Full stop, Pluribus is the best new thing I've watched in 2025. Not just TV.

Incredible finale.

...but also some very fairy tale-esque imagery to contrast against it.

Just an absolutely classic Spielberg shot.

Holy crap, today's Pluribus. It's a tough call, given the quality of this show, but I feel pretty confident in saying that this has been the best one yet.

All the same parts of my brain are being activated right now and I'm starting to salivate over every little scrap of information that is doled out regarding this film. I can't wait to get a proper look at it.

With this being Spielberg's big return to sci-fi/blockbuster filmmaking and being shrouded in so much mystery, this whole pre-trailer hype period is starting to really feel like the buildup to Prometheus to me, with that film having been Ridley Scott's mysterious return to Alien/sci-fi in general.

Oh my God, how is Pluribus even a real show? Oh my God, how am I going to wait a week and a half until the next episode after that ending?

I know that options for screenings are limited, but absolutely make it a point to see this in a theater if you can. I dread what Netflix's compression has in store for the movie, and like the previous two films this one plays incredibly well to a crowded audience.

Caught this last night. My own particular biases regarding the subgenre and themes that this one is playing with likely factor in to some degree here, but I think this might just be my favorite one of these.

Josh O'Connor is incredible.

At the in-laws for Thanksgiving and it’s truly breathtaking how shitty movies look when motion-smoothed. It’s like the visual equivalent of someone farting in a room. Drives you right out.

When Carol's plan comes together in the new Pluribus... I don't understand how this writing team (major props to Alison Tatlock for this specific episode) manages to pull off these big, complex maneuvers/reveals and make them just feel so effortless

Best episode yet in a pitch perfect season so far

Just some fun connective tissue with the recent actors to have prominently played Elvis and then gone on to take on roles that have them cast as vaguely Engineer-esque figures. Must be something in the facial features... (2/2)

Knowing that Elvis Presley was (along with the Statue of Liberty and Michelangelo's David) one of the major influences on Prometheus' Engineers, this is even more interesting to put into perspective. (1/2)

Some thoughts I had on Hail, Caeser! after a rewatch last year. I love this little movie so much. It's grown into something of a real sleeper hit in the Coens' filmography, honestly, and I am all in on this reevaluation it seems to be receiving now.

Fan of the Badlands' diet-Dune/ elevated-Riddick/ Conan the Hunter of Trophies take on the Predator. Glad it's getting the recognition it deserves. Also worth acknowledging just how much Prey rescued the reputation of the series and set the stage for Badlands. Tratchenberg really can do it all.
