That's awesome! 😂 I freaking LOVE Bjork! Can't wait to see it.👍

I said the same thing but for Blondie instead of Bjork

@@rudeboyspodcast Blondie was here before Bjork, both awesome!

Sounds like a recc to me!

I once commented in a YT thread that I had seen PJ Harvey quite by chance on a specific tour. Out of the blue Bjork jumped on and it seems we had seen her on the same tour. So we had a lengthy conversation on musical matters, just generally a lovely lady

Emma's got an old Hollywood quality about her in the way she carries herself that's so different from her peers; witty, charming and gracious. It's wonderful to see how much she's evolved as an actress in the past few years and I hope she continues to take on challenging roles that show how fearless & captivating she is as a performer.

:) My favourite version of her is her grumpy face "Maniac" character...

@lnrdo Wow. The next time she runs out of toilet paper, maybe you could step in to help.

I agree

@@sratus Wouldn't mind stepping in to deliver a few packs of Charmin to her door if it meant I'd be able to say a few nice words of appreciation about her work to her in person. Great idea 👍. Sorry to see my initial comment struck you as fawning but glad it gave you the opportunity to get that little hit of troll dopamine you're here for, I guess.

In a word, yes! She absolutely had me in stitches and gave such a great performance in 'the Favourite' too.

@@sevenprovinces Her performances in Lanthimos movies are cinematic gold!

And maybe her THIRD one as a producer , too ! At only 35 . Perfection in a woman's body shape

not if the academy picks Diversity over the best performance, like they did last year.

as good as her performance was....Lily Gladstone.

THAT was Mark Ruffalo!?!? Amazing.

Wowww I didn’t recognize him, his look or his voice.

Being a magnificent actor, he does a superb work as a supporting role here. Meaning, he acts to serve the lead character who happens to be Bella, nevertheless he finds ways to shine and not overshadow Emma's work. That's pure cinematic magic!

@@popboy0 It's a fantastic movie. I haven't seen a lot of the other Best Picture nominees, but it's a serious contender no matter what it's up against, as is her performance. And Ruffalo's. Fearless work.

@@serendipityshopnyc For what reason exactly? For normalizing sex with toddlers and prostitution? Well hollywood is full of pedophiles so that wouldn't really surprise me..

Love your comment, I see things exactly like that ❤

Well the focus seemed to be on the anticlimatic normalization of prostitution. With ugly people.

Fabulous. Thanks ❤😊

Yeah totally not about the pedophilia or anything.

