lol, not what I had in mind although this is definitely a great addition. I was thinking of Kendallā€™s character becoming highly pathetic (the actor does such a great job tooā€¦goat combination of weird/cringe/funny)

The rap!

true story, I was about to add ā€œor this?ā€ to that post with a picture of Kendall rapping but I couldā€™t find one I was satisfied with and just said ok this is good enough. My halfassed posting coming back to bite me in the ass. Sad!

Feel like Wabsgams is pure male wife, not an bit of girlboss in him. Should be right on the axis like Frank.

The last 2 posts contain English, but damned if I can make anything out of them.

Frank is a character on Succession

5.5 on IMDB. IMDB isnā€™t everything, but thatā€™s too low for it to have much of a chance at being good IME.

On the other hand you can you can reliably add 2 or 3 points to imdb ratings if the show features a gay protagonist or any other ā€œSJWā€ content.

All my favourite media gets 5.5 on imdb. The trick is look for 5.5s that are either rated 10s or 1s with all the 1 reviews being this is stupid and boring with not enough action. Then youā€™ve got a big potential for something great.

Gotta be careful. Some shows get brigaded and a shitton of people vote 1 for one reason or another.

Brendan Schaubā€™s stand up special was downvoted to hell by former fans of The Fighter and the Kid. Brendan responded by offering discounts on merchandise for anybody who voted his special a 10 on IMDB.

That said his special was pretty bad. Heā€™s basically an uncreative, douchier, racist Dane Cook

I used to be really good at guessing the ratings in Halliwellā€™s film guide. All useless now of course.

Does not compute.

Whatever happened to that guy anyway? He sold out arenas at one point and probably could have sold out stadiums

lol i just remembered that we live in the reality where larry the cable guy made like 50 million a year touring his act because he came up with the most aggressively stupid character in the redneck comedy group. why was i surprised trump won?

Got accused by Louis CK of stealing jokes and fell off the face of the Earth shortly afterwards.

That and heā€™s not funny.

EDIT: He was on tour in 2019. His tour ended November 2019. Havenā€™t seen anything since.

Still not funny though.

This review of Schaub hits it perfectly. That way you donā€™t have to watch it.

Honestly the man is a complete douche. Guy thought Conor McGregor would beat Floyd lol

Last thing I remember I think is he started dating someone he met on Instagram when she was 16 or 17

As a person who watched the first three seasons of The Handmaidā€™s Tale in about a week prior to the release of season four, here is my take on the first three episodes of the new season:

They should have had June die at the end of season three and stopped there. I understand that itā€™s an extremely successful show and thereā€™s no way they were going to do that, but it would have been perfect. The new trajectories arenā€™t very interesting and it really feels like theyā€™re struggling to find a new direction. The plot holes that I used to be able to ignore are now glaring. First among them, June would absolutely 100% be dead at this point, thereā€™s no way theyā€™d keep her around even in a ā€œbreeding groundā€ scenario. June almost getting away, then either dramatically getting caught or dramatically deciding not to go all the way, has already been done so many times. Iā€™ll watch to see where it goes, and itā€™s totally possible theyā€™ll strike oil again, but so far itā€™s been a big letdown from where the show was previously.
