I hope if you watch the tutor you’ll post a review after 🙏
you’re in luck bc i watched it yesterday and it was, um… well, the concept is interesting but poorly executed, and the pacing doesn’t make sense. i got the feeling that i’m supposed to root for ethan, aka the tutor, at first. but the actor looked like he was doing the movie at gunpoint and only started to put his whole hedlundussy into the last 15 minutes. which makes sense in retrospect since i read that garrett hedlund wasn’t sure about the script. noah was great the whole time but i hated his character design and i’m not even sure if his character (jackson) was putting on an act around ethan because the writing is that bad. he looks like chuck bass and young sheldon combined, with the pallor of a victorian child half dead from consumption. i’m aware that i should be creeped out by jackson but he clearly has something on ethan. i’m not saying he wasn’t creepy or unnerving but i knew it was on the surface, that there was something more to it. garrett and noah were great and did their best with what they were given, but the initial character design for them wasn’t convincing enough. or maybe it’s just me seeing through the flawed writing and pacing. i knew the film was bad so i was already watching with a critical eye.
the movie opens and ends abruptly. the editing is choppy but also flat. i would’ve liked the movie better if it had a terrible 90s camp vibes, like roald dahl’s the witches (1990) because it didn’t really work as a thriller or whatever genre it’s supposed to be. i’m also stuck wondering if the ending was supposed to be an open ending; again, because of the writing and editing. it’s almost frustrating because the story doesn’t feel complete and i still have questions. and not because it was done on purpose but because there’s no setup that leads to a satisfactory payoff or conclusion. there’s no clear reasoning or motivation although we do get a vague idea. basically the movie is good enough for passive viewing on the lifetime channel. usually i wouldn’t care if i’m watching something crap but i’m annoyed this time because noah’s in the movie and he has the range!! he was great but it felt like i was reading a hyped up book and i only liked the book cover. i’m just glad i didn’t pay for the privilege and used american netflix instead 😭
and that’s all i can say without spoilers, lmao. although i’m happy to reveal the plot (under a read more, ofc) and expand on my criticism, like noah’s character design, for example. i’d also love to complain about ethan’s hair!!!
ALSO… justice for noah because that video of him screaming and having a meltdown was definitely taken out of context. he does not deserve the lashings, omg 😭 like i can say it looks goofy but the fun stops every time noah antis spread it around for clout and to get people to take the piss 😩✋🏻 not to mention the clip of jackson with the gun being included in the trailer (was it? idk); that was done on purpose to make jackson look unhinged or something. and i am disappointed because of spoiler related reasons!!
i gotta stop now or i’ll just keep talking 🙈 sorry about my poor excuse of a review btw. i’m no roger ebert. or any basic movie reviewers, actually!!

the difference between these two 🥺 both??
funny story though. my roommate is still taking food but my memory is so bad when it comes to things i don’t eat myself (adhd)
when i talk to friends and family about the situation the first thing they ask is, “are you sure you’re not sleep eating?” which is adorable. they wanna believe, even if for a second, that maybe i’m not truly at fault for making myself into such a cow 🥺 i get it bc im getting very fat even with the thievery but at the same time. im literally being gaslit

absolutely hilarious to me that that side of the fandom think the buddie side is the delusional one because of the tim interview when the man himself CLEARLY stated that he had NEVER seen the fandom behaving this badly in all of his years working in the business and the only difference from all the other years to this one is the bt fandom, like genuinely lol.
he also stated about people coming to talk to him and using what he said when there are prints out there of their fandom doing this, like it’s not all of them obviously, just like there are parts of the buddie fandom who can be disrespectful too, but as someone who recently joined the fandom and saw the comings and goings through the years, i can safely say when a fandom is being too much on the disrespectful side and i saw that behavior way more on that side, honestly.

i lost the post but i saw someone talking about how some of y’all act like being weird is a choice and like. YEAHHHHHHH.
that’s fine, it might be for you. but i just live like this and don’t know any other way. like yeah i’ve worked customer service, i can do innocuous small talk, but anything beyond that, i don’t understand what i’m missing. and it’s frustrating to see the tonal disconnect especially from people who are like “uwu embrace weirdness!!” where they’re like. dressing quirky and talking about bugs and listening to obscure music and eschewing small talk to ask Deep Questions on the first date and unlearning their tendency to not infodump. and generally have an idea of what Weirdness is supposed to look like. idk man some of us wake up and get out of bed and can’t figure out why the rest of their coworkers chitchat with each other but when they join the conversation it dies.
weirdness is value neutral. let’s stop trying to turn it into a badge because quite frankly, it’s not a choice for everyone. it’s fucking exhausting to never be on the same wavelength as other people and they’re going to react the way they do and label you the way they will without any conscious actions on your end. it’s difficult to talk about this without feeling like you’ll be dismissed as immature, a teenager whining “no one understands me” but the thing is. sometimes you don’t grow out of feeling alone and different, and there’s no good way to talk about it without feeling like people will think you’re just fishing for pity.
