Revolution (NBC, 2012) is a hilarious misuse of its own potential. In the story, some sort of Event in 2012 caused all electronic technology (including all transistor tech, incandescent lights, engines with spark plugs, and even batteries, no this never actually makes physical sense just roll with it) from working. Modern civilization completely collapses and people have to go back to using 19th century technology for everything. It's not that they have to scavenge things from the old world after an apocalypse, it's that none of these things work, at all.
People are scattered from their families on other continents, and people are picking up pieces where they last were. Memories are trapped in electronic devices that can never work again. Agriculture technology not used by the Amish is worthless.
So the world ends up degenderating into groups led by major warlords, who have managed to get hold of most of their local ammunition. But even then, the bullets have been running out and can't make more.
There is a lot of potential here, for the conflict between people fighting for the scraps and any attempt to pick up the pieces, to the generals who want to hold things together and the ones who just want their fiefdom, to the characters who are learning to adapt to the new normal.
So, of course by the end of the first episode it is hinted that there is a technology that suppresses the suppression field, and then the first season is about trying to get that to someone who can rescue the whole world, fighting off against a general who just wants it to run the old weapons systems to win all the wars. By the end of the first half season, he's gotten ahold of it and the last cliffhanger shot is his soldiers taking off in an attack helecopter that is somehow in perfect shape despite sitting on the roof of a building for 15 years.
It was clear extremely early that the authors didn't actually like their own premise and setting very much, as the rest of the story involved people fighting over the ability to be in a different genre (effectively, relative to everyone else, they had access to impossible scifi technology). The fight is ultimately about whether the scientists could fix everything for everyone, or if the Evil McEvilface general could fix it only for his soldiers so he could rule the world.
If you have a cool setting idea that is used in trailers to hook the audience, the least you could do is use it!

-Illtown - 1997
I might have done it. I might have found a movie worse than Den of Thieves. This is a bad movie trying to pretend it's a good movie. IT SUCKS.
Some notes:
I paid $4.99 for his on amazon. I didn't rent it. I BOUGHT IT.
The highlight of the movie is Michael Rapaport getting bashed in the skull with a brick.
Maurice definitely does have more lines in this than Den of Thieves.
This movie is like a feeder to guest appearances in the Law and Order Universe. Just off the top of my head I counted six.
Finch from American Pie is this for some reason.
Tony Danza plays a gay drug boss? It's so bad that circles from being offensive to being super camp back to offensive again.
I can't stress this enough: DO NOT WATCH THIS.
BONUS: Oscar Issac is in this as a pool boy - uncredited. He most definitely wants to forget this.

It is with regret that I inform the “hero buys a slave” thing has spread to woman-lead isekais
This trope won’t die. And now sexual fantasies of being a teen girl and owning a older man coded as an indigenous person will be imitated if the anime does well.
Show tries to have its cake and eat it too by havkng protagonist called out but shes distracted by hotness of people calling her out
We need isekai John Brown more than ever.

Well now I'm really curious ,what's physical therapy about and why is it so bad if I might ask? 👀?
It's just... badly acted and poorly written and the ending is an awful breaking up of a family unit and just... it's not worth the effort to watch.
The basic plot is that a very lonely boy decides to get injured because he's an idiot and got dumped (I... look, it didn't make a lot of sense) and meets a doctor in the hospital who takes cares of him and then, like, practically moves him in and it's just... it's this awkward slow burn where the patient is tsundere to the point of stupid and the doctor is just bland and no one matters and nothing really happens until it suddenly does and then we get this giant time skip at the end that just... none of it mattered.
It's not good and it's one I can't even try to fix because literally all of it is just... bad. And boring. So boring. That's one of the worst parts. It's not even bad and interesting.
It's a bad lowbudget BL and it's not worth the time it takes to watch. At all.

So, Velma show.
I've only seen the trailer and whatever teaser was released awhile back, where Velma was writing hate mail to HBO for reboot of the Jetsons because they intended to change stuff and "The whole internet agrees you shouldn't change anything ever!" and she ended it with a death threat and then proclaimed "At least Judy is still white," as we finally see a shot of Velma's face to see that she's not white in this show.
And like, after seeing that, learning about the synopsis, and hearing people talk about the first episode and how it was trying too hard to be meta and it just wasn't landing (like high school girls showering in locker room talking and making fun of how 'first episodes of shows always have naked people' or something.) and learning that the writer of the show is a terf-
It kinda feels like they wrote the show about 'no one likes changes in favor of diversity!' while making the exact changes they're shitting all over along with various tropes, so if it failed they could say "See, no one is watching because no one wants that stuff!" and if it succeeded they could say, "See! Everyone is watching because they agree no one wants that stuff!"
Idk. Feels weird. Pretty sure I agree with everyone else saying not to watch it. Terf trying too hard to make a point/push a message that's falling flat. Just the little I've experienced feels like a conservative made a show making fun of "wokeness" or whatever.