Depth? A cbild having sec with men over and over and over again? Depth for paedophiles, sure, but here’s the analysis: “We must work. We must make money. But more than that, we must experience everything. Not just the good, but degradation, horror, and sadness. This makes us whole, Bella. It makes us people of substance, not flighty, untouched children. When we know the world, the world is ours. Now, go and f*ck someone.” This quote sums up the movie’s core message, and there is much to unpack. First, what’s wrong with “untouched children”? They’re supposed to be untouched. This movie DOES NOT like children. Second, this quote reflects the dualistic worldview of the occult elite, where it is believed that the bad, the evil, and the horrific are of equal value as the pure, the good, and the godly. It is by uniting the two that a person becomes “illuminated.” Finally, the madame probably doesn’t even believe in what she’s saying. She wants Bella to do degrading things so she can profit from her - the same way the elite wants us to believe in their indoctrination so they can profit from us. The movie makes sure we see Bella being degraded in every way possible. Also, simultaneously, the viewers are watching actress Emma Stone being degraded as well. The movie’s insistence on depicting sex scenes involving the actress takes on a ritualistic dimension where she’s being initiated through humiliation. One of her clients is an older, rather gross butcher who smells awful. After the encounter, Bella says that the sex was “brutal in a strangely not unpleasant way.” Bella (and Emma Stone) gets humped on by this guy while the audience is treated with full frontal nudity. Apparently, that’s what you need to do to win an Oscar nowadays. In another scene, a father has sex with Bella in front of his children for “education.” While doing it, Bella gives sex advice to the boys who sit there and watch. More sexualization of children. Also, Bella discovers that she’s bisexual. Of course. Bella’s girlfriend is a socialist. She tells Bella that a socialist is “someone who wants to change the world for the better.” To which Bella instantly replies: “Then I am that too.” The movie’s unabashed promotion of a specific political current is odd but unsurprising. Poor Things is not mere entertainment; it is creative indoctrination. In case you didn’t notice, the elite has been hard at work trying to create a socialist world government. They want us to associate the word socialist with “changing the world for the better.” If the movie had promoted any other political current, the movie would have been shunned. So, Bella reflects what the elite want women to be. However, her actions cause Duncan to lose his mind completely. Duncan ends up in the looney bin. While Bella is the creation of a man dubbed God, Duncan sees in her the exact opposite: “He has sent a demon at a large into the world. The devil wrapped in an alluring body that cannot be satieted and a mind that picks people apart stitch by stitch like a bloodied and burned rag doll shat out of an elephant’s arse.” While the “demon” is at large, her creator is dying. God is Dead When Bella learns that God is dying of cancer, she leaves Paris and travels back to London. The fact that God dies in the movie is symbolic as, in the elite’s philosophy, men are gods. In London, Bella reconnects with Max, with whom she was engaged before she left. Bella asks Max if “the whoring thing challenges the desire for ownership that men have.” Again, her being a prostitute is framed as some feminist power move that goes against the desire of men to own women. Max says he’s okay with it because it’s “her body.” Although they get married in a church, the black-and-white pattern inside of it indicates that this is actually about the occult elite’s dualistic “religion.” After God’s death, Bella takes over as the mad scientist. In the final scene, everything ends perfectly according to the elite’s vision for humanity. Bella lives with her socialist lesbian lover. Bella placed the brain of a goat into the head of her mother’s controlling husband. This man is technically Bella’s father. But not anymore. He’s a goat now. The movie ends with a shot of Bella reading. She is now an accomplished socialist bisexual lady. Every man who tried to control her is either dead or completely broken. Or a goat. The end. In Conclusion There’s a reason why mass media tastemakers celebrate Poor Things: It reflects the culture and mindset the elite is looking to force on the masses. It is representative of a society that is steadily straying away from everything pure and natural to embrace the sick, the twisted, and, yes, the ungodly. From God’s distorted face to the hybrid animal monstrosities running around to Bella awkwardly walking with an infant’s brain - everything we see is in complete opposition to the natural order of things. But that distortion is not merely esthetic. The movie also obsesses over twisted concepts such as the sexualization of children and female “empowerment” through sexual degradation. In this movie, a child discovering the world does not play around in nature; it plays with a dead man’s penis while stabbing him in the eyes. Of course, not all movies need to portray happy, pretty things. But Poor Things’ core message is that these disturbing things are good and desirable in an enlightened society. At least the movie got something right: It warned us about “tobacco

Kudos to Diogenes

Said a homeless guy 2500 years ago to alexander the great, he's Diogenes, what a legend

@@user-rh6pi1qo4w there are many versions of what he supposedly said. In this film it makes even more sense because " *my* sun" is something a child might say since for children everything evolves around themselves.

Why is it a good line? I've probably said that hundreds of times

@@solokom im from Africa and heard this many times, its sometimes said jokingly but it has the meaning like "youre in my way" im surprise that thats considered witty or something lol

Her work as an actress, yes. The movie instead is nothing short of appalling.

​@@oscar17891It's amazing 😅 what are you talking about. Bad take.

@@sickopathogen I wanted to tell you to read all the comments that are criticizing the movie and I discovered... they've all been cancelled! anyway, if you will get the chance to read this, I'll just say that 2 hours of a woman-child being constantly shown naked and having sex is anything but empowering. It's pedophilia with great costumes

@@sickopathogenJust one more of those people who get easily offended, Move along xD

​@sabina6104 you karens were all up in arms about this movie.

I'm hoping it goes to Lilly. I think Emma would agree. :)

I agree. Emma was absolutely fantastic. I have never seen anything like it. It's an all time performance. I hope she can win. She deserves it.

she was amazing!!!

​@@tmattoneill i feel like that's a biased take

@@tmattoneillLily isn't even in the same league as this. What Emma did here, is so incredibly risky, and is a solid career-ender if she doesn't play it to absolute perfection. Which she does. Emma has actually done one of the all time greatest performances, hands down. I can't even believe she dared to take this on, I'm in awe of this woman.

And intelligence. She handles all those virtues with the utmost intelligence.

@@ali-tube2967 Yes, saying she would love to be Bella in real life was a VERY intelligent comment. Thank goodness Stephen immediately made her feel like an idiot as soon s he pointed out the impractical idiocy of it.

@@paulinegallagher7821 she probably meant more like her. I wish I could be more like Bella

@@The_Tortoise_and_the_Hare You want to be a cross between a bizarro Raggedy Anne doll, Mary Poppins with a lobotomy, Tourette's and a Viagra infusion?

