Succession is great and Vice had its moments. Anchorman/Talladega Nights and all that shit is puerile crap. As someone who worked in a bulge bracket bank through and after 2008, The Big Short was The Crash for (test) dummies but kind of hit the broad strokes and panicked mania of that time. Margin Call was way more realistic though.

This current season fucki g blows. I tapped out weeks ago. I get that they want to make this a critique of the Murdochs, but when Kendall started talking about how the network is "destroying democracy," I bailed.
I disagree. It had a dip for one episode (UTI one) but has otherwise been great. Why would that bother you when Kendall is more or less consistently portrayed as a loser who's completely out of his depth. The weird banter between Tom and Greg, Roman's faggotry and Shiv's ever expanding ass is enough to keep me watching. And Logan is the best.

That shit is too on the nose when they make comments like that. And the other story lines/banter has gotten redundant. It like they're trying to be a snooty It's Always Sunny
Fair enough. I still enjoy it, you don't. Different strokes

I keep thinking the Kendall character is too over the top but then I see someone like Jack Dorsey talking and the character might be spot on.

He's Lachlan Murdoch with a drug problem. A guy who would be lucky to be selling advertising space or rental cars if he wasn't born as the son of a Master of the Universe, a once in a generation psychopathic billionaire overlord.

Every actor on that show is great but the guy who plays Kendall, his acting at the end of the last episode of season 1, when his own father is literally blackmailing him over a dead body, is some of the best acting I've seen anywhere in anything.

He was perfectly cast. It's great seeing him switch gears in his head. Going from being delusional and oblivious to moments of realization that he then has to bluff his way through. Every decision and reaction feels so contrived but with just enough awkward humanity you don't dismiss his character entirely. If he put on a bunch of weight he could play a perfect Patrick Tomlinson.

Been watching Succession since the first week it came out. This season is a bore fest and it feels like they’re just dragging their feet because they don’t want to kill off Brian Cox yet.

Can't wait to see the movie made about hedge funds crashing and burning from over-leveraged short positions, potentially brining the whole market down with them.

McKay and his crew are the most overrated group of faggots since Apatows. The Big Short is the only thing I liked and i'll say it...the book was better. So fuck him and Leo's bullshit enviromental "causes" that are just used as cover so he doesn't get asked about his crazy personal life.

The internet chatter is that he's gay and his long term partner is Lukas Haas and the younger models are employed on 2 year contracts, but my sister's good friend is an agent in the London office of a big Hollywood agency and he told me DiCaprio is basically Patrick Bateman minus the murder.

Said when he was in London he hooked Leo up with a high class escort on the company payroll. She apparently had to sign an NDA and was then told to strip and get on all fours on the bed. A while later, DiCaprio walked into the room naked except for sneakers and AirPods. He didn't say a word to her, just fucked her doggy style while listening to his music or whatever, finished and left the room.

Don't know if it's bullshit or not but this friend of my sister's is a gay guy so if DiCaprio was too you'd think he'd be happy to count him as a member of the team. And I don't know him very well but he doesn't seem like a bullshitter, at least not that much considering his job.

I knew this guy in Genesis once. Let's call him... Way Rilson.
