Just watched Bugonia finally. Pretty great film, going in blind made it so much more enjoyable, but I about lost my fucking shit when Stavros showed up
>>220763191FatNot funny
>>220763250Pretty decent performance though, no?
Whoever the director is did good shots and the slowness to fast pace at different times was well done. I say it's kino. She had a good performance. All main cast did
>>220763380Yorgos is a legitimately fantastic director. You should check out Dogtooth and Killing of a Sacred Deer.
The ending ruined an otherwise good movie
>>220763191I don't know who this guy is and I assumed he must be Dennis Franz's son when I saw him.
>>220763407it was perfect. the best part is it couldve gone either way up to that ending.
>>220763407It was actually pure unfiltered fucking kino and those final shots with that song playing were amazing. That ending took balls
>>220763267he is perfectly suited to play a dumbass cop who molested some kid in the past
>>220763407so you wanted her not to be an alien? That would have made the movie so much more boring and predictable. then its just about two losers who kidnap a lady because of a made up conspiracy. that shit would have been disappointing as hell
The autistic actor was surprisingly great, brutal ending to him though
>>220763404the favourite is also pretty good
>>220763561it should have ended with a flash of light in the closet. not a whole stupid retarded scene with other aliens
>>220763191How much longer is he going to live?
ah yes iconic Stavros. I definitely know who that is
>>220763630so you wanted a soulless, ambiguous ending cop out? fuck that
>>220763535He naturally has molester energy, very believable
>>220763694The sick fuck was getting dopamine reliving what he did in chuds house
>>220763647probably will die in his 40's. hes been very fat since childhood, does drugs all the time and broke his arm recently. massive heart attack coming eventually
>>220763191i liked it more than i thought i would. from the previews it looked like she got brainwashed or whatever. the movie itself was alright, however i thought the twist ending where she really was an alien was both kinda hack and cheapened it. 6/10
>>220763191So, did he rape the Jesse Plemons character when they were younger? or was it just standard bullying. I couldn't tell what the movie was going for, and their conversations were weird as shit.
>>220763660hes a roundie, redditoid types seethed at the flat earth ending
This is an English-speaking adaptation of a Korean propaganda movie.
>>220764041I didn't know that until after watching Bugonia. original movie probably sucks
>>220763191>I about lost my fucking shit when Stavros showed up*Some random fat mutt in a movie.*Americans: Holy shit, is that Stinkflap?!
OG chink version mogs this greekslop
>>220764105It does. Very cheesy and far less well shot and acted. It's more the groundwork and inspiration to Bugonia than a remake
>>220764147>>220764155I cant tell which is telling the truth
>>220764155They should have got the cinematographer from Rust.Very well shot.
>>220764105Nah Bugonia is too pussy to actually torture Emma Stone.
>>220763191Is it better than the Korean original
>>220763191sorry for raping you bro
>>220764289Never saw anyone talking about it even in gook threads.
>>220764183original is funnier in a more slapstick way, more gruesome too with the torture scenes and the lead actor who's supposed to be the captured alien gives a better performance (I'm sorry best Emma).Yorgos version gets it's humor more from dialogue, it's shot better and the kidnapper, Plemdawg, gives a better performance than his korean counterpart. He was snubbed at award season. Both movies are 3/5 and this is the weakest of the Emma/Yorgos collabs.
Good premise bad execution.Everything is suddenly revealed and explained, nothing to think back on from earlier scenes.
>>220764381Agree. They also spent zero time endearing any of the characters to the audience. I had no reason to root for anyone. I know ambiguity was supposed to be the point, but I just didn’t care about anyone. The film lacked heart.
>>220764460The only innocent character in the entire film is Don and he is punished for it in every way
>>220763910He used to babysit Plemon’s character and the implication was that he did molest him
>But the breakfast?
>>220765221When he gave Jesse Plemons character the thousand island stare, I thought of this.
"I just don't think 6 million is a reasonable number..." - Stavros, 2018
>>220763433
>>220765359
>>220763191>Yo, I love being greek and doing crowdwork
>>220763850That gives him something for the rest of his (brief) life. Remember how he milked hurting his knee?
>>220763191Besides the spaceship set looking like some hippy commune on lsd, it was pretty good
>>220766703he gets injured so fucking easily. I think another time he fucked up his foot playing basketball for 3 minutes
>>220766773Don't forget about the fight with his dad anon.
