Having never watching any of those shows, why ? Are they not successful business and family people ?

I don't know if it's a culture thing Barnack but no, not many people respect the Kardashians, at least here in North America. Thank God they're not on pretty much every magazine cover and all over the news - they've been replaced by President Trump in that regard - anymore.

I obviously know that, my question (as I have never watched what they do) what was they were sending has a negative message into the world and setting bad example, they did seem to be successful entrepreneur with strong family values ?

 

They barely if ever made the news I watch/listen/read that seam like a made up things (or a gross exaggeration of the word news, TMZ-dailymail isn't news).

The Futurist's crusade against the snob movie (whatever the fuck that's supposed to be) is what we get for allowing mother! to bomb almost two years ago.

Ok, you won.

Snobery is a fake news I just invented.

My bad.

Someday you’re gonna realise that your snobbery rants are describing yourself better than anyone else here and hopefully you’ll get the help you need.

There are a few things, one I think is about placing importance on your looks (Kim Kardashian having massive implants for example)

Also I think people dislike them because they are "famous for being famous", i.e. they don't actually do anything of importance and yet people care about them. You might call kylie(?) jenner an entrepeneur for having a rich and valuable business but she didn't build her brand herself, they make money off of people knowing who they are.

Kim Kardashian is also well known originally (or at least one of the first things) for a sex video.

 

And they became famous in the first place because the Kardashians were the legal team defending OJ Simpson.

It's pretty bad that when I saw the trailer for this, one of my first thoughts was 'Futurist's going be hate-jerking to this all over the forum'.

It's fitting for the movie with lots of actual jerking.

Bitch. If people supported Aronofsky's religious allegory, all your auteur films would've been hits. Booksmart, Midsommar, the whole fuckin gang would've been 100M grossers. But nah, instead y'all decided to see Disney flicks.

 

Now, Willem Dafoe going full on Captain Ahab? That will make money. Don't disappoint me, casuals.

This does not absolve you. 🤨

I never knew I needed William Dafoe sounding like Horatio McCallister from the Simpsons.   And yet....here we are.

Bingo. Thank you for summing up all this. I meant to reply to Barnack with some of the things you mentioned but I forgot to get around to it. 

 

And "famous for being famous" is exactly the phrase I was going to use. That's how most people think of them and that's why I called them the most useless of all the rich people in the world. They really offer nothing of substance, which is okay - not everyone is required to be a saint - if you're not absolute media attention whores.

Wasn't the biggest fan of The Witch. Hopefully this one delivers. It looks promising.
