Elizabeth Olsen's Love & Death Apparently Sympathizes With the Killer

[shangri__la]

Elizabeth Olsen is very good in LOVE & DEATH, an otherwise terrible and tasteless show that ponders the question: what if a suburban housewife deserved to get hacked to death with an axe and her killer was the real victim all along? https://t.co/0Tv1uzWHXr

I will never understand people who have sympathy for killers.

The disconnect people have is wild. Like yes, you can understand that someone is talented, good with some people, doesn't stop them from doing something heinous.

I read that Jesse Plemons phones it in, which is wild to me because I’ve never seen him phone any performance in. like even his scenes in The Post were good

[megzzy]

I'm honestly surprised he is in this tbh
He is usually so on point with his choices.

“More effort seems to have been put in sourcing Candy’s gorgeous era-appropriate kitchen dishes than giving any character besides Candy a modicum of depth."

Please do not glamorize vintage colorful Pyrex and other bakeware. It is full of lead, cadmium, arsenic, etc. It comes off when you wash and when you cutely nest your bowls and casserole dishes. And while I’m at it, the all-caps, all-lowercase logo dichotomy is a lie, they were used interchangeably for decades before Pyrex stopped using borosilicate in its US clear glass, and the opaque, colored bakeware (opal ware, milk glass, whatever you know it as) has always been soda lime. Which is better for impact resistance anyway. Pyrex started using it in the 50s (maybe earlier?). It’s the same shit as Corelle ware.

(Maybe it sounds facetious, but imo this is totally in line with the superficiality of a show that cares about aesthetics above all. Don’t fall into their trap!)

Thanks for sharing this. I have a small collection of vintage cookware that I picked up almost 20 years ago, and while it’s always been for display only, I’m going to pick up one of those lead kits to check on them.

And snopes.com should really update their article now that health authorities have officially identified this as a concern.

I mean this legitimately: this is why I keep coming to ONTD.

So many of you guys just know so much and share such interesting information.

[staygoldpnyboy]

Oh my. I never knew. I keep Pyrex on the shelf and I’ll keep on doing that. Thanks for the psa!

I wasn't gonna watch regardless cause it didn't look interesting to me but honestly I'm surprised by this. The trailers didn't make me think the show would be sympathizing with Elisabeth's character at all

[jojito]

Same, she seemed very creepy in the trailer.

i still need to watch, but if they're going for a "this is candy's interpretation on the events" angle, then i can get them showing her victim as shrill and awful because it's from candy's perspective; however, i doubt the writers and the directors were being that thoughtful, sadly.
