Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino worked together again in 2019’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, after first collaborating on the 2009 film Inglourious Basterds. Despite the film being a critical and award-winning success, making it was challenging. There were reportedly disagreements on set when Pitt took initiative on a scene without Tarantino’s consent.
Episode 7 is the second-to-last one, and it opens with Duncan having lunch with his daughter, Jamison, when Carl unexpectedly arrives. Duncan attempts to brag about his new business, P.I.N.A.T.A, but Carl quickly dismisses it, making it clear he doesn’t think the data-stealing scheme is original or impressive.
Even though it’s still Kenjaku, he’s now fighting using Geto’s abilities. I think that really highlights the difference between them. Geto acts more on feeling, while Kenjaku relies on intelligence and planning.
Because of the rise of rentals, movies didn’t have to be huge in theaters to make money. This led to a boom in film production, giving viewers lots of affordable entertainment options. While many critically acclaimed films from the 1990s remain popular, a surprising number of great movies were overlooked at the time.

Benjamin Sisko, played by Avery Brooks, clearly expressed Starfleet’s core values. His speech in the very first episode, “Emissary,” better defines Starfleet’s dedication to learning and understanding than anything else in the entire series.
The film follows Din Djarin as he continues his work with the New Republic, a role established at the end of The Mandalorian season 3. He’s tracking down the last of the Empire’s forces with Grogu, his Force-sensitive son. While trailers for The Mandalorian and Grogu hinted at a huge impact on the New Republic and the Star Wars galaxy, the movie’s story actually takes a more focused approach.
On paper, I Love Boosters sounds perfect for me: a fast-paced, visually striking film relying on practical effects. It follows the Velvet Gang, a group of resourceful young Black women who steal from designer Christie Smith (Demi Moore) to survive, selling the goods at lower prices. The story eventually blends into science fiction, highlighting the power of workers uniting against a harsh capitalist system. However, the film doesn’t quite live up to its potential. Despite its vibrant visuals, strong production design, and costumes, the script and dialogue feel heavy and awkward. It’s disappointing, because while the story is somewhat thin – lacking in character development and delivering familiar political messages – the film is undeniably exciting and visually stunning.
