Go read a bunch of film reviews and take notes of the things they discuss the most?

Reply to Is there an expression for liking the the experience of watching a character regardless if they are likeable? by Holmbone
An anti-hero? Maybe a cowboy who doesn’t want to get involved but ultimately does, maybe a Clint Eastwood character?

The show is such a breath of fresh air and so funny!

I thought the film Emily the Criminal had way more Uncut Gems vibe than The Bear.

Mindy is the Executive Producer and voices Velma. If you don't think she had a part in writing or rewriting any of the scripts you've got to be high. Actors who are EP's and are the lead don't just show up and read the lines, they are heavily invested in the project and there is no way she didn't have any input at all in the writing of the show.

Reply to Was Bruce Willis in Die Hard the ushering in of the modern everyman action star? by SquatOnAPitbull
Yes, definitely that was the appeal. An everyman going up bad guys instead of buffed out Arnolds and Stallones. If I recall I think he made big money for it back then because he was coming off the hit tv show Moonlighting but the studio was unsure about having a comedy guy be an action hero. You should check out the really good making of it on the Netflix show "The Movies That Made Us" Die Hard episode and there is also a cool book out about the making of all the films.

Unless you have a center speaker made from an inferior speaker brand. Realistic brand anyone?

Reply to comment by swordfish1221 in Jack Ryan, Season 3- What did you think? by Smarkie
I completely agree. It started off interesting at first, but then after the Jack Ryan on the run and the nuclear device plot sort of ended it got dull and boring. I did like it when that Navy Seal threw Krasinski out of the helicopter in a real stunt. That was cool. But ultimately although it mirrors current affairs a bit, it was a pretty lackluster story and the worst season out of the three.

Reply to Jack Ryan, Season 3- What did you think? by Smarkie
Season 3 started off well with a decent run-of-the-mill nuclear device plot, but after that plot ended the last few episodes were really dull and uninspired. Not to mention, besides Greer and November, I really could care less about any of the other characters (even Krasinski this time gave us a very bland performance compared to other seasons). So definitely the worst season storywise out of them all for me.

You can definitely make a case for it being the best Bond film to date.
