This has a 93% critics score and a 25% audience score on rottentomatoes. Its power levels are just too high to handle for most people. And also the Emma Stone fans are absolutely suffering.

She is famous enough to draw in a much broader crowd than just the type of people who would appreciate the show. I'm sure there is no shortage of people clicking on it thinking "oohh I liked Cruella/La La Land/ spiderman let's check out this curse show".

I think Nathan is legit great in this. It's clear that he doesn't have a ton of range so they built the entire character around that and it fits perfectly. He feels like he's constantly struggling to figure out what it's like to be a human being, and every scene with him is like a prolonged panic attack.

Khanstant posted:Saw on Nathan Instagram there were noted similarities between a trailer for Anyone But You and some promo for The Curse. Apparently they made this promo 6 months ago and thinks Sony Marketing might've seen it and copied it, but isn't pursuing legal action and has booked tickets to the screening of Anyone But You to support the folks working on that. As artists they do just read the scripts they are given.

I agree, I was surprised at how good he was doing the angry breakdown on the reporter on episode 1. Not something I was expecting from him.

Someone should hire Paul T. Goldman to investigate this trailer theft, it seems like the sort of nefarious crime his ex-wife would be behind.

Nathan Fielder loves making things uncomfortable.....and basically every scene in this show is uncomfortable. The sound choices are foreboding and often menacing.....which adds an extra layer of anxiety. I can't imagine where this is all going.

The show would be better without the music telling me how I'm supposed to feel. It's very un-Nathany to see him in a cinematic production instead of his faux documentaries.

The Curse is very uncomfortable so far. Episode 1 was a wild ride. Episode 2 didn’t feel nearly as good, a little bit dull but that’s ok. I’m definitely curious where this goes. the role play cuckold sex scene was insane, did not expect that lol

Xaris posted:The point was to rile up all the well-to-do white people with a thanksgiving allegory, so it didn't matter one way or another. That's why she was pissed that Emma invited the Pueblo guy (who very much did not like anything there, and was the only non-white person there) because the art only works on the white clientele who feed off a sort of liberal guilt of empowering natives but while also commodifying and fetishizing The Other culture to assuage said guilt. It works by reflecting their own insecurities back at them. Imo the joke is squarely on Stone’s character who obviously missed the whole point of the experience and thinks there’s a correct answer to eating the ham or not.

Vegetable posted:Obviously the art was targeted at guilty white liberals, but Cara seemed like a competent artist and I gotta say I kinda enjoyed both the ham thing as well as the other pieces. The Pueblo governor guy had his personal take on the art, which is fair, and so did Fielder. But at least they got what the art was going for. Yeah that’s the only thing I really noticed about it. Obsessing over whether she correctly experienced the art or did something wrong, only caring about something that’s completely irrelevant.

this show is meeting my lofty expectations so far, with the second episode ramping up the tension beyond what the first established. my favourite part so far was watching the gears turn in asher’s head as he improvises the most fielderesque data breach possible so far it seems the curse is woke capitalism fuelled by white guilt but I’m so ready to get turned on my head soon

Haha. The only person in the focus group who likes Asher is the climate change denier. That's worse than scoring a straight 0.

I loved the sweater scene. Just a really sweet moment they immediately slaughter for Likes. I don't know if I hate those people. Also, Nathan is a good actor. That scene at the end, when Asher gave some backtalk was intense.

This has gotta be one of the most brutal shows I've seen. It is absolutely physically painful to watch. Its pretty rare that a show affects me on a deep and meaningful physiological level like this. Nathan Fielder completely understands the feeling of embarrassment in a way that I've never seen, its amazing.

Steal blueberries -> judgmentally ask permission to eat them on couch -> immediately get them on couch was the perfect cursed version of a pretty classic gag. Grateful to have live a blessed life of never experiencing the pain of witnessing someone forcing a moment for social media filming, let alone being party to it. lol at Nathan becoming convinced the 2 kids are somehow following them across town at night to pick through the trash to gaslight him into thinking he is cursed. This, he feels strongly enough to pick an obtuse fight about it. Fernando arriving for his nebulous security job was a great, foreboding scene to end on, complete with chekov's shotgun there. You know Asher and Whitney are picturing Fernando somehow in a mallcop uniform with a little security vehicle to politely warn off folks.

I'm absolutely loving this show. It rivalries Hello Ladies as the cringiest thing I've ever seen, I frequently have to pause some scenes and take a breath before continuing. Give Nathan Fielder all the money to do whatever as far as I'm concerned!
