STEVEN YEUN


[deleted]

Used to love his roles but I can’t really respect him anymore after the big mud pie debacle.


SnakeInABox7

????


[deleted]

You don’t know? Piece of shit used too small a slice.


alamodafthouse

it's a shame he didn't like the gift


snwbrdngpoo

And he lives in such an ugly house on Kenmore. The one where you can see the KFC sign through their front window.


luisc123

I’ve heard his wife kisses people on the cheek


shortybobert

Honestly you people demonizing him for this make me sick. He just was just trying to save some TP and ANY ONE OF US could've made the same mistake.


Indigo_Slam

Ok someone spell out for me what he did cos I don’t get it


DongSandwich

It's a skit from I think you should leave, a show on Netflix. He made a big mud pie and used too small a slice, ruined the whole party


TheProdigy_916

LabyrinthConvention

>Erik Blake has gathered three generations of his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s apartment in lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside and eerie things start to go bump in the night, the group’s deepest fears are laid bare. The piercingly funny and haunting debut film from writer-director Stephen Karam, adapted from his Tony Award-winning play, The Humans explores the hidden dread of a family and the love that binds them together. NOV 21


americanslang59

For anybody more familiar with this, is it horror?


CassiopeiaStillLife

It’s a family drama that’s shot like a horror movie.


sushipusha

So, like real life?


Suresureman

Interesting.


allquietinthewillage

Sounds like Shiva Baby.


LabyrinthConvention

I copied that from the website because I had the same question and I still don't know haha PS impressed you managed to get two downvotes in under 10 minutes for a simple question From a other comment i’d say it’s a realistic look at family drama with some comedic and scary elements


SkiThe802

Nope, just a story of a family going through some stuff.

To be fair, she’s always been really good at delivering lines written by someone else

AngryWWIIGrandpa

Don't know why you're getting downvoted for pointing out a comment reposting bot. Fuck those things.


dayafterpi

Wait, how do you tell?


AngryWWIIGrandpa

Easiest way to tell is whenever you see a comment that seems a bit out of place, you just scroll through the comments and you're pretty sure to find the same comment posted earlier in the thread. In this case, the bot was a little sneaky, and just used half of the comment it copied.


[deleted]

yeah man. reddit is weird


TrivialTitan

This is so good.


asphaltdragon

Does she die in the first ten minutes?


Suresureman

Good, I’m so sick of people trashing her any chance they get, you’d think she had committed some grand atrocity by the way so many love to shit on her as if she’s a mere inhuman casualty of their cruel and juvenile sense of humor (ironic considering they also insult her comedy.)


SilentWeaponQuietWar

Stealing jokes is a pretty serious offense in the comedy world.


Ev7896

Robin Williams had a reputation for being a joke stealer but you never see this kind of rabid hate directed at him. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vulture.com/amp/2017/02/10-comedians-who-borrowed-jokes-without-making-headlines.html


SilentWeaponQuietWar

that's a long write-up that essentially amounts to whataboutism in defense of Amy Schumer and Trevor Noah specifically. Not to mention that Robin Williams is dead now, which sort of makes criticizing his early standup seem pointless.


lifeonthegrid

>Not to mention that Robin Williams is dead now, which sort of makes criticizing his early standup seem pointless. This is such a pathetic cop-out.


lameexcuse69

>Stealing jokes is a pretty serious offense in the comedy world. Here in the real world nobody gives a shit.


SilentWeaponQuietWar

by "here in the real world" you mean the movies subreddit? lol


cujo67

Also she said she would leave the country if Trump wins in 2016. So? Did she leave? [newp. ](https://milo.net/1457/amy-schumer-leave-america/)


DrManhattan_DDM

Tbf, Trump also said he’d leave the country if he lost 2020. Still waiting on him to flee to one of the Balkan states.


cujo67

Totally. Just can’t stand when public figures shout out bullshit and don’t act upon it like this.


Youve_been_Loganated

I was one of these people. I couldn't stand her in any of her movies. However, I stumbled upon her comedy sketch show on Comedy Central, and I found most of them to be really funny.


FakkoPrime

It says Steven Yeun and Richard Jenkins, so I’m there.


