It's Such a Beautiful Day is melancholy, but I didn't find it depressing at all.

Batista's fight is probably the best but I was disappointed his weak spot wasn't his balls, because that's a kung fu movie staple for iron skins.

Or in Crippled Avengers, where the guy with iron skin's weak spot is getting a hole kicked in his chest by a guy with a prosthetic iron leg.

I touched on this previously, but in movies and TV shows everything you are shown has a purpose. When I watch stuff I subconsciously ask "why is the movie showing/telling me this?" Typically, bathrooms are where private conversations take place (Robocop), or places where characters are vulnerable get caught with their pants down (also Robocop). Bowel movement is usually not the focus of these scenes, unless you are watching GLOW, where the point of the show seems to be that women have bodily secretions.

Maybe I'm paranoid, or maybe you should try to actually watch the movies you are looking at.

Didn't watch the specials but I did see Dave Chappelle live in NYC a few months ago and from what I remember the trans material was more about his own discomfort and adjustment as he's tried to become a more tolerant person than it was punching down at all.

I watched Dirty Grandpa on prime last night. It...sure was a movie. I'm not a Deniro connessuire by any means but I don't think the 1995 Deniro would approve.

I bet if you asked him about it he'd mumble awkwardly while not making eye contact

De Niro is really weird

edit: OK, I'm sure he's not lying about "no camera tricks" but even knowing logically how he did the phone one I still don't see how he did that without doing something off-camera

same with the marshmallow except i don't even know how that one could have possibly been done

I just about turned the movie off when the coup or civil war or whatever was 100 idiots wearing red and blue punching each other in an empty field. And every interior was an ultramodern nightmare, like they filmed exclusively in the loft apartments of Scandinavian millionaires. Anything having to do with vibranium tech was completely generic sci-fi chrome nonsense. Just a complete lack of visual imagination in the cinematography and production design.

The movie also had some serious script problems -- just awful dialogue, particularly in constant, unnecessary cuts to people commenting or reacting to action.

Episode 1 of the new Norm MacDonald show was good but episode 2 is stupendously bad. If the guest is too dumb or good-natured for him to gently caress with them everything falls apart

Hahaha; what’s his deal with those tangents anyway? I remember reading Cujo (IIRC) as a kid and it went on this tangent about one guy’s habits, down to describing how stiff his bedsheets were due to all the dried semen on them due to his constant masturbating. Back then I was like ‘Yo what the Hell is this all about?!’

E: to contribute, I found Four Lions and Dave Made A Maze are currently on Hulu

King is a pervert. I find it endearing.

I was sick as poo poo all weekend so I binge watched Maniac. I liked its inventiveness and the way it treated and explored its characters, but like a lot of shows and films about mental health, trauma, and attachment, it's pulling a lot of toys out the toybox but doesn't quite understand how any of them work.

I felt like they kept going back to the "now you gotta do a thing for me...in 24 hours!!!" well a few too many times. In addition to a bunch of the plot threads becoming really silly and overblown.

I actually find the Church of Satan quite endearing. This is the Satanic Temple, which is a different thing entirely that mostly does First Amendment activism.

I thought the church of Satan doesn't believe in Satan either, but are just libertarians.

Pretty much, they grew out of weirdo 60's/70's San Francisco counterculture as an excuse to party with naked women. Founded by a dorky Jewish guy named Howard Levey who changed his name to Anton LaVey. It's basically a Portlandia sketch.

I enjoyed Buster Scruggs throughout, but the first segment is so fantastic that I think the rest of the film suffers in comparison.
