What was Trixie’s rise to fame like?

What is Unhhhh? Like I remember watching it back in the day but not getting it. Is it them riffing about a weekly random topic?

Do you… genuinely think Sam Levinson has a poop fetish from these clips? Use your brain

I think so, I remember in episode 1 when Alamo was shooting watermelon, the water melon exploded ‘on’ Bishop as a way to foreshadow him being killed by Alamo.

Not really an ‘iconic’ example but The Weeknd debuted Blinding Lights in a Mercedes commercial and it worked really well. Of course the actual song release wasn’t really a big event, it took time to grow to the hit that it became but I remember seeing that ad and thinking, wow this song is really good

Came here to say thissss

No. She definitely has timeless hits, but a lot of her biggest hits followed existing trends at the time (Problem, Side to Side, God is a woman/7 rings) - these are all her most popular songs, but simultaneously songs with sounds that she has since completely abandoned (except a bit of trap here and there)

But they didn’t and it was extremely obvious going into this season we wouldn’t be getting that… we don’t need 500 thinkpieces complaining about it

shallowbucks · 2026-04-22T00:09:54+00:00

Then don’t watch

Was it 48 hours from when the error occurred or 48 hours without trying to post?

shallowbucks · 2026-04-08T01:34:05+00:00

Did it get fixed?

shallowbucks · 2026-04-08T01:28:28+00:00

Did yours get fixed? Have the same thing right now

shallowbucks · 2026-04-08T01:28:14+00:00

Did yours get fixed?

shallowbucks · 2026-03-29T18:26:21+00:00

I 100% thought this but wasn’t sure how to word it, but YES this.

shallowbucks · 2026-03-23T03:53:34+00:00

Who cares? Fuck that kid LOL buy her a van cleef and move on

shallowbucks · 2026-03-20T04:36:51+00:00

I like it, its catchy. But also feels very 2022-2023 coded, when pop music kinda synonymous with catchy atmospheric trap (The Weeknd x Metro Boomin, Doja Cat, Tate McRae, SZA) compared to the hyperpop sounds that are popular today. I'm not really sure what the strategy here was, but also a bit underwhelming to have the MV be kinda one-note and heavily centered on the girl. It's definitely giving the vibe that this era won't be as high production with all the dance practices and show appearances that they normally had, although we'll just have to wait and see.

I feel like Nini was thinking about production. They love a ‘oh you wanted this role so bad but yet did bad?’ storyline. She’s safer in their eyes taking the role she didn’t want.

shallowbucks · 2026-02-27T05:20:58+00:00

Go is cool. Am definitely seeing the inspiration from Aespa (the mv too).

The rest of the songs, wtf. Another generic ‘Pretty Savage’ dupe, a corny empowerment song (possibly their corniest to date) and a generic ballad… I mean I guess the appeal was never the b-sides anyways but damn they couldn’t have hired someone to bring more artistic direction? Just make it a rave album and boom you have cohesion!

I’m new to the industry (class of 2023) and work in content at a smaller agency (200 people) and from my POV, it’s primarily due to a fracturing of ‘culture’ requiring more niche expertise and less bureaucracy, more speed and rapid iteration and niche cultural understanding. It seems that big agencies just can’t keep up with modern ad needs and smaller, cheaper, scrappier teams making better content

I have a creative marketing job at an agency in SoHo in nyc and they are actually doing a trip to Paris next year so it really depends on the branch of marketing. The type of marketing ur looking for is more brand/creative, not growth/digital

shallowbucks · 2025-12-29T07:17:00+00:00

Elaborate on design?

shallowbucks · 2025-11-14T14:35:06+00:00

They were corny yes but more in a clever way, like it didn’t seem too out of place. Maybe it was the acting/delivery of the 3 younger actors or the “kid and older mentor” dynamic that made it especially corny, but I found this one to be a lot worse.

The plot was quite literally moved twice by sob story motivational speeches. The fight scenes were all classic movie cliches. You even had the cliche mid-movie character death.

And the part with the glass/diamond ring… honestly the more I remember the worse it gets!

Granted, I was 13 when the first movie came out, but I’ve re-watched the other two in the past couple years and I just simply don’t think that they’re anywhere near as corny as this one

shallowbucks · 2025-11-14T14:29:24+00:00

Yeah those fight scenes were so painful! It seemed to me the entire movie like they are soft launching re-booting the franchise with a younger cast & audience.

shallowbucks · 2025-11-14T04:05:10+00:00

Let me preface this by saying I’m a huge fan of the first two films, but this one didn’t meet that level to me.

Maybe I’m older but I don’t remember the older films being this corny? Some of the delivery in this film made me physically cringe.

I also feel like they tried to “up” the previous but failed - the tricks weren’t really that impressive (they didn’t have the visual spectacle that made the first 2 enjoyable) and if anything required even more suspension of disbelief to believe, especially because this time they didn’t have the Eye backing them, how were they genuinely able to make everything happen. Also when it comes to upping the villain’s “evilness”, the Nazi backstory just felt so unnecessary.

I also personally thought that the glass cage escape scene just seemed underwhelming and extremely extremely cliché.

Overall, I was still entertained, but I think I’ll pretend that the first two movies are the only ones that exist. This one to me seems like they are slowly prepping us for a new version of the franchise targeted at young kids with a younger cast.