>>220763191>plemons is right about aliens infiltrating his world >plemons is right about something fucking the natural world >plemons also suffered abuse and horrific tragedy >punish all mankind for his natural assumption that foreign invaders masquerading as human beings and infiltrating large economic and political institutions might not have humanity’s best interests at heart Emma could’ve just told him the truth from the beginning.
>>220763191Oh hey, it's Nick Mullen's laughtrack.
report eceleb threads as off topic
>>220763191Stavros and Adam going humiliation ritual for humiliation ritual rn
>>220763191i knew that bitch was an alien when they showed her morning routine
>>220767123If thats what you call being much more successful then current nick is
>>220763191Garbage director makes garbage movies
>>220764333Original released in 2003 and got buried by Oldboy, Memoirs of a killer, Silmido and more.Not even gooks watched it because it was marketed as a shitty "retro" comedy movie.
>>220764485Don’s death made me want to cry, it’s so hard for me to watch the disabled suffer, it fucks me up. Everything leading up in those final 2 minutes made my gut churn, that poor fucking boy, his brother definitely made him chop up all those people too, fuck it is the most upsetting shit.
>>220764289No. Not even close.
>>220767135>One of your friends becomes an accomplished radio show host, standup and actor>The other goes on to become unironically one of the most prolific interviewers I’ve ever seen>Nick is just in the fucking voidFeels like it shouldn’t have been Nick getting shafted, but hey, it’s harder to sink much lower than shitting yourself and being yelled at like a dog, so hey, good for Adam. Good on Stav. Hopefully one of these days Nick finds a sugardaddy or something.
>>220767135Not a fan of cumtown, but any time I've listened to clips it's always Nick talking the jewish guy making some monotone banal observation and the fat guy annoyingly laughing, constantly annoyingly laughing. I've see his standup, it's not funny. ...so why is he famous?
>>220763630MUH AMBIGUOUS ENDING
>>220764183I think new one is better but it's very safe>>220764354pretty much this
>>220767344>4 noms>0 hardwareFuck man
>>220767265Because stav and adam play the game better. way less talented then nick is, but he also does amazing career self sabotage to himself constantly
Did anyone else notice the woman from a Jamaican restaurant from Kitchen Nightmares also in the movie? The most random ass casting I’ve ever seen and I have nobody to share it with
>>220767417Huge info for people like my wife
>>220763647longer than nick mullen thats for sure
>>220767708>comedian nick mullen was found dead in his garage today, trapped in the springs of a trampoline due to a freak gymnastics attempt
>>220763191The end was obvious and I hate the director because someone higher up attacked him for making a movie that humanizes conspiracy theorists and he ran damage control promoting this movie shit talking conspiracy theorists
>>220763437>it was perfect. the best part is it couldve gone either way up to that ending.I am pretty sure the jig was up once she saw all the dead aliens in his basement
>>220767292flash of light and her vanishing is not ambiguous at all smooth brain
>>220767859>movie was bad because he made fun of cool ass, non retarded conspiracy guys like me
>>220767933You must be ESL if that was your takeaway and not a director being a coward about his artistic vision
>>220767933When They want you to believe the conspiracy theory they call it collusion. When They want you to believe in the UFO they call it a UAP.
conspiracy faggots have always and will always be the butt of the joke. cope
>>220767859If you thought the end was obvious its because you went in with that notion. Watching blind the real nature of Emma's character is very up in the air until the scene where they get to her office near the end.
>>220768207I thought the end was obvious because it's 2026 and I understand the cultural zeitgeist, how dumb your average movie goer is and the slop your average studio makes. People would not be able to handle a "he really was insane the entire time" non ambiguous ending
>>220768085This. The tinfoil hat did irreparable damage forever. Also politicians who have made careers off of spreading misery and death abroad and domestically while eating and raping children isn’t a conspiracy, it’s the natural endpoint of this shit.
Take Shelter did it better.
>>220768359Take shelter was boring as hell, and never explains what the fuck is happening or why we should care.
How did Plemons not get the Oscar for this performance?
