> On March 25 of this year, I was performing a love scene with the actress playing my young wife. Both of us were fully clothed. I was sitting on a couch, she was standing in front of me. The director called “cut.” “He touched my leg,” said the actress. “That was not in the blocking.” She then turned and walked off the set, followed by the director and the intimacy coordinator. I attempted to follow but was asked to “give her some space.” I waited for approximately one hour, and was then told she was not returning to set and we were wrapped.

I thought he was supposed to be Pym. Ngl, I think Greenwood was better. Langella's too old. Greenwood's face pulls the evil womanizer bit more.

I will agree there. It's extremely formulaic. But I had fun binging it, so eh. It's not like they're making a ton of Halloween stuff these days.
I agree, the actor for Roderick killed it.
Easily the best actor in the show and he completely carried it.
What the frick, I assumed he at least was trying to get it on IRL. How the frick can you be offended by someone playing your husband touching your leg during a love scene?
>At age 23, she decided to have her right leg amputated below the knee due to complications from breaking her foot at age 15
Hahahhahahaa!!!
No retaliation needed. This b***h is a horrible hateful person and deserves her misery. Dumb TikTok c**t.
I'm going to smash this troony's face in for what she did to Skeletor >he touched my fake leg!
That's why you never give minorities or handicaps an inch, because they'll always take a mile. They think society owes them because they weren't born white males.

I thought this show was quite pointless >first episode establishes based Roderick’s family died >ep 2-7 just shows all of them dying >last episode is just people talking about dying
I expected some explanation, but it was just muh ghost
Also this show had no reason to be 8 hours long, most of the characters you can just remove and nothing would have changed >based mark hamill was wasted, had nothing to do with the plot >the white hair gilf sister added nothing to the plot >OP pic rel druggie wife was just a waste of screen time
I feel a bit cheated of my extremely valuable time with this colourful garbage

It's woke trash, LMAO, in the second episode the Black person b***hes about how incompetent racists get promoted and not him. Cuckflix literally takes modern leftwing political environment and does the opposite and pretends its real, pure fantasy made for left wing troony freaks that have never left their basement.
I gave it a shot but saw 2 black leads and knew race politics would be front and center. Edgar Alan Poe never wrote niggets into his stories and it disgusts me Netflix is soiling his legacy.
Grow up
Also it’s because the father fricks every woman he meets and has tons of bastards. They’re all shitty people too
You're part of the problem. It used to be "ew this show has a black actor playing a white role, gross!" and now you Bidengays are like, "oh only two black actors not bad and I can totally see how they'd be related to the white family."
You're telling anons to grow up? I'd like to squeeze your liberal throat until your eyes pop out. And then I do the same to your fricking worthless family for raising you wrong.

But why? They never explain why this ghost came at them
The whole moral part of “muh addicting opioids are bad” fell flat when it’s just a ghost offering them a fortune and success, with no fear of the law, but their bloodline will die. So is it the ghosts the villain?
not him, but ultimately the story has no point
the "devil" isn't interesting at all, she's just a random supernatural being that is apparently bored and likes to enter into nonsensical deals purely out of malevolence
the siblings are ruthless individuals and they remain ruthless individuals to the end
the "twist" is that bad people exist and feel no repentance, really shocking
And in the end it didn’t matter for the family if they were good or bad people, as in the Leonore girl who was the only one from the family who wasn’t evil also died. So what’s the point of all this
>purely out of malevolence
I wouldn't call it malevolence, she gave each sibling an out to at least die peacefully instead of an extremely painful freakshow.
Aside from that, your standard faustian bargain, she offers riches and power for a price.
The point of the movie is that the people Verna gives a contract to be rich never do anything to really help humanity. All the businesses and money they make, and they never set up charities to help the poor, starving or needy. She even muses on that herself at one point.
Well it seems to me that she was omniscient, knew exactly what was going to happen and even knew what they’re alternate lives would’ve been
I think she appears not just to anybody but to people who find themselves in a position to become very powerful and then “pushes” causality in such a way as to make that outcome possible, she wouldn’t appear to someone like you or me but suppose you were about to stumble onto a breakthrough on teleportation or anti aging formula