So.... I may have watched 50 shades of gray.. and let me tell you.. that was the most ATROCIOUS AWFUL MIND ROTTING SUICIDE INDUCING PURELY DISTURBING DISGUSTING WHOLLY UNSPEAKABLE HEINOUS CRIME to ever exist.
So to those of you who have never watched it (believe me keep it that way) our scene sets with innocent 23 year old Anastasia Steele, who is doing her sick friends job and interviewing a billionaire for the school newspaper. (College dw) She starts asking the questions and judging him- which I suppose no one had ever thought to do- and- surprise surprise- he falls in love with her. His... interest in her starts mostly pure. "You should be careful when you drink, Ana." "You like books? Have fifty, Ana." "You're beautiful, Ana." And while it's slightly disturbing to watch a baby-faced, Edward Cullen knockoff flirt with DAKOTA freaking JOHNSON, if you put looks- and clichés and awful personalities- aside, you are left with ALMOST the bare minimum.
Now.. here is where the action starts. What's his name's intent becomes more and more... disturbing as time passes. He does some nice things.. he asks her on a nice date and she says yes. So he sends a driver to pick her up and take her to his FREAKING HELICOPTER. Now what I don't understand about this moronic scene is that HE IS THE ONE DRIVING THE HELICOPTER. NO ONE ELSE. JUST HIM. What if he has a seizure mid flight? What then? Anastasia's an English major (of fucking course) how the hell should she know how to fly a helicopter? But, much to my dismay, Billionaire doesn't have a seizure and the both of them live. He takes her to his home. Not a normal day spot, not somewhere public, but his HOME. I would say red flag number 1, but there has been many before this (ex. Showing up where she works, tracking her, ect.)
Anyway heres where the gross stuff happens so skip this paragraph if you don't want to want to stab yourself 58 times 😀. So one they're there... he proposes a contract. She will do whatever he says and be is legiterat S3x slave (with a very discomforting S3X CHAMBER!???)... and she gets... *drumroll please* "And what do I get?" "Me." HE ACTUALLY FUCKING SAID THAT!!! So then he tells her if she signs the contract and doesn't do EXACTLY what he says, there will be "punishments" this was a turning point in the movie from "Dumb love movie" to "Change the music and this is a true crime documentary" So anyway I'll spare you the gory details but the contract he gives her is weird, offensive, abusive, and altogether unsettling, so she tells him it was nice knowing him expecting that to be the last of it. Oh how she is wrong.
This part is also terrible. The next day he shows up in her apartment. IN her apartment. Not AT her apartment. Chalk up breaking and entering to his list of crimes (which I actually calculated). So anyway he essentially sa's her but she's like it's fine ig and hes like aight bet. So then she's like "how come you're all emotionally shut down??" And he's like "I don't have time for this" and then he leaves and she's sad.. but she forgives him. (WHAT?) So after that frankly SICKENING scene, it cuts to her mommy issues (Mommy can't make it to her graduation because her husband broke his toe) but graduation comes around anyway and Billionaire gives the worst speech I've ever heard. After his terrible display, not only does he nag Ana about signing the legally binging contract (the law's not the only thing that's gonna be bound lmao (he has to shake every graduates hand because he's important to the school?), but he DOESN'T LET HER HAND GO AND HOLDS UP THE WHOLE LINE!! And afterwards he goes up to her while she's with her father and speaks over her and then forces her to take a picture with him. GOD I WISH THAT HE HAD CRASHED THAT HELICOPTER!
Anyway after a redundant, honestly quite boring number of S3x scenes, Ana is starting to realize she's not super happy in this.. relationship. But after some emotional abuse she agrees to go to dinner with the guy and his family. She shares at dinner how excited she is to visit her mother in Georgia (which was established earlier) and guess who gets pissed? You guessed it! What's his name!! He literally throws her over his shoulder and drags her out of dinner. Then, when asked why he's so mad she's leaving, he says, "You're mine. You're fucking mine" (which made me want to throw up.) Anyway even after getting yelled at, she still goes to Georgia. Well it will be nice for her to have some time away from him, and it's good that she's spending some quality time with her mom. Their relationship really needed tha- OH ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!! WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!!!??????
He shows up and makes her feel like shit.. again.. and then leaves in a hurry because of work. She also leaves and when she gets back he's worse than before. I won't go into detail but the things he does are borderline psychological torture. He then reveals that before he was adopted- when he was 4- his mom was a prostitute. Like I get your trauma dude, but you seriously remember when you were 3-4? His only crime in that moment was thinking that anyone gave a fuck. After this, they start fighting and Ana really starts to realize how horrible she's being treated. In the fight she asks why he wasn't to punish her and he says it's just him being him. So she asks him to... punish her. After some serious abuse she finally comes to her senses and leaves him.
And yeah.. that's the movie. It's horrible and gives faulty expectations of "love". It could honestly be a thriller movie. Anyway I really hope no one ever watches that movie again and the writers go bankrupt. Have a great night/day folks.

"So we turn God into a cat-" STOP! You Already Lost The Argument -.-
Taking the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, ever loving and never failing God of Christianity and turning Him into anything mortal is a fool's errand. God is awesome and inspiring just as He is, hence all the songs, poems, sermons, and celebrations about Him. It also creates no comedic potential because we're seeing Him act grossly out of character. It's one thing to have a comedic portrayals of God, but to have Him swear, make snide remarks about people, have Him act like a cat, or make stupid decisions isn't funny, it's just blasphemous and offensive for the sake of blasphemy and offending.
Even if you're not a Christian, you gotta admit this is a stupid idea for a cartoon as it's just a talking cat with magic powers in edgy adult scenarios. Nothing about it screams must watch or potential gem. This is just as dangerously inept as Cuties from 2020 and Netflix really shouldn't have picked this up. I strongly implore every like-minded person with a Netflix subscription to NOT watch this show. Of the thousands of better titles on the platform, this is one that does not deserve any attention from the masses. Let it be buried under all the much better shows and movies you could be watching. And don't harass the creators, actors, or anyone who works for Netflix. Just be the better person and don't watch this cartoon.

Also, wrt that last post... As someone who has taken to watching a lot of Korean shows on Netflix, since everyone has the same hair colour unless it's dyed, I have problems remembering who is who sometimes. Like I know how that sounds but I'm genuinely that face blind. ;_;
It's not a problem with main characters but if someone isn't that recurring or there's a LOT of characters, yeah my ass is forgetting.
