Am I the only person watching this show? It’s kino so far
>>221265107I've heard it's weird as hell, a departure from both film adoptions
>>221265107why does he look so metrosexualhes supposed to be a brutal schizo predator
>>221265137>>221265139He actually seems to have been innocent of the crime he was convicted of in this one
>>221265107Woke slop
TOO MUCH WOMANLY MELODRAMA.
>>221265107Apple TV I trust but javier bardem can't play a trashy ex con he's too foreign. Waingro from Heat would be the perfect guy for that role
Javier can't even wear a backpack with those shoulders.
>max Cady’s daughter with the prison nurses had lesbian sex with Max Cady’s secret daughter with Amy AdamsNever thought I’d see interracial incest lesbian sex in a tv show
>>221265107The end is going to be the evil woman killing the original villain and not getting in trouble for anything because she's a woman
>>221265107Episode 4 felt like the weakest.
>>221265484Jag SBARRO is the best part till now though
>>221266048I thought it was pretty strong but I’m enjoying the shitshow the kids are up to and max beinf a trollAny idea what kind of drug Parrocl Wilson is taking with that dropper?
>>221265107You're retarded
>>221266800Nah episodes 1-3 had an energy about them, 4 dragged, but I think it might have been Abilify, its a med for schizo's which is what I think Wilson and the son both have.
>>2212651071 fuck2 kill3 fuck4 marry5 kill
>max cady>but he's a zesty latinx involved in santeriawhat were they thinking
Why are the kids so dumb? Why were they written like that?
>>221266968Teenagers are retarded
>making a full-length miniseries version of a 224-page novel that already has two excellent adaptations considered to be some of the best horror movies ever, the first one being fatihful and the latter being experimental>not adapting the gritty crime series made by the same author into a seriesWhy the fuck is Hollywood adapting short things that have already been effectively adapted long and padded out while making long things that have never been adapted before overstuffed and abridged? They used to know how to do this stuff.
>>221265615only one is his daughter
>>221267222Do we really need to explain it to you?
>>221265107He's like a Cuban ex-con version of Bond Villain now. Why are int'l man of mystery in the suburbs, an anti-immigration adaptation? Amy looking worn out is great. She needs to do some Margot Channing.
>>221267222Dinero overacting with tattoos ain't experimental. It's just tryhard flailing before the greatness of Mitchum.
>>221267251kek this. watching the original vs bardem doing some 4-d chess move to (ostensibly) get the son to cut off and eat his toe is like night and day
>>221265107If a dog still dies in this one, I ain't watching. Sorry but I'm just not.
>>221267266>overacting with tattoos ain't experimentalThat's not what made it more experimental. It was the deliberate giallo influences from Scorsese's direction that made the film simultaneously more colorful and more graphic that distinguished it from the novel and the Mitchum version, which was the opposite and went in a more stark, high-contrast expressionist direction.Though I do agree that Mitchum was the superior Cady. Nobody can ever do evil like Mitchum as much as De Niro's version is iconic and different.
>>221265107Man, those people look fucking old. Like theyre in their 60's. Is the adrenochrome stock that low on Hollywood?
>>221265484>Apple TV I trust Lmao why? Everything they make is atrocious
>>221267409>Is the adrenochrome stock that low on HollywoodNo it's just that the people running the industry would literally rather die than let new people and ideas in, Boomerism run amok
I tried to watch this but it just isn't convincing or interesting.I should take note of who directed the pilot so I never stumble into anything they made again.
>>221266953>>max cady>>zestyIn all fairness both versions of him implied that dimension of his character as a result of his prison time. Hell the De Niro version even had him have a copy of the zestiest Miami Vice villain's book on his shelf.
