I mean the movie has comedic moments, its not exactly dead serious, his character was a loser and a moron whos plan constantly fell apart in comedic ways really, he was the perfect choice imo.
I don't care who sleeps with who or what color they are, thats not my issue with it, them just throwing it in there to check a box is my issue. You gotta admit that felt totally shoehorned in there and served no purpose at all, like what did an in the closet officer add to the story? remove it and it doesn't affect the story at all.
If it served an important part of the story fine, but it felt completely pointless and just in there to check a box.
Yeah and i think the cherry on top of that family scene, at the end of it we pan out and realize Henry and Otis are watching it on tv after the act has already been committed. They're legit just watching it as entertainment like a tv show, and after it ends Otis begins rewinding and says he wants to watch it again. Which even Henry seems confused by, honestly Otis seems way more fucked up than Henry in alot of ways.
Henry is a heartless killer, but Otis is way more depraved about it and enjoys it more, Henry will brutally kill you, but Otis will sexually assault them and play with them and endlessly wanna see it over and over again. Henry felt like a killer was just who he was, but he wasn't happy about it, he looked very cold and depressed almost all the time, but killing was just in his nature and he accepted it. Otis just felt like a kid in a candy store whenever he killed, then he would just go on to drink a beer at home with his sister like nothing even happened.
Exactly, its the only way its ever gonna get accomplished if people keep calling it out, it'll take years sadly, like you said its gonna take time but people gotta keep strong and keep calling it out whenever its present and let people see its a problem and needs to be stopped.
We need Hollywood to get back to telling good stories and not having an agenda when writing a script and forcing a gay character into every single piece of content thus effecting the story because they gotta check a box for their representation agenda.
See years ago movies and shows used to be pure and have no agenda and it was 100% about telling a story and not pandering to a specific group of people who like to sleep with the same sex instead of focusing on the best story possible. I don't care people can sleep with whoever they want but keep that fucking shit out movies and tv shows unless its 100% necessary for the story which in most cases its not.
Its legit in every piece of content now, and its always forced and obvious as hell what they're doing. I like the Gordan Ramsay show Hells Kitchen, the cooking reality show, and this season they had a ton of gay people in it, like 50% of the women was gay and looked like dudes and a chunk of the guys was gay too. And its not like they was just randomly chosen either, producers whoever specifically said "We need alot of gay representation this season".
I just hate this era of woke, its taking over everything and everyone has to love it and go "awww look how progressive we are with the representation".
I just thought he looked like a hillbilly with the gaped teeth and the sraggly look of his body and facial hair, i live in the Appalachian region and see a ton of guys who look like him. But redneck works as well, as you said some traits crossover between them.
Did i say he was a good guy and right about how he acted? no, but what he was mad about was fair points, her husbands been dead like a week and shes got a new man in her bed, thats a terrible person. He shouldn't have pulled up with a gun and yelling, but watching it before he showed up i was thinking the same shit.

Shes pretty hot to me, you must got really high standards, cause i think shes gorgeous.
Yeah i get that, but i will say this show is really good and has a really intriguing continuing story going on in the main story, i feel like the show does a good job of balancing the weekly cases and the main story pretty well. Like half the episode will be about the "Monster of the week" so to speak and the other half is progressing the overall main story of the show.
So not a fan of shows that have the monster of the week episodes like Supernatural i take it? You want a show that focuses on 1 single story throughout? like True Detective?
Almost every episode involves a standalone case that gets resolved in 1 episode, theres a continuing overall story going on of course, but each episode they get handed a new case to investigate that gets wrapped up in 1 episode. Kinda like X-Files.
Nah man you definitely got the vibe Matthews was there as Harry's best friend at the precinct when he found Dexter after his mother died, Matthews was in the know about all that, and after Harry died Matthews essentially became Dex and Deb's surrogate father figure, no way he becomes that if Dex and Deb are essentially grown by the time he gets there.
He wasn't a baby when his mother died in the original show, he was about 3 years old, about the age he is in the Original Sin flashbacks, he may be a tiny bit older in Original Sin but not by much
Heres a pic of him from the original show flashbacks, he's definitely old enough to walk and talk.

Oh yeah that shit went on WAY too long, it was like a 10 minute monologue, it made Tarantino talking scenes seem short.
I mean he did beat the shit out of her really good before she killed him, punched her like 6 or 7 times, kneed her in the face, kicked her in the face, broke her ribs, fucked up her lung, and strangled her for a good 6 or 7 seconds. They definitely made it more of a one sided fight with Jamie getting the best of her until Rip showed up, which i appreciate.
She was kinda half dead when she was being put in the ambulance, so i'd say he gave her a big dose of her own medicine before he died.
Yeah i guess, she knew it would have made Rip go and kill him and she wanted to be the one to do it. Still wish she'd left him a note or something before she left to go kill him telling Rip, making him aware of why she has to do this and since she'd have a head start wouldn't have to worry about Rip getting to him first.
As for Jamie's baby, i guess he'd already lost it cause he was hooking up with Sarah and the mother of his baby had nothing to do with him anymore and likely wasn't letting him see his son. So Beth had no reason to do anything since Jamie lost his baby all on his own.
Hottest mommy and daughter duo i've seen in a long time.
Honestly i would love that, some wacky sequels taking the concept and just exploring different angles of it, i could see them being really fun B movie body horror movies.
He saw Joel kill the gang members, thats when it was passed on to him, which is why you hear Joel saying to him "I didn't know anyone else was here, i didn't mean for you to get it, i'm sorry" then he runs out and gets ran over. So he didn't need to see Joel die cause Joel had already passed it on to him when he killed the gang members infront of him.
You're probably right, cause she delivered her message with this perfectly, selfishly i'd just like to see another one to get more info on the people who make The Substance and that whole mysterious network of people. Cause we never see anyone on that side of thing just a mysterious voice on the phone.
