The New Pope (2020)
This series is beyond insulting, it is incitement.
When I see things like this I often swap demographics. When will they do one about Islam? They won't - because we know why. Why won't they do one about their religion given that nearly all the cast and crew come from one religion? They won't - because we know why. But there is only one religion on Earth whom it is acceptable to offer insult to with impunity, and insult they do in this series.
Everything pure has to be debauched. The nuns are 'sexy nuns' and have sexual interludes with migrants, almost all relationships are interracial, or seedy, or literal prostitution. Any character intended to have a pure heart is subverted. It's truly, utterly, a disgusting and immoral series that seeks to do nothing than use degeneracy as entertainment.
Perhaps I am the wrong audience. I am an atheist, and yet even I find myself compelled to defend Christians in this instance because I am so exhausted seeing the stereotypes, seeing the discrimination, seeing the incitement and hatred held for them by the people who make these shows. And if you need to know who they are merely look at their Early Life section on Wikipedia.
If you want to know why this is a thing google image search the holocaust memorial at The Hague and find out whom they hold responsible for the holocaust. Hint, it isn't who you think. But dig into the role of the people they do in torah prophecy and understand that they see western Europeans as filling this sacrificial role of a tribe that must be genocided for their messiah to come and you'll understand why they go to any length to sow seeds of hatred against indigenous Europeans. So much so that the powers that be don't recognize Europeans as indigenous to Europe, did you know that? Look up THEIR early life section too and you'll find a common thread.
The Grudge (2019)
The most unlikable lead I've ever seen.
Andrea Riseborough is possibly the most uncharismatic actress I've ever seen in a lead role. I have no empathy for her. I cannot connect with her. Her acting was stiff and awkward, and her pink eyeliner midway through was laughable to try and make her look "tired" and sickly.
Halo (2022)
2 stars for using Halo franchise, no stars for TV series though!
Watch "Halo Skippin It" on YouTube by E;R for a perfect explanation of why this is a total bomb. It has no spoilers, so watch it before watching the series, it'll give you a clue why actual fans of the franchise are unhappy and only the new age Fans (TM) of anything nerdy or game related are into it.
The Last Kingdom (2015)
From ahistoric to a straight up fantasy.
The novels are brilliant, but this falls short. Season 5 cements it as a total failure for a historic setting, with diversity casting and sign language for a deaf servant girl, it's gone the same way all TV shows go once the wokerati get their hands on it.
It is an insult to the ancestry of the people whom it mocks. They would never dare do this with any other demographic besides Europeans because they know they would face real consequences for such mockery.
Tales from the Loop (2020)
Great potential, but too damned slow.
This shocked me. I haven't seen a TV show or movie with white people in it in like ten years now where I live. So to see a show with so many (even if they are just Jewish people) made me excited. In my country we only get the worst of media so it is very uh "diversified" (and by diversified I mean has zero actual diversity).
But the problem was the show was just so painfully slow and the main actress and her kid in episode one were such insufferably bad actors I found myself zoning out often.
Invasion (2021)
This series is being brigaded with upvotes.
If you ignore single use accounts it has a MUCH lower rating. Indicating that as always IMDB is being brigaded with upvotes for a terrible show. Rather than making a good show, and quitting it with the propaganda first entertainment last mantra of Netflix, Prime, Apple TV etc. They'd rather make botnets upvote it, just like when they bought out cinemas for Black Panther, people were booking "the last two tickets" at a "full" cinema then filming their shock when they arrive and they're the only two people in the cinema entirely.
I don't understand why these "entertainment" companies do this, I'm sure somehow it's to cover up the fact they are political activists first, entertainers last, now at least. But it's very obvious when they brigade the votes.
This show is so bad that I am literally on the ALIENS side. I want the aliens to win! I'm praying every scene that the aliens will take the loudest and silliest characters. People do things for no reason besides serving their stereotype in the show. They have to fill out all the usual tickboxes. White people are the bad guys. The one black kid on the bus is a super scientist who can magically finger poke a CB radio into working (admittedly all he had to do was twist the volume knob and toggle the channels but they turned it into some big Jurassic Park girl hacker scene (see they were even at it back then)).
It's just all so tiresome.
