Basically, that first sentence was supposed to be a response to Frank Sinatra, though I didn't quite manage to make that connection clear enough.

That’s what I call pure disappointment. But honestly, you almost have to forgive him when he looks that scrawny and lifeless.
Anyway, I’ve noticed that half the posts here aren't actually expressing disappointment—which is what should happen after feeling that initial rush of excitement—but are instead just constant, baseless hating on some actor. It feels pretty pointless to me.
For me, nothing hits quite like the disappointment of seeing someone like a washed-up celebrity appearing on a reality show about cleaning up trash. Someone really needs to explain to people that there is nothing more degrading than that, especially when you're broke. I even saw a certain local news anchor on a similar show today, and apparently, they're still making appearances on late-night talk shows too.
God help them.

So, Luna and Almodóvar have finally been exposed. He’s the first one I can actually tolerate. As for Almodóvar, he’s absolutely tanking.

If you don't think this film is controversial, then nothing else is. Clearly, you have a soft spot for low-brow cinema. As far as everything else goes, this might just be Kubrick's most high-quality work. It’s layered, subtly brutal, and carries heavy Kafkaesque elements throughout the story.
