    almost any tv actor. sub-par actors compared to (some few) movies.
     
    I get the feeling AI and CGI could replace most of them. Probably be better.

    Had to check it out after the buzz at Sundance. It managed to be gross, pretentious, and disappointing. 
    See it if you're curious, but I have no idea why this film was made. 
    Any different opinions?

    Manhattan got a reaction from Marc in Calif in Movies you walked out of because they were so awful   
    Oppenheimer. A sadly flat performance from Cillian. And only Nolan could take the most important event of the 20th Century and make it boring. 

    Past Lives. Is this even a movie? Two leads with zero charisma. No plot. No conflict. No movie. 
    Dune. If this is the state of film making, I'm ready for AI to take over. We've accepted worse and worse acting, as well as worse and worse writing until we'll accept anything.

    Another musical that is more about the audience getting to sing than getting to watch excellent performers. 
    Sing-alongs shouldn't cost this much. 
    Producers look for the cheapest possible productions and sadly audiences flock to see them. It's hard to get great theater on Broadway when people are willing to pay money for this garbage.

    Manhattan reacted to dutchal in Fellow Travelers - Paramount+   
    I beg to differ.  I think the emotional repression you see in "Fellow Travelers" exactly fits with his character.  He was so deep in the closet, so practiced at it, and so wary of the consequences of even peeking out of the closet that he couldn't get far enough out of it to have a fully emotional relationship with another man.  I think what you saw was Matt Bomer playing exactly the character he was supposed to be.

    I'd wager that JK Rowling has looked into whatever she's talking about. Which is more that most people do. The world needs more JK Rowlings who are able to survive cancellation. 
    I may not agree with everything she says but I'm grateful that she tells the truth as she sees it. People should not be required to think the same things.

    Rowling has opinions and she's vilified because some of those opinions don't support the present zeitgeist.  I didn't see anything in the article that suggests she is taking a soft-line approach to Nazi atrocities.  Rather, she is questioning whether trans people were the first targets of the Nazi regime, and whether or not all of the research was destroyed.  There is nothing wrong with questioning a source - anyone who is a critical thinker should be questioning the source of the information that is being put out there, especially in this age when anyone can post anything as fact with little to no consequence.  The days are long gone when spreading misleading information was considered bad form and inappropriate.  Today we seem preoccupied with how information makes us feel, not whether it is accurate or not.

    Any show that the audience is encouraged to sing along is not a show I want to see.
    Broadway audiences have become shit shows.

    Manhattan got a reaction from Rod Hagen in Surprise ending scene in Saltburn   
    A movie can't work if you can spot the villain in the first five minutes. Barry's a good actor but too off-center for it to be believable that an entire family would fall for him. 
    It could only be directed by an overweight woman. A fantasy of being "the chosen one" despite having no redeeming qualities or looks. 
    None of the film was gross or shocking. It was alarmingly asexual.

    I wanted to like it. Steven Yuen is a terrific actor and the plot was promising at the start. Unfortunately, Ali Wong is not an actor. Too large a role and she just isn't up to the task. I had to quit during episode three.

    It looks like Asianlucasbaby took responsibility and compensated you in some way. I wish more providers behaved like this. Yes, mistakes happen, but any attempt to work it out with the client is the sign of a good man.

    Providers may just not want to take Prep. It's a medication that can be pretty tough on your liver and kidneys. 
    If you're a masseur and not an escort, you can give an erotic massage without putting yourself or your client at risk.
