They need it to be PG13 to reach the little humans for... you know... the programming. Some cannot let go of fantasies. These are not real characters. Mental illness is high right now... and the programming is easier accomplished in a dissociative society. Always being tested on. 🙄
Over half an hour review for a review of a new movie? Seems to me, a bit of overkill.
@@telephilia there’s a lot of SUBSTANCE to unpack in this movie 👀
ofc i watched suits
I loved it, absolute grotesque masterpiece! My bestie is seeing it as we speak and I’m so excited to hear what she thinks! I want everyone to see this 😂
It's a film that DESERVES to be seen!
@@CultureWaveMedia I’ve convinced at least 4 people to see it so I guess that’s a win 😃
I love your review. I like how you guys are just having a conversation about a movie. It’s real and natural. You can tell that you guys love movies.
Thank you so much!
I saw it again yesterday, generally is a really disturbing movie, and in theaters, a couple of people left the room, but if you are not relating yourself with it, what is kinda difficle because we all age, I really understand that the character of Elisabeth could have done betterm abd be able to follow the rules, as I saw the other character who introduced her to the substance, but she didnt´t, but off course we needed to see the descent of Elisabeth. What it's most remarkable for me is the work of Demi Moore, incredibly, a large amount of women good actresses went throug that, for example, Winona Rider is now again acting, but she was away for many years, also it remind me of Anna Chlumsky, which dissapeared really young and now is working again, Madeleine Stowe, where is she, there a re a huge amount of examples, that doesn´t happen with men, and you can't blame the audience, we have seen what Hrvey Weinstein did in the 90s and 2000´s. The movie was hard to swalloow, I felt a little awkward sad and repulsive about this movie, but I had to see it again because is an amazing instant cult movie. To me is amazing, Demi Moore gives her best, Qualley and Quaid also are in the right point too. Qualley doesn´t have many lines but it´s perfect, because that´s her work, she is an object, so her acting is totally perfect. But Seing Elisabeth going down and down, it was sad. Another thing I think is excellent in this movie is the large ammount of reference to horror movies, the second time I saw it, I kept sawing new references to other movies, and it makes it perfectly, for example, I noticed a reference to Squid Game, like getting a card and talking to someone who you never see. well, Demi Moore was the best..
Prepared to get flamed for this
cue Linkin Park
This movie was 🔥🔥
@@zachmiller8683 blew our minds! Totally recommend everyone check this one out for the year!
How can a sex-ploitaion film effectively do battle with…sex-ploitation? How can actresses who radically conform to beauty standards (via plastic surgery) be integral exemplars for young women? Why would any integral actress participate in, and promote, a sex-ploitation/Roman Colloseum flick? Will this movie stop women of all ages, from the natural desire, of wanting to appear beautiful in public? Will a sexy girl running around in her underwear make viewers think differently about sexual assault? The trailer for ‘The Substance’ promises titillation galore for teenage boys and dirty old men, under the guise of ‘social critique’. How far is this tactic from the films produced by the American Social Hygiene Association, at the beginning of the 20th century? The males will leave this film with ‘flesh on the mind’ and the females with ‘cosmetics on the mind’. Which ideology or cause, could justify prostituting images of a woman’s nubile contours, to over a billion viewers? Successful actresses build their career on character, rather than contours (i.e. Angela Lansbury). Filmmakers who genuinely love women, provide opportunities for their feminine strength of character to shine. Misogynistic filmmakers expose bodily contours and then proceed to tear them apart for the viewer’s perverse delight. My favourite Demi Moore film is ‘One Crazy Summer’. I would like to see more films like ‘Howard’s End’ or ‘Trust’ where the women are given something edifying to do… While the filmmakers are patting themselves on the back, for simply reinforcing ‘the male gaze’, here are some valid criticisms: “But for all its feminist diatribes, The Substance is still a movie that is 80 percent extreme close-ups of Margaret Qualley’s arse. In nearly every other scene, the camera lovingly pans over her spandex-clad exterior, in sequences that are shot like ‘90s Viagra commercials” (Inverse.com). "The Substance’s presentation is as shallow as the very thing it’s critiquing. There’s no compassion, and certainly no catharsis - just more hagsploitation and a sense of déjà vu." (Hannah Strong) "An overuse of stale horror conventions in an already predictable plot-combined with decades-old, thoroughly unchallenging ideas about women’s relationships to their bodies-leads to a film that claims to support its protagonist, while treating her like the butt of the joke at every turn...I will not deny that Margaret Qualley is great to look at, but Fargeat undermines her film’s satirical point by catering to the same male gaze that the script claims to despise so deeply. Fargeat isn’t quite sure what she wants to say about women’s relationships to their body and images of their body, so she falls back on simply showing us that Margaret Qualley is hot.” (Paste Magazine) 'After two hours and 20 minutes of flamboyantly repulsive variations on this well-worn theme, even the strongest-stomached and most feminist of viewers could be excused for muttering, We get it already." (Slate Magazine)
Thank you for saying North of Ireland and not Northern Ireland!🇮🇪🙌
Put some respect on my boy Ari Gold and go watch it 😂
Never saw it but offers an opinion anyway. Pretty sure she has a lot of opinions on a lot of stuff she knows nothing about.
