The Substance, written and directed by Coralie Fargeat, stars Demi Moore as Elizabeth Sparkle, a once-famous actress past her prime. Her sleazy producer, played perfectly by Dennis Quaid, is looking to replace her since she’s over 50. Enter the mysterious “substance,” which seems to be in a shady testing phase. I appreciate that the movie doesn't explain where it came from or how it works. After taking it, Elizabeth’s younger self hatches out of her in a very Cronenberg-like body horror sequence. At first, I thought, "Okay, this is the body horror everyone’s been talking about." Little did I know that was just the beginning. Here’s the intriguing part: Elizabeth gets to live as her younger self, Sue (played by Margaret Qualley), for seven days, and then reverts to her older self for another seven days. The balance must be maintained, or chaos ensues. The concept could have easily been confusing, but the movie explains it so well. Sue’s world is a seductive, superficial version of reality, full of fame and physical allure, while Elizabeth struggles with the weight of aging and past glory. The film asks: can this balance be maintained, or will it crumble? The movie is a wild ride, but also an interesting one. It’s the kind of film that different people will interpret in unique ways. Watch it with a friend, or even reflect on it as both your younger and older selves, and you’ll come away with entirely different perspectives. I love finding parallels to the seven deadly sins, and I noticed gluttony, sloth, and envy battling greed, wrath, lust, and pride in this movie. What really stood out to me was how The Substance explores the idea of identity and self-worth being tied to something that society can suddenly take away. The movie uses the entertainment industry to tell that story, but it’s a theme that resonates even more now in the age of Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, where youth and fame are fleeting. As Elizabeth, Demi Moore represents the foundation, the original, while Sue starts to have fun with the new life, raising questions about whether the past version of herself was merely wasted time. That mindset, of course, is dangerous, and that’s part of what makes the movie so compelling. It touches on themes of hubris, addiction, and self-delusion. Interestingly, Sue doesn’t get to relive her true glory days—she ends up doing workout videos, just like at the end of her career. It’s a lie, an illusion, to think you can simply go back. Both Moore and Qualley deliver excellent performances, and there’s already talk of Oscar buzz, which I think is well deserved. By the final act, the body horror really ramps up—it’s like Requiem for a Dream meets The Fly meets Dead Alive. It gets intense, maybe a little too much for me, but it’s hard to deny how memorable the experience was. In conclusion, I really enjoyed The Substance. It’s a unique film with a strong story wrapped in hyper-reality. The body horror goes a bit overboard for my tastes by the end, but this is definitely one of the more unforgettable films of 2024. It's worth checking out—and maybe even worth picking up on VHS if you're into that vibe.

Alright, as some of you might know, I’m a huge Joker fan. I just saw something new, so, in the words of another iconic Joker: "And here we go..." Todd Phillips, the writer-director who gave us the Joker movie with Joaquin Phoenix, is back with a sequel. Even though the original was supposed to be a one-off, when your film becomes the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, well, more zeros tend to get added to paychecks, and a sequel becomes inevitable. So, after the events of the first film, we find Arthur Fleck wasting away in a grim version of Arkham Asylum. He meets a super fan/stalker, and things get weird—cue the musical numbers. Yes, there are musical sequences, and now we have a film that's really hard to describe because it feels all over the place. Let’s start with the good: visually, the movie looks stunning. The lighting, production design, and cinematography are top-notch, with more than a few impressive tracking shots that pull you into the world. Even the musical numbers, which have no real reason to be here, are visually striking. And, of course, Joaquin Phoenix delivers another incredible performance. He could have easily phoned it in, but you can tell he’s fully committed, just like in the first film. The contrast between how he plays Arthur and how he plays Joker is stark—Joker is brimming with confidence, which is a key aspect of the plot. The movie’s focus revolves around his defense attorney trying to argue that Arthur Fleck and Joker are two separate personalities. Lady Gaga is also fantastic, with her character—this obsessed super fan—being central to the movie. Her fairy-tale fantasy of being with her murderous celebrity crush drives a lot of the plot. But here’s the elephant in the room: the musical numbers. At first, I thought, "Okay, maybe I can roll with this." It kind of makes sense in a weird way since they meet in some sort of singing therapy group. But after a while, it feels like the musical numbers are only in here because Lady Gaga is in the movie, like she has a clause in her contract that requires her to sing. Honestly, the movie would have been better without them. Sometimes they served a purpose, but most of the time, they just distracted from the already slow and choppy pacing. The movie feels like two different films awkwardly mashed together. The first half is Arthur’s time in Arkham, while the second half is a courtroom drama. And I’m using the word "drama" generously here. "Joker: Folie à Deux" doesn’t have the same focus as the first film, and it feels like Arthur Fleck has regressed as a character. Instead of building on Joker’s newfound confidence, Arthur is back to being a broken man, gaining confidence only through his relationship with his stalker-turned-girlfriend. There are a few standout moments—one courtroom scene, in particular, is incredibly powerful. But for the most part, the courtroom segments just rehash what we already know from the first movie. Some of it is so conveniently placed that it’s obvious it's just there for exposition. To sum it up, if you had doubts about "Joker: Folie à Deux," those doubts are probably justified. This feels like a classic Todd Phillips sequel—much like "The Hangover Part II" was to "The Hangover." It may be painted in Joker's colors, but watching it was about as exciting as watching paint dry. I’ve already forgotten most of it, and it’s only been a day.

