The Throbber has never understood the appeal of Mark Ruffalo. He’s a cunt and an adequate actor at best.
-
🦬 looks like he only took the role because it matched his exact physique as the time.
-
The Tom Cruise Jesus narrative was a bit much.
Agree, Hannah Waddington has huge milk cannons.
-
Task struck me as another show trying too hard to be edgy and strange while ending up boring and pedantic
-
It's kind of like Mare of Eastown, which has the same creator so makes sense. Not bad, but kind of also a way less interesting True Detective season 1 type with a northeast vibe. I don't know what it is but there's something that always doesn't feel right when it's a bunch of rich people trying to portray poor or almost even Americans these days.
-
The Pennsylvania depression vibe, he has not even come close to hitting as well as Mare and Out Of The Furnace.
The biggest issue is the characters and their acting. Compare that to Mare and her circle or Bale and Affleck (and Woody Harrelson) in OotF. There just isn't enough here over 2 hours in.
It's possible that maybe like Whooley I just look at @RuffaloSoldier and his stupid fat puffy visage and want to change the channel. I guess him and Leo just want to play dumpy guys that track down White Nationalists!!!

Fucking A

Wow, full cast reveal and 2026 greenlight for filming. Adam Driver maybe the only leading actor in this I don't hate.
It's important that this gets made before Michael Mann gets too old to make it himself.
I have a feeling that they are going to tone this way down from the book.

The Morning Show - Season 4
Why does Mrs Throbber v2.0 insist on watching this show? Why?
-
Holy shit they still make that show? I stopped watching after the very not interesting first season.
-
Chopping Mall. Security robots go berserk after a storm while employees are locked in. Cheesy 80s horror movie.
-
Task got a bit better with the latest episode except now you have situations so cringe where a drug lord is complaining about methheads being racist to him. You have that whole interrogation scene with black chick.
Then you have Mark Dumpalo where it's clear why he signed up for this, and it's not because of the success of Mare of Easttown.
-
Agree Task has improved and is watchable despite cuntface Ruffalo. I laughed out loud during the construction scene because I knew where it was going and how much modern TV and movies are just cramming that shit down your throat.
The Alien show got better and calmed down the sparks in dark hallways but then took a massive shit again. I feel like a TV show above like a B- now is too much to ask for.
-
I'm going to watch Gung Ho and the Aliens show.
It's kind of like your point months ago, we all need TV shit to talk about together and the execs have fucked it all up.
-
Tulsa King season 3 dropped. Usually the toughest season to keep a show going. We'll see
I watched American Made a hidden gem with Tom Cruise as a CIA pilot flying coke for the Medellin Cartel and then guns to the Contras. The Cartel said send us the guns and we'll send the Contras the coke. If you wonder why the Contras never fought there it is
Whole thing was based out of Arkansas with an unknown governor named Clinton running cover. Everyone knows about RR and former CIA chief Bush but Clinton is less well known
So in 92 you had Clinton v Bush and the CIA couldn't lose. TITTT

Out of Control. An open faced turd sandwhich on Wonder bread teen sex comedy from 1984
Pass on this one. Lame plot. A spin the bottle scene that goes on way too long. But Betsy Russell is what redeems this a little bit.
-
You have the funniest algorithm of all-time.
-
I do watch the big name movies here and there. But when I am bored and want to kill 90 minutes, an 80s teen sex comedy that I have never seen usually fits the bill. As October rolls around, 70s-80s horror/slasher flicks that I have never seen will fill up the time.
-
American Made is a really good movie.
-
I'm noticing a pattern
-
Nobody. Bob Odenkirk as a bad ass former “auditor” who runs afoul of the Russian mob. Not what I was expecting. I just thought he was some former boxer.
Return of the Living Dead. More comedy than horror. Lots of gore and brain eating. Lots of boobs. I will complete in watching the trilogy of the Return films.
-
The Toolbox Murders (1978). Have never seen it and always remember seeing the box at video stores. My best friend in 8th grade watched it and told me a little about it way back when. Lots of boobs. Has Will from Land of the Lost. Allegedly based on a true story.
Zardoz. Another one I had never seen by always remember seeing commercials for it as a late night movie. Lots of boobs. Sean Connery running around in a cod piece. Kind of slow but interesting futuristic film
Class of Nuke’m High. I am not a super fan of the Troma-verse movies. Had only seen Toxic Avenger when it came out. Lots of cheesy gore and cheesy dialogue. Lots of boobs.
-
Graduation Day (1981). A Friday the 13th ripoff that obviously came out right after to take advantage of the slasher genre taking off. Some boobs. A young Vanna White has a small part. Only watch if you love the early 80s slasher/horror films.
-
Prom Night (1980) Jamie Lee Curtis. Leslie Nielsen! Kind of slow starting but ends up being OK for an 80's slasher flick. Some boobs, but not Jamie Lee's
When a Stranger Calls. Another movie I had never seen, but have always heard about. The call is coming from inside the home! Starts off great, then the plot goes kind of weird, then picks up at the very end.
-
Started new FX series, 'The Lowdown.' Starring Ethan Hawke, along with WA native and UW alum Kyle MacLachlan, who has a much lesser role in the series. Pretty entertaining so far.

One Battle After Another
Biggest battle for me was trying to stay awake for a fucking almost 3 hour movie off of McMenamins soapy IPA's.
I love some of the shit on X that predictably jerked it to and took this plot way too seriously, "It's non stop action, truly one battle after another!"
This is a Culture War satire and California Noir (I think I just made that up but you know what I mean) where Leonardo DiCaprio tries way too hard to be a Lebowski type for Gen Z to keep his career going.
Sean Penn was horribly miscast until the final jokes at the end. Then it's obvious he was perfect for the role.
Depending on where you sit in the Culture Wars, this will either be a worthy dark comedy or a complete pile of shit in the vein of "the Left can't meme". I guess for me it was both.
I will say that Paul Thomas Anderson is fucking unreal when it comes to scores and cinematography. There's 4-5 shots that are amazing, even some small scenes like the helicopter over the California forest. The tone reminded me of Under The Silver Lake which is probably the best California Noir ever made. There's 3-4 screens that were laugh out loud funny as well. Leo wasn't exactly terrible in it, he's just kind of become a parody of himself now.
-
An account on X posted a which Paul Thomas Anderson film is your favorite thing?
The only movie of his I started was There Will Be Blood and I didn’t even finish it.

Day of the Condor in memory of Redford
Gets to nail Faye Dunaway but who didn't in the 70s. A 1975 Sidney Lumet film about a CIA reader who comes to his front and finds the entire team killed. In is reading he stumbled across some information on a shadow team and sent it on and that triggered the killing
Very 70s energy crises government corruption CIA bad film. A group made a plan to invade the middle east and Venezuela for oil
The end is great
CIA guy - Cliff Robertson - to Redford - It was a great plan and it would work and you blew it
Redford - you guys and your plans how can you do this shit in secret
What should we do?
Tell the people
Now? How about when they can't heat their home or buy food? They will beg us to do it (true)
Redford points to the NY Times building - they have it now
CIA - How do you know they will print it?
Fade to black

I love Boogie Nights. Honestly, have only watched a few others of his movies and they've been over my head. I'll probably stream this one and see if I can get through it.
-
Boogie Nights is a good call. Also liked The Master and Inherent Vice I stumbled onto recently and it's a by the book stoner mystery and pretty good.
