At Home with the Furys (2023)
wow ! just like "eastbound&down"..
Wow ! Just like "eastbound&down"..
...except, sadly, this one doesn't look like it's supposed to be a comedy (well i guess).
It's just another reality-show that would make "idiocracy" looks like a biopic of Albert Einstein !
It's fake, boring,useless and a bit scary i must say : yet those people are so egotic, dumb and disgusting that you sometime want to cry, and wonder what we did to get Humanity to such a low point of mediocrity...
The good news is that you're still free switch off tv and read a book instead. That's what i did after polluating my mind watching those insane Flinstones after 20 unbearable minutes .
Jeez , i must be really bored to crash into those things sometimes !
I put this in my top ten of the worst things done by a human being ever.
Abstract: The Art of Design: Neri Oxman: Bio-Architecture (2019)
Perfect if you wanna know less about design
Each time i was about to understand what exactly this terrifyingly perfect woman was doing for a living , there was an ellipse of some kind making it less clear...
Most of the time the ellipses are a scene of the woman spouting whether so called out-of-the-box mysterious clichés, whether complete nonsense exposed shamelessly under the "artistic" label. Other time ellipses too when we have to watch unexpectedly scenes of her "normal" life , who would be totally boring if that woman was not strangely looking so feminine, handsome to the weird level that she practically look like a designed IA trying desperatly to make sense to us, simple humans (who don't exactly know what "design" refer to, thanks to this tv show) .
In the first episode ,the artist Eliasson was saying sometime things that looked like BullS**t to me , but his works were, if not completely clear , at least understandable, and often beautiful. In this episode confusion is permanent and you just feel like watching a top-model scientist coming straight from an old Bret Easton Ellis Novel, and one thing is certain : you never learn anything about anything, and the whole thing looks like a giant scam...
but maybe, it's because of the way the documentary is made.. Maybe this woman, instead of being a gigantic artistico-scientific fraud , produce beautiful , helpful and useful things : she desserves maybe another (clear) documentary to let us know.
The Watcher (2022)
a whodunnit without resolution...what's the use?
Though the acting , directing are very good , i ask myself : if the creators would have warn the audience from the beginning of the show that the case inspiring it still remain unsolved at this day, and would have not warn the audience as they actually did , at the very END of the show , would anyone have watched it ?
I know for sure i wouldn't have ...
Therefore ,all you see here is a bunch of plots fishing for the audience , ALL leading nowhere and the result is you just watched 10 hours for absolutely nothing , and you'll never know what happened , and you'll eventually forget the whole thing one day after watching it.
Which is a shame because again some of the actors are really great and the mood (mostly inspired by Rosemary's baby Polanski ) is sometime really interesting ... but again : there's some honesty to keep in the work of the screenplay , you can't say "oh ok , nothing of this was relevant" at the end of your work.
28 Days Haunted (2022)
Unbelievably incredible
Who on Earth spend millions of dollars to make this kind of thing ??
And , above everything : who on Earth can watch this more than 10 minutes ??
It goes beyond my entendment !!
It's.. i don't know ... who are those guys acting in this reality show ?
Comedians ?
Real weirdos pretending to be "Daemonolgists" or "ghost hunters" or "psychists" ?
Small time actors desperate to make a living with small time entertainment ?
What is this ?
I don't believe in ghosts , but i believe now that Stupidity can someone be kind of "Paranormal" indeed....
yeeeessh.
PLease don't make the movie Idiocracy being a documentary anymore ! Enough with lame reality shows !!
Heartbreak High (2022)
Not bad but
Not a bad show at all , but it's really weird that for a remake of "heartbreak high",this look so much like "sex education" ...
I just stopped watching it because it's weird to watch :you feel like you're watching a show you liked very much but it's not really the same so it kind of ruin both of the shows ...
I think writers (even if they have pressure from the company who hire them to produce something bankable) should find something in their plot that will have its own originality : not only mix "sex education" with "13 reasons" ?
For example , "dark" could look as "twin peaks" in a lot of way , but the writers focused in that timelin plot that makes both show differents and not ruin each others.
