This is exactly what I use. Have a lifetime NZBGeek membership. Although lately I've been having issues with TV shows being nuked within a week, which is really shit.

This movie was great up to a point. The acting and cinematography were excellent
The ending really suffered from "multiple ending" syndrome and then finally went completely too out there even for me. Despite the subject matter, the film did feel grounded up until the final scene.

I still don't know how Sue would have been able to survive for as long as she did, given that nearly all the termination fluid was pumped into her.
I honestly thought she was going to die shortly after murdering Elizabeth, and then the final scenes would be newscasts about how "Beautiful rising starlet murders elderly, infirm mother," which would have tied in nicely to her excuse for being unavailable, in apparent murder-suicide

My favorite part of the movie was how off the rails bananas it went. Just fucking nuts.
That said, can’t say I’d ever repeat watching it and agree with the too many endings part.
But just WTF man

Maybe I'm just a crazy person, but I feel like literally every movie I see Margaret Qualley in is some sort of in-joke for Hollywood elites and globalist satan-worshippers.
The Substance: Clearly an allegory for adrenochrome (if it actually exists...if not, the idea of it) and Hollywood's need to stay young at any cost, worshipping at the altar of youth while simultaneously vampirically sucking the life from said youth
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood: Starlets needing to pleasure powerful men to get by, a bunch of general weird Hollywood shit
Kinds of Kindness: Wealthy elites paying other people off to kill other people, or do other abhorrent things, so they can get off, with Qualley essentially being their object
Sanctuary: Qualley plays an Ashkenazi Jewish top-level escort who does all kinds of out-there things to satisfy billionaire clients, while covertly recording them in various acts of debauchery to use as blackmail material. Very Epstein / Mossad esque
I dunno it's probably nothing

But that theme goes against how Hollywood actually operates. Or did before all the DEI yass all waman bullshit.
Starlets would be 20 somethings cast vs 40-50yo dudes.
Once a girl is in her 30s she would practically be run out of town.
Look at Pamela Anderson, one of the hottest pussies in town in her 20s. How many roles has she gotten lately? Meanwhile Brad Pitt and George Clooney are as popular as ever. The only thing that kicks older dudes out of the club is alzheimers. Look at Bruce Willis, he was practically a vegetable and still getting cast in tons of films.

Actually, once he got to his vegetable state, he was mostly staring in eastern European movies.
It's called satire bro. It generally only works when the metaphors are satirizing real phenomenon.

Margaret Qualley isn't in it, but add another one to the weird list: Watched Late Night With the Devil and it's full of references to the Bohemian Grove and owl statues and whatnot. Movie isn't subtle about it either, showcasing the idea that successful celebrities get where they are by praying to Satan in the woods of northern California. Yeah maybe it's satire but it seems more like it's just in your face "here's what we do lol"
