John Waters really helped I think. He challenges taboos already and cast her. I think softcore are easier, but now thats less common and more a reverse of actors willing to go nude like HBO.
I’d say Sasha Grey is a better example because practically all of Traci Lords’ sex work was done when she was underage making it illegal to view and distribute. She didn’t have to deal with people having access to her videos while attempting to make a legit turn to film.
Dude, I agree with your take 100%! I enjoyed Maxxxine quite a bit, but your proposed plotline is perfect. Definitely would have made the movie so much better!
Debicki does the same thing to me. I feel like it's in the eyes, they're like a liminal space I could stay in forever. This move was also the biggest waste of Bobby Cannavale ever. He's a really great actor and they gave him nothing to work with.
In Halsey I heard a little bit of south shore Nassau County, Long Island, NY. maybe she was channeling Amy Fisher, who went from attempting murder at 17 to porn actress…
I remember a few adult film stars in bigger movies. Jenna Jameson, Traci Lourdes and Ron Jeremy played himself in a few. I went to see Crybaby in the theaters, and I remember thinking it was so great to see Traci Lourdes. She was such a savvy business person and very successful in the 90s. There is a rumor that Joan Crawford made some films too, and she was a superb actress. I'm all for it, but not Ron Jeremy.
The Halsey accent is very Worcester, Massachusetts. Not Bostonian, but definitely that working class Massachusetts/Rhode Island/NY vibe. Or just doing Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors
I’m relatively new around here but, brother.. this is home. If you ever want some bizarre horror movie suggestions, I got you all day. Your humor and insight is necessary and I. Am. Here. For. It.
Your take is interesting. I think the use of the Nightstalker’s name has everyone thinking it should be this Quentin Tarantino like experience where they reimagine history for the sake of a story. Which is problematic, he’s not a fictional character but an actual killer who ruined people’s lives. Rather than a true mislead that gives further characterization of Maxine. Her tenacity, stoicism, self-preservation tendencies. For me, Maxine is not a blood thirsty psychopath looking for revenge/to avenge, but a deeply troubled woman pushed to the edge in the way that she supports herself and an unknown threat that seems intent on destroying the budding life she thinks she deserves. I know this is a horror/scary but instead of a straightforward this woman is crazy, the story is the haunting of Maxine with her own life and how she overcomes ruthless ways.
I agree. The more I think about it the more I’m actually ok with Maxine’s arc, going through all that she did just to make her dream come true. Loved her arc. But I really didn’t like her father being the villain and everything that happened from there on out. Acting was great, but something about the actual story just doesn’t translate to me
maxxxine was so bad and weak. They totally ruined her character, she was so harsh in the movie and boring i didnt even cared about her. SHE also dont give a fck when her college's went missing????like there was not a single emotion.. Pus the third act was absolutely badddddd. and AND THE OFFSCREEN DEATHS????xddd seriously i rather watch jaws 3d again than this
I blame Halsey's terrible accent for making me realize that Mia's isn't as great as I initially felt it was. Rewatched Pearl to confirm...it drops in and out and/or she speaks painfully slowly to ensure it comes out correctly... I'm bummed because if I never watched Maxxine (and fell asleep with 40 minutes left) I never would have realized that Pearl/Mia Goth aren't perfection... This last movie might have ruined the whole thing for me... It should be noted that I didn't love X ..UNTIL.. Pearl came out and made it make sense ..
I found out about that after watching this and I was shocked (though her last name made a lot of sense for obvious reasons lol). I read into it and turns out she lost her accent completely after moving to the US at a very early age. Her Yorkshire accent is still pretty terrible though 😅
Bro, CONSISTENT quality content from you these past couple of months! You deserve all the success coming to you!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it 🫶🏻
Traci Lords is the first, if only, actress who's made the switch to mainstream that I know of. Can't wait till the stigma ends ❤
Sasha Grey also tried
John Waters really helped I think. He challenges taboos already and cast her. I think softcore are easier, but now thats less common and more a reverse of actors willing to go nude like HBO.
Chloe Cherry? Hello?
Sibel Kekilli (Shae in GoT), too. She’s a big name in Germany
I’d say Sasha Grey is a better example because practically all of Traci Lords’ sex work was done when she was underage making it illegal to view and distribute. She didn’t have to deal with people having access to her videos while attempting to make a legit turn to film.
I thought Pearl was the best 😅
💯 it is not even a contest. Pearl HAS IT!

Omg Lily Allen’s accent feels like that “Ello Spencah” accent from Pretty Little Liars 😂
OMG STOP IT I kept trying to remember the perfect terrible english accent and that would have been PERFECT 😭😂😂
Debicki does the same thing to me. I feel like it's in the eyes, they're like a liminal space I could stay in forever.
This move was also the biggest waste of Bobby Cannavale ever. He's a really great actor and they gave him nothing to work with.
Yes! That’s the name I couldn’t remember 😂
So much wasted potential. Both cops just felt very underdeveloped, both the characters and their story arc

Halsey sounds like Jersey or Brooklyn type accent with some Italian.
It’s like she was trying to do Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn but failed
Well she is from Jersey…
im p sure it’s jersey bc she’s from there lol
I found Elizabeth Debicki while watching The Night Manager with Tom Hiddleston. I heard a second season is coming! Hope she's in it.
All I thought when this movie was over was, AHS: 1984 did it better. AHS:1984 rarely had a dull moment.

I have been waiting for this for a while. I forgot kevin bacon was in it.

Sasha grey does game streaming and did have a band. She's awesome. Jenna jameson and traci lords were the first main porn stars to go mainstream.
Subscribed love your humor and content and your analysis
Omg thanks for reminding me about Sasha grey 😂 gotta check out more of her filmography..
"So the divalicious we got over here" lol
subscribed liked shared and commented 🥳
Elizabeth Debicki is stunning and every time she was on screen I was crushing hard.
Halseys terrible accent was so distracting lolllll it let me know this film was going to dissapoint me 😂
Agreed. I hated it.
We all would for Elizabeth Debicki
She does look like Charlize Theron in Monsters Ball though 😊
I think they nailed the look, but they (Thankfully) did not put Mia in a fat suit.
I blame Halsey's terrible accent for making me realize that Mia's isn't as great as I initially felt it was. Rewatched Pearl to confirm...it drops in and out and/or she speaks painfully slowly to ensure it comes out correctly...
I'm bummed because if I never watched Maxxine (and fell asleep with 40 minutes left) I never would have realized that Pearl/Mia Goth aren't perfection...
This last movie might have ruined the whole thing for me...
It should be noted that I didn't love X ..UNTIL.. Pearl came out and made it make sense ..
Would love to hear you review the newest Alien movie 👽. Facehuggers are…
Definitely not a Lily Collins stan BUT LOL, her father is Phil Collins. Granted he's from West London.
I found out about that after watching this and I was shocked (though her last name made a lot of sense for obvious reasons lol). I read into it and turns out she lost her accent completely after moving to the US at a very early age. Her Yorkshire accent is still pretty terrible though 😅
Zach Villa as the Night Stalker will, unfortunately, forever have my heart.
What's that shadow making his sideburns look like they're connected to his eyebrows????
its from the hat
Shoutout to all the bottoms!
Same thoughts
The acent kind of sounds like Long Island ish?
I was thinking the Bronx but you might be right
@@lajourdanne Long Island has those hard A sounds, I think, but also those long Os.
Yeah, it's not really consistent, though, lol.
the Elizabeth parts are a bit ick.
