I love that this pops up the same morning the ads start airing. Reddit is a very organic and non astroturfed website.

pay attention to how most of these accounts posting are no more than 2 years old yet they rack up thousands of karma and comment so little. OP does not seem to be a bot or paid poster, but it is a huge problem in r/movies.

There’s one user who has a 2 year old account but has over 7 million karma. When suspicions arise, he’ll occasionally say “oh, I just really love movies”. But he’s the one posting 90% of everything on the entertainment subs and yet he never ever comments more than a synopsis or article quote. Never gives an opinion, replies to a comment, doesn’t partake in discussions, nothing. Only time he does reply to someone is to clarify or add more news. How is that guy not doing that as a fucking job?

EDIT: grammar

EDIT 2: I honestly wouldn’t mind so much but I’ve seen other users post articles and such that get taken down right away but only for that one guy to post it himself

I know it seems so petty of me to complain, but it does cause some problems. I’ve seen users post trailers, articles, posters etc only for it to be taken down and reposted by that one guy. There are a few other people that have lots of karma and always post but they always engage with other users and partake in the discussion.

I’m not saying anyone that posts should comment, because what I really want to say is that the one guy is just astroturfing

You're on a television subreddit where people regularly post about new and current shows, and you aren't aware that TV shows have marketing campaigns and press that market them?

The article was published just yesterday. Are you saying that people should have submitted it to Reddit before it was published, or are you saying that authentic Reddit users would be unlikely to post a recently published article on a popular website to a relevant subreddit unless they were getting paid?

Yes he’s saying he doubts an article like this would be posted organically. I mean I kinda believe it. I’ve never heard of this site and these types of descriptive/hype headlines strike me as insincere.

Paste is a fairly popular site. It's been around for a while and used to be pretty good for music news in the 2000s.

I love posting and upvoting shill posts from pastemagazine.con man wdym?

__dontpanic__ t1_ix6lufk wrote

Yeah, but they don't control the comments - that's still very much organic. If a show is shit, the comments section will let me know, no matter how much the corporates try to astroturf the sub.

You get to use the site for free, someone has to pay for servers and workers. Kind of like when people here complain about pay walled news then immediately complain about journalists not getting paid properly. The money has to come from somewhere.

What did kumail do to his face? He looked different in Eternals. Maybe it's prosthetics to look more like his real life counterpart.

PlethoPappus t1_iwuoai4 wrote

The real life counterpart was kinda chubby, not sure how they're gonna play that off.

Has to be prosthetics. He’s still super cut. Saw a pic of him on the red carpet for this.

The_Ghost_of_BRoy t1_iwvdq1k wrote

He was just on the Smartless podcast this week and mentioned that he had to gain about 25 pounds of bad weight. Did it the old fashioned way with pies, ice cream, fried chicken etc.

I'm guessing that once filming wrapped he immediately geared back up and started eating right again

TheSunRogue t1_iwvqypf wrote

He also talks about this on Kimmel. He ate so poorly he developed sleep apnea.

I’m not sure, He didn’t look like a Greek god when He did an X Files podcast.

Probably just ate a bunch of all natty spinach.

This is either the greatest compliment or the most savage burn Kumail Nanjiani could have hoped for.

I just started listening to the Gimlet podcast about this that came out a couple of years ago called Welcome to Your Fantasy. Had no idea Netflix Hulu was making a series now but the podcast is great.

Is that confirmed it will be on Disney+? Canada? I've seen them do it with most of their shows but didn't know if it's all of them.

I listened to it last year and it was interesting. The series is based on a book, Deadly Dance: The Chippendales Murders. It's not based on the podcast, though I thought it was too when show was announced.

If my mom catches wind of this, she will want my Hulu account.

Growing up there was always a chipendales calendar on the back of the bathroom door.

When my wife and I went to New Zealand, at a gas station they had a Firefighters calendar and bikini calendar. I thought instantly what to do, and to the cashiers confusion, grabbed the firefighter calendar with excitement. Knowing I got my mom her Christmas gift.

It's been 6 years and it's still hanging at her apartment.

Looks good. I think he’s criminally underemployed. He’s been my favorite part of a bunch of shows.

The podcast Death of a Starlet by wondery touches on this and it's very good!

I am a simple man, I see a paste magazine link and I downvote.

Is it just me or is Reddit being absolutely spammed by paste magazine links lately?

I just looked up the cast as I'm watching the first episode, and realized Paul Snider and Dorothy Stratten are in this. Read about their chilling story a year or so ago, can't wait to see how it plays out in this show.

I feel like I've seen the chippendale's story before - was there another movie or show about this?