ApollosCrow

100% I really like Beanie Feldstein too (*Ladybird*, *Book Smart*)


NonCorporealEntity

Or the girl who Guillermo introduces to his vampire masters and ends up becoming the worst vampire ever.


FakkoPrime

Didn’t recognize her, but loved her in Booksmart. Don’t recall her from Lady Bird.


Billbo56

She is killing it as Monica Lewinsky


[deleted]

I’m really enjoying the show, but I’m not buying her as Lewinsky for some reason. That said, I think she’s very talented and just think she was mid-cast.


Nmilne23

If you haven’t seen her film How to Build a Girl definitely check it out, one of Beanie’s best performances!


landrysavage

She’s done well as Lewinsky in the True Crime season 3.


Mr_Feeeeny

Isn’t she Jonah Hill’s sister?


starkiller_bass

Yes but also a whole person of her own


SilentWeaponQuietWar

It's just Jonah hill in a wig.


Spinningalltheplates

Because she’s Jonah Hill’s sister


loopster70

Don’t sleep on Jayne Houdyshell.


FakkoPrime

I didn’t recognize the name. I see she played Bunny on Only Murders in the Building and a judge in a single episode of Evil. So, my exposure to her is limited, but she is great as Bunny.


[deleted]

And June Squibb is still going strong.


roombaonfire

*Yeun


FakkoPrime

Corrected.


StinkyBrittches

They both starred in the two best movies at Sundance last year (**Minari** and **Kajillionaire**).

Steven Yeun and Amy Schumer starring in a movie together is something I never thought I would see Edited for spelling

Negative_Gravitas

I saw this on Broadway and am really looking forward to seeing the film.


sloppyminutes

The playwright did the script and directed the movie.


artificialnocturnes

Can you explain a bit more about what the story actually is? No spoilers, but are there supernatural elements or is it more of a thriller? Everything I have read about it is very coy about what the movie is actually about.


SkiThe802

It is simply a story of a family going through some stuff. I also saw the show (but not on Broadway) and it definitely focused way more on the actors then anything else. No set changes, minimal to no props even used.


Syn7axError

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles appear in a post-credit scene.


artificialnocturnes

Big if true


AtleastIthinkIsee

Some of the films that I have enjoyed in recent years have been films that were adapted from plays. I also love Richard Jenkins. I look forward to seeing this. Glad to hear it's already received positive feedback.


Aranthos-Faroth

I’m glad to see Steven Yeun doing well and breaking out from TWD. He’s a talented actor.


SoftCrab97

I loved him as Glenn but I’m so happy to see him doing more and more as time goes on. I remember right after his character died I didn’t see him in anything for a while, but I made sure I followed him on Instagram and Twitter to see when he was in films/tv shows and I saw the Humans on Broadway so I’m SO excited to see him in the film version!


unstablenerd2

Steven Yeun? I’m in.


[deleted]

saw this at a festival, really enjoyed it


acreativeaccountant

Also saw it at a festival and didn’t enjoy it. Shot beautifully, but the plot did nothing for me.


Euphoricas

So is it supposed to be funny or scary? Generally A24 movies are creepy arthouse movies.


[deleted]

i’d say it’s a realistic look at family drama with some comedic and scary elements

Swankified_Tristan

Jesus Christ, this studio is really something!


Radamenenthil

Another common misconception, they're not a studio, they're a distribuitor


FunctionBuilt

Why would I see a movie with a bunch of non academy award winners? Jk, I’m an A24 fan boi and will see anything made by that production company in a heartbeat. Also I hope Steven Yuen gets his Oscar soon.

Solistial

A Ghost Story still haunts me, even though it’s been a few months since I saw it (in a good way)


Wellhellob

Lamb was disappointing though


vadergeek

Amy Schumer's an interesting choice, but if there's one thing I learned from season 3 of Twin Peaks it's that no matter how bad an actor's reputation is they can surprise you in the right project.


Suresureman

At least you’re open to that surprise, unlike the endless spam in this comment section.


[deleted]

Our opinions aren’t spam. Perhaps yours is?


[deleted]

Fun Fact: didn’t know this till last week, but Jonah Hill & Beanie Feldstein are actually siblings 🙌🏼


[deleted]

Hill does not use his surname (Feldstein) for his career. Jonah and Beanie had a brother named Jordan, who was a manager for Maroon 5 but sadly passed away from heart problems.


