Yeah, I'd watch that if it was a completely adult Nathan Fielder playing the baby, and basically no one ever acknowledged it and just played their scenes completely straight and deadpan. No superimposition or effects, just acting.

This is giving me Baby Colin Robinson flashbacks, though I would be willing to bet that a hypothetical Fielder take on it would be better than what we got in that season of WWDITS.

I hope they remake the whole first season, but entirely from the perspective of the secondary characters, film crew and townspeople. Just three people flailing around out of their element in the background, while everyone rolls their eyes and mocks them for 10 episodes.

Final episode was just a dream sequence and the story continues.

Okay, finally watched The Curse over the past week. I found it extremely difficult to watch, not because of any cringe reasons but because I have a feeling that this was a very autobiographical show. I just had a long term relationship end and my therapist has helped me to see that so many of my anxieties and perceived shortcomings were from being in a relationship with a narcissist. The way Emma Stone completely embodied that in body language and demeanor was very chilling and uncomfortable. Performance of a lifetime really, even if I hated every second of it. The horror style music and whatnot really fit for me.

I thought the whole thing was he didn't have spy anal beads and people online wouldn't let go of the idea, just a joke out of hand. With this announced, I'll investigate no further. If there really are people cheating at chess with their butts, I want Nathan to be the one to inform me.

He could have had spy anal beads, but no one knows for sure.

He had a post-match interview where one of the analysts for the broadcasts asked him to explain some of his weird moves, and he couldn't. The interview was basically Neiman getting outplayed by the analyst, who would be a much lower-rated player than him. I've heard that this isn't uncommon though, and a lot of top players are bad at verbalizing why they do what they do.

Chess.com released a report on his online games that concluded he cheated in those.

But it's all circumstantial evidence. No one has any evidence he cheated in over-the-board games, and he's sued several people/organizations to make them stop insinuating it. I'd assume this movie will have to play coy with it or the producers will get sued as well.

Are surveillance anal beads a real product? Can you hear through stuff up your butt? How did anyone go from "mysterious moves, seems like cheating but it's unclear how" to "cheatering anal beads"

The CIA tried this with a cat ("operation acoustic kitty") but it failed because you can't get cats to do poo poo. I assume the surveillance mic up the butt principal is basically sound though

The competitors get metal-detected or something to make sure they don't have any cheating devices, so anal beads were just a theory the internet threw out as to how he could be cheating and avoiding the detector.

people basically pulled that theory out of their rear end

really though I think it started with people talking about the bare minimum kind of information you'd have to receive to effectively cheat. and really all you'd need is something that can give an "on" signal along the lines of a telegraph, and that could easily tell you where the best move is by a series of pulses with a pause in between to indicate letter + number. and then I guess the butthole theory was more about speculating as to one possible way someone could receive such signals that wouldn't be picked up by any of the normal prevention methods