It's called Blind Rankings for a reason, she had no idea what was coming next lol
Anna Sawai and the team behind Shogun winning was everything 🥹
Schitz Creek ..outstanding but then go back to Best in Show
she has the Order of Canadian Merit! As a canadian....
Catherine O Hara cracked me up in this movie
This movie is trash tho 😂
I don't think the characters were bad, the pacing was just way too fast, good have used an extra few minutes.
It could've been 2 movies. There were a lot of fun ideas that needed room to breathe
Love Beetlejuice
Perfect for spooky season 🦇
You never saw Beetlejuice? What? How young are you?!!! Why does everyone feel that they need to have a podcast all of a sudden? I am going to start one tomorrow just to talk about people who haven't seen Beetlejuice because hey why not? You'll be my first guest lol.
Bull thought it was underwhelming it wasn't that funny just a terrible sequel
Did you guys happen to stay until the end of the credits? There’s another short scene with R.M.F. that ties things together with him a tiny bit more! I also thought that he was the pilot of the helicopter that brought the survivors back from the island in the second story, but I would have to rewatch.
@@chloeevangelista5075 yes! Yorgos loves throwing in details. It’s definitely worth a rewatch to investigate where little moments connect to one another!
you mean as disappointing as this vid?
Will you guys review Blink Twice?
Yes! Short review coming soon :)
Is this gay or lesbian?
Why would we worry? We have all the power. Just vote with your wallet. Done deal.
Star Wars has sucked since 1999.
It is what it is... a kids show. That is ok. The main problem I had with the trailer was how suburban OHIO was in the trailer and shouldn't be in the Star Wars universe lol. I don't care about the "the universe is big it's almost impossible that there wouldn't be something like Earth out there" You have one job... don't remind me of Earth... and you reminded me of my back yard lol.
They gonna film at my job 😂
The Director learned Irish and is married to a Belfast woman, and they moved to Belfast. I think that’s pretty impressive. Great review great movie. It’s also Ireland’s entry for international film. Hopefully it gets nominated . Slán
I thought it was a great episode but left a little to be desired as a finale but then I found out that it was originally never intended to be the finale and then it all made sense. I place the blame solely on the higher ups who made them cut the season down to eight episodes and decreased their budget.
I applied as an extra. Hopefully, I will get selected 🙏
I wasn't that dissatisfied, Daemons future vision of the ice king, the raven, and Dany with her dragons in GoT, made the episode barely passable. They are definitely walking on thin ice for s3
I don't think you guys understand how expensive this show is. The reason why there are only 8 episodes for this season is because of budget. From the very beginning both George RR Martin and Ryan Condal said the show was going to be 4 seasons, this was said BEFORE the show even aired its first season. What was supposed to be episodes 9 and 10 would have been the Battle of the Gullet which is a major battle and requires a large amount of money to be done. The first three seasons of Game of Thrones were slow and required set up, they also did not get expensive until the last three seasons. In terms of cost, House of the Dragon is way more expensive and requires time. It would not make any sense for a battle to take place in episode 8 due to no one being positioned to fight. Interesting discussion anyways.
I think to your point even though the show is expensive, they should’ve structured the story with a bigger climax for the season. So either getting to the climax faster or giving it the 9/10. The structure of the show in general is already way different with the time jumps than GoT.
@@zachmiller8683 But they couldn't change anything while they were filming because of the writers strike.
Do you agree with us? Did this finale fall short of Season 1’s finale?
Yessir
you say in the comics eventually the boys take V, the whole team already had V before hughie joined and iirc Hughie took it by like issue 3 or so.
a
I walked out of the theater with 30 minutes left to go. I was so bored.
It’s definitely predictable in parts, which bits of the film were boring for you?
One of the better disaster movies in recent memory for me 🙌🏼
Loved this movie and your review!
Thank you for tuning in! More reviews coming your way!
Very cool!
Enjoyed watching the entire show from season 1-9 and enjoyed seeing familiar spots of Toronto where the rest of the show was filmed in.
Or, now hear me out, the season finale is supposed to be the climax of the season thus bringing together all the characters arcs and storyline into one. You know, how you are supposed to do it? Everyone so impatient they cant see a whole season through because of changes. Yall need some valium and chill out.
“Who is this guy’s dialect coach?”
Really great finale 🔥🔥
As far as shows go, this was certainly one of them.
This show was awful
Last five minutes broke me ❤
The final sequence with Nirvana’s Heart Shaped Box was *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻
The cat had better survival skills than most of the people in the movie? At the same time, the cat almost got 2 people killed in the movie? I guess he was one of those cats that was in the Marvels. How are you doing today and how your day?
