The Last of Us (HBO) TV Show • Page 74

I feel like they purposefully wrote and directed this episode like a Nicholas Sparks movie (note: never seen a Nicholas Sparks movie) set in the reality of the Last of Us. The roof jumping even felt like something in a filmed musical on a sound stage and the overall tone seemed more respectful to teenage love and heightened YA romance feels than I remember the DLC’s tone being. It was cute, sappy, and also very sad. Looking forward to what should be a batshit final two episodes.

 

what

 

You don’t remember the clickers in The Notebook?

 

who

(is the one who directs/writes the movies where teenage lovers overcome terminal illness to share love for a fleeting moment)

 

Ari Aster

 

Josh Boone directed The Fault In Our Stars

 

They purposefully wrote and directed it like a *checks post again* Josh Boone movie.

 

Mintplusplus here playing Madlibs in a quest for an analogy.

 

I think you mean John Green haha

 

I change my answer to John Green.

 

Tbf, having read or watched nothing from either, pretty sure it’s the same thing just one writes about teenagers and one about adults lol

 

Y’all a bunch of turds sometimes. The latest episode was slightly uncharacteristic with that extended rooftop jumping scene and corny early-2000s sounding music overlay… so yes I can see Mints parallel between that and a Nicholas Sparks movie.

 

My immediate thought. Still not convinced it wasn't him.

 

Just watched the 7 episodes in a few days and now all caught up.

Last episode was still good and Bella is probably the reason it was so good. Her “discovering the mall” was just too pure and too good.

 

came to this thread to share that account as well after catching up.

 

I liked the last few episodes but this was a step back. Once I saw the preview for this episode I knew exactly what to expect. Kinda boring. We could all infer that she lost someone close to her at some point in her past, considering there's a zombie apocalypse currently happening, and I was hoping that if we were gonna do the elle backstory episode, then we would get way more than that.

 

How do you know we won't?

 

Sorry. Only one backstory episode allowed.

 

There will be more Ellie backstory this season

 

Sorry, that’s against the law. @imthesheriff book’em

 

In what world will there be more Ellie backstory??

(Let’s get ‘em, boys)

 

I'm sure we will and that will be the more interesting one.
