2 episodes in i'm relatively enjoying it.

But.. as mentioned in the other review you will instantly be confronted with faggotry, atleast it's not guys so far, but still the impression it gives is this.

"Lets create this team of scientists and put every single woke thing into it, an ugly lesbian couple, one who is an allright looking actress but give her short hair, make the other woman completely ugly, and then an ugly black woman as the 'leader' who constantly has panic attacks and put it all together."

The premise is good, and the show is actually okay.. but it could be MUCH better without that bullshit.

educationally woke - tries to hide its overall message

An "elderly" successful woman has an affair with a young guy in his twenties. Every company meeting is DEI cast - everywhere you see more people standing around they're well mixed, i.e. always Asian, African, White (and obese) together. The business woman has two daughters - one is lesbian and when she is in the pool with the neighbor's 17-year old daughter the main concern is that age (17) might be a problem. The 20-something lover wants his old-gal lover to say out loud that she will follow all his orders. At first I thought this might be a kind of dirty talk - but then it dawned on me. No, this is "only yes is yes", as in Swedish law, where either you verbally agree or it's practically rape. I could go on and on. This is a far cry from great old woman young guy movies like White Palace with Susan Sarandon - unpleasantly woke. The older woman has normal sex, but - woe is me! - from behind. Her husband finds this degrading. With the intern it's (of course) different, but they actually have to agree on a "safe word" as in hardcore bdsm - mind you, for pretty normal heterosexual encounters. This is about as "daring" as "naked" table legs in Victorian Britain. The main actresses black colleague hints at blackmailing her for the sin of sleeping with someone from the office hierarchically below her (tut, tut) ...

The murderbot is based, but the show is not

The show revolves around the interesting premise of a Blade Runner style replicant breaking free of its security measures. Unfortunately, the purple-haired nonbinary writing staff at Apple TV decided to turn it into a Reddit wet dream. The crew are described as space hippies, so basically commies. There's almost no white male - only the murderbot, who is a slave. There's no white female. A black female is the leader, and her crew consists of an Inuit-looking female, a Persian male, an Indian male, an Asian dyke, and her mulatto wife. In the second episode (I've seen only two), the lesbian couple adds the Indian male into their marriage officially and they immediately proceed to have a threesome, albeit a G-rated one. The murderbot is appalled by this hedonism, the hippy vibes, and the stupid actions of the crew, and he fantasizes about killing them all. I think in the minds of the writers, we are the murderbots.

Edit: Although there is not yet overt male homosexuality, there seems to be some homoerotic tension, with the Persian male interested in whether the murderbot is fully functional. (He's not.)

Shyamalan has hit rock bottom with this one. This may actually be worse than the Happening. The writing is so bad and unrealistic I would guess
A.I. was involved with this one. Nobody talks or acts like real people do. Every single scene is the dumbest most unrealistic thing they could
think of. There is so much wrong with the writing I'm not even wasting time listing some of it. Hartnett is fun to watch as the over the top
psycho but that's really all there is to it. Most of the other acting is bad and the story is nonsense. Also I'm not even sure what the point
was, I mean the trailer gives everything away. Even if you haven't seen the trailer everything is revealed within the first 20 minutes or so. There
is no mystery, no tension, no buildup or thrills. Then there's the problem that it's way to long for what little script there is so they spend a large
amount of time basically filming a concert with crowd shots. That's another problem entirely, half this movie seems like a vanity project for the directors daughter to pretend to be a popstar. Spoiler alert...she's terrible. The music sucks and her singing and acting is awful. As far woke it's all the usual stuff, other than the lead villain there are no other white male's other than some background characters. Pretty much all the leads are female and the few more prominent male's are black or Asian. There is a very short scene with a gay character hitting on another male. Way to much DEI casting in general with far more than realistic female police and FBI agents. The 80 year old 4ft female FBI profiler who is on site running the whole show is laughable and looks like she's about to fall over. I'm giving this one star for Hartnett and the only reason to waste time watching this.

