The Regime

Really disappointed with it. Maybe I had too many expectations. Probably will appease some people for the novelty. For me it was really boring and too absurd, but without the humor (at least for me).

I usually don't spend time talking about the shows I don't like, but I was really hoping for this one. I couldn't even finish the first episode.

@tgvlx "Maybe I had too many expectations" I think you hit the nail on the head there. Even looking at your previous comment on Elsbeth where you say "and because of that I had no expectations. But I loved it."

Don't guess or predict what a show will be and you'll judge it for what it is.

This story is not over. The screenplay of this movie was based off a biased book named the anti social network written by a corrupt wallstreet author. If you want to learn more about the actual events go watch all DFV's congressional testimony the dates he doubled and quadrupled down after his congressional testimony in February and April. You can find his final posts on reddit and also Visit DRSGME dot org to learn why the direct registration system is important. Market Makers abuse stocks the same way fractional reserve banks and the federal reserve abuse the money supply. There is no true free market and price discovery if theres not a fixed supply.

Theres a whole library of due diligence to comb through on Superstonk. DFV is still holding to this day he went silent because they sued his employers for 4 million summer of 2021 after he doubled and quadrupled down on the stock after the Congressional hearing.

The Squeeze has not Squoze.

the man is unbearable. just annoying beyond belief. the woman isn’t written to be much better but that’s mostly due to her not having as much screentime. also why would he cut it (and without even asking!)? the instructions couldn’t have been clearer. his attitude just really bothered me. i want to continue but the smug, try hard vibe is a lot to take. also the friend sucks. like, girl shut up.

I was bothered by him cutting it too, then I was wondering if I was superstitious when I'd say I wasn't.

Other than the first episode, rest of them didn't feel like "Black Mirror". Episode 3 was very good story and little bit of the mood. Rest of the episodes are barely passable.

Severance

So far two episodes are really great and promising. Style is very similar to [Cypher](https://trakt.tv/movies/cypher-2002).
I have to say I don’t really like Ben Stiller neither as an actor nor as a creator, but maybe he’ll do a better job just directing.

@karmalakas I thought the look more similar to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty which is also Ben Stiller directed

This was the least enjoyable episode so far. But, as usual, there were at least a few enjoyable moments, those being: the first scene, the scene of Prudence's "speech" to Ezekiel, and the ending scene. Overall, besides those three moments, the episode itself was very boring.

I don't care about Trig or the relationship between her and Benny. I don't care about Karan Soni's character. And Ezekiel was lowkey a little annoying in this episode. The only characters I seem to like are Benny, Todd, and Prudence.

The halfway point of the season is this episode, and I gotta say: this season has been more underwhelming than anything. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of enjoyable moments so far, but the last few episodes, especially this one, haven't had as many. I still think this season's plot, setting, and characters are the best out of all three seasons; the season itself, though, hasn't been super enjoyable.

woww ed is a douchebag. this dude needs to get a grip.

also, sean should have been honest from the start but im glad she opened up. better late than never. i mean, her decision to catfish didnt make a lot of sense since her whole career is about being proud of being plus size or whatever body type you have so catfishing as some skinny chick doesnt make a lot of sense then. these cliffhangers are really getting to me though. i never thought reality tv would be so entertaining

I'm feeling a bit tricked by this episode, cause when Sean chose her propic the first time, you can see for a second that she also has pictures of her real self, so I'm a bit suspicious as none of the other catfishes have the realself album pics.

loading replies

@nathanthenerd I'd wonder if she wasn't feeling well playing a catfish. They each have a producer visit each day that we never see so she may have raised it then.

Definitely the series has already lost its original humor, it only focuses on parody the current events putting Cartman and Randy as the main characters of the story, see Kenny, Stan and Kyle involved in the development of the episodes of the last seasons at the same time on screen is now very irregular. Matt and Trey just keep doing the series only for sucking money from Comedy Central.

@johniixx on the same day you gave this a 3, you gave Big Bang Theory an 8 and an episode of iCarly an 8. I don't think your 3 has to do with South Park changing if I'm honest.

Tomb Raider

This movie was terrible, I enjoyed the game but in the game she survives alone and has to adapt. In the movie tho she's surrounded by a group most of the time, she never grows and learns on her own but when the time comes for her to do anything, she naturally can with no trying. I hated the addition of being a bike courier and that she trained mma but only used chokes. Felt like an addition suggested from data pulled from social media or focus group.

loading replies

@ruegnueg eugh no, I'm a fan of the push for equality in films and always have liked ones with female leads. I had complaints with this film and her training because in the game she learns and grows. She becomes a great explorer.

This makes for a challenging watch. This movie is at least 40 minutes too long and once it gets to the point, it takes a while to resolve itself. Not very satisfying. This is the first movie in a LONG time I saw people leave the theater after already sitting there an hour. So it's not just me. This is a slog.

@tkpnpodcast what do you mean 'his new normal'? I can only find this being his only film made with an iPhone. He's expressed using it more in future but I can't find examples of him using iPhones more. His last film Logan Lucky wasn't.
