i've honestly never looked at the audience score on any site. People are stupid, i dont trust people (especially internet people)

 

So no one has to watch it, not that I figured anyone really would, here is review where they break down how cringy it is and plot points.

 

I’m afraid if I watch that my phone will be cursed.

 

Haha their channel is great though, so worse case you'll get more of them recommended

 

Damn I did not realize A Hidden Life was shown at Cannes. Glad to see that’s finally done.

 

The Best TV Shows of 2019 (So Far)

 

Bummer that that article was last updated just a few days before Chernobyl premiered. Swap TD out for that in a heartbeat and the list is already infinitely better.

I wish they only included brand new shows instead of just new seasons as well, but quite a few of my new favorites were on there.

 

Yeah I don't have any opinions on the article either way. Definitely some good ones in there but I bet there are some major ones missing too

 

No Barry!?

 

I'm not sure the PFT joke is even a joke at this point

 

this is so sad

 

I Think You Should Leave is missing from that list

 

Omg this is why I have such a soft spot for child stars and also why I feel like celebs are extra susceptible to cults. Also RELATABLE:

"My heart broke when I realized that I was never going to experience the teen-movie happy ending with a group of friends in a Jeep on their way to the beach. I felt like I failed myself, and the tape that had started playing years before now started to play louder, faster, and angrier."

 

You’re right

 

I rewatched waiting last night for the first time in probably 10 years and wow does that not hold up.

 

I unabashedly LOVE Waiting... But I also spent my teens and most of my 20s working in restaurants so...

 

have you watched it lately? Tons of problematic stuff.

 

Those early roles still define Ryan Reynolds for me in a bad way. I think Coming Soon is probably the only one I saw back in the day where he wasn’t completely unlikeable to me.

 

I think Buried is what won me over to realizing he can really act. But his project selection throughout most of his career mostly misses for me.

 

Oh I loved Adventureland, seeing him in a small role as a scumbag who doesn’t carry a movie with charm and snark was what won me over, Buried was the next step.

As a rom-com fan I knew he was funny and likable because of Definitely Maybe and the Proposal, but all the Deadpool/action comedy stuff he’s done mostly since then isn’t for me

 

He plays a sorta super-hero in a sorta rom-com in Paper Man. But it's basically just Deadpool with a cape.

 

You guys forgetting one of his best roles in Smoking Aces!?! It was when released he could probably do good in more serious/dramatic roles. It got me excited for Safe House with the combo of him and Denzel...but not so much.

 

Yeah, I saw it a few years ago and agree that it's problematic, but unfortunately most of the problematic stuff in that movie isn't far off from what actually happens in restaurants. Particularly older creepy managers trying to bang underage waitresses.

 

I mean, it’s just inevitable that with the passage of time, more and more movies are gonna become problematic. Just up to you to decide how you interact with that.