It's not quirky or cute when a character who doesn't know the word "sex" has sex.

@@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr It is so dark that is funny. It's a Greek tragedy thing that Lanthimos adds to his movies and a lot of foreigners don't get.

@@anakon she probably intended that a child (because we all know the charachter here has the brain of a child, as well as the pale thin look of a child's body) should not have sex, and I agree wholeheartedly

​@@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr I think it is. Loved every minute of this movie and happy to say.... I lived a lot like Bella in my younger years and never regretted a thing. But that's me

YES! My favorite line! That and "I must go punch that baby."

Oh I hadn't considered that! Good call! This was such a fun and surprising movie.

With Poor Things at least, it was also (Quite) Reminiscent of Pygmillion.. ...which would later be adapted for musical screen into My Fair Lady.. .

I just watched the shape of water recently. One of the most beautiful romances I’ve ever seen.

Honestly it has barely anything to do with Frankenstein, I see this comparison a lot but if you watch the movie the only parallel is the sci-fi medical practices. Bella is not a Frankenstein's monster and the themes and metaphors are entirely different

I found it closer to pinocchio than Frankenstein

I love mark ruffalo. Very versatile actor.

Worst movie I've seen in years. I've yet to see anyone give any substance behind the praise. It was boring, disgusting and distasteful.

Okay man.@@tatskamaster

@@mbizozo6271 And there we go. There's nothing there.

@@tatskamaster completely agree. Trying to make 2 good hours of nudity, uncalled-for sex and prostitution pass as a good way to represent women's liberation is simply preposterous. And he didn't economize on woke agenda's preferred topics either, what with children sexualization, unspeakable "scientific" experiments and same sex bi-racial affinities. He left almost no box unchecked. Ah yes, the vilification of the male in general. As concerns the cinematography, stitching together Tim Burton with Wes Anderson on steroids isn’t gonna count as style. It was a baroque fest of boredom, and all violence displayed was mainly aimed at poor defenseless animals. A truly disgusting endeavour all round, painful to watch and only appealing to people who take pleasure in watching a minor have sex

Ive said the same to my friends. Ive seen it 4 times at the cinemas and defitinity to be a CULT CLASSIC once everyone gets around to seeing it

So a baby's brain inside an adult woman's body getting fucked by gross men who kind of know she is a baby is interesting to you. You might want to visit a psychologist soon.

You're a man, right?

@@danieldrkness7489 You're a man, right?

@@danieldrkness7489 I saw it the first time in the cinema. I walked out of there not sure what I had just seen. But it stayed with me. So the following weekend I watched it at home with subtitles and can I tell you I got a hell of a lot more out of it. I've now watched it three times. Every time, I saw something new. New references... A throw away line... Her amazing FACIAL EXPRESSIONS! Max's slightest responses to Gods' burping bubbles... So much to process! And so good.

She wonderful, but not reserved

now, about the movie poor thing. bella's journey is defiantly controversial, and there are some scenes that migh chock some people, but if you watch it with an open mind you understand its self exploring, self fulfilling story, there's a couple of social topics to this story that is a bit too much of to write briefly in a comment, but, in my opinion this surreal story is beautifully weird and makes you think about your own choices in life.@@carpediemearth

She has a unique look to her. Nowadays everyone is trying to look the same. She has had a nose job though, but that's okay, having plastic surgery if you're bothered about something badly is fine, but having it to look more like everyone else is not great.

lol I read a comment earlier today that was body shaming Mark and I am still upset by it lol. There is nothing wrong with the way he looks. I hated his character but I think that was the point, well actually I liked him at the start, but after he got so whiny I didn't like him anymore.

@@The_Tortoise_and_the_Hare Yep. That was the point. And Mark Ruffalo is everything right!

Did you like the movie?

“Living hell” and “liberating” don’t seem to match. Sounds as if you are making your peace with the situation, though.

@@kelkabot ? they are saying that trying to live up to societal norms in our world is the living hell, but what is portrayed in the movie by Bella is truly liberating. stop trolling and being such a jerk

@@natalieryan2055you’re a perfect example of a neurotypical person who misses the point. The Bella character was so liberating for the neurodivergent in my opinion.

Most definitely. I thought the same thing.

I can understand when people don't like the same things I do, but I have felt excessively defensive when seeing criticism of Poor Things. I just felt so seen while watching this movie and it brought me so much joy. When people say they didn't like it, I feel as if they are the same type of people who wouldn't appreciate or understand my personality.
