>I honestly think the show is almost entirely about male issues and how little society cares about them. It's in every single scene.

[–]BlueWave2001 2 points 15 days ago

>No it's not that society doesn't care about them, it's men that don't talk about it, stop playing the victim.

>This is such a one dimensional take. Gadds story developed further cos he entertained the weird creep at the bar. Few women would do that.

The Depp/Heard case makes an appearance:

>There isn't "plenty of documented evidence" against her, you've just fallen for the smear campaign.

>You went straight to talking about her pooping the bed, a claim made by Johnny that has zero evidence to back it up. You're just choosing to believe in it. If you want to talk about actual evidence, how about the sealed documents that were excluded from court? Have you read the texts between Johnny and his friend, talking about raping and burning Amber? You choosing to defend a man who would say such things, support him and believe him, because he claims she shit his bed (their* bed that she was the only one sleeping in at the time) when it was obviously their dog, is what's proving my point.

/u/AdSufficient8582 even whips out the ol' statistics showing the ratio of male on female killers to prove some point:

[–]AdSufficient8582 1 point 14 days ago

>How is saying that it's not comparable, saying that it's not important? It's like comparing the discrimination black people receive around the world equals the discrimination white people receives. I never said it's not important, but it's ridiculous to say it's the same or it's comparable. Did you even read the statistics? It's even explained that from the women who killed their partners, 20% did it in self defense and there was a history of abuse

>This just proves that men don't have a clue of shit but still want to talk and give their opinion on it

>Would you say it proves that women don't have a clue of shit but still want to talk and give their opinion on it?

Stole the image from /h/corn. It made me wonder: What is your perfect kino time?

There was a period during my childhood when my family would gather every few nights in the living room and watch an episode of some long-running TV-show together. My mom had just bought a projector, so we would switch-off all the lights and the only light came from the projection on the big white screen at the end of the room that went from the ceiling to the floor. It made it so the whole room was bathed in shadows and the faces of my family were only illuminated during bright and colorful scenes. There weren't enough chairs and spots on the couch to accommodate everyone so I'd sit on the cold tile floor and try to pet the cats as they came and went. It was always a whole shebang trying to get the movie to play and the subtitles to sync so we'd make shadow puppets on the screen while my brother would troubleshoot it.

My second favorite kino-time was in college, real late in the night in my flat I'd order an extra-large pizza, from the local shop which was amazing, with a crème fraiche base and an extra egg in the middle. And then I'd eat it and get really hammered off Kronenbourgs (don't judge me) as I watched, sitting at my desk indian-style, with my cat on my lap. Had some of my impactful kino moments during those times from movies that mostly didn't warrant them.

Never managed to recreate those times, and looking back although the movies were good if they had been removed from the setting I wouldn't have such strong and fond memories of them.

So what's your favorite kino memory?

I know there are a whole bunch of fellow neurodivergent Community fans here, so if you haven't already seen this it's a fun watch. Gillian held on to her cryogenic sperm container prop all these years later, and Pedro completely fails to maintain character during the "hypervirile sperm" dialogue.

There's a followup Q&A video here:

with gratuitous Alison Brie feet exposure (someone ping the footstrags for me; I am not that particular flavor of degenerate and I don't want to waste my marseycoins on them)

Season 1 to 3 are strong. Kino.

Season 4 to 5 are a little dumb. Drags.

Season 6 is fine. Solid.

Season 7 is dumb but in a golden retriever kind of way so you don't really mind it, and reminds people why they are invested in the show by tugging on your heartstrings.

A few niggles about the show that might throw off some people about it.

Taylor Mason who comes in during Season 2, is a godawful hamfisted autsitic they/them in seasons 2 and 3. Becomes more human and more bearable in later seasons as they grow as a person.

Chuck Rhoades aka Paul Giamatti not only gets dumber and dumber in each progressive season (except for 6 and 7 where he stops being as stupid in seasons 3-5). He also self-inserts his BDSM fantasies into the shows and has his actual real llife young Asian girlfriend also put into the show as his BDSM mistress but also has her whip him in the show. Paul Giamatti is a certified chad.

Bobby Axelrod literally is a billionaire psy-ops to make billionaires seem human. However his eyes and ginger-ness prevents that because he likes to go bug-eyed a lot so you remember that billionaires are not people.

Mike "Wags" Wagner is a dad-bod Zaddy. He's great.

Wendy Rhoades aka Chuck's wife has much better chemistry with Bobby Axelrod and is possibly the most unrealistic person in this show. In real life she would be cucking Chuck with Bobby.

All the Black people in the show are the 0.0001% creme de la creme of the African American community. I don't think anything actually seriously bad happens to them at any point in the show. This is a good litmus test to see if you are actually racist to black people or if you just hate poor people.

Mark Cuban shows up a few times for some fricking reason. Skip all scenes with him. It adds nothing, if anything it takes me out it because I don't believe he's got the cajones to hang out with the characters in the show in real life because they literally might stab him in the kidney for whatever is in his wallet.

Overall, I give the series a solid 7.5. Worth watching if you ran out of things to watch.

Edit: Oh I forgot theres also mild anti-semitism sprinkled in whenever Chuck's father is in the scenes.

!kino this film has a 96% score and Rotten Tomatoes and had /r/movies circlejerking about how great it is but at least to me it was so mid .

I know the romantic comedy genre is kind of dead so maybe this is the millennial rom-com revival attempt?

answer: The Boys is a superhero show on Amazon. The basic premise is what if superheroes were celebrities and acted like the worst celebrities out there. The current season is about the strongest hero(Homelander a parody of Superman and Captain America) courting white nationalists as they will tolerate and support all the awful things he does and applaud him for them. It draws a lot of parallels to Trump and his conspiracy theorist/white nationalists base

It's worth noting the show has always been capital b Blatant that Homelander is a parody of patriotism getting into bed with racist Christian fascists. Among his very first public appearances in the show is him flying across a giant cross while in the pose of Jesus on the cross. Later, he gets literally seduced by a character named after a white power message board. The show has never been subtle about this. The only new thing is that some of the people it was parodying seem to have figured it out.

Answer: The show is a dark satire, and heavily influenced by the current political climate, and Trump in particular. The main antagonist of the show, a “Supe” (short for super) named Homelander has descended into authoritarianism. Each season of the show digs in a bit harder. In the first few sessions there was some folks on the Right who missed the whole satire aspect and considered Homelander the hero, not realizing he was the villain and they were the butt of the jokes.

Recently there was an interview with the show runner who highlighted a lot of these points in no unclear terms. He also noted that he was planning to lean in even more on the political similarities with the rhetoric from Homelander.

I have only recently started watching the show and I cannot, for the life of me, understand how people missed Homelander being a villain. It's in the first episode! He's basically "facsim will come to America wrapped in a flag" personified! How did anyone miss this????

>Silly fascists are too dumb to understand you're supposed to hate Homelander as he's the devil. Don't they get he's the villan?

Considering even the main show sub says the new season is crap, I'm presuming these redditors don't watch the show and parrot twitter talking points, makes sense considering how astroturfed /r/outoftheloop is.

The whole thread has zero criticism of the show writing is all THE FASCISTS AND MAGANAZIS TROLLS HATE IT!!!

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" - 46 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."

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.)