Haters Back Off! (2016)
Fascinating unfunny show
I have a weird fetish for shows trying to be funny but fail every attempts..i know this is sick !
I was very pleased with "god's favourite idiot" and "cuckoo", at this time the less funny shows i ever saw (but that i kept watching like a pervert) .
And then i saw ... this.
Led by an actress who apparently never heard the word "moderation", acting all with unbearable grimaces who would prevent any occasion to laugh even if you're 2 years old ; this show is simply the worst comedy disaster i ever witnessed. It could make "cuckoo" seems funny in comparison !
I see a global rating of 5,6/10 and i can't believe it :
whether i woke up in another dimension, where being unfunny is a good thing , whether the votes were made by the whole movie crew.
No seriously this is just ..terrible , don't be a sick "unfunny show junkie" like me and watch shows that actually make people laughing , like "IT crowd" , "peep show" , "flying circus"
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret (2009)
way between the funniest show and the scariest horror movie ever made
I don't know how to tell this : not only "the increasingly poor decisions of todd margaret" is one of the funniest show ever written ( after "peep show" , "IT crowd", "monty python flying circus" ) but it is ALSO a very Scary & odd Thing when you look at it...
you HAVE to watch the 3 seasons to realize that you finally are inside a mind-blowing script that will lead you into not only another comedian show , but something that will drive you into a Quantic experience of Comedy....
I recommend this show to anyone who want to get a Scientific , Dreamy, Inept approach of Life on Earth .
David Cross, Congratulation, you really ARE the Catalyst on this.
The Secret Life of Our Pets (2021)
lolcat documentary
If you own a cat , a dog , a turtle or a rabbit & constantly look at your pets thinking "aoooooww they're so cute", in order to fulfill a feeling of loneliness in your life, then you shall like this documentary.
Otherwise you might feel a bit disappointed about the scientific facts mentioned in this , jumping from one to another without any deepening educative goal, and finally realise that you are watching something like an endless "tiktok" streaming that will lead you absolutely nowhere.
You might then decide to watch your pet instead that documentary and keep your "aaaaawwww so cute" attitude : your response to boredom will be exactly the same.
The IT Crowd (2006)
the best of all
I see only one bad point about "IT Crowd" : it's that when you watched it , you won't find any show funny ...
IT Crowd overtop every comedy show , i watched it twice and still laughed endlessly.
Only "Flying Circus" and eventually "Peep Show" can compete in matter.
After Life (2019)
un unbearable load of inept garbage
I'm SO proud of this title..
i wrote this just to get attention :
"after life " is quite the contrary of an "unbearable load of inept garbage"
Ricky Gervais made a show i could recommend to people i don't even know (because i hate them already)
It's smart, funny , wit, wonderful, sweet , mean , sometime right, sometime ineptly unfair, always regarding toward our (fragile) heart ..
it's just ...
Human
that's a show you'd rather suggest people you love to watch than to watch yourself
but you won't loose anything if you watching it.
Sex Education (2019)
such endearing characters
Just give the first episodes a chance: the idea of sex therapist teenagers can appear a bit weird and unproductive at first , but if you go further you will find some of the most lovable characters ever created in a tv show !
The show is very addictive and the plot is always making you want to know what happens next , but the best thing is that the show is constantly fighting clichés , the characters are never who you would expect them to be so the result is a very tolerant and very progressive universe that made me wish we would live in such a clever world .
Actors are ALL great !
And above all , you will feel very sad when you leave all those kids : longing for another season .
Thanks for the creators , it was great.
Monsters Inside: The 24 Faces of Billy Milligan (2021)
AM I the ONLY ONE ?
Am i the only one (with my single personality) to consider that this "multiple personality disorder" is actually a complete crap and is everything but a scientific proof ?
Am i the only one to think that this "Billy Mulligan" was a looser who just MOCKED a whole part of the psychiatrists/pseudo scientists area at this time ? (and now a bunch of people via Netflix nowadays)
Should i believe MPD is true just because an inept so-called shrink ("cornelia wilbur") in the 70's made a book , a movie & even a tv show about this "multiple personality disorder", so this stupid invention would be actually true ?
