Date: August 1st, 2026 6:53 PM Author: Abusive Rebellious Hall Lettuce JfC seemed kind of goofy. it had elements of magical realism, but was generally too mundane for those elements to mean anything. from what i remember, a lot of it was a domestic drama with annoying and unsympathetic characters.
also, in terms of failed HBO prestige projects, Treme must be one of their biggest flops. they poured a lot of money into that thing, and nobody watched. |

a stripper who sucked my dick in the vip room at club risque in philly was an extra on Vinyl (i went back and watched her episode after). she actually met mick jagger's son on set and he fucked her. i was bummed that show only had one season. i liked it. |

Never heard of half of these, but the above were entertaining. Some of these got multiple seasons, tough to call them flops. Also FUCKKKK that shit Rome was one of the GOAT HBO shows and only got what 2 seasons? |

Date: August 3rd, 2026 9:28 AM Author: The Dismal Tide I got really excited about THE DEUCE because I was a kid in mfh when times square was squalid, and I generally like old new york stuff. and there was a pretty hot latina, iirc
but i quickly realized that watching the show involved committing to the bit that maggie gyllenhall (sp?) was sexually attractive, and that was that |

Date: August 3rd, 2026 9:29 AM Author: The Soo CR SUMMER JUGGERNAUT wasn't her character like a gutter street walker?

i can watch flying dragons, etc., but there are limits |

Date: August 3rd, 2026 9:34 AM Author: The Soo CR SUMMER JUGGERNAUT I think you have to take into consideration that perhaps people were uglier in the 70s, they had little to no access to porn or swipe fuck apps and some of these sweaty, combover bald fat middle aged men might have been desperate enough to fuck her or even worse.
