Logging

Film: The Last Seduction

Shot in a very matter of fact manner. I wonder what a more stylish director would've done with the material. Nevertheless, enjoyable...

TV: The Idol pilot

Severely underrated by the critics, but feels like a lot of other provocations I've seen before. Shows and movies with this look-at-how-fucked-up-we-are attitude often fall into a trap of their own making where they start getting the characters doing crazy wild shit that get me thinking (if I may borrow the words of the Weeknd): "I don't believe you."

TV: The Bear pilot

Biggest cliche on prestige tv: the slumming it genius. Are all these shows sort of a variant of Sherlock Holmes in a way? Tortured genius in a kitchen?
