To Be or Not to Be (1983). At the onset of WW2, a Polish actor's family and the Polish Resistance help the troupe of a theatre escape Poland and the invading Nazis.

The cast is so great in this that it almost justifies remaking the excellent 1942 film. Anne Bancroft in particular really shines as an actress turned freedom fighter, and she lends so much charisma (and great comic timing!) to all of her scenes. Overall, really fun, and with a few really great hijink-y set pieces that I don't think I'll soon forget. 7/10.

THE SOUND 

Like we’ve seen in the A QUIET PLACE franchise, sound (or the lack there of) can be an extremely useful tool to convey terror, tension, and danger in horror films. Like the title states, Jason-Christopher Mayer short film plays around with the idea of an unseen force that can be detected at first, only by one’s auditory abilities. The ending certainly packs a punch for horror fans looking for some gore and blood.

List of Met Galas since 2001

The LAST TRAIN HOME: Playing In Your Face by Sydcarmy

In the last part of the Ceres episode, after Syd gave her beef and risotto dish to the restaurant critic unknowingly, Carmy apologizes to Syd for being Shi--y.

This is about him saying her dish being tremendous but not perfect, not ready.

She tells him it's all good and continues calling out orders.

The tempo is good and Carmy notices and tells them he likes the tempo and to keep it up.

Then the song Last Train Home starts.

Carmy and Syd are in the shots together and apart

I like John Mayer's music, so I look up the lyrics and what they mean AND

My dear readers, those show runners are playing in our faces.

Playing fast and loose

Here's what the song means:

"If you wanna know me, then you gotta know me through and through" shows that he wants his loved one to know everything about him.

The chorus also says, "So if you're coming with me, let me know/Maybe you're the last train/Maybe you're the last train home," implying that if someone is down for the ride after knowing all they do about him, they may just be the one"

The song is about a very confused man trying to figure out whether or not to fall in love

From: the list.com Meaning of John Mayer's song -last-train-home.

Well, well, well...

Christopher and Joanna have some explaining to do! Platonic what?

But it also sets up Carmy's screaming fit in the next episode REVIEW. If he did decide to fall in love, now there's all this pressure to perform for Syd and give her what she wants, which is a great restaurant and he wasn't ready yet, at least not to handle the crisis of the pre-orders.

So all hell broke loose

But not only that

It must be why Carmy was so distraught when Syd left . Because he'd decided to fall in love and she left him. I thought he was upset because he wouldn't have help to deal with all the pre-orders when it was a crisis situation, when in fact it was about her leaving HIM.

He wasn't that distraught when Marcus couldn't be found

Hedy Mayer – the Rocket Scientist

(1975 – 27/2000 – 52)

Darleane Mayer met Dell Conagher in college studying theoretical physics – her second Ph.D., his sixth. For that one year they were study buddies, and for the one night of their graduation party they were something else.

The pregnancy was a surprise to Darleane, but not an unwelcome one – she had an interest in being a parent but not so much in being a wife, and with a bit of elbow grease she quickly proved herself unfireable from her new position at Black Mesa.

Baby Hedy was named after Darleane’s favorite inventor and actress Hedy Lamarr, and grew up in the halls of Black Mesa, learning the periodic table alongside the alphabet and designing space shuttles before she could drive a car.

While the sciences came easy to her, the humanities really didn’t – in the same school year she was TA-ing 10th grade trigonometry and repeating 6th grade English.

After high school, she spent a year interning at Black Mesa before her mom insisted that she get a degree – though what really convinced her to go was an ex-classmate’s insinuation that she couldn’t.

There is nothing this woman will not accomplish out of sheer spite – among her life’s greatest ambitions is to launch a teapot into stable orbit to get one over on her second-grade teacher.

Zephaniah Mann University took one look at her application and threw so many scholarships at her she’s practically being paid to attend – as of ‘75 she’s 7 years and 4 Ph.D.s deep (chemistry, astrophysics, aerospace engineering, and the college’s first computer science degree) with no signs of stopping.

It's at ZMU that she met Christoph, her best friend, husband for tax benefits, and partner in mad science.

It was Christoph who made Hedy the drunken bet that would change their lives – at his instigation, she invented the polycyclotron (a.k.a. the Tricycle, the Three-Ring-Circus) and became the first person to synthesize Australium.

It was this act that put her on OHM’s radar – and the rest of the kids, once OHM realized her connection to Team Fortress and began looking for others.

Discovering an adult child was not on Engineer’s bingo card when the team went on that rescue mission, and Hedy threw Dell for quite a few loops, but he did eventually get through to her over their mutual eccentricities (technical talents, music taste, mild god complex, etc.)

While on RED base, she becomes “chemistry buddies” with Demo and Pyro and develops a tenuous relationship with her father-in-law Medic (his skepticism is understandable - his marriage of convenience didn't go too well). She also encourages Kelly’s inventiveness, giving her construction tips.

Once everything with OHM is sorted out, Dell immediately calls Darleane for a long talk.

Meanwhile, Hedy returns to ZMU, presenting the Tricycle as her nuclear physics thesis. She accepts her fifth Ph.D. that June and her Nobel Prize the following December – her acceptance speech is the first in the institution’s history to include the phrase “kiss my ass.”

Hedy’s exit from ZMU heralds a hiring slap fight between NASA and Aperture Science – she picks the latter to start, though she’ll work at both and beyond in the coming years (after the fifth time she gets used as an unwitting test subject, she bids Aperture adieu).

The ’76 Conagher family reunion is one heck of an event – Hedy is quickly overwhelmed by her new grandpa’s, aunt’s, and cousins’ enthusiasm.

As Y2K passes uneventfully (with her help), Hedy accepts a position with Team Fortress Industries and joins her fellow “next-genners” in international mayhem as the Rocket Scientist (or “Rocketeer” for short and/or fun).

Next up - her psycho psychologist partner in life and crime...