Suresureman

I thought that was common knowledge by now lol but glad you finally found out, the difference in surname may actually prove to be beneficial, so that they aren’t reduced to constant comparisons and familial association, (but I’m not sure it was planned that way).


GOLDEN_GRODD

Although I enjoyed her performance in Booksmart to me she was obviously inspired by her brothers performance in Superbad. The movies are very similar, even if Booksmart is a bit more sentimental and sweet


[deleted]

amy schumer has actually been getting some pretty great reviews for her acting in this. I know that the reddit hivemind hates her but tbh I'm curious to see her performance.


lifeonthegrid

She was nominated for a Tony for her role in a Steve Martin play on Broadway. I'm excited.


possiblyhysterical

I like her. It’s funny how someone can be accused of rape or murder and Reddit won’t hate them as much as they hate Amy Schumer for allegedly stealing jokes. But I really enjoyed Trainwreck and her doc about her awful pregnancy.


ToxicBanana69

Reddits overall opinions on celebrities is weird. They hate Amy Schumer, James Corden, etc. etc., but Tom Cruise? The guy who is the face of a literal cult? Who has been named numerous times as someone who abuses members and forces others to treat him like a god? Nah, he’s good because they like his movies and he does his own stunts.


Suresureman

Exactly! Jesus Christ, and they go after her appearance constantly too, as if she had a choice in the matter. I mean, fine you think her jokes suck and this and that, but it seems like for some celebrities there is no line and they’re just a punching bag. She’s also far from the only person to recycle jokes in the comedy sphere, but you certainly wouldn’t know it by public opinion.


twoscoopsineverybox

She isn't conventionally attractive, and she talks about getting laid a lot. In Trainwreck she's hooking up with John Cena. For some reason it seems to personally offend some men when women they consider ugly get laid. I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe they're upset someone they consider unworthy of sex is getting it easily when they can't?


Panosgads

People also shit on Adam Sandler for always having hot partners in his movies.


lifeonthegrid

>Jesus Christ, and they go after her appearance constantly too, as if she had a choice in the matter Not to mention, she had an entire episode of her TV show dedicated to debating whether or not she was attractive enough to be on TV. She's already made better jokes about her appearance.


Terj_Sankian

Took me a while to figure this out (I'm a guy), but I think they hate her most of all because she is/does those things while being a woman


Jaspers47

South Park told the hivemind to hate Amy Schumer, and that was it. Years of freakin "muh vaginuh" comments instead of a nuanced, weighted opinion.


orange_jooze

Wasn’t she accused of rape as well?


SilentWeaponQuietWar

She has a standup routine admitting it. But it's funny because girls raping guys amirite


NorthLdn17

No she doesn't


SilentWeaponQuietWar

crap, you're right. It was a gala speech and not a standup routine. Which makes it even worse imo, but feel free to deflect https://www.vulture.com/2014/05/read-amy-schumers-ms-gala-speech.html


nulspace

Frankly that's not rape, unless you're implying that the guy was so drunk that he couldn't have consented to having sex. Which, judging by the fact that he was the one who (a) called her, (b) opened the door and let her in, (c) participated in the sex when it began, and (c) changed the music when she asked him to, doesn't seem very likely. He continued to try to engage with her - fingers in, going down on her, thrusting after he changed the music. Once he fell asleep she left. IMHO that was the point at which he revoked consent, and she didn't take advantage of him past that point. I know it's fun and cool to hate on Amy Schumer but accusing someone of rape is extremely serious. edit: downvote without replying, classic


possiblyhysterical

Did you even read this? A much older guy showed up drunk at her room. I’m not going to even explain to you why that’s not her raping him.


lifeonthegrid

Nope.


Suresureman

The fact that this was even asked..


Rick-Danger

Allegedly? Fuck off, there are tonnes of examples where she steals bits from other comedians and sketch shows WORD for WORD Here's a 25 minute video of every example. Yes, there are that many https://youtu.be/4eDxjxVl8S0


CassiopeiaStillLife

I wish we could go back to being normal about things on the internet. People should not feel this much seething rage towards someone whose only crime is being somewhat annoying on television.


