it doesn't have the good characters of the original at all but the king steals the scenes he's in and the politck's are fun

Andor is the true gem so far

I'll probably be made to watch more by my friends but we did watch the first ep of andor, right off the back of being bored senseless by rings of power and looking for something to bring us back to life

It still mostly bored us and we didn't watch another.

I guess the thing is a lot of people really love Rogue One cause it was a self consciously po-faced mature star wars grown men don't have to feel embarassed by, but personally I thought its the most boring one cause of that and andor is the series version of rogue one.

Like I say tho we only watched the first ep and barely anything happens, maybe it gets amazing from there

The only reason I have ever heard of Bros is that there was marketing for it in Provincetown when I went there for an overnight a couple months ago. Never saw an ad or heard someone talking about it in any other context. If straight people didn't show up for it maybe it's because they had no idea it existed.

That said though yeah romantic comedies are pretty much just a Hallmark channel thing now, they are still around but don't go to theaters. Maybe they should have positive sex scenes, that might help them :v:

Definitely, Maybe was a recent-ish romcom that apparently did well with male audiences

the gay part I’m less sure about but Cum Town of all places had a lot of good things to say about the Birdcage, I don’t know if the gay romance was the barrier

It develops into a romcom over the course of the series. It's about two men who love and need each other very much.

the advertising for it sucked, not sure whether they were trying to keep the reveal a secret or what but for whatever reason it did not convey the tone of the show at all
it's very dark humor and blossoming romances

the period pirate stuff is just for scenery and costumes imo.

one ep has a character showing off their art that is beyond their time iirc

I think with the soy demo, sure. It drew eyes from people who would otherwise be watching Marvel shows, and that’s a significant audience. It’s not a general one, but maybe there isn’t a general audience after streaming and this is who you have to sell tickets to.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
My GF and her friends went to see it this weekend, they said they loved it. It seemed funny enough in the trailers but I don't care for romcoms.

It's probably a damned if you do, if you don't kind of thing, but the ads I saw in theaters came off a bit aggressive with the "NOT for straights" jokes. My Succ Dem relatives said that turned them off, but I wouldn't be surprised if thats a convenient excuse.
