HOLY FUCK Three episodes in HOLY FUCK Not just HOLY FUCK for the revelation but damn the producers laid this out well so far. Yup that was it. My ex's parents bought into NXIVM and to this day still say it wasn't a cult...which at the bottom sure it wasn't....just a pyramid scheme...

That's an interesting story in itself. I agree it's not a very good show but the severity of the backlash is telling. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/06/24/in-three-weeks-the-acolyte-has-more-audience-reviews-than-three-seasons-of-the-mandalorian/ I think the review bombing had as much to do with the the way they fucked with long established lore than anything else. The show was a steaming pile of shit to any long time fans of the IP. Just absolute garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the fucking bother? Emma D'arcy as Rhaenyra is incredibly good in it though I must say. Her subtle facial expressions to convey emotion are ridiculously good.

The show was a steaming pile of shit to any long time fans of the IP. Just absolute garbage. I agree. It was really bad. I watched it only because the wife determined it was 'our show' and by the end even she admitted it was terrible. Soon I will have to watch season 2 of that awful Lord of the Rings show. Marriage is hard work. Still, the numbers and comments behind the bad reviews point to a planned bombardment by white folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brilac Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 The Bachelorette ~ I give it a 9/10. This week they are in Seattle. I had to turn away from the gum wall segment. That was a must NOT see. Thank goodness she sent that one guy home... Then, there was the rose ceremony. As I was yelling "Grant" at the TV, she did not pick him Oh my gosh, what a handsome fella he is! And was my front runner too. I read somewhere that he is going to be the next Bachelor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brilac Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 The Bachelorette ~ An 8/10. He broke her heart! She proposed to him, he accepted, and eventually broke off the engagement. Didn't love her. He then followed chicks on Instagram and went clubbing. I'm disgusted and angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyone Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 recently watched on netflix: Money Heist (Spanish: La casa de papel, [la ˈkasa ðe paˈpel], lit. 'The House of Paper') is a Spanish heist crime drama television series created by Álex Pina. The series traces two long-prepared heists led by the Professor (Álvaro Morte), one on the Royal Mint of Spain, and one on the Bank of Spain, told from the perspective of one of the robbers, Tokyo (Úrsula Corberó). The story is told in a real-time-like fashion and relies on an unreliable narrator, flashbacks, time-jumps, and hidden character motivations for complexity. also frequently watch Hogan's Heroes and various John Wayne movies.

Goose Posted Thursday at 07:59 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:59 PM Rebel Ridge -6/10 Disappointing tbh. I was looking forward to a new Jeremy Saulnier movie-something dark and gritty, especially based on the trailer I saw. Started out well and had the potential to become this powder keg of a plot but it turned more into a crime, conspiracy, Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew film. The last quarter of the movie was especially watered down. Terminator Zero 8.5/10 A Japanese version of T1, T2 and the Terminator:Hunters & Killers comic blended together. Really good and to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
