Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Got this excerpt from the script:
Hawking Radiation
Wants to watch an Event Horizon porno
Was Temu Laurence in the last Matrix movie
Now Temu Denzel in this.
Now Temu Denzel in this.

And Dakota Fanning. Plenty of child actors that can 'act' like an annoying spoiled brat, very few that won't have you secretly hoping they don't survive the movie.

I've yet to see this guy in anything good. At this point he's a harbinger for bad movies/shows. And it's not like he's a bad actor, he's just consistently in lackluster (to put it nicely) stuff like Candyman and Matrix 4

They should have gone with a white main. Closer to the book apparently and people would compare it less to Denzel.

I love the movie with Denzel Washington, this show is totally unnecessary

One of my favorite Denzel movies of all time. No way will I taint that legacy by watching this usual Nflix garbage.

Snake Oil Salesman
Wasn't he in a good Dark Mirror episode?

I do have all of the books and they are on my reading backlog
Would rather read the books than watch that show

I forgot he was in the gay VR episode. Genuinely one of the worst episodes in the entire series.
But yes thank you for reminding me of another example to add to the list lol

Matt Damon Says Netflix Wants Movies to Restate the ‘Plot Three or Four Times in the Dialogue’ Because Viewers are on ‘Their Phones While They’re Watching’
Matt Damon says Netflix wants movies to restate 'the plot three or four times in the dialogue' to account for viewers using their phones.

Yeah I should have added "The man is holding a book titled 'How to find the terrorists who killed your family'" to the scene description.Matt Damon Says Netflix Wants Movies to Restate the ‘Plot Three or Four Times in the Dialogue’ Because Viewers are on ‘Their Phones While They’re Watching’

Why do ALL the streaming platform funded movies/Series look so...cheap?

Hoping this ends up like that recent Donald Glover Mr. and Mrs. Smith series where it decided to be more of a complimentary lore-piece that was directed and acted much better than it ever needed to be.

What is going on with this line delivery. Deadpan delivery for a dramatic role is insane. Also this guy has the screen presence of a background extra.

Just realized it's the guy from Wonder Man, and yeah he was pretty bad in that.
fuck it, I'm in. The lead has the charisma of a wet blanket but the action looks solid. Not sure about this as a series though, is he gonna rescue and lose her over and over?

There is a massive distinction between 'this isn't for me' and 'this person cannot act'
Because most critics (the show holds around a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes) praised his performance
I too think he was good in that show
IntentionalPun

There is literally zero difference, because I don't think he's a good actor (granted, really I just mean in that show, the only thing I've seen him in). Doesn't matter whether you or 90% of rotten tomatoes agrees with me or not.

LMFAO
It's a major logic fail if you can't tell the difference between 'this isn't for me' and 'this person cannot act'
I'm not even going to engage with this because you're clearly trolling

It's all an opinion is my point. There is no objective "this guy can act."
I'm not a troll. It's my opinion his acting sucked in Wonder Man. You and critics are welcome to your opinion.

So I'm watching this now and it's ok. The lead is VERY miscast though, he has no swagger nor any real intensity, if they limited themselves in casting and didn't consider a more diverse pool of talent, it's really hurting the show. Still, the action is decent. The daughter actress Billie Boullet or whatever, is the real find here. She has the vulnerability, the grit, and the looks to carry the story.
Sadly though, the show is just a pale imitation of things like The Terminal List, which had 1000% the violence and thrills.

I dunno man. I'd call it entertainingly bad. For me it's in the same category as the later seasons of 24 where you would load up on a few beers and enjoy the ride. Anyway it's a step up on most modern trash. At least it's fun.
