At least one of the cast members is pro- Palestinian activist (Liam Cunningham) which at least makes me hopeful it'll be decent.

I don't understand this movie. I can't tell what the vignettes of the janitor represent and I don't fully grasp the symbolism of the following:

• The tyre chains
• The rapid aging of Jake's parents
• The main character's name changing
• the main character's changing major
• the snow (it shouldn't be snowing in Oklahoma)
• the father's bandage
• the childhood photograph that is both the main character and Jake
• the ice cream shop Furthermore, I don't quite grasp what is literal and what is symbolic in each segment.

To me this seems like a movie about decision paralysis and anxiety. I see the motif of change moreso than anything else in the story and am the differential outcomes. Of course, I might just be projecting my own fears unto something I don't understand. On further thought, I think I just don't know what's happening and it unnerves me as a result. For some reason I found this movie scarier than most horror movies. It might just be because of the general unnerving atmosphere and confusion. Lastly, the ending makes no sense whatsoever. I have no idea what just happened. Not even a semblance of a clue.

I might just be bad at fiction.

In season 10 episode 3, Mulder is shown reading over old archives while throwing pencils into this poster. Scully walks in and exclaims "Mulder! What are you doing to my poster?!".

This highlights how Mulder becomes increasingly disillusioned with his life long obsession, as he has recently learned that his sister was just part of a government experiment, meanwhile Scully always humored him but is now taking on more the Mulder role as she seeks answers to the origin of her child and own abduction.

It is now T-7 days until we watch the season 3 finale, season 4 premiere, and the spinoff film Equestria Girls, and I've gotta say that I'm hyped for that, too. But right now, we still have six more episodes of season 3 to get through, including a few status quo changing episodes!

What's the chef cookin' tonight?

"Wonderbolts Academy" represents a major turning point in Rainbow Dash's Wonderbolts arc as she begins, well, training to be a Wonderbolt. This arc will reach its conclusion (or perhaps negation-of-negation) in season 6. This episode also features Bulk Biceps, Spitfire says a meme line, and I believe this is the first episode to actually feature a fan-made character design! Specifically a pony OC created by the daughter of show staff member Ridd Sorensen.

"Apple Family Reunion" is an episode that to me doesn't seem particularly memorable, aside from the musical number — and of course the meme misheard lyric of it — but for those of us who like Babs "Bronx Accent, Blank Sides" Seed... Hay, she is in this episode, if only briefly, so there's that.

"Spike At Your Service" is an episode in which Spike insists on becoming somepony else's servant, namely somepony who doesn't even want a servant. And I know you all just love Spike's somewhat questionable relationship to Twilight Sparkle, so we're in for a good time with this one, for sure!

"Keep Calm and Flutter On" sees the return of John de Lancie's character Discord, who we last saw all the way back during the season 2 premiere. This episode more specifically is about Discord's acceptance of the Magic of Friendship, and also (cutie) marks the beginning of his implied crush on Fluttershy — a ship which the fandom certainly expanded upon! This episode also includes a "writers forgetting the characters are horses" moment, and unrelated to that, the original story outline was literally written by a 15-year-old, which I can only assume makes Teddy Antonio the youngest writer MLP:FiM ever had.

"Just for Sidekicks" is another episode that's kinda forgettable for me, it has a brief background appearance of Peewee the Phoenix that ties up that loose end, but otherwise... Yeah, Spike goes petsitting for the Mane Six. The mane thing that's kind of interesting about this episode is that it's an alternate perspective of the following episode:

"Games Ponies Play" is a fairly typical mistaken identities plot involving the Equestria Games, which is basically MLP's not-Olympics, except with cities instead of countries... Which I guess is still just the Olympics, just the ancient rather than modern kind. In any case this is kind of an interesting episode in hindsight, because the season 3 finale, which we'll watch next week, many bronies thought was likely the series finale (see: 65 episode cartoon) — yet "Games Ponies Play", the penultimate episode of season 3, released one whole year before Sochi 2014, actually sets up season 4's recurring plotline cashing in on it.

...I dunno, I just think that would've been a very strange move if they actually intended to end the show after season 3, but I'm rambling.

♫ Station of the '20s — TV☆3SIS! ♫

I love this show, and I have a strong feeling this isn't going to add anything to it. Have any of these "new" seasons for long canceled shows ever been good?

I used to watch it sporadically when it aired and started watching it from the begging now, just finishing 3th season. I knew it had racial/racist jokes but I'm shocked with the amount of transphic jokes it has. I tried to see if there were some discussion around it, but I only found a video from T1J focused on the racial content but he didn't mention the transphobia even once.

Have she ever talk about that? Like acknowledging if was transphobic or something? Or is her writing still like that?

For this Friday Movie Night, first up is Killer of Sheep (1978), a working-class drama about an African-American forced to take up a repulsive job at a slaughterhouse to support his family. It’s a shit job, but he has to make ends meet somehow. He just needs to stay out of trouble, but his desensitization to his job is also making him a jerk at home. Will he find a way out before it’s too late? I guess we’ll find out. God Damn Amerikkka: The Movie. This is the best0known and best-regarded film of director Charles Burnett, who specializes in dramas focused on black Americans.

After that is Om Shanti Om (2007), a Bollywood singing-dancing-action-comedy-crime epic about an actor who is killed in the 1970s, and reincarnated in 2007. He seeks out his killer for some payback, and looks for his previous life’s love, as well. A whole bunch of over-the-top melodrama, humor, action, and musical numbers follow from there, in the usual maximalist style of Indian masala films. This is the most popular film of director Farah Khan’s career so far, and the best-reviewed, being one of the highest-rated Indian films on Letterboxd. Let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
