No, never will. The trailer was awful enough.

Who’s forcing you to watch anything?

I can only imagine that the people who think Bros is funny are the same people who think Full House is the funniest sitcom ever.
The notion that only gay actors can play gay characters is insane and ensures that the best actor for the job will be overlooked in most cases.
“It’s almost like people don’t know what’s good for them” LMAO. The filmmakers are so arrogant that they can’t fathom that the movie looked annoying and unfunny to most people. The leftist urbanite (who most likely made up the test audience) bubble they live in shields them from the fact that most people aren’t interested in being a part of the sexual/gender identity cult. He goes on to downplay the success of other gay movies because the actors were straight. The cope is real.
This movie would only appeal to leftists obsessed with identity politics. It’s clear from the trailer that it’s about the type of vacuous gay urbanites whose sexual preference is their whole identity. Then there’s the ridiculous board room scene where various LBGT members play the oppression olympics.
I have nothing against watching gay/les/bi characters, but I’m not going to watch annoying characters who think being a sexual minority is a replacement for a personality trait or accomplishment.
It couldn’t possibly be because the trailer made it clear that the movie is unfunny, cringy, self-important, condescending, and full of unlikable characters.
The Steven Hicks scene is a big change from real life and is kind of insulting to the victim. The show makes it look like he called Jeff an anti-gay slur and Jeff reacted in anger by hitting him over the head and then strangling him. Jeff in real life didn’t say anything about an altercation, just that he killed Steven because he didn’t want him to leave. The change makes Jeff look sympathetic and like Steven ‘had it coming’.
The change with the Konerak scene is kind of important because the real Jeff would approach men/boys who were alone and it would have been risky to allow Konerak’s friends to see him and make himself an obvious suspect.
Finding a mannequin in the closet vs. bed might cause different reactions. A mannequin in the bed has sexual connotations whereas finding a mannequin in Jeff’s closet probably would have just led his grandmother to assume he was after the clothes on the mannequin, which is what the real Jeff claimed. Lionel says in his book that it never occurred to him that Jeff may have been homosexual. It was his wife Sherri that told Lionel that she felt there was something more to the mannequin situation.
The change with the neighbor erases an interesting dynamic that existed in real life. Jeff’s neighbor being completely unsuspecting of his horrific acts and just thinking of him as a friendly guy is more chilling than your neighbor being an obvious predator.
“The show is not pushing anything that didn’t really happen.”
Not true. I’ve only watched the first four episodes so far but I’ve already caught several things that differ from real life, based on what I’ve studied. The big one is the altercation between Jeff and Steven Hicks, which I made a thread about.
As for Konerak, I could have sworn Jeff met him playing in the street by himself and not outside a liquor store with friends. I don’t think Jeff would risk being seen by his friend group.
I’ve never heard Jeff mention the cops making snarky comments to him. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Another thing is Tracy Edwards. I’m pretty sure he was straight and was lured from the street and not a gay bar.
In real life, Jeff’s grandma found the mannequin in his closet and not his bed, thus she probably wouldn’t have leapt to the conclusion that Jeff is gay based on this. Lionel says that Jeff claimed he liked the clothes on the mannequin and had dared himself to steal it.
As already mentioned, the women who alerted the police weren’t Jeff’s direct neighbors. His real-life neighbor who has spoken publicly was friendly with Jeff and thought that the smells coming from his apartment were him cooking something like chitlins. She never suspected murder.
Definitely in my top 5 favorites along with The Hitchhiker, One for the Angels, Nothing In the Dark, and Miniature.
You might start to notice odd behavior if you spent enough time with him, but if you just met him pre-arrest and had a conversation, he would seem like a normal, mild-mannered, articulate guy, going by his interviews. He had his friend group in high school that he would hang out with in and outside of school.
I can’t fathom why so many people think Ted Bundy is charming and attractive. He definitely gives off smarmy vibes. Ed Kemper is the most charming serial killer IMO.
Some are motivated by the desire for fame along with the thrill, like David Berkowitz and the Zodiac killer. Some are motivated by a paranoid delusion, like Herbert Mullin.
4 of his 17 victims were white. 10 were black. He met several of his victims by offering them money to take some ‘modeling shots’, so poor men, who are more likely to be black, were more vulnerable to this tactic.
Was looking forward to watching this but now I’m not sure. Watching anything made after 2015 is always a gamble that you’ll be inundated with hamfisted ‘progressive’ propaganda.
I love musicals, but this one was terrible.
It hit a record low this year, down 25% from last year.
She’s still way out of your league and can get more action than you, incel.
She’s way out of your league, even during her last days.
I’ve read Pollyanna but not the sequel. The title character is a bit over-the-top in the book and her optimism is toned down a bit for the movie. Aunt Polly isn’t as nasty in the movie. Still love both the book and Disney movie.
As if you wouldn’t leech just as hard.
Abuse should be documented to ensure that kids end up with the best custodians possible. Some adults are dismissive when kids report the abusive behavior of other adults, so cold hard proof may be needed.
The public’s reaction would be totally different if this were a man saying the exact same things to his kids, especially daughters. Just look at Alec Baldwin- made out to be a monster while Britney is just fed up with her ‘spoiled brats’.