The result is this documentary about a complete looser rapist & murderer who pretended he own "24 personalities" (and acted them very poorly in court and everytime he was filmed) whereas -in the same documentary- NOTHING is ever said about the victims of this pantomime clown coming straight from a dump tv show...wow !!! Some respect to their families
now that was the worst thing i ever saw on TV screen !!
Eeeewwww.
Norsemen (2016)
a fascinating despicable and never funny show
Yet the show seems to be written by two people sharing opposite point of view of anachronistic humor :
-one thinking that it would be hilarious if the Vikings were to be like us modern occidentals (endlessly discussing about stress, emotions etc...)
-the other one considering violence, cruelty ,slavery, humiliation and generally scat vulgarity is the place to go when you want to get a cheap laugh, including fart, urine and skull crushed (eventually all the same together)...
Many of a producer would have told the folks to choose one or the other way to get something coherent at least in the humour .. but apparently the producer was kind of (sleeping) when he should have told that to the authors
the result is one weird tv show constantly repeating the same routine : one (too) long scene of dialogs sounding like a lame version of "Woody Allen amongst the Vikings", ending with a gore/scat/almost BDSM disgusting sequence...
It's hard to tell if the actors are good or not, because their characters never have the chance to get less low than an incoherent cartoon creature doing constantly contradictory things...
but anyway , the jokes are so unfunny , the plot is such an utter mess , the fact the show survived three seasons and the general confusion it makes you enter in when you watch it with dumbfounded eyes : everything makes around all this a kind of aura of fascination !! I watched it in a "how far will they go in the disaster".
I kinda loved to hate it, even if that was boring sometimes i must confess.
I can warn everyone who would watch this show that way : it goes worst and worst by the episodes, so your insane and pervert expectations will be fulfilled.
Just one word to conclude : everyone who is to compare that show to Monty Python needs seriously to enter a Mental Institution of any kind . There's NO similarity between this and the "Flying Circus" ! None. The main difference is that the Monty Python show was clever ..which is apparently not the point here, since we're supposed to laugh at how stupid homosexuality, women emancipation, Art (drama : eeeewww !) are .
Russian Doll (2019)
great comedy turning dark
I lately discovered that show and was a bit afraid that it would be a copycat of "groundhog day" at first.
Well , groundhog was inspired by Ken Greenwood's book "replay", so the tv show look more like "replay" actually than "groundhog day" , and that's a good point cause it's different but based on the same idea.
The show turns darker and darker in a brilliant way , and the team have the talent to make unlikeable people likeable as the episodes goes ( and for that reason that reminds, in a darker way, Poehler's "parks and recreation") you'll be even surprised to love them at the end, and sad to leave them!
I especially loved the atmosphere of all , there's a constant "day-nightmare" touch without any horrific effect
If you missed it , just watch it.
Paradise PD (2018)
Terrible
Now that's a disaster.. Every joke fall right in the trashbin, there's is absolutely no characters to like ... how can those guys had the idea to go play in the same league than South Park , Rick & Morty & Bojack Horseman ?? I don't know but the result is a total failure . Someone here said the second season was even worst , but honestly this goes beyond my imagination ....
Peep Show (2003)
could watch it endlessly
I watch the whole series now for the third time , and still appreciate the brilliant writing of all the episodes . I can't believe it still makes me laugh (at the desperate and hopeless lives of Mark & Jeremy) yet it does and even more than the first time i watched it . I seriously put that show on top of every other shows i've ever seen ( just next to South Park , Rick & Morty and the whole Flying Circus) . Give it a try , it's the Royce of all comedy show , ! Plus it should be considered as an healthy show to watch because it's reassuring to see that everything you fail in your own life , you just can't fail it at the same degree of obscene failure the protagonists of this show will attempt ! Yeah : Mark & Jez are really true "life coach" for everyone of us !!
Swinging Safari (2018)
what on earth is this ?