Swan Song (2021)
So overhyped it damaged it.
The only great part was that they had Mrs Doubtfire in it. The rest was mediocre. You can tell Hollywood writers write for other writers and the audience is an after thought now.
Santa Inc. (2021)
I went in with low expectations given the casting.
And somehow I was still so utterly disappointed. It wasn't even trying to be entertainment but just straight up pushing a political agenda. It was straight propaganda, nothing more. Seth Rogan and Sarah Silverman usually ruin everything they touch but their infatuation and hatred of Christians, even just holiday variety, is absurd. They're the grinch. Nothing more.
D-Railed (2018)
The casting was INCREDIBLE. The rest terrible!
Some of the best casting I've seen in years, no topical outside political diatribe injected into the situation like most Hollywood movies and that alone gets a solid ten out of ten for me!
But boy it was a hard watch, the green screening and those silly plastic toy guns were beyond terrible.
The Manor (2021)
For a minute I thought it was Netflix.
The movie makers, as they are oft to do these days, go out of their way to put their politics ahead of acting skill, entertainment, and all other elements. They put the audience a flat last, as always. And boy does this movie scream it at you all the way through.
Cowboy Bebop (2021)
Netflix is a living meme!
Remember the meme "Manga: X Anime: Y Netflix adaptation: Z" and you saw how badly Netflix always botched things because they put their politics ahead of entertainment, artistic nuance, etc?
Well guess what Netflix went and did again! Netflix went and Netflixed Cowboy Bebop! The meme is now reality once more! This, thankfully, was enough for me to close my Netflix account once and for all and until we actually give them backlash for their destruction of things they will never stop!
Torden (2020)
More political theatre than theatre.
This is a tired and one dimensional movie, like so many these days, which puts hitting all the talking points and ticking all the boxes far, far ahead of entertaining the audience. I'm still wondering why they only do this to Germanic gods though. When will we see an African woman depicting Mohammed? I guess they're just not ready for that huh?
Loki (2021)
The potential was squandered by the writing.
As always, Hollywood writers write for Hollywood writers and not for audiences, they rely on the pre-existing bias and hype of fans to carry shows rather than engaging potential viewers. This has worked so far for them, but will not work long term. Providing a quality product is vastly superior to pandering.
Further their desperate need to tick boxes absolutely destroyed the casting of this. Most of the characters were utterly unbelievable bar two. You'll know who they are soon enough as they will be the only characters you care one iota (and it'll be a small one) about.
So unless you're already a huge fan of this franchise, or a Hollywood writer who likes it when writers write for writers, you will be as disappointed as I was.
Voyagers (2021)
Entertainment producers make content for entertainment industry, not audiences.
Writers write for other writers. Directors direct for other directors. Long gone is the day when movies are made for audiences, they are no longer entertainment. They must tick certain boxes to get approval. And boy does this monotony show in this film. It has ticked every single box.
The irony being in an effort so try to be diverse it shows the most unrealistic depicting thereof. Zero indigenous Europeans, the only light skinned actors are Ashkenazi or Sephardi, and the ubermensch of genetic engineering are nearly only 1% the people pretending to be indigenous Europeans.
This hurts my brain as someone who studies intelligence deviation across genomes for a living, it's a tired trope that movie and TV makers push. All it does is place more pressure on people because you look like the person that the movie makers ALWAYS depicts as super geniuses who are doctors, scientists, pilots, ninjas, and able to MacGyver anything with a toothpick, all of the above at the same time. Then when in reality you drop out of high school you are going to hate the world even more.
But entertainment producers don't care, they don't worry if they affect peoples lives. They just want to prove how woke they are.
Army of the Dead (2021)
It's hard to get zombies wrong, but this gets it wrong.
They managed to shoehorn everything everyone is so tired of about Hollywood movies into a zombie genre. As if testing to see whether zombie movies can't fail they decided to throw in everything viewers hate. And boy does it fall flat on it's face!
Robin Hood (2010)
Terrible and unbelievable casting choices.
As always with modern media this movie chooses to cast people into roles that you just cannot possibly suspend your disbelief. It detracts from the entire thing and jerks you out of any attempt to believe this is a period piece and not just another schlocky action flick. This absolutely destroyed this movie for me. I really wanted to like it. But I couldn't.