Hey, did you know the cardinals in the recent conclave watched this movie to learn how to do a conclave? I'm serious, look it up.

Not my type of movie, but probably right for someone. Nice cinematography, natural dialogue, all-star casting and a religious tilt to every aspect.

Not worth it.

I didn't watch this, and I don't care if it's woke. The problem is this-

Disney is remaking their properties as a way to try and maintain their copyright. They let steamboat willy run out, and they're panicking trying not to let it happen again. I personally find this creatively bankrupt and disgusting in more ways than one.

Don't watch this. Don't watch the new lilo and stitch. Don't watch the new moana, or the new aladdin, or the upcoming new tangled. We already have animated versions that are better.

I genuinely can't imagine anyone these movies are made for other than the disney shareholders and executives.

Read the book!

It's on its face a rocky horror-esque watch. The odd pacing, the unintentional mistakes, the inhuman line reading, all centered around a man who looks like the missing link between man and fungal spore. I'm confident you could make penicillin with whatever comes out when you brush his hair.

The book 'The Disaster Artist', written by Greg Sestero (Mark, in the film), is one of my favorite reads and has been since 2012, when it came out. It goes into depth not only on the awful production aspects of the film, but on the strange characteristics of Mr. Wiseau himself. He orders hot water as a drink for every meal. He has a poster-sized framed picture of aladdin above his toilet. He adamantly refuses to mention anything that could even vaguely relate to his age- and the movie poster is a black and white kubrickian portrait of his bloodshot, asymmetrical face.

This is a movie to watch on drugs. Or with a friend. Or in a crowded theater of people who are playing along. Or with the context of the book. Otherwise, I'd advise you avoid watching it until you have one or more of those things.

thought they wouldn't, but they did

wholesome movie? sure. i guess. until you realize they somehow managed to turn the only female character with down syndrome into an unlikeable girlboss from the 1st dialogue itself. kudos. hollywood doing hollywood like only hollywood can.

sometimes i wonder whether other reviewers even understand the meaning of woke.

Nah

Forced diversity and much more
And a terrible adaptation of the game
Also why is the previous review giving it a woke free rate, and then complains about cultural insensitivity 😂 did he access the wrong website?

Lesbian Kisses

I'm on episode 8 of the 1st season and have already seen at least 3 or more on-screen kisses between a high school lesbian couple, and additional romantic embraces between them. So far, that's the only woke thing I've noticed.

Fantastic, but...

It's a hard watch. The metaphors are heavy-handed and hit incredibly well, despite the comedy aspects. It's a satirical propaganda movie that understands what makes propaganda horrific, and especially if you have ties to the military, it'll make your stomach turn. They don't shy away from a single detail. Tragedies happen without warning or buildup and then the world keeps moving.

2/5 wokeness for NPH.

A fantastic watch, for a certain type of person!

It's been a long time since I saw a slasher I enjoyed. We're in an era of more psychological based horror, which I have nothing against, but sometimes you do want horror to be more of an escape than an analysis. This movie does that extremely well. It's not brainless, it has good roots and concepts, but it isn't trying to make a huge statement on society, and it does well with what it has!

I've never played Until Dawn, so I can't speak on the authenticity of the product, but as a movie it holds up.

I will say the gore can be a bit much. Stop reading here if you want to avoid spoilers!

As someone who works with butchering animals on occasion and has had to learn how everything is put together, it can be very easy for me to become disillusioned with horror effects. I call it 'The Meat Problem'- SFX crews have only seen the meat on store shelves, and forget that there's bones, ligaments, organs, and anything but blood and what looks like a full steak in there. This movie exceeded my expectations on that front! In the scene where a character's head is crushed, you get to see brain matter, eyes, skull, teeth, and skin in the pile!

I can't tell how much of that is practical and how much is CGI, but that's a good thing. I *shouldn't* be able to tell.

One point docked because of the names of the monsters. It's not only insensitive, it's just wrong? That's not what that is or does, and it would have been more interesting to see a creative, unique monster. Nothing was preventing them from doing that.
