5:30 PM EST, 5:30 AM CHINA, 11:30 PM CET: Sunday's Suspense Lagniappe: Uncut Gems (2019)
(hexbear.net)
IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Blorptube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy.
For this Sunday's Suspense Lagniappe, we have Uncut Gems (2019), a crime thriller film[5] about a Jeweler named Howard Ratner in New York City's Diamond District, who must retrieve an African gem in order to pay off his debts, which are in part caused by his impulsive gambling. As the movie goes by, this descends into 2 hours of unrelenting stress as he struggles with the high stakes, and perhaps burns too many bridges along the way. If you wanna see actor Adam Sandler in a more serious role, this is the one for you. Directed and written by brothers Josh and Benny Safdie, as of now, this is the most recent duo project done by them, before their directoral split-up.
We’ll start at 5:30 PM EST on Blorptube, right here: https://blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine
Be there, comrades!

CWs for:
Sex And Nudity: Moderate
Sexual references, implied sex, kissing and brief sexting.
A woman sends her boyfriend a picture of herself in skimpy lingerie while sexting. The picture is shown in close up and her pubic hairs are visible through the underwear. The lingerie shows cleavage and she's wearing a thong so most of her buttocks are visible.
A woman unzips her skirt to reveal a tattoo of a man's name on her butt cheek. Her butt is seen in closeup.
A man is seen laying with two women in his bed who is he is kissing. A man and a woman begin kissing, then they begin to undress and lay down on a couch. Sex is heavily implied.
Not a lot of sexual stuff is seen on camera, but the dirty and vulgar nature of the film along with some of the sexual references make up this category to pretty relevant.
Sexual references.
In the background, a painting of three naked ladies can be seen, not graphic at all. After, there's a naked lady on the television, it's not focused on but you can see the outline of her breasts.
There are a lot of sexual references.
Violence And Gore: Moderate
A man gets punched in the throat, and is later hit in the nose and thrown into a fountain. Some bloody tissues are shown in the next scene as his girlfriend cleans him up.
A young man is carried out of a mine with a heavily bleeding leg injury. His bones are briefly exposed. Someone pours alcohol on the injury to cleanse it.
A man starts two fights in a nightclub, and several people are punched and manhandled.
Two men gang up on a another man, ripping his shirt and knocking him to the ground.
A man starts a fight at his daughter's school, biting one of his opponents and leaving a mark before being forcefully stripped naked and thrown into the trunk of a car.
A man is clubbed in the back as he runs away. We see a large mark later.
A man is held out of a window and threatened to be dropped. A man has a colonoscopy at the beginning of the film we see footage of his colon on a screen and it is mentioned they found a polyp.
There isn't a lot of violence, but the extreme intensity throughout the film is enough to warrant turning it off for some viewers. One scene of graphic violence and numerous fights and altercations with bruising and injury.
Profanity: Severe
"Fuck" is said excessively throughout with the word being said a total of 560 times. Regularly used as part of normal conversation or in scenes full of arguing or yelling. More than half of its usage comes from Adam Sandler's character.
Many other obscenities throughout including: "cock*****", "{word for prostitute}", "shit", "{english word for konyo}", "{n-word}" and "asshole".
This film (2 hours long) has some of the most extreme and perverse language of all time with it being more frequent than The Wolf of Wall Street (a 3 hour film).
646 swear words in total.
Cum was used. Blasphemy is used throughout the movie and in very serious forms as per example Je*** fuckg Ch*
Alcohol, Drugs And Smoking: Moderate
One scene where people are seen snorting cocaine in a bathroom. This is the only part where drugs are used. Some drinking, mostly in social settings along with brief smoking.
Frightening And Intense Scenes: Severe
Howard is constantly harassed by a gang of vicious loan sharks who beat him up and steal from him.
This film as a whole is EXTREMELY intense, stressful and anxiety-inducing, with overwhelming elements of tension such as people constantly shouting over each other, constant loud music, claustrophobic scenarios, and sudden violence.
The scene that takes place in the night club is very claustrophobic. Howard and The Weeknd get into a fight, this part is very tense to watch with all of the loud music in the background and indistinct shouting.
One of the most claustrophobic scenes in the movie is when Howard is clubbed and thrown into an SUV where he is constantly manhandled and has his clothes taken off by a gang of loan sharks and thrown into the trunk of a car.
The scene where Howard tries to get the door open while KG and his friends are stuck in a tight space is extremely tense. The constant yelling and buzzing is incredibly anxious.

Sharpe is pretty good (British TV 1993-1997)
(en.wikipedia.org)
Starring a young Sean 
, It's based on a british young adult napoleonic fiction series. kinda like master and commander, as far as genre. I think the youtube channel is giving it a bit of a revival (that's how I heard of it).
It's a fun show. There's not much character development, but def has themes on class and imperialism. The main character is an enlisted prole sergent that gets a field commission, so there's the tension he has with blue-blooded officers. His sergent Patrick is basically his sidekick, so there's also the tension between the irish soldiers and the anglos. Sharpe and Patrick are absolutely gay for each other !
