Missed Connections (2023)
This is a trainwreck of a movie that I unfortunately had no choice to watch
The downside of living with someone is that sometimes you have to subject yourself to their preferences.
Unfortunately I did.
Where do I start?
Is it the god-awful tiktok acting of the Miles Ocampo?
The poor misuse of Matet De Leon and her pedigree of acting?
The wasted talents of JC Santos and Chienna Filomeno who carried this movie?
The sexual harassment done by the so-called protagonist to her "love interest?" Physical violence? Bullying?
All of this. This movie is an un-feministic piece of trash media.
She did not even make amends to the people she HURT. She should've been arrested.
Backstage (2016)
If you mashed the bad parts of Glee and High School Musical and the Office
This show is bad. It's bad in a way that I would never let my 12 year old sister watch this. It tried to be a mokumentary with cheesy corny lines, unbelievable characters and story lines. Talking heads that don't make sense and add no cohesion to the story whatsoever. I was never a fan of Glee. I didn't like High School Musical. And as an "adult" I watch the office when I'm frustrated at work. This show seems to have thought that it could be a quarter of a success of those three shows/movie. This show is more of a train wreck than the second season of SMASH. (The first season of SMASH was amazing and I highly recommend it. It's better than this thing.)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000)
A performance that'll make you cringe for it's surreal authenticity
Larry David as Larry David plays a self-entitled, rich white man who thinks that the world revolves around him and he can get anything and everything he wants. His performance in this is so anger inducing because you see a lot of these interactions everyday from people of Larry's age who think servers, nurses, toll operators are pieces of dirt and should be treated like dirt. His delivery hits you at a spot where you feel sorry for everyone he comes in contact with and at the end of the episode you feel that whatever comeuppance he receives is not enough because he won't change his ways at all and rather be even more horrible the next time around.
This is a show that you wouldn't want to watch if you have a bad day and needed comfort. This is a show you want to watch when you're in a mood for revenge, or are in a fit of rage from something because you will curse at Larry David over and over and take particular pleasure from seeing him suffer.
Girlboss (2017)
Real life bites
Company is now bankrupt so I don't think this is so much a success story even though it was marketed that way. Don't get me wrong Sophia Amoruso is an amazing person for starting her own business from the ground up and being a boss-ass b*itch at it but I just wished that this show started while it's real life counter-part was still in the cusps of fame. Now it just feels like watching the life of a once famous football star who had definitely gone to seed. It's just pathetic now.
Fleabag (2016)
Another show that pretends to empower women by shaming women
I had high hopes for this show but on the trailer alone I already see some decided flaws and watching the first few episodes made it clear. This show has a lot of feminist themes but it also has anti-feminist themes. The most prominent is Fleabag's sister. Who in her point-of- view is her enemy because Caroline is successful, rich, and completely her opposite. How is that empowering? Should women sympathize and strive to be like Fleabag whose life is one bad decision after another? How is that conveying feminism when in the protagonists point of view being a successful, well-educated and powerful woman is a bad thing just because she is not a successful, well-educated, powerful woman herself?
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (2014)
He would be great if he can just stop talking all the time.
Fallon is that kind of a friend who always needs to have the last word on everything. Like, if a topic comes up he just happens to know something about it or has to say something because he wants people to know that he's so smart and worldly and funny even though his facts are wrong. He's an okay, decent human being but I don't want to be around him for ten minutes.
As a host there is much to be desired. From his fake laugh and awkward clapping to his exclaiming that he loves everything and down to the poorly constructed jokes that he passes off as comedy. But it's okay because his flaws are a bit endearing.
However there is one thing that pisses me off so much. He constantly interrupts his guests. His need to always be the center of attention derails the show. For example the episode with Whoopie Goldberg where he asked two audience members to be the host for the night. I thought we would get 5 minutes of two strangers talking but instead Jimmy focused all the attention back on him by taking a selfie.
The most recent transgression is the episode with Martha Stewart. He acted like such a spoiled attention-seeking child, screaming at Questlove and Martha who were trying to make themselves heard.
This is a pattern he has with all of his guests. Whenever they talk about something or explain something or relate a story, Fallon will interrupt them with a story of his own.
The most obnoxious thing is when he does his interruptions he almost always stutters.
If you watch the show you know that he always does this. Like he can't form a coherent thought before opening his mouth.
That alone is what makes him the most incompetent host the world has ever seen.
