Sure but I doubt you were romanticizing the act of getting decapitated by a rollercoaster the way kids watch euphoria and romanticize drug addiction because they don’t have the lived experience to understand the nuances of it

"The Idol’s first shot, a long pull-back from a close-up on Depp’s face as she runs through a series of emotions called out by the photographer—“Give me some innocence, now pure sex, now give me vulnerable”—seems designed to convince the haters that the show’s alleged “nepo baby” lead can really act, but Jocelyn, the former teen TV star she plays, is such a jumble of repurposed parts that Depp rarely gets that chance again. When she’s going through dance steps for an upcoming music video shoot, one character explains that the choreography is “referential,” which is one way of saying that the sight of a young woman in a barely-there costume getting caressed by an orgy’s-worth of dancers as a way of obliterating any last traces of teenage innocence is just a wee bit reminiscent of the video treatment for Britney Spears’ “I’m a Slave 4 U.” (Later, she dances in a packed club to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer,” and the softcore posing of the opening sequence is soundtracked, in a truly spectacular bit of point-missing, with Fiona Apple’s “Criminal.”) "

Rest of this is a scorcher. Personal fav horror story :

But when Tesfaye’s Tedros worms his way into her life, he pitches her a more solitary vision of success: just you and me, baby. He comes on strong at his club, almost screwing her in the stairwell, then slinks back to her place, where she plays him her forthcoming single, which is full of lyrics like “Get ready to become my bitch.” It’s OK, he says, just one problem: You sound like you don’t know how to fuck. Considering that there’s a picture going viral that seems to prove quite the opposite—giving rise to the immortal line, “Twitter is calling her the human cumsock”—it’s not really clear why she’s so easily reverse slut-shamed. (As an actor, Tesfaye definitely lacks the malign charisma that would allow a man to say that and not get slapped.) But the show’s all-purpose excuse is that she’s still reeling from the death of her mother, which caused a “psychotic break” so severe that she was forced to cancel an arena tour, leaving both her career and her psyche hanging by a thread.

If anybody has ever seemed like they’d be a human cumsock, it’s Tesfaye

how delusional do u have to be to weather this project thru years of controversy, to premiere it at cannes, and ostensibly expect to remain culturally relevant/influential?

I’m cringe-watching the first episode right now and truly every shot this show had at being decent goes out the window the second weaknd comes on the screen

Holy fuck he is unwatchable
