the white lotus is one of the worst shows that i have seen in last couple years.
Idk about one of the “worst” like it’s well made and all but I agree that I just didn’t find season 1 all that entertaining at all. If it wasn’t just 6 episodes I would have dropped it. And it’s funny how people on here (and the industry) act like it’s some holy grail when the audience scores on several sites aren’t very good (Season 1 is close to rotten and season 2 actually rotten on RT and I don’t think there is any kind of vendetta at play) I loved Murray Bartlett’s character and I’m glad he won the Emmy but the remainder ranged from mildly entertaining to I don’t care about this character at all…
Yes that means I wasn’t jacking off to Jennifer Coolidge’s performance like the entire industry, I really didn’t think it was anything special, as I said mildly entertaining but that’s it.The satire is also very mild and obvious and the bringing in of some topics felt forced like the whole white privilege thing with Sydney Sweeney and her friend.
I’ll give season 2 a try and probably finish it as well, cause again just 7 episodes but the ridicule people are being put through for not liking this show on here is well.. ridiculous. Like it isn’t even that unpopular at all.
And to add another unpopular opinion that concerns the forum as a whole: I think it’s funny how someone can be called a crackhead for stating an, on this forum, unpopular opinion in the appropriate thread to do so when it concerns a series or movie that is a favorite on here and gets thumbs upped but when someone is otherwise rude to another member it’s immediately called out by multiple people. It’s very hypocritical. Like maybe apply your moral principals even when someone expresses something valid that you don’t agree with.

Also this episode is throwing June into the biggest moral dilemma in a while, which is like really interesting. Luke finally got on board with June’s revenge plans only for June to express sympathy for Serena. It’ll be interesting to see what June does next.

Ambika ModOctober 19, 2022 at 7:10 am #1205125919Every single Netflix release is ‘their biggest series of all time’. Let’s be serious.
They publish their numbers and Nielsen also publishes viewing numbers and it matched with Stranger Things S4 so no not every single Netflix release is their biggest series of all time. I mean how many have there been? The Queen’s Gambit, then Bridgerton, then Squid Game, then Stranger Things and now Dahmer… and it said “second biggest English-language series” based on viewership in one week btw. There is biggest in a week, biggest overall etc. Reading is kind of useful sometimes.
And before it’s “a joke, calm down” it’s overused and boring.

Ambika ModSeptember 28, 2022 at 5:49 am #1205100838Inarritu is editing it not Netflix. He said he’s gonna keep editing it until he can’t.
Alejandro G. Iñarritu on His Stunning ‘Bardo’ Trailer and Why the Movie Is Shorter Now — Exclusive
Iñarritu said that since deadlines prevented him from holding friends and family screenings before his initial festival run, it was only during that period that he was able to process the movie with an audience. “The first time I saw my film was with 2,000 people in Venice,” he said. “That was a nice opportunity to see it and learn about things that could benefit from being tied up a bit, add one scene that never arrived on time, and move the order of one or two things. Little by little, I tightened it, and I am very excited about it.” That process was still ongoing. “Honestly, I will keep doing this until it’s released to get the best film while I can,” he said. “You never finish a film. The deadlines just ask you to deliver it.”

Ambika ModSeptember 20, 2022 at 3:19 am #1205091077She really has the speaking voice down but I agree with what was already said it just looks like whatever. Could be Respect all over again but there is a good track record with performances written by anthony mccarten (The Theory of Everything, Darkest Hour, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Two Popes) to get a nomination so I’m keeping her in the 5

Ambika ModSeptember 16, 2022 at 4:55 am #1205085941There is simply no reason for it to miss when it has done so great nominations-wise at the Emmys. It even has the edge over returning contenders like Stranger Things and The Handmaid’s Tale.
I mean what reason was there for Mrs Maisel to miss for season 1 or for Succession season 2? Sometimes SAG just doesn’t make sense.

Ambika ModSeptember 16, 2022 at 4:16 am #1205085933Yvonne, Elisabeth and Mckenna already served. Mckenna Grace robbed queen #neverforget.
Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes, especially the second, some top-notch acting and technicals there.
The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way is suddenly they all seem to tell other characters to “shut the fuck up”, which startled me a bit not because I’m clutching pearls at a curse word but it seemed so unnatural? Idk, it’s weird I hope there is less of that in the rest of the season

Ambika ModSeptember 14, 2022 at 6:50 am #1205083202I’m hesitant about predicting Severance for anything, feels like they’ll be slow on it. But Ted Lasso got in immediately as another Apple show but that’s Comedy so maybe it’s different. Drama also has strong returning contenders in Ensemble and other strong new ones like House Of The Dragon.

Ambika ModSeptember 11, 2022 at 9:12 am #1205077091The dismissal just because it’s being praised and was expected to be praised lol I’m glad there are more movies that are getting some good reviews now, Venice seemed like one disappointing review after another. But i expected y’all to be negative towards this as soon as i saw the twitter crowd liking it cause those 2 things cant seem to coexist ever.