nice action scenes and thats about it

So, this is a hospital show that is entirely composed of Tik-Tok stars acting alongside some people that they found on Fiverr, it's called Attaway General I'm always blown away by how talented Tik-Tok stars are and this sets sets a whole new level that I didn't even think was evil this is like quantum talentness. SEVERE SEX AND NUDITY Completely Crass and vulgar show. Not for people under 18. Every episode ends in a 5 minute orgy Dixie gives a bj at the beginning of every show SEVERE VIOLENCE & GORE There's a lot of blood and gore. There are many scenes of violence A boy gets an arrow in the leg and another boy is in a bus crash. Nothing major. There is a scene showing a nurse accidentally plunging a screwdriver into a patient's face. Very gory. Dixie D'amelio's character takes dying patients from the ICU to the supply room. It is heavily implied she abuses them, very disturbing. Dixie D'amelio is seen beating children within an inch of their lives and leaving them until another nurse finds them. It's too late for them, This show is EXTREMELY graphic. Bones get crushed, there is cannibalism, all on screen. There is also finger slicing and heads exploding with gallons upon gallons of blood. It's the violence of Game Of Thrones taken to the absolute next level. This show is on crack A guy watches Quandale Dingle Getting stabbed multiple times and the guy stands there and doesn't help. Incredibly Disturbing And Disgusting because Quandale's Injuries looks real and might frighten the viewer. SEVERE PROFANITY People especially Dixie saying the n word casually. Words like "wiener" "nuts" "butt" and "fu*kass" are said. Easily has more languages than Swearnet. The teens watch an f bomb compilation of swearnet the movie. Later recreating the entire movie. Ends up having the most swears in tv series with 486294 swear words in the entire series SEVERE ALCOHOL, DRUGS & SMOKING All the kids in the show vape and smoke weed and it's shown without any censoring. There is heavy drug use and alcohol abuse. Dixie D'amelio's character develops a severe heroin addiction and dies SEVERE FRIGHTENING & INTENSE SCENES Fake medical scenes - not just blood. One of the teen doctors shoot a dog at full blank range because they couldn't euthanize it correctly. While a patient is getting lasik eye surgery the lasers become too strong and melt his eyeballs. There is an extremely disturbing scene in the episode sponsored by Dr Pepper in which Dixie pours copious amounts of Dr Pepper into a patients IV drip. It is later revealed that the patient has diabetes and is found dead. The scene also includes Dixie laughing at a child with severe burns. The only other scary thing is watching the show. Graphic killings throughout the show. Not for the faint of heart RAPE IS SHOWN EVERY EPISODE AND THE VICTIM IS THE AUDIENCE.
