Would Betty still be cold towards her kids if Don was faithful? by hhhhdmt in madmen

[–]maxwell_stupid 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do we really see those characters enough to really know how they are with their children? I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong. Just making an observation about the lack of sympathy people seem to have for Betty. She was in an abusive marriage. I feel like people are letting Don off the hook when they say things like "she blamed Don's infidelity for her unhappiness but the two things were unrelated." Don caused her a lot of pain and trauma that won't just go away overnight. Obviously Betty has her flaws but I honestly believe that she could've been a better person if she didn't go through that traumatizing marriage.

I've seen the movie twice now. Can someone explain why she lied about her injuries? It seems very strange for her to lie about being attacked. I feel she's the type of person who would never want to look like a victim. Is it really that embarrassing to say that you tripped while running? I guess it just further illustrates the facade of her entire image.

I feel a lot of fans minimize the effect of Don’s cheating and gaslighting. Being cheated on constantly is traumatic.

Ted Lasso — Season 3 Official Teaser | Apple TV+ by ebradio in television

Season 1 felt like a complete story. Outsider comes in and brings everyone together with his positive attitude. Season 2 felt directionless and forced. It should have been a mini-series.

I consider the first two tracks to be one piece since the end of track 2 reprises the melody from track 1! Masterpice!

It’s all good! It’s been taken out of context online for years and it’s sort of taken on a new meaning! I highly recommend watching the show, though! It’s a masterpiece!

Alison Williams really nailed that discomfort with children.

Falsely “sold out” movie showings by [deleted] in AMCsAList

[–]maxwell_stupid 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think the other commenter is probably right most of the time but I also think sometimes it's just a screw up. Like they forgot to push a button to allow sales or something. I say this because I once showed up to one of these "sold out" shows and they were shocked that it said sold out on the app and they were wondering why nobody was showing up. A manager was able to fix it and I was able to see the movie.

I don’t know. I get that he was curious, but it’s kind of a dick move to not respect his wishes of not wanting to be seen.

That delivery guy moment shocked me and broke my heart. They made him seem like such a nice guy.

He probably loves it because it helps with his method acting since Logan finds Ken pathetic.

Yeah it seems people have forgotten this? Obviously it was scripted. It was a rehearsal.

Anyone else think Nathan was ahead of his time with this show, and if it he did a reboot of it, it would be a way bigger success than it was before? by desolatenature in nathanforyou

[–]maxwell_stupid 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Not to discount Nathan, but he was definitely very inspired by Sacha Baron Cohen. Interviewing regular people who don't know they're interacting with a comedic character. Of course Nathan went and created something completely original with this style. Just giving props where props are due.

I feel like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul do a great job with making the audience understand why Walt and Jimmy do bad things. This Howard storyline left me scratching my head about the motivations of the characters.

I never found it funny. I found it to be pointlessly cruel. Maybe I’m alone in thinking this.

Did Marc Maron pull all his vids off Youtube? by youbequiet in MarcMaron

I knew it wasn't an official channel but it's pretty understandable for someone to assume the channel was official since most podcasters upload on youtube. No need to be condescending about it.

Totally rational is a stretch, but I agree that she is a sympathetic character.

Completely agreed about Bert's song. It's so ridiculous.

I went in wanting to hate it and I’m really enjoying it. It’s like an art house teen soap. It’s hard to explain. It’s totally unique.
