IMDb says this features Zan Perrion as "self". Probably just a quick cameo. Haven't watched it yet.
"Tripp is an average frustrated chump, who comes up with a golden idea"...
Poster tagline is "Who lies more, men or women?"
In 12 parts at the link below. Terrible audio.

Haven't watched this either, but you guys might be interested.
Re: the writer/director:
In 2018, the Los Angeles Times reported that 395 women had accused Toback of sexual harassment or assault over a 40-year period. Toback denied all the allegations.[3][4] In 2022, 38 women filed a lawsuit in New York accusing him of sexual abuse.[5] The suit eventually involved 40 accusers[6] and, on April 9, 2025, resulted in a verdict and order against Toback requiring him to pay $1.68 billion to the women.[7]
An article in a 1989 issue of Spy magazine detailed how Toback would "hang out on the streets of the Upper West Side in New York City, and approach women. According to the story, he would in rapid-fire fashion tell them that he was a Hollywood director and offer to show them his Directors Guild of America card. The pitch invariably ended up with an invite to meet privately—sometimes at an outlandishly late hour—to talk about appearing in one of his films".[35]

Re-watched Heat recently.
What a badass movie!
Check out the film "JoJo Rabbit"
It was made in 2019
Try not to read anything about it going in
I was literally not ready for the first 10 minutes of this film... One of the most outrageous openings I've ever seen. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and "how they got away with this."

Two case studies in low testosterone, still decent movies:
- Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
- Jay Kelly (Clooney)
The Bob Dylan biopic starring petite Timmy was pretty good too. Devil may care attitude, with more than one love interest.

I thought Marty Supreme (2025) was a waste of time, but then I was never entirely sold on the scrawny Chalamet ever since he first appeared on the scene with Hot Summer Nights (2017) and other slop. I didn't see the purpose of telling that story, other than to expound a cautionary tale about the perils of "toxic masculinity" in the character of Marty (and tripe about capitalism blablabla).
The subliminal messaging was also pretty hardcore, with the suggestion at the start when he runs to the storage at the back of the shoe shop with the fat married Jewish girl and she says she's got morning sickness (aka she's pregnant) and he porks her, and then somehow he's supposed to take custody of the kid despite not being the father?
The Return (2024) (about Odysseus' return after The Odyssey), with Ralph Fiennes, was of course an exercise in outlining the evils of men in preclassical Greece, who used to rape women and blablabla. The Gorge (2025) was okay but of course there had to be a super slim Taylor-Joy playing a beer and vodka-guzzling sharpshooter (if you look at the (very few) actual female sharpshooters in history for instance in the USSR they were all big butch dyke types) yaay how realistic! And she's the one who grabs Miles Teller by the neck and so on. Don't even get me started on Roofman (2025)... or Nuremberg (2025), where they had to place a woman (who never existed...) as assistant to the US judge, telling him what to do and giving him approval at the trials. I guess Now You See Me Now You Don't (2025) was ok.
One movie that I watched recently and really liked was Man of Steel (2013). I also watched Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). What I liked most about these movies was that there was a man-to-woman frame between Superman and Lois, as against the frame in the new Superman (2025) movie, where even Superman doesn't hold frame in the relationship with Lois, who is the one pushing him away after he says he loves her. Good Fortune (2025) was funny, but of course Sandra Oh is Keanu Reeves' boss... Frankenstein (2025) was also nice. Hot Fuzz (2007) was hilarious, and not woke.
Despite YT's Critical Drinker's optimistic prognostications about "peak woke," woke is still going strong in TV these days. It can even be worse than full-feature flicks in that space. I was quite sick in Jan/early Feb and succumbed to temptation, watching Tokyo Drift season 1, Dark Matter, and The Agency (most of season 1 before I could take no more). Dark Matter was passable on the woke front. But Tokyo Drift was a veritable piece of trash. The Agency too.
Also note how in The White Lotus no white man can be an alpha boss. In the first season, the only guy who can be a boss is the Hawaiian employee at the resort, and in season two it's the Japanese-British dude who founded a start-up. The white guys are all turds. This is in keeping with the Marxian theorem of white privilege. Modern "prestige" TV is made to satisfy feminist audiences in the West and avoid social media cancellation. At the expense of men, of course. No wonder then that Richard Reeves is warning about never-before-seen levels of teenage male suicide. Boys drift towards the manosphere, which is a domain cut up into fiefdoms lorded over by scammers of various stripes.
What can you watch nowadays? Almost nothing. I'm officially off movies and TV, making an exception for the occasional classic samurai flick with friends. Reading immersive fantasy or sci-fi (that which has not yet been infested with the woke mind virus) before sleep to unwind these days. Let's see if Heat 2, which has been announced, will be worth watching. And Dune 3 (despite Chalamet).

I like Sydney Sweeney, particularly in Voyeur. But, IMO, the Housemaid is "Everything will be dandy once the women all band together to spank the bad man." Not recommended.

Ahh I liked it because he's so scrawny, yet does not give a fuck and goes for exactly what wants, like Gwenyth Paltrow, while using her husband lol. Apparent it was loosely based on a real guy who was known to be really skinny.
I am going to have to go through your post later. Looks like lots to consider, thanks! Before the thread I hadn't watched a movie in a long time. Haven't had a TV for quite a while. Girls hate it! Until there's nothing to do but fuck lol

She said she was sick in the beginning? I never thought he was under the assumption he was taking on the other guy's kid. I might not have been paying close enough attention.
The film does not explicitly confirm that Marty discovers the baby isn't his; rather, this is a subject of intense debate among viewers and critics. While the director, Josh Safdie, has stated the baby is Marty's son and the film opens with a visual of Marty's sperm fertilizing Rachel's egg, many audience members interpret the ending as Marty realizing the child is not biologically his after seeing the baby in the hospital nursery.
Viewers who believe he discovers the baby isn't his point to several specific visual cues:
Viewers who believe he discovers the baby isn't his point to several specific visual cues:
- Physical Appearance: The baby is described as having brown eyes and red or blonde hair, contrasting with Marty and Rachel's blue/green eyes, and resembling Rachel's husband, Ira.
- Expression Change: Marty's face shifts from an initial expression of overwhelming emotion or joy to one of realization, disappointment, or relief upon closer inspection of the child.
- The Nurse's Correction: Some interpretations suggest Marty is crying over a different baby because a nurse corrects him, stating, "You said 4 right?" implying he was looking at the wrong cot, though this theory is less dominant than the "lookalike" theory.
