      Ah yes because hearing about these people in daily life isn’t miserable enough I want my entertainment to be steeped in it.

      Scarlett is a great actor and I am looking forward to seeing her work with a demented film maker like AA. Synopsis sounds up my alley already.

      Why are people negative about this? Sounds like a topical story that can explore some nuances that many people lack

      Wish this was anyone but Scarlett. Feel like any possible social commentary falls flat with her as the face.

    5. I hated Eddington but loved Beau is Afraid so i’m conflicted until further notice

      from reading the description I said “it’s definitely a movie for A24” and then I went to the article to get the confirmation :)))

      Really soured on Scarlett Johansson ever since I found out she’s pro Israel and a Woody Allen supporter

      I will retain judgment until I see it because AA rarely misses but this sounds…. exhausting?

      “inspired by Erika Kirk and Logan Paul” is a surefire way to get me not to see this movie lol

    12. lol the comments
      Me, in 1976: I can’t with all this watergate stuff 🙄 gonna skip All the President’s Men

    13. Of course they cast her as a doctor. The sustained racism by typecasting asians as medical professional needs to stop, really. It’s not even subtle anymore

    14. just once again a reminder that art about bad people doesn’t make the artist a bad person

      media literacy includes deciphering a piece’s intention and moral message my guys, do we *really* think this is going to be pro-kirk and paul?

      Scrolled so fast, I thought Jake Paul himself was gonna be in the movie and I was like ????? bold choice, but ok.
