Reply to comment by Worthyness in 'American Born Chinese' is now a full family reunion for 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' with the addition of James Hong by Sisiwakanamaru

The over the top wuxia style fight scenes were so fun to watch. The costume design also stood out to me, everyone is just so snappily dressed (shout out to whoever did Emily Beecham's wardrobe).

Unfortunately the story's pace wasn't great and the acting ranged from just okay (where the actors own the cheesiness and just chew scenery) to kind of bad (looking at you MK).

Reply to The OA by str8dazzlin

I thought the first season was great and I liked all the corny elements in it.

Second season I thought was considerably less interesting, especially turning the whole thing into "alternate worlds" which has been done way too many times. Though I did like the episodes with the kids.

Reply to I hate the way they Wrote out Munch in SVU by FreshmenMan

IIRC, Belzer had terrible auditions for L&O. So bad that Belzer himself didn’t want to do the show.

But the producers loved him and believed in him and pushed him to take the role. I think it’s cool that he had that much longevity after bombing so hard from the start.

ETA: "Barry Levinson, executive director of Homicide, said Belzer was a "lousy actor" during his audition when he first read lines from the script for "Gone for Goode", the first episode in the series. Levinson asked Belzer to take some time to reread and practice the material, then come back and read it again. During his second reading, Levinson said Belzer was "still terrible", but that the actor eventually found confidence in his performance."
