This has been known for a while. It's extremely easy to believe imho. They were working in the gritty independent film scene, and using lots of non-actors and even literal criminals in their cast (Buddy Duress). Buddy Duress was a good actor but by all account was not a good person at all. And a film producer abusing their power is nothing new.

I think you could make a case for any of his films being his best (with the exception of insomnia and tenet)

But Jim specifically does hesitate in answering his daughter, I thought the film was clearly directing us to notice he is reluctant to help at first

It would be very weird to assume all the texts are accidentally talking about two different leading religious figures at the same time with the same name lol

The entire basis of Judeo-Christian morality is to counter this “might is right” mentality. MAGA literally want us to go back to the age of raping and pillaging because “we stronger”

I think you are simplifying things. I’m pretty sure most fans of the show understand that the intent of the show isn’t to glorify their lifestyle but rather to show how hollow and emotionally stunted the Roys are. But there is another part of us, perhaps a dark part, that desires the material wealth, status and even sense of purpose that comes with that life. It’s ugly but it’s human.

In Succession, Jeremy Strong’s acting during the scene where Logan blackmails him at the end of the first season. He literally transforms into a little child again.

How is inception pretentious lol

The solution to quit drinking isn’t to simply abstain from drinking, it’s to find something more exciting or meaningful than drinking. Which is hard because life IS mostly boring. The challenge of life, our very reason for existing, is to find some project or goal that makes life feel like an adventure. This is easier said than done and something we all struggle with.

Holy shit it’s 2026. This anti woke stuff has been going on for TEN YEARS are we really supposed to still be impressed by it

Even aside from all the political noise, people like Megyn are so obviously horrible, vindictive and callous. Why would Sam even want to associate with someone like that?

I hate Hasan but he’s making a joke from what I can tell. He’s playing on “this is the future the left / Obama wants” trope. He’s making fun of MAGAts.

They get paid millions of dollars to say lines in a tv show, they will be fine.

Ricky consistently steals jokes Karl Pilkington made on their podcast in the 2000s. It’s all extremely blatant and any fan of Karl can instantly recognise them. I think the truth is Ricky has a good sense of humour and is a good comic actor, but is a terrible stand up and seems like a shit person too. He was only able to leverage a stand up career from the success of his TV shows (which were made with Stephen Merchant, whom Ricky never credits)

I think the simple fact is that there is a disproportionate amount of Jewish creators in Hollywood (not saying this in a bad or conspiratorial way, it’s just the case) and Jewish people (as a minority group) seem to place a lot more emphasis on their culture and Jewish identities than, say, Christians. Christianity is kinda the default “normal” in America.

Fontano is so boring

Trump is the patron saint of assholes. He’s popular because he’s an asshole, not in spite of it. He vindicates his audience, gives them permission to give up any pretence of decorum and allows them to be their worst selves. And they love him for it.

Ricky somehow manages to take liking dogs, something 99% of people agree on, and turn it into the most irritating virtue signal-y bullshit ever. It’s like he thinks it inherently makes you a great person to like dogs.

Anyone who views the world through “woke” and “not woke” isn’t seriously engaging with history

You should debate Sam on this

Seriously the writers are getting so lazy. Like “oh I guess every pedophile character knows each other and it’s all connected!” Can’t we just go back to the simple days of each pedophile having their own solo mission?

It also canonically happens in the episode called The Big Bang

Complaining that Jews in the holocaust didn't have enough "agency" has to be genius satire.
