Off Topic Discussion / Re: Pizza browning
Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 01:46:27 PMTuna doesn't sound good on pizza to me either, but I'd have to see what kind of sauce it's paired with to know for sure. I'd try a slice.

Last post by HappyGilmore - Today at 01:19:48 PMI mean no offense, but tuna and sweet corn on pizza sounds disgusting. But it's all personal preference I'd guess.

UK is under Sharia law. It was quite clear they have absolutely no idea how the law over here works or even what it is, but it was funny as hell listening to them, and I guess a little bit saddening that there are people out there who let themselves be that uneducated and easily led.

Bad Movies / Re: RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie...
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 10:50:05 AMTHE HOUSEMAID (2025):
Madame had read the book (or book series) and was looking forward to this, so we watched it on the plane to Florida. It's similarly themed and similarly surprisingly grisly to Zoe Kravitz' BLINK TWICE... actually a lot less grisly than that unexpected gruefest though still more bloody than I'd expect from what looked like a Lifetime original movie released in theaters. What I'll say for HOUSEMAID is that it's definitely a glossy, high-budget production that is shot and edited and directed and performed like a real movie, which makes one briefly overlook the fact that the plot (which I will generally spoil here) makes no sense whatsoever.
So, an apparently desperate young woman is hired as the housekeeper and nanny for a wealthy couple and their 7-year old daughter. The wife almost immediately begins behaving like a psychotic maniac, so the housemaid has an affair w/ the hunky husband, but then he turns out to be a sadistic psychopath as well, and it turns out that the wife hired the housemaid (who is a former murderer!) in the hopes that the couple's combined psychotic behavior would inevitably drive the housemaid to murder the sadistic husband. Obviously that plan inherently seems like flying all the way to India just to get a cup of Darjeeling tea, but besides its counter-intuitive inconvenience, how could the wife know that the housemaid wouldn't murder her, instead? I certainly wanted to murder the wife after only about 20 minutes of her histrionics! Plus I haven't yet mentioned a final twist by which the eventual murderer/s narrowly and unwittingly escape detection of their sloppy crime because the most convenient investigating police officer possible happens to coincidentally arrive at the crime scene, totally beyond the guilty party's expectations.
Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy a completely insane plot as long as I am somehow invested in or entertained by the character(s). But there's HOUSEMAID's biggest problem: the wife is completely unlikable (in spite of an honestly pretty good performance from Amanda Seyfried), the husband is completely loathsome, the husband's hilariously petty mother (Elizabeth McGovern, fully transformed into Stockard Channing) is similarly unsympathetic, the 7-year old daughter (who looks more like 10-11) is the least sympathetic/most unlikable member of the family, and the housemaid is played by eugenics enthusiast Sydney Sweeney.
In other words, it was a tough two-hour flight. 1.5/5