I can only think about one only purpose of this movie : it was made to be recommended to people you TRULY hate and want to have the worst time of their life ! watching this is like experiencing to stare at an aquarium filled with crap and every kind of feces for 90 minutes !!! it's John Waters without any ounce of talent ! ...why?? why this movie ?? hatds i even ean ?? why involving such a magnificient actress like Rahda Mitchell in this ??
Kidding (2018)
a strange mix between odd and.. what???
I'm not a "hater" and i really loved "eternal sunshine"... but i think if you find in a general way a suicide attempt funny , maybe you will find this show funny... otherwise you could find it just... horribly sad , dramatically sordid . Jim Carrey incarnate a kind of inept Zombie PeeWee Hermann evolving amongst hideous character you can't possibly like or identify to, unless if you are, of course, an undertaker ... THAT'S IT !!! now i got it : that must be a comedy for undertakers ..
now i understand !!!
Mr. Pickles (2013)
JUST WEIRD AND SO WHAT
When you watch one single episode of this cartoon you might find it amusing; but after this, every episode looks exactly the same .In fact the show try so hard to be shocking that at the end it's not shocking at all..it's seems to be done by a 13 year old kid only for other 13 years old teens...maybe because the "shocking material" is always the same: gore, BDSM and satanism . Characters and plot have no dimension beyond gross cliché and believe me :one single second from South Park is more subversive than the entire season of this show
Louie: The Road: Part 2 (2015)
i'm really gonna miss Louie
I always watched Louis CK's show with a lot of pleasure and (sad) fun, considering his universe right between Woody Allen & David Lynch , and of course with his very intimate touch... but this particular episode ... it drove me absolutely crazy (in a VERY good way) .. it's so funny and yet so sad : i really hope in an eventual future , school department would show this flick to learn our kids what really is a "middle -age crisis" ! that last episode really touched me: it's written perfectly, yet so funny and so depressing at the same time and at the end so unique and so clever ..
i just can't stand that unordinary author won't be able to do his job anymore
American Horror Story: Afterbirth (2011)
Equally original and terribly scenarized
i don't understand people's reaction to that TV Show : no one seems to notice that in each episode of the first season , there is at least 5 or 6 scripts errors (except that user who reviewed each episode and seems to hate the show at first sight). The show is original and the idea of mixing every horror movie in one single season could be good, but jeez ,even if you demand the audience to respect fantasy and horror movies rules, please Mr Showmen RESPECT those rules. As watching the show i was always thinking "ok, if this one knows this, then he CAN't react like this) I found out why it's so annoying to watch: it's because characters are very poorly drew. If the script have them to act this way , they will, despite who they are ,and despite what they know about this House ,( who would have been abandoned or destroy for decades in real life) , it's not characters who will define the scripts and what happens, it's quite the contrary: that's why you always think: this can't happen. Hiring a house who is on a Tour of Horror without knowing it? Ben never heard about Betty Short? Violet read who is Tate on the web , and doesn't mind dating someone dead? well, there's million of little "oh-look-that-way-and-don't-consider-this" tricks offered by the scenarists all during the show that make us wonder if this is ironic or if they do want us scared or laughing. Too bad because sometime ,some scenes and ideas are really beautiful).
(PS: i REALLY don't get the WHY of the Jessica Lange characters ,what she represents and the scene with a lazy & ery naive LAPD are hilarious)
Spider Baby or, the Maddest Story Ever Told (1967)
fetishism and low culture
there is this thing i love about this movie.it's dumb as much as a drive-in movie can be, but the director draws for us so pretty pictures: two sisters who love murder and spiders a chauffeur who is in love with his dark adoption family a bitchy neutral character who turns into a fetish_model sex addict (god she's hot) some zombies in the basement some regular wasps who witness the action...
this is poetry: turning darkness into real cuteness...i think the leitmotiv of this movie is lon chaney who above all give his warm protection to all this lousy world.. i... i love this movie! and it's blah blah blah thing to fill all the empty space and then get to...oh my god ...ten lines ! just watch "spider baby" it rules