>>221267230Nah the daughter is heavily implied to Cady’s daughter>Amy Adams got pregnant from “Paul” her ex husband in the middle of the very long trial of Max Cady where she represented max>we know her and max had a sexual relationship in the past, with max specifically telling her he never revealed their secret to anyone>Cady also easily seduced a prison nurse and knocked her up had so he just has that charisma >amy Adams and Patrick Wilson panick about whether Cady will “find out what they did”Seems like Adams realised the baby was Cady’s and was scared because he killed his pregnant wife before so she conspired with the prosecutor to get him convicted.She kind of has to play along that she didn’t do anything wrong now or he may realise why she didn’t it to begin with. Although he probably already knows
>>221268464Damn Amy Adams character is a slut....
>>221265107It's a show for women like all modern tv shows
I've watched them all but there's something really weird about the way it's shot. Like it's by a director who hasn't been trained how to shoot faces before who has just been given a hi-res digital camera and told to jump to it. I haven't watched many new series this decade so maybe they're all like that now.
>>221269336How do you shoot faces?
>>221269471As in picrel
>>221265107Judging from the pic, it looks like shit visually. Like the director of photography just followed one of those YouTube "how to make your movie look cinematic" tutorials.
>>221269507So you're referring to lazy lighting work and modern reliance on digital postprocessing?
>>221265107Yeah it's been ok so far, but both of the kids are fucking retards and they annoy me.
>>221268464>amy Adams and Patrick Wilson panick about whether Cady will “find out what they did”Quite sure they're implying she fucked him over during the trial because she thought he was guilty
>>221265139>>221265139Let them cook, unc!
>>221265484Waingro was locked up.for a few years in prison, unclear if he is out and working.
>>221269814That was just a few years in early 2000s, he's done some work since. But he's also almost 70 now and way too old for the role.
>>221268989Hot! But not hot enough. Also, very reckless and disrespectful to do it in front of everyone. Jeez, go into the bushes or a room.
>>221268989we need more of this in the show. less of that retard son
>>221269834Fuck that! He needs to do Kane and Lynch! Now! I had no idea he was that age. Godspeed, waingro.
>>221269849I have lesbian fatigue.They put a couple in almost every show.
>>221270230are her lips infected or smth?
>>221265139He was raped in prison, which turned him into a fag. It’s already explained in the De Niro movie
>>221271671I have no clue, they made sure to hire ugly actresses for some reason.
>>221271828That's just realistic, most lesbians irl are ugly as hell.
>>221265107People talk a lot of shit about stars like Faye Dunaway who walk around sets with mirrors to check the lighting, but Amy Adams looks like shit here. It doesn’t just make her look old, it even makes her hair look dry. But look at the men. This is not the equality women wanted. And she should have that lighting designer’s head on a platter.
>>221268989Why do you trannies fetishize dykes so much?
>>221268989this is more erotic than post-metoo sex scenes
>>221265107Gigachad Counselor looks like he could easily rape 60yo twink Cady. How do they make it work? I think King Orm is a terrible casting. Too fucking big to be scared by a gay manlet
I'm surprised at how quickly i dropped this, I didn't even last one episode.It's so unconvincing and uninteresting.
>>221270230Also this, post-COVID Hollywood turned me off lesbians permanently, even "hot" ones. Very Boomer-coded fetish.
>>221272845she walled. hwood does a bad job at casting. amy should be playing mother or aunt roles. i don't know what she's playing in this show but i don't care enough to check.
>>221274320She is playing a mother role, it just happens to be the lead role.
>>221265107they are too old to play those characters, i haven't read the book, but in 1991 movie every single main character was younger, De Niro was 48 while Bardem is 57, Jessica Lange aka the wife was 42 while Amy Adams is 51, Nick Nolte was 50 while Patrick Wilson is 52, the daughter was played by Juliette Lewis and she was 18, the new one is 21
>>221274429>the new one is 21She looks at least 30.
>>221272845They're lighting in an upward direction from below the face, this is a standard horror movie lighting that makes a person look scary or ghoulish. It's similar to kids holding a flashlight under their face to tell ghost stories.Not sure why they made that choice here, it should be easy to fix.