>>220767255Damn that some hard damage control there buddy.Stavvy shitting on Rogan every week, while doing the exact same podslop as everybody else, is pretty fucking gay. He just openly and unconditionally panders to extreme leftist idelogy, might as well be fucking Colbert with the fucking Vaxx dance.And the bug is jewish, and is propped up by other jews.That being said, they both get the crumbling leftovers of old media, as sloppy seconds, as a "career".Unles you want to s o y pog with Niel Degayass Tidepod, about hecking science of course. That's very cool. Very cool and Reddit.Nick was the only talent in that trashheap, and pretty much ran out of material once he got sober. You can't play the angry young man anyomre, when you're rich, and not angry nor young. He bailed like Joji, and didn't crawl on his knees to do unconditional fag and nigger propaganda like bug and fatty, because his main appeal was in holding far less hostages, and very boldly calling out double standards.
>>220763910Its left intentionally vague but its pretty implied he touched him or tortured him somehow.
>>220768418it's not his time yet
>>220768418movie wasnt that popular I guess
>>220763267>Pretty decent performance though, no?do people actually say the "no?" after statements in real life?
>>220768431all of that is fine, but adam and stav are born sellouts and theyre fine with that. they would much rather have money then talent
>>220768559It's an Adam Friendland thing. He says it constantly in TAFS.
>>220768559Yes, I performed a study and the results were overwhelming.
>>220768586oh that's right he does do that but i see a suspicious amount of people doing it online
>>220764289No. Clear case of soul vs soulless
>>220768594can you do a study on sterilizing people who do it to see if they still do it after sterilization?
>>220763191Movie sucked total ass was tonally all over the place, is it horror? Comedy? Sci-fi? Political? It never settled on anything and completely failed at balancing horror and comedy. The acting is fine and the cinematography is good, aesthetics are there but the tone being so mishandled makes it dogshit and the crazy out of place score definitely made it feel even more inconsistent. 2/5
>>220768609I do it sometimes in order to make fun of him.
>>220767087>eceleb>guy who was in an oscar nominated filmI understand what you mean, and obviously there will be guys talking about cumtown for years yet, but Stavros has absolutely broken into the mainstream, he's on Netflix and he's slated to appear in at least 2 more films that are going to see major theatrical release
>>220768666666 confirms that it's gay and jewish
>>220768641Also to add the last 10 minutes is the most hamfisted shit ever, I paused it to see how long it went on for and then just turned it off yes we get it you dumb retard you are not artistic in showing corpses in every earthly setting imaginable.
>>220768404>never explains what the fuck is happening Pretty straightforward.>or why we should care.Because Shannon gave an amazing performance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey1Z0VhAQdA
>>220768671>It's slated for March
>>220767255>most prolifiche's had a handful of impressive gets, but he's been at it for less than a year and every now and he's a wildly inconsistent interviewer. Its rare he gets an interesting reaction out of someone, they mostly talk over him
>>220768719what?
>>220763267not really. he didn't really act any differently than he normally does
>>220768692What is the piss rain why is it bad? was there any fallout from it other than him being right about the coming storm? I like Michael Shannon too but that movie was boring and pointless.
>>220763250you know, he is pretty fat. people dont talk about that enough
>>220763250>what is physical comedy
>>220768671he’s being given cameos because he’s an eceleb. Thus cementing his eceleb status.
>>220767708I’d be monstrously depressed too if I had Mullen’s ultra-cringe fanbase
>>220763191This is a Bug (2007) ripoff and absolute dogshit at that. Go kys.
>>220763647hopefully he gets a bad batch of coke soon
>>220769664plus nick is only 5'2
>>220763191retarded mechanical turk
for real though, fuck albanian scum
>>220769692>>220763191I've spent the past year or so ignoring bugonia hype because I'm not interested in dystopian conspiracy movies made after 2014.I have no doubt your movie is better than this one, but I love Stavros Halkias. Is he in the movie long enough for it to be worth watching? Or should I just skip to his one scene in the whole movie?
>>220763191He really had to dig deep to play a fat pedophile who couldn't read the room.
>>220763630>>220763407Thank god you retards don’t make movies
>>220763191>Time wasting post>Lust provoking image
>>220768594I challenge your study with my own findings.
>>220766874Yeah, if Yorgos and Tracy think that the aliens are right in the end, they are too detached from real life. I get the sense that they think the ending is a happy one though.I saw so much humanity in Teddy, even when he was at his darkest, and I think it is all due to Plemons giving a god tier performance. Plemons is the reason I love this movie.