I'm not saying doing this things will get you in trouble, just open you up to future liability. A Chad could do all of these and be fine, but all it takes is one bitter woman at work to ruin him. Frank should have known this, especially since he works in show business.
>Frank should have known this, especially since he works in show business
Lots of boomers try to cling to the old ways. Like they should be except from any blowback.
His swan song is Angry Neighbors.
I couldn't place her face, but was this b***h in an episode of Creepshow?
This slag.
What's the actresses name?
Frank was Skeletor with all his heart. I'll make this b***h my enemy for life. Name please.
ruth codd
Never heard of her, she has like 3 credits, definitely saw this as a way to further her career. What a shitbag
its the hair eating assistant from the boys
Horrible phenotype and haircut
it's literally the girl you take home when your black out drunk. the fact she's irish is proof.
>NO MORE CASUAL TOUCHING, OLD MAN
I thought this was the same actress the whole show
as fugly as that actress is, she is incredible at her job. love her as Ashley in da boiz
you guys aren't actually watching this garbage, right?

Imagine making Frank Langella apologize for acting.
Thanks. Ruth Codd is now my enemy.

Hahahhahahaa!!!
No retaliation needed. This b***h is a horrible hateful person and deserves her misery. Dumb TikTok c**t.
was he supposed to be roderick?
Yeah he was Roderick, they shot half his scenes before he was fired
it worked out then because his replacement was great
I agree, the actor for Roderick killed it.
Easily the best actor in the show and he completely carried it.
What the frick, I assumed he at least was trying to get it on IRL. How the frick can you be offended by someone playing your husband touching your leg during a love scene?
>support the hiring of clearly mentally ill people who crave and seek conflict and confrontation and get this every time
Not my problem Franko 😉
what the frick
I'm sure this makes her unhireable for future productions
Just a walking lawsuit waiting to happen
I wonder how long that becomes a noticeable pattern with directors. They stop trusting actors who are obsessively "by the book"
What a fricking b***h. I hope Hamas paraglides onto her home
One more reason never to give Netflix a dime.
hmm that sucks. I actually like the actress too, she played her role well in The Midnight Club.
Though I'm sure Frank did overstep.
I thought he was supposed to be Pym. Ngl, I think Greenwood was better. Langella's too old. Greenwood's face pulls the evil womanizer bit more.
I will agree there. It's extremely formulaic. But I had fun binging it, so eh. It's not like they're making a ton of Halloween stuff these days.
wow some rich butthole learned he can't do whatever the frick with no consequences. my heart breaks for him
>yes doctor, you can remove my inflamed appendix but don't you dare look at my love handles! that's a step to far!
If you want a shit job, this is how you go about it.
I'm going to smash this troony's face in for what she did to Skeletor
>he touched my fake leg!
That's why you never give minorities or handicaps an inch, because they'll always take a mile. They think society owes them because they weren't born white males.
THAT'S
A FRICKING
troony
this show has a racemixed family. Why are you watching it
Grow up

Trump lost
Race politics has nothing to do with the story, you homosexual. It’s just rich people being awful.

no arrow therefore you look like that and you say that
Why are you posting John Oliver?
And this is what you look like LMAO
Is he biting his tongue?
How can someone who is bald fat and bearded look effeminate?
you can barely squeeze toothpaste out of a tube let alone overpower another human being
I'm going to dedicate my life to trashing this series on Cinemaphile
It's about time lefties realize we've had enough of your woke homosexualry
THIS IS WHAT LIBERALS WANT
You ruined Cinemaphile forever
I thought this show was quite pointless

Well then you would get a visit from her
Why are they even filming sex scenes?
Titillating hacks.
Just watched the first episode last night, Gloves is back at it again with white hair being the finest thing on two legs.
Nah, he was being a dickhead.
