wut, the main character fails a ton in that series. there’s no “white savior” approach to it
The co-creator of this show is an Israel supporter.

That’s most of Hollywood
Never said they didn’t fail, and never said it was a “white savior” story, it is white-exceptionalism though, and that’s on top of the reason mentioned above (which, I think is an absolutely valid reason).
Sure, but if a person happens to be openly sharing Zionist propaganda, then I am easily inclined to not bother with their work.

Absolutely, it’s just so hard to avoid on the whole. Which sucks.

Yup, it is definitely hard to do so.

I think realistically there is a reason anyone can find to not read/listen/watch most content creators.
For all we know our favourite actors/directors/authors could have an opinion or done something that we personally don’t like and we wouldn’t support them if we did. However as we don’t know them personally we would would never know.
We all have different opinions and takes which we will not agree with, some just relate to different life experiences.
E.G. there is a religious group which have a big presence near my home which have always caused us issues (including trying to force their way into our home!), therefore I typically paint all their followers with the same brush (even though I know I shouldn’t). As an atheist I personally don’t understand any of the religious divides but that’s just me.
Nosferatu
Ah man, I was hoping i was going to love this. It’s not a bad movie at all, the setting and atmosphere is great as is the case with all of Robert Egger’s movies but just like with The Witch, The Lighthouse there is something missing for me and I can’t put my finger on it.
I didn’t like Lily Rose Depp’s acting, didn’t think it was very good, while the rest of the acting was fine. Nosferatu himself was fine, but I didn’t find his presence very menacing, or creepy. I did not recognise Skarsgard at all though, so damn good job there. But when he spoke in English, he sounded a bit off, a bit, goofy? That’s probably just me. When he spoke in the other language he sounded more…menacing I guess.
When it comes to Dracula movies, Bram Stoker’s remains the better one for me, by far.
The Witch is probably my favorite movie of the past 10 years. The Northman was all right and I never did get around to seeing The Lighthouse. Really interested to see how Nosferatu is being received.
I personally loved Nosferatu. So many shots that just ooze style in a way most movies just don’t anymore, coupled with fantastic acting…. Eggers clearly loves his craft and he’s one of the best newer directors imo.

I had no expectations for Dexter Original Sin to be good at all, but it has surprised me in a rather good way.
The actor playing younger Dexter in his 20s does a damn good job, really damn good actually. But that goes for the whole cast really. It’s kinda crazy how alike they are to the original show. And in terms of story, suspense, it’s way better than I ever thought it would be. Nice!
