to play with an IP that could be amazing but they also need to pepper in more Ti Wests/Wingards as you mentioned.

Ultimately, I prefer the earlier iterations of the series from the architecture of the story perspective
“Chapter 2: I was looking for a job and then I found a job. We’re the Smiths.”

“Chapter 3: I’m miserable now.”
“Safe Haven” is still the best story from the series to me.

I agree with your assessment. Each installment has at least one terrific segment.

And I miss the wraparound involving the “Tape Masters”, where people found the piles of tapes.

I’m not as big a fan of the single tape concept.
“Ello. I’m Michael Myers. Lovely to greet you. Now my dear, I must kill ya. Sorry love.”
Steady income from a snappy job.
The only fuckin former CIA officer I want to hear anything from is Tom King.

Supergirl was the tits.
Nothing gets the average voter more fired up than “moderate former CIA officer from the suburbs” jfc
How many people will say Mamdani should be a national model for Democrats while ignoring the fact Spanberger, a moderate former CIA officer from the suburbs, will likely do far more bonkers numbers?
It really was & I think she was let down by the script/editing here
