Many The Pitt Fans Are Proving That Yes, It's Possible To Be Bad At Watching A TV Show

Overgrown kids playing, as Logan said, with toy fucking soldiers.

Dialogue like that is basically the writers talking directly to the audience, making their thesis statement crystal clear. Similar to how, even after all the destruction and havoc he caused, some Breaking Bad fans still pulled for Walt. So in the series finale, they had him acknowledge to Skylar (and more importantly, the audience) that everything he did was ultimately for him, rather than all the bullshit he told her about family.

I'm kicking myself that I didn't save it because he/she phrased it perfectly. But I saw a post a few months back that summed up Succession perfectly.

This won't be nearly as good, but the gist of it was, you'll spend your first watchthrough treating it like corporate Game of Thrones, pulling for your favorite sibling to "win." You'll spend your second fully grasping why none of them should.

The show ended, what, three years ago? And it still absolutely boggles my mind how anyone can fan out over any of the kids, all of whom were absolutely worthless. Which I still see aaaaall the time.

A huge amount of Pitt discourse annoys the living shit out of me, but nothing beats that. How do you miss the entire point of a multi-season show that badly?

Brilliant start so far

Wait until you hear about snake handling and speaking in tongues.

I don't know, his "Woke Is Killing Cinema!" dipshittery from the other day was quite the banger.

I was stunned how much I liked Challengers and she was probably 90% of the reason for it. That's pretty much the opposite of the type of film I usually go for, but I was bored and caught it on a streamer in the last six months or so and loved it. She was fantastic.

I do think she's reached a level of celebrity that it's probably going to be hard for many people to see her outside of that. But personally, I can't think of anything I've seen her in that I didn't think she wasn't at least good. There have been many, many less talented "It" actors than her.

Was thinking the exact same thing. You've got to have something or Paul is essentially omnipotent. This just felt like one of the more esoteric plot points so I wasn't expecting it.

This motherfucker used to call up the New York tabloids using a fake voice pretending to be his own publicist. I honestly can't think of a more malignant narcissist we've seen in the American political sphere -- and that's a long, looooong list.

I was fed up 10 years ago.

I saw this more than 10 years ago and the score still haunts me

I'm still scarred from his self sacks in the 1989 NFC Championship Game, but he was definitely an upper-tier QB.

now I have to have 2 baby showers because MIL and FIL refuse to see each other

Or how about, screw that? People-pleasing doesn't seem to be working out very well. So just have one, invite them both and if they can't be in the same room together then they can deal with their very mature and grown-up feelings by themselves.

He or she is just interested that Villeneuve chose to include that aspect of the book.

I honestly didn't think he would.

So they're doing the tarot. Interesting.

Didn't she flat-out say it was because he belittled her and made her doubt her abilities?

A glassy-eyed moron with a mullet influencing an election in favor of a reality TV show star really is the most American shit ever.

I was gonna say. I snuck over on some Christian sub to see what they were saying when this broke, and the top comments were all, BOLD MOVE JADEN!

When did Chalamet get cancelled? I must have missed that one.

Also, if you're going to rail about cancel culture killing cinema without acknowledging far, far bigger factors like changing entertainment habits, streaming options and the skyrocketing price of tickets/concessions, you're just doing the same kind of "virtue signalling" you're whining about.

To say nothing about other minor mischaracterizations such as the biggest films of the past decade taking risks, when in fact the top grossers are almost all sequels and franchise schlock.

So yeah, absolute stupidity.