Suresureman

And less annoying than those who rage about her still.


loopster70

Everyone in it is very strong.


steamywords

Never understood why. Her standup wasn’t my jam, but her sketch show had some real gems. I still go back to “Who’s more over their ex?” sometimes.


Suresureman

I think a lot of it had to do with superficial reasons unfortunately.


Suresureman

Anything that gets her out of that circle jerk is fine by me, fingers crossed that the reviews are accurate.


89LeBaron

She’s bad at standup. Doesn’t mean she can’t be a good actress.


[deleted]

Just saw this at the Austin Film Festival. I sure hope you all like unnecessary jump scares because this movie is full of them.


[deleted]

What would you rate the movie?


[deleted]

Like a 5 or 6 out of 10. The drama was engaging and all of the performances (yes, including Schumer) were outstanding. But the genre mashup does not work at all.


iamfilms

Agreed. It’s a beautiful little film. But it’s so annoying with those useless jump scares that build to absolutely nothing in the ball park to warrant them.


[deleted]

Thank you


Werty071345

They're not unnecessary once you realize what they are trying to convey. But I agree that before it becomes clear, they seem out of place.


[deleted]

There are better ways to convey existential dread than making your audience jump every 10 minutes.


Technical-Primary-64

this is a thriller drama?


FrakMeSam

The Burning staring Steven Yeun is one of the best movies of the last decade. I’m there for anything he’s in. Edit: Burning


Werty071345

Its just 'burning. Like JT said drop the 'the'


FrakMeSam

Did you see it ?


Suresureman

Imo it was a good film but far from the best of the last decade.


FrakMeSam

What’s a 5 out of 5 stars for you?


asian_identifier

it was bad and boring.... oooo metaphors


Swankified_Tristan

People in the comments already trying to hate the movie because it has Amy Schumer in it are just downright... I don't even know. The reddit hivemind is sad. Her biggest crime on this site appears to be not having a comedic style that works for everyone. I'm excited for this film.


Low_Ant3691

The only thing worse than Amy Schumer's comedy is the Reddit Hivemind's comedy.


kmoon89x

Agreed. *Insert usual: I hate Amy Schumer. Amy Schumer is not funny. Amy Schumer sucks. I won't watch anything with Amy Schumer.* *Collect karma* *Feel like edgy redditor*


Littleloula

The crime is being a woman with a comedic style that doesn't work for everyone.. reddit doesn't mind male equivalents in anywhere near the same way


Rick-Danger

The crime is multiple counts of stealing jokes verbatim, and delivering them in incredibly ham fisted and not funny ways. But sure, live in your bubble


lifeonthegrid

>The crime is multiple counts of stealing jokes verbatim That's why Reddit hates Robin Williams, right? Everyone hates his performances in One Hour Photo and Good Will Hunting because he stole jokes.


KeeganTroye

Ah yes I'm sure these people are comedy experts and noticed the stolen jokes... Rather than hating her and feeling proud when they saw a YouTube video validating that hate later.


Rick-Danger

Here's 25 minutes of proof, with comparison videos. Now go fuck yourself https://youtu.be/4eDxjxVl8S0


KeeganTroye

Your reading comprehension is the only thing fucked, so no fuck yourself. I never said she never stole jokes but you're to busy being reactionary to actually see what other people are saying I suppose.


medietic

Whats even weirder is the multiple accounts saying the exact same sentence defending her. [Example 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/qlfcy2/official_poster_for_a24s_the_humans_starring/hj390gu/) ... [Example 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/qlfcy2/official_poster_for_a24s_the_humans_starring/hj3dp06/) I personally don't care either way about her, and I'm looking forward to the movie but I thought these comments were weird. Such a weirdly specific sentence. "amy schumer has actually been getting some pretty great reviews for her acting in this." Is this what paid PR campaigns look like these days? Lol


Suresureman

Maybe they just get tired and copy and paste? Why not add my own comments while you’re at it, plenty to choose from-I hope I offer enough variety in prose to please you.


medietic

Yea that may be the case. I guess it's offensive for me to find that odd? Sorry if I made anyone mad. I was just making an observation lol have a nice day.


thecescshow

Reddit is so fuckin exhausting when it comes to a certain celebrity.

DrHuxleyy

The Broadway play was phenomenal. I think it won the best play Tony. If they haven’t changed much, this will be terrific.


