Good god that's one of the lamest jesus christ superstars ive ever seen.
I didnt think anyone would make one lamer than the 2000 one but holy poo poo at least that one had a few memorable qualities
Everyone has dreads, Jesus breaks a DJ's turntable, and Pontius Pilate is doing squats with his personal trainer. It's got an aesthetic and it's nailing it but it's incredibly cursed.

Except for maybe Judas. He looks like he's in his late forties and in the middle of a mid life crisis trying to nail some college co-eds.


Though the Pharisees and investment brokers and Herod as Graham Norton are both pretty good. If I didn't know that Weber voted to cut healthcare for indigent pregnant women I'd think he was trying to say something.

Edit: poo poo, thats Sporty Spice as Mary Magdelene.

I think Ozark finally broke me. Not sure why, but when Laura linney broke into that family's/ their old home and hosed with their stuff before leaving, it was just so casually and pointlessly evil. Purposefully taking away those kids' sense of security purely for pleasure, I mean, I know they've done hosed up things but something about that just totally killed my interest in the show.

Wouldn't watch a show that follows the zany antics of a child molester, and they've almost reached that level.

That scene was so weird. I have no idea why she did any of that.

Personally I thought the ozark scene where they (s2 spoiler) murder a priest in front of his newborn child was a little worse than when Wendy taught a sheltered rich family a valuable lesson about the importance of changing your locks when you buy a new house.

I’ve watched:
A bunch of The Shape of Pasta and absolutely love it, just wish it was longer.
I Promise (doc about leBron James’ school) is good and always makes me cry haha
Most Dangerous Game feels like a mid tier NBC show.
Dismantled is fun enough
When the Streetlights and Survive both seem like they could have potential, but have only watched 1 episode each so far.

I think it was all good but they hosed up the ending, which is surprisingly common in television's new golden age.

You might like Freud, an Austrian crime drama with a similar vibe but stronger storyline yet is visually stimulating with extreme characters like PD and The Alienist. The Protagonist is Dr. Sigmund Freud, yes that one, solving a hypnosis based crime in 1880's Vienna.

Great.

Relies a bit too much on "historical figures saying curses!" as humor, but it was exactly what I needed yesterday so it gets five cups of peppermint tea and a bag of chips from me. My favorite bit was the stay-alive strategy employed by Khrushchev and his wife, and the most satisfying part by far was the last five minutes of Beria's life. What a fascinating piece of garbage he was.

So according to ResetEra, Carole Baskin from Tiger King is near completely innocent and had her portrayal manipulated by the director. And the only reason people don't see it, is because of sexism. Is there any accuracy to this?

She is completely innocent in the basic sense that she has never even been accused of a crime.

The purpose of the “murder-mystery” episode is ostensibly to provide context for why the meth-addicted libertarian cult leader was ranting about septic tanks, but ended up promoting his conspiracy theories to those prone to calling women “crazy rear end bitches”. It’s a big failing of the series.

The big cat rescue lady. I prefer to see her as the hero, the lowly Tampa prostitute who took a millionaire for every penny he had and disposed of him while he was in the process of abandoning his family. Of course, the documentary doesn't talk about the other husband she had, who did successfully get a restraining order against her, because she constantly threatened to kill him like she had her previous husband. There's really not any good guys in the whole thing, just worse guys. Maybe Joe Exotic's only surviving and unincarcerated husband (Joe had a husband the doc skipped over too, he's in prison I guess), the tooth guy with the bad(rear end) coverup tattoo at the end, he seems ok.

Oh wow, didn't know that she had another husband. Isn't her cat sanctuary accredited though?

I'd say I agree from the rest of his films I've seen.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is alright and nearly a classic, but is just too early 2000s and crude for its own good.

Chasing Amy does deserve props for tackling such subject matter in the nineties, but at the end of the day it is just so focused on a straight males perspective on things. The protagonist is such an asshat and I couldn't imagine any LGBTQ person willing to put up with their ignorance.

Clerks 2 isn't as bad as people say it is. It's not a worthy sequel but it is worthy of being made and seen.

Tusk had some good ideas, but was just too strange and while I understand that it is body horror, at the end of the day all the "mad surgeon" did was just put the main character in a suit. It isn't that much different from that Invader Zim episode. And jesus gently caress was this scene cringy.

Red State had potential and some good ideas but just lacked the execution on Smith's part.

Maybe, but its less a sanctuary and more a zoo, same as the other two are running. She is charging admissions for tours and making tons of money off it on top of the YouTube money from hee videos. Thats on top of her running the whole thing with a strictly volunteer staff that talk about the place like a cult.

A cursory google search shows that that's entirely false.

A former BCR employee who may have been Baskin's boyfriend(?) evidently petitioned for a restraining order against Baskin after she allegedly threatened to "kick his rear end out of there".

This petition was rejected by a circuit judge due to "no facts of violence or specific credible threat of imminent fear".

The failed petition has evidently been promoted as evidence against Baskin by a UK tabloid and "BCRWatch", a conspiracy/stalking website similar to the ones Joe Exotic was running.

With all the sensationalism, you'd think people would be more careful.
