shoulda been jakes oscar

they do critique the audience a bit with the plane scene with creed from the office

you are beating up on a strawman and a fake quote you created tbh

They didnt need him to be crazy for the plot. "if it wasnt based on a real life person they would have had him do some crazy s***"

the things occurring in here legally could cross into the defamation area either way when not asking to use a person likeness. They could have him kill a person but again saying based on true but not true clears them .

there is no reason for Chris Hansen to be this crazy throughout the movie. To the point it often takes you out of the gravity of the movie

There is an audience outside of just "kill them I would kill them" that can be criticized man. The audience that is in front of the screen watching the movie with popcorn , nachos, instantly posting their review to letterboxd going to the movie thinking its about chris hansen being good or evil. Is also a part of what i am getitng at and I posted a review about this point

salon.com/2026/09/26/robert-pattinsons-primetime-isnt-chris-hansens-story

I even copy and pasted the direct portion I thought was worth reading but people dont read or its gets muddled between shaleirose personal insults

"“Primetime” poses no questions about Hansen’s ethics that haven’t already been asked, making the entire affair feel guilty of the same sensationalism as Hansen’s original show."

But perhaps that’s the point. “Primetime” presents itself as a story about Hansen’s callous quest for ratings and notoriety at the expense of his tact, but the portrait is unfinished. Not even “Predators” — the 2025 documentary on this very subject that not only beat “Primetime” to the punch but has far more to say about Hansen’s effect on culture — can complete the image. We, the audience, are the final piece of the puzzle, the culpable players who not only ate up the original “To Catch a Predator,” but all the media and memes that spun off it.

Now, “Primetime” (and its marketing) exposes itself as a continuation of that culpability, turning “To Catch a Predator” back into a spectacle for the viewer to gawk at, spoon-feeding them shallow bromides between handfuls of popcorn. The film poses no questions about Hansen’s ethics that haven’t already been asked, making the entire affair feel guilty of the same sensationalism as Hansen’s original show. “Primetime” isn’t a film so much as it is a final exam testing what we’ve learned over the last 20 years. The answer? Not much.

even with him acting crazy theres not much to the plot. without it itd be a snoozefest

you rather than respond to my criticism and dissection of the movie criticize me and say "I think you expected a biopic" not true. "your high reverance of the show is affecting judgement"

When I am criticizing the movie. You arent responding to the criticisms I have instead utilizing ways to discredit the messenger. You havent even said what you like and dislike about the movie over our discussion.

this is the only thing you have said about the content of the movie.

after Neon Nigga said his cousin who saw it felt summarily to me I discussed the movie. while also saying the same thing you are saying here where the format of the show predators did respond or explain themselves then posted clips where they do so.

I mean I think there is a plot for Skyler where they get something to work with. Do I think the plot for Skyler was good? No not really. Do I think it could be better in many ways? yes. Decoys have come out and discussed their role since the show aired in articles, in predators. Dan is a newscaster now . His name is Dan Schrack

sadly his social media is getting spammed with fans of primetime going "decoy dan decoy dan" now when the man has entirely moved on from the show and doesnt hugely like talking about it or reliving it.

This visual style for a 1980s detective movie

bc its not a discussion lol, you barged into my reply to another user and are using my posts to ramble about some random s*** lol

brother "barged in" Neon Nigga specifically mentioned his cousin opinion was the same as mine

I didnt call you barging in as responding to him and his reason for being mixed on it

you barged in to my discussion here by your goofy ass logic

deadass calm down lol

now when you see you are wrong its "calm down"

yep the visual style was extremely strong. Would like it more modern times. Again reminded me of refn even though I still got refn visually above this even in her private hell with its muddled plot like I liked in some regards.

skylers def the best part of the movie but it just kinda goes nowhere. like I thought it was going somewhere after he did hansens whole schtick but then he just goes back to being a decoy on the phone in the end

people do goofy s*** and rather than say "you know what I am wrong" its"calm down youre crashing out"

just admit to being wrong and stop talking man.

bc u are crashing out and also we all saw nightcrawler in theaters when it came out

Him doing hansen stick was so out there and separate from reality that I thought it was a dream sequence. I thought they were making an entire alternate ending to reality. In some ways that would have been more interesting to me.

loved the look of the movie, loved the acting, but theres no climax. left me waiting for him to go off the deep end and it never came
still enjoyed the movie just disappointing coming in with sky high expectations

This style in a futuristic crime grounded movie Bladerunner with this style

"crashing out" by talking about the movie rather than talking about users or saying "you watched the show its affecting your judgement"

brother hte movie was shallow its okay it looked pretty it had good performances from people working with an alright script from a first time director on major movie and first time writer

the best part of the movie wasnt the directing or writing by itself at all

the visual style cinematography done by David Bolen carried is what made this great

great debut film for Oppenheim and will be there for the documentary but its okay to realize the movie was in many ways shallow.

the "you just didnt get it " crowd is loving saying this with this movie but I have discussed this movie even when you accept all the changes made to reality to prove its point contradicts its own message multiple times to you in english and you say "I dont get what you are trying to say"

you want it in spanish and japanese too ?

you dont want to talk about the movie lol you just want people to pat you on the back for having the best opinion lol

i thought the movie was just ok-pretty good but this mf cant even tell bc he's so focused on yellign his opinion over everyone