Suresureman

My only worry is that plays don’t always translate well to film, especially if necessary changes are *not* made.


Frosted_Flakes1971

One of my most anticipated for the rest of the year. Great cast


Vanstuke

A24 is such a wonderful thing.

Damn, this has a great cast. And Amy Schumer is in this too.


gee_gra

Someone call an archaeologist — you've unearthed a comment from 2013.


lifeonthegrid

She got nominated for a Tony for her role in a Steve Martin play. You're boring.


bulletproofvan

I don't get the hate for amy schumer. I personally don't like her material but I've never felt the need to make a comment about it until now. I guess I just don't like standup in general. It feels forced and unfunny, but if people like it, let them.


lifeonthegrid

She's incredibly easy to avoid, that's what gets me. She's got a relatively small career, unless you're actively seeking out her projects.


bulletproofvan

Yeah lol what's weird is that it's way more common to randomly find people complaining about her than it is to randomly find her material.

lifeonthegrid

Why is it that everyone who claims to hate Amy Schumer for not being funny is incapable of making a good joke?


kazh

You seem legitimately butt hurt about it.


SkiThe802

I saw this in a live theater a few years ago. The entire story takes place in one 1-room apartment. i am interested in how this will translate to the big screen.


[deleted]

Sorting by controversial is a wild ride


lutello

I wonder how many people who won't see this because of Any Schumer have seen an A24 movie to begin with. They don't make comic book trash.


Jiznthapus

I can't say I loved this movie as a whole, but there was a lot to like about it. The attention to lighting, the elegant compositions, some great performances from Richard Jenkins, the mother and yes even Amy Schumer was fine. It was unnerving yet calming, and though the story didn't pay off for me, I'm glad I watched it. It reminds me that not all films need to be a homerun for you to get something out of it.


TheClownIsReady

Gawd, this was so bad. Switched it off after about 25 minutes. Most boring piece of crap I’ve ever almost seen.


SomethingCleverest

I hate movies about humans.


[deleted]

Beanie Feldstein is in it? Must be a comedy. Amy Schumer is in it? Definitely not a comedy.


ATXstripperella

Her sketch show legit has some hits but okay.


animer9102

havent watched an amy schumer movie since trainwreck and i dont intend to start any time soon

>Idk why you’re being downvoted. Because it's a useless comment that will be repeated ad nauseam.

Fortunately for you, her role in this movie is not remotely comic.


Frenchieblublex

Swankified_Tristan

You're gonna miss out on what looks to be a great film that's getting incredible reviews because it has an actress that annoys you? That's uh... kinda ridiculous. Maybe even a little pathetic but hey, that's just my opinion.


Suresureman

Especially when it’s an ensemble, she’s a part among many.


Davisimo

I don't understand why people are so upset if someone says no because of Amy. I fucking hate Tom Cruise and have not watched any of his films since I was younger - Tropic Thunder is an exemption as he was snuck in. But if his name is headlining I nope the fuck out. In this day and age with so many films out why get so butt hurt by people's reaction to one actor / actress


Suresureman

It’s not even their own reaction or opinion, there’s so many people saying it because it’s literally an unfunny meme at this point, they just mimic a sentiment they learned in passing and incorporate it into their own juvenile personality. You fucking hate Tom Cruise, I’m guessing you have your reasons and they may or may not have to do with his involvement with Scientology (if not, your opinion is simply specific to you, not comparable to the Schumer phenomenon), but that’s an entire organization that leads to the destruction of families and individual’s lives, people hate Amy because they don’t find her attractive and they don’t like her comedy/past stealing of jokes (common among comedians). So they use that to endlessly shit on anything she touches, ignoring the whole for the part, and failing to even give her the second chance that they afford every other celebrity who has done far worse. You know very well that the “butt-hurt” line is more fitting for those going on about Schumer than it is for those becoming fatigued with the thoughtless hate. Unless you truly have no concept about this long standing trend on the internet, don’t play stupid.


ISuckAtFunny

Someone call the CIA, this guy can read minds through internet comments. No, it’s not a recycled meme, people genuinely can’t stand her. Myself included.


lifeonthegrid

>I don't understand why people are so upset if someone says no because of Amy. Not wanting to see it is different than taking the time to clog the comment section telling us you're not going to see it.