Love, Death & Robots (2019)
Hugely overrated.
The biggest let down is how over hyped this is, it set my expectations high. This is just Eat Carpet from the 90's and 00's re runs we've all seen before, except for our generation. But unlike Eat Carpet it's skewed because Netflix writes for Netflix first, for entertainment last. They have to check off all the Netflix approved talking points and try and shoehorn entertainment somewhere in the end of it all which leads to failure almost always.
Oxygène (2021)
Slow, tedious, and unlikable.
That's just the actress they chose. The film is predictable, it telegraphs each reveal from a mile away. But I found myself distracted even more so by the actors horrific fungal nail infection. Like Brie Larson's toes--rather than treating the infection--she has just painted over it with nail polish leading to claw like deformity of her fingertips. For germophobes this is horrific, seeing as her hands always look dirty, the edges of the nail polish flaking away to reveal yellowy brain clawlike nails that look like she was digging in soil with her hands. It's the stuff nightmares are made of for me.
Law & Order: Organized Crime (2021)
I was so, so hopeful. I wanted to like it.
But like all stuff written in Hollywood it's written for Hollywood, not for audiences outside of Hollywood. They do the usual exposition dumping "Look how smart I am." virtue signalling routine, all the same boring nonsense for the same boring writers guild, putting entertainment a solid last on the list of tick boxes. It's a shame because they had two good actors for the show then chose to underuse them both and instead peddle nonsense. Shameful example of how detached from their audience Hollywood writers truly are.
Attack of the Giant Blurry Finger (2021)
Alt title: Dude Films his Girlfriend for Far Too Long.
She's not hot enough to carry this. Given all his "films" are just him filming his girlfriend in her underwear or naked I can't exactly call this a "movie" but it's not even a YouTube short worth watching.
Willy's Wonderland (2021)
Imagine a Netflix adaptation of Five Nights at Freddys.
If it were Nick Cage fighting robots I'd have loved it. But it's not just that. It's a true Netflix Adaptation, where they aren't selling entertainment. For no reason there's a talk about growing pot, all relationships are interracial, all the bad guys are white, and the ethnic mix of the cast is absolutely unrealistic (2 Jewish kids, 2 south Americans, and 3 black guys) it's just another example of Hollywood peddling propaganda first, entertainment last.
A Glitch in the Matrix (2021)
Possibly the worst thing I've seen. Ever.
It's literally a bunch of conspiracy poop posters off their meds raving with weird anime furry outfits digitally overlaid in very crude ways. One of the worst things I've ever seen. This "documentary" proves we aren't in a simulation because NOTHING could be this bad.
A Rebel Born (2019)
Yes, it's amateur. But Hollywood would NEVER allow such a film!
It's for that reason alone I'm inclined to give it a solid 10. This man was a war hero, whether you were north or south everyone agreed. Until recently, when American's seem disgusted by their own history and hellbent on destroying it, tearing down statues like wild animals or ISIS.
This is better than Hollywood garbage because it touches on something important, something Hollywood is too scared to talk about. Whilst the actors are volunteers and reenactors taking their hobby to the next level seeing the orchestration is lovely. Whoever directed it and filmed it though need to truly consider taking courses in the subject, this is below a first year university student project in quality. But bravo for the bravery lads!
Wendy (2020)
Another Netflixing of our youth.
Childhood memories and indigenous European fairytales and childrens stories will never stop being Netflixed as long as they can turn a dime off of them.
Imagine if they did this to any other indigenous peoples around the world? They'd be tried for it in no time.
Happiest Season (2020)
Hypebeast.
I should have known when every establishment journalist wrote the same article the same day about how this is an instant Christmas classic and will be your family Christmas movie forever more that it was being over hyped.
This isn't quirky, this isn't cool, and the beaten trope of how hard it is being the most powerful demographic on earth is just an exhausting lie we're told over and over again.
If you think for one second being pretty, female, and gay will ever hold you back then you fail to understand the human psyche at all. I've never found the need to hold my identity out there to justify a view and I won't start now, but there are no barriers or limits on pretty women's lives, gay or not. We're the most privileged class of human that exists.
