The fatness isn't the issue, since she's supposed to be comic relief, but I find her acting jawdroppingly incompetent. I checked out the Reddit sub and she's stubbornly defended and praised to the skies for her acting/comedic chops.

Here's a compilation clip of her performances on Hacks.

I found her so jarringly bad I almost thought she was the inspiration of the Maria Sophia character on Curb, except that character might predate her.

I can't remember seeing acting this poor on a comedy series, especially not on HBO.

As for one of the two leads, Einbinder, all I hear when she opens her mouth is Michael Cera

The show is not funny. They actually have Einbinder saying “I still have my dignity” then following it with a pratfall, for frick's sakes. However there are titties in one episode.

I havent seen any but was wondering opinions. I recommend Heroes (2006) first season is good so far.

Anyway let me know if you've seen or your opinions

i dont like watching "the boys" - 38 votes

"Ki-Adi mundi said the Sith haven't appeared in over a millennium during TPM.
How do we retract this?"

"Let's just write him into the show. "

"But...Ki-Adi isn't born yet for another 40 years"

"no one will notice. And if they do, this is my canon now. Just do it."

- we…

Ki something isn't supposed to show up in the new show but he did. Star Wars nerds are seething over it. I don't know why this showed up on my Twitter feed but it's probably because I've clicked on Twitter links from here so thanks a lot dorks.

I recently watched Demonlover and it was the best film I've seen in a long time, would 100% recommend everyone watch. After finishing the film I was curious to see what critics thought about it and was shocked that neither they nor audiences enjoyed it.

There's a lot of great films with poor critic scores (eg. Con Air, Stepbrothers) but it's very rare that the audience score doesn't contradict it. The others I can think of are Only God Forgives and Alien 3 which I love and Neon Demon which I also really liked. I can understand with them why lots of people dislike them, the Demonlover hate is just baffling to me though.

Also the RT description and poster for Demonlover is so bad lol

Just remembered Universal: Soldier Day of Reckoning which has absolutely no right to be a great action film but somehow is brilliant

Monkeybone was pretty cool too

I'm actually remembering loads now

Years ago, I created a massive list of disturbing films on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls009209730/

As of this writing, the list has 1,706 titles on it and easily the largest such list on the internet.

However, as many of you know, I was in prison from 2015 to 2024 and, as such, I was obviously not able to keep the list updated. Could you all please fill me in on the disturbing films that have come out since then? There's a list from /r/DisturbingMovies, but it's largely useless. It was made by Redditards, so it's filled with films that don't even remotely belong on a list of disturbing movies, like Watership Down and The Dark Crystal. To be on my list, the content has to be at least at R-rated level.

(As a side note, while I was in prison, I wrote a detailed outline for my own attempt at creating the most disturbing film ever made (partially inspired by the disgusting s*x offenders who I was forced to be surrounded by) - one that would not only far exceed every other "sickest movie ever made" in terms of on-screen depravity, but would also tell an emotionally devastating story filled with truly heartbreaking pathos. The fact that even the deeply jaded and desensitized prison staff were shocked and disturbed by it (and repeatedly spoke to me about it) told me that I did exactly what I set out to do.)

Brief summary of the scene in question

I think Furiosa flopping megahard might have something to do with it .

OP wonders why the RT audience score is so low and believes it might be the fault. Some agree but many are not having it and begin to nootice !noticers !kino

People are blaming the political dummies, which I'm sure plays a part, but I also think it has just generally been a weak few episodes. Definitely continuing the downward trend from the s3 finale... Most of the storylines they are spending too much time on right now are entirely uninteresting

blaming conservatives when a show bombs has been their goto for a few years now.

Same thing with she hulk, Captain Marvel, the star wars shows.

it's never bad writing, just those crazy MAGAs review bombing it again.

Most peculiar huh?

I can see why. I couldn't care at all for the Hughie, Frenchie, Kimiko, and Starlight plot lines.

The Homelander, Butcher, Ryan, Vicky, and Sage stuff is carrying hard for me.

>Sage

>carrying hard

Must not be fans of the very political comic

What if I said that the political commentary was the only part of it I enjoy?

That part is spot on, as is Sage's 5Head machinations, but the exceedingly slow burning fuse of The Boys actually taking down Supes is the part I don't like. There's a lot of what feels like B-Plot Filler. Hughies Family stuff, Frenchies Past, and even the Butcher/Ryan arc are all retreads of past plot lines. Kimiko going "rogue" and taking down human traffickers is about the only B-Plot I enjoy.

The political drama is so weak - and the fact that the "smartest PERSON in the world's" big plan is just to be an agitator is so sophomoric. This is what a junior writer thinks is the smartest idea in the world. Basically every character in this show that isn't a main character (and a few of them, too) is written as if they have an IQ of 40. It's so shallow and cheap and really betrays what the writers think of their audience.

if the 1 stars were mostly a deep dive into the shows pacing or changes I'd agree, they are clearly more concerned with sister sage, LGBT themes, wokeness, DEI etc.

I really don't know how somebody watches Homelander “laser somebody in the middle of 5th” while being surrounded and still supported by people holding American flag posters and memorabilia and not see the direct parallel. This is like a 5th grade context clues and understanding test that they failed.

I know they typically miss those context clues from research, but I'd say Frenchie and Sister Sage are more directly in your face as they exist visually as minorities and are often directly named in the reviews for this season.

NOOOO NOT THE POOR VISIBLE MINORITIES, THAT'S WHY CHUDS HATE IT

I mean there has been a bit of a dip in quality and Eric Kripke has been insufferable in between season 3 and 4. I still like the show but the first three episodes felt underwhelming compared to previous seasons.

Can you explain what he's said because I don't keep up

I read an interview where he was asked something to the effect of “what do you think about those fans that watch the show and think homelander is a good guy?” And he basically responded “they are all stupid, frick them, I don't want them watching my show”

Wait so what's wrong with him saying that?

That's a fair comment. Homelander is the clear cut villain. Thinking he's the good guy is like watching Star Wars and cheering for Darth Vader.

STOP ROOTING FOR THE VILLAIN!

Lmao, lot's of people rooted for Darth Vader, I don't think George Lucas ever threw a fit to the public because of that.

!kino !bookworms the showrunners and writers botched the Blood and Cheese plot (2 r-slurs as killers, neurodivergent Helaena displayed no emotion), no Jacaerys reaction to his brother's death and “trad” queen Alicent gets her kitty licked by former volcel Ser Criston Cole, much to the chagrin of greenstrags. Aegon and his drinking buddies on the Iron Throne was funny though.
