[QUOTE="Gabriel Maxwell, post: 364927, member: 121"] Ryan Murphy sure has an eye for... ahm... talent. David Corenswet just got cast as the new SUPERMAN. He does look like a tad younger Henry Cavill. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/PqVdtZkr/Corensw-et.jpg[/IMG] I thought the first episode based on Scotty Bowers' tales of the gas station hookers serving the carnal needs of the Hollywood elite was great. The production values were excellent, the storyline was fun and it even had a solid cliffhanger. Top notch. Very promising. Then the next couple of episodes were still quite amusing, mostly saved by Jim Parsons' deliciously mean Henry Wilson (were we supposed to hate his character? He may have been the best thing about the show). Then it all just went downhill fast soaking in Ryan Murphy's sugary sticky wet dream of being a woke superhero traveling back in time to right the wrongs of the past. As often the case with his shows, couldn't take a great start to a strong finish. It all falls apart along the way. And all he had to do is 7 episodes. Oh my God, I know. What horrible casting. He's a pretty boy, sure, but what was with the deer-in-the-headlights look? He came across all the time as if he pooped his pants. Rock Hudson would've never become Hollywood's megastar leading romantic man between 1954 and mid 60s with that severe lack of charm and gravitas. The point is tapping oneself on the back what a great human being one is and expecting to be showered with praise for such efforts accordingly (including scoring high on the infamous "[I]Corporate Equality Index[/I]"). It's rarely about the marginalized, it's almost always about oneself. By the way, are there any megastar leading romantic men who happen to be out and proud homosexuals today? And I don't mean any Doogie Howser types or some guy only die-hard fans have heard of. I mean men with the kind of global star power Rock Hudson enjoyed for about a decade (and then continued to live off for another two). Maybe Ryan Murphy and the rest of the Scooby Doo gang of Hollywood wokeys should travel back to 2023 and right the wrongs of today. [/QUOTE]