I do think it is interesting that both Teddy and Don essentially kill themselves after being allowed onto the alien ship. I don't know what it means, but it means something.
>>220763510Went on way too long and no particularly good shots in the montage
>>220763191why are cops always fat in movies? in real life theres no fat cops you gotta pass a physical fitness test
>>220771636>you gotta pass a physical fitness test
>>220763191I actually like Stavvy as an actor and I think he’s done a great job in Tires too. He is naturally good at it where some comedians can’t get over themselves and just joke around all the time. >>220768559Yes it’s a call to action for a response basically.
>>220763404the idiots he picks to do the scores absolutely ruin his movies.
>>220771636nopemy father had run ins with the lawOne time he was running from a very fat copThe cop ended up tripping during the pursuit and sued my father for indirectly hurting his fat kankle
>>220771520This, I was rooting for his character the entire time. He almost saved the human race bros...
>>220763191>stav plays a cop>cops are often referred to as pigsStav is secretly a pig confirmed.
not sure how you can know who Stavros is and not know he was in this movie, you either don't know who the guy is or if you do you'd know he was in a big best picture movie. Anyways it was pretty good meth damon has become one of the better modern actors like Walton Goggins
I like Stavros and I like this movie.
Stav won
>>220763191Explain
There used to be a website where people would bet on when Artie Lange would die. Someone should make one for Nick Mullen.
BBC Cum Town!!!
>>220770076He's in a few scenes, but not enough to be the sole reason to watch it.
>>220764354how is Poor Thing a better let alone a "good" movie
>>220771636Maybe to become a cop initially, but once you're in, the union makes it nearly impossible to get fired. If you've never seen a fat cop, you haven't been paying attention.
>>220768671faggot is probably the same guy that says smiling friends is off topic when its on /tv
>>220772309NTA, but I knew who Stavros is because I'd listened to a handful of cumtown episodes on youtube (I found them because I was watching a lot of people who dunked on Steven Seagal) , but I don't follow his or anyone else's career from that show. I had no idea he was going to be in Bugonia until I was watching it and he popped up on screen. >meth damon has become one of the better modern actorsI seem to be in the minority of people who are unimpressed with his acting. He always seems like he's just reciting lines...I never get the impression that he's embodying any sort of character. Maybe that's because he tends to play emotionally detached psychos, but I've just never seen a performance that I thought was particularly noteworthy.
>>220767196I cheered when he offed himself, maybe you should do the same
>>220768671>Stavros has absolutely broken into the mainstreamNot really. He's more notable now than he was when he was only known for being on cumtown and for doing standup nobody saw in NYC, but knowing him by name is still going to be a niche thing. Your mom isn't going to know who Stavros Halkias is by name, nor will the majority of random people you stop on the street. He's at the level of most bit part actors where in a few years people might think "isn't that the fat cop from Bugonia?" It's like Octavia Spencer before she was a main character on The Help. She was a featured extra in tons of movies so people would think, "isn't that the lady who told Peter Parker he was going to get his ass kicked trying to wrestle Macho Man Randy Savage?...and wasn't she the chick who showed John Cusack how to find the 7 1/2 floor on Being John Malkovich" but if you talked about the new film Octavia Spencer was going to be in, nobody would have any fucking idea who you were talking about. They may not remember even if you pointed out the small part she played in a film they actually saw.
greek solidarity
>>220763250Very true. He works well as secondary parts in shit like this and Tires though.He is entirely useless on his own comedically though.
>>220763267It was a horrible nonsense performance
>>220763267It was fine for the part being so small, but it sounded like he was just giving a lackadaisical read of his lines.
So did /tv/ like the movie or not?
>>220773635No
>>22076364767 years
>>220773635I tapped out when they abducted the woman. I was getting too many jewish vibes from this movie.
>>220768641>>220768688Are you officially diagnosed by any chance?
>>220772700what's his first appearance 30 minutes in?
>>220768845thats what they hired him for
>>220772257Same.
>>220773635Yeah, this and Eddington are /tv/ approved.
If everyone who posts in these shitty unfnny communist reddit retard threads was instantly killed, /tv/ would be a much better place.
Isn't this fat fuck friends with that subhuman hasan piker?LMFAO
