Sam said recently in the pastemagazine article that they didn’t go through with bard’s lament at the end bc at the time they didn’t know if they would get another season so they didn’t want to potentially end the series on an angry/bitter note, but if more seasons get greenlit he has plans to honor it in some way… But that just makes me wonder how they’d honor/develop it in the future if he’s already with his daughter now

Oh I didn't know about this!! So that makes sense, even if it still unfortunately doesn't explain why most of Vox Machina didn't have any reaction about Scanlan being brought back..

And I also wonder how they would make bard's lament happen in later seasons? would it really make sense to have them reunite and then have him leave again?

The only thing I can think of is something like Scanlan asking for the others' help and the others refusing, so they fight he leaves for good, but it would be so out of character for them and also I imagine the separation would be way too definitive in this case... so yeah I have no idea really

“It was interesting because right when we started our interactions in Season 4, [it was clear] there was so much history there, which was so fun to play with. Us, as actors, we really weren’t sure what that history was—we knew it was seven years [since the Season 3 finale], but we weren’t really sure how things ended with her and I. We knew that we were separated, but how did that happen? It was just so, so beautiful to be able to go toe-to-toe with her and slowly reveal what our history actually was. And it’s a pretty intense one."

Delighted to see a full LONG LIVE EVIL review in @pastemagazine-blog - here are three of my favourite quotes and the reviewer even has a ship! (I find all ships complimentary as it means the reader cares. 🥹) ‘Pointed and hilarious, sincere and heartfelt by turns, building a fictional world that will feel familiar to readers but that takes narrative swings that are all its own’

and

‘From the charmingly nameless brothel owner called the Golden Cobra to the uber-violent and gleefully murderous guard known only as Key to the stoic knight referred to as the Last Hope, Brennan takes straightforward fantasy stereotypes and colors them in vivid shades of grey, giving them genuine depth and agency in a way that’s a delight to watch unfold.’

and

‘something that feels genuinely fresh and original, a reimagining that longtime fantasy readers will—and—should devour.’ 💜

The 100 Greatest EPs of All Time: —#67 Advice (2021) —Taemin is the only Kpop male act mentioned

"Advice is one of the best K-pop EPs ever made and an arresting spectrum of guitar riffs, string arrangements, synths and a push and pull between maximalism and minimalism."

Had the incredible opportunity to interview Adam Driver for the release of 65 this week 🎉 For @pastemagazine-blog, we Zoom’d about his early sci-fi inspirations, why he gave new(ish) directors Beck & Woods a chance, his affinity for working with kids & even his sparkling enthusiasm for his just wrapped role in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis.

"I can't tell if this is praise or shade. 😂" My take is that a whole lot of people no longer appreciate morally bankrupt or questionable characters. Society is doing some kind of puritanism rebound. But for a man who every actress he works with talks about how careful he is to make them feel safe to be called a moral abyss and the king of toxic masculinity is a huge win. He owns his roles in a way that not many actors could--or would even try to do because those roles scare them away. Yes, he's played several gross men in a row. But they're Never one note. They're a symphony of bad, with shades of evil and even sweetness all mixed up into complex, extremely real-seeming men. The caricatures are all those incels on Twitter.

Anon 2: I can't tell if this is praise or shade. / I mean do you want every review to be positive or do you want an average understanding of how the movie as a whole is perceived by people, not a fan bubble stan? At the end of the day, you'll see the movie and draw your own conclusions. P. S. Thanks to the anonymous person who sent in reviews.

Anon 3: Another convert. It's really amazing to me how many people basically just have ignored him. His lack of dialogue in the MCU really hurt him with a lot of critics: "And Stan, an actor I’ve not previously had a strong sense of, has never been so arresting on screen. His cool nonchalance gives “Sharper” a bracing edge. The scenes that pair Middleton and Stan together are its most potent." apnews*com/article/sharper-film-reviews-sebastian-stan-tv-042cdda1e21615164e8ed96481bdc714 

Anon 4: "The ever-changing relationships between the characters are also wonderfully conveyed by the actors, crossing paths at different moments in time and recalibrating each interaction appropriately. Moore and Stan are the clear champions in this regard, their chemistry constantly sliding between an erotic allure and incessant irritation, often playing games that threaten to unravel their entire operation due to feelings of selfish pettiness." pastemagazine*com/movies/sharper-review/

Anon 5: "while seasoned pro Moore and the criminally underrated Stan later provide the film with a kind of old-school gravitas as mother-and-son grifters preying on billionaires in the upper echelons of Manhattan society." austinchronicle*com/events/film/2023-02-10/sharper/
