Sorry. I'm a busy person. I don't get to spend much time online for my personal enjoyment. I reply when I am able to. I don't mean to be standoffish.
Ok, but how can they be sure that the Jezabels aren't secretly working for the Eyes? They even place members of the Eye in commanders homes, why not at a brothel?
I agree with Diddy1111 (126), the movie didn't build up enough suspense to warrant such a long running time. It dragged. And the "payoff" was minimal.
Seth Rogan on a diet? He looked more like a discount Chris Pratt to me.
I understood the movie, and I laughed, for the simple fact that it wasn't done well. If it was, then even people who didn't get it would still be too disturbed by it to laugh. Who laughed at Requiem For A Dream? Even the most immature among us, if they paid attention to the movie, wouldn't laugh at the end when the creepy old man requests "ass to ass".
I don't think Dani was unstable (no evidence of that) nor was she "super-needy". Usually needy people aren't so self-aware as she was. And it is proven she is self-aware when she voices her concerns to her friend in the beginning of the movie. She knows that he is thinking about ending their relationship, she is just desperate to keep hold of it. Also, in an earlier post of yours you referred to Dani as "damaged goods". Not sure what you mean by that, but I can only assume anyone who's experienced a great loss in their lives must be damaged. I guess that means we are all damaged. Or maybe your're just blessed.
However, I do think she was eager to please. That is evident in how uber-polite she was to everyone.
That's interesting to know that the actual script mentions her being insane because that isn't what I took away from it at all. To me, it seemed like she was lost and hopeless after losing her entire family (plus her absentee boyfriend) and was more than willing to accept this new "family" that had taken her under their wing and made her "queen". The fact that she chooses her boyfriend for the sacrifice is her cementing her decision.
But that's just the way I saw it.
I think this is Trump posting under a pseudonym. The vernacular is spot on.
One woman specifically said she was making "meat tarts", so no, they weren't.
Ok. All of that is true in real life, but, in the show it is a trope. There are several instantses where a homosexual male who is married with a family would go out and pay woman hookers for anal sex. Couple that with the camera shots of him gazing either longingly or suspiciously at Fred, and you can see where I might draw that conclusion. He is obviously in the closet and finding a gay partner in Gilead would likely get him executed. So, he finds "Jezebels" and treats them like men. I doubt there is a Jezebels that caters to gay men since that would be considered a gender crime. As would, I think, anal sex with boys or girls.
I mean that he wanted to sodomize her.
Ah yes, the Kevin Smith paradox.
You're right that the show is not as brutal as OZ, and I haven't seen Wentworth so no opinion there. But as a whole the show is actually pretty good. It does have some comedic value to it but I think of it more as a character study, especially after the first season. It goes more into depth about the other inmates and how they came to be inmates. But for me, the season after the "inmates have taken over the asylum", (I think it was season 5? not sure) it kind of goes downhill. It introduces more characters and you don't really care about them because they weren't there from the start.
Thank You! I just watched the latest episode (7/31), and was thinking the same thing! He had her on the bed and told her to turn over and I was sure she would be given all the ammunition she needed to take him down politically. However we got a truly wasted plot-devise and a wasted character in Christopher Meloni. (A great actor). The way he was unceremoniously disposed of makes me wonder if the writers are sacrificing good story lines because of the backlash of seasons 2's tough to digest scenes, which most people derided as "torture porn". This is a show about a dystopian world, of coarse some of the story lines are going to be hard to watch. That doesn't mean they should not be explored. If anything, they serve as a warning of what may come to pass if we are not careful to check ourselves.
So was Xena, Warrior Princess. But that lasted 6 seasons. Who says we can't have kitsch programming.
I was under the impression that he did write for the show. Which would explain it's popularity. He also came up with the premise, if not wrote for, another show I was fond of called Terra Nova. I only wish it would have lasted more than one season.
Sorry, I hit reply on the wrong comment. If you read further down the feed, my comment will become self-explanatory.
Aster is a dime-store Aronofsky. Until he proves himself otherwise.
What I want to know is: Where did they get all the fucking scissors? And why the one tan driving glove? What is that meant to symbolize?
