Geez, the cynicism runs deep with this one.
The wages you're quoting is on top of the fact that they don't charge anything for any of this until the men start working at which point it is $100 a week for food, shelter, clothing, and transportation. Do you know how much the average recovery program costs a patient? About $6k a month. The purpose, community, and stability these men are finding here is priceless.
If there's one thing that the last 4 years proved its that the systems we have in place to check abuses of power are woefully slow to respond or to change. The only justice he might ever face is the Mangione variety.
Was it Hannibal Lecter?
"Sometimes I just like to be by myself and listen to my own thoughts. We can talk tomorrow though. You didn't do anything wrong."
Don't you know people who use the Internet can't be bothered to read the article!
I think the real answer is that at the time they were making Thunderbolts it was still unclear whether the Netflix shows would be canon. Maybe for Thunderbolts 2?
Season 1 was fantastic. Season 2 was all right. Season 3 was pretty bad.
I would love to see if they acknowledge whatever happened to Trish though
I watched it and would say the quality stays consistent for the most part. Some of the B plot gets a little over the top in the later episodes though
What the absolute fuck. I was just done with being a Mavs fan. And truthfully I probably will be until they fire Nico
No you have it backwards, it's DOM. As in, "I was bad so my dom had to punish me."
When you keep your eyes on the cross it makes the faces in the periphery seem distorted. Whenever you look at the faces they are normal though
An excellent reverse take on what you're describing: The Wicked + the Divine. Premise: every 90 years 12 gods incarnate as (adult) humans but only live for 2 years. They're essentially treated as international pop stars when they are discovered and they always have drama with each other
The Killer Angels is set in the American Civil War, so not really as far back as you described,but it really set the standard for modern historical fiction. The author used primary sources (letters, journals etc of the officers on both sides) to get as accurate a depiction of events, personalities, and inner thoughts as possible. It is the book that the movie Gettysburg is based on, but written like 20-30 years before the movie.
You did say you were open to worthy suggestions and I think this is really a worthy one.
Oh man. Perfectly skewers megachurch culture. Outrageous, over the top characters. Can be surprisingly heartfelt at times but also random dick shots that give you no warning whatsoever. It has a very Danny McBride feel, so if you like his other stuff you'll like this.
Most people say The Sopranos marked the beginning of the prestige TV era, because it was the first of a cluster of high quality, high production value shows that came out around the same time. But there are some precursors that come to mind, mostly from HBO. Rome and Oz, for example.
You could make a case to go back even further with shows like NYPD Blue (90s) or even Hill Street Blues (80s) as examples of high quality TV with long, dramatic character arcs, though these shows didn't have much in the way of contemporaries to define them as part of an era.
Did you get that thing I sent ya?
They are semi sentient if I recall. Like they have personality traits of the killed people they are based on but he does need to be concentrating somewhat to bring them into existence. But they can go light years away from him

Strange Darling spoiler discussion
Not sure how to spoiler tag so if I need to do that please let me know how.
I really liked this movie. I didn't know much about it going in and highly recommend it that way for anyone else. However for anyone reading this that hasn't seen it (apparently you don't care about spoilers), know that this is graphically violent thriller, and there's a pretty intense scene that could be a sexual assault trigger for some.
Right off the bat when they started us off in Chapter 3, I knew that things were not as they seemed. I think most people will be able to guess fairly early on that the "victim" is actually the hunter and the "hunter" is actually the victim here simply because the nonsequential storytelling is a tipoff. In less capable hands, this would be a gimmick that cheapens the movie. But it was executed so well I don't even mind that I could see the twist coming.
The director, JT Mollner, wanted this to be a movie that was primarily felt, and he succeeded. I was viscerally uncomfo
