/wlg/ The White Lotus General

What the fuck

Just rewatched Mike White's previous HBO series Enlightened, from the early 2010s. Worth watching if you haven't seen it. He should bring Luke Wilson back for this show.

I hope she eats a carrot at some point before the finale

Bless you for this. I knew I recognized the face, but didn't bother to look into it. That's pretty funny.

oh damn, is he holding a gun to his head? Fucking intense

OH SHIT he fucking offed himself

Damn look at all that blood, oh shit his wife is FREAKINg out, everyone is panicking!

Naa just kidding. He was just imagining it

FUCK you. This is garbage writing for cheap shocks. Don't ever fucking do this unless it's clearly obvious that the character is imagining this scenario

I actually forgot who Mike White was between seasons. Kinda makes it even better to know it's this goofy mf from School or Rock at the helm.

he was also ben's father on Lost

Reply to this with your top 3 predictions of who will die, I want to see if there is a consensus. Mine are

Gaitok

Greg

Belinda

yeah that part was unusually cheap for this show. hopefully that doesn’t become normal in future seasons.

I just remember him from Survivor where he probably would have won if he wasn't already rich

I think this was a meme for a hot minute

She's never had detailed fantasies about shooting herself in the head and what the immediate fallout might look like

Seemed pretty realistic to me

Nic Cage is in S4 of White Lotus

gaitok

valentin

vlad

Just when I thought it couldn't get more kino

anyone with some experience watching white lotus knew that was a dream. episodes always start slowly, with people waking up for the new day.

nothing ever happens in the morning.

No, but I could see somebody like Fred Armisen.

Cast Travolta, too. Face/Off reunion 30 years later. Plus Lochy's real-life dad played Pollux.

Imagine believing it was real when the scene had that same ridiculously blue filter from the Victoria tsunami dream and there's parts from the trailer with Tim we're yet to see

Also it's way to show the audience that possibility because now it's definitely not gonna happen but feels more real

Travolta would kill it on White Lotus
I feel like I'm the only person who LOVED his portrayal of Robert Shapiro in the OJ miniseries

Looks line an Oliva Cooke clone with some Bugs Bunny genes spliced in

Lochlan or Saxon through suicide or murder.
No major character dies from the actual shooting, just literally who's(russians, sritala's bodyguards)

An apple a day keeps the dentist away.

Body is teeth girl

post who you wanna see in season 4

Mike white is a hack

I don't want teethfu to die, I'm manifesting her survival.

dubs and teefu dies

I'm just stoned and thinking to myself - it would be amazing if he managed to fit his buddy Jack Black into this universe.

Seems to me an almost impossible task to introduce that energy with such a recognizable figure. But say for example he was a shy, timid character, or maybe even a mute. Just use the man in the opposite way anyone else ever would.

I say this as somebody who hasn't watched any of the corporate schlock Jack's pumped out lately. Probably wouldn't even consider myself a 'fan' at this point. But something about the contrast intrigues me, simply noting the past relationship with Mike White.

Misdirect. Lochlan means lake and there's all the water symbolism around him, crocodile clothes, deprivation tank, tsunami obsession, etc. he's also drifting in life and Sam describes his character as "go with the flow"

He's not the body

I'm manifesting her death to cancel out you manifesting her survival

Reddit tier dream casting ideas

Kill me now

1717

does that count?

saxbros..

Willem Defoe
Aaron Eckhart
James McAvoy
Jeremy Strong

For the coombait I'd want:
Emma Roberts
Victoria Pedretti
Kaya Scodelario
Jodie Comer
maybe Jenna Ortega if her schedule will allow it

this season should have been only 6 eps long. If they trimmed the fat(not belinda) this would have been better than s1

he could be a repressed manager but I don’t think he would work as a guest. not really sure he has the acting chops to be in this show at all.

dubs and greg kills everyone at the party and himself because hes bored of living and wants to go out with a bang

dubs and everyone in this thread watching the next ep dies

She's so cool

Dubs and Pam dies. Goodnight sweet princess

i've grown to like her

I'm pretty sure Chelsea is dying. Dubs should confirm

He could play a depressed failed comedy actor who lost the will to live because the public is sick of him.

dubs and mooks penis is bigger than gaitoks

Is Timothy just going to change his identity and join the monastery too?

Everyone he's talked to has convinced him to kill his family, even Pam helped

too

If anything it will be just him. Piper doesn't have what it takes

I just feel like him going postal would be too predictable now

I hope gaitok shoots loccys head off

loses his hair when he moves from a small town to Los Angeles

it's starting to look that way. the monk's words resonated with him because everything he achieved only brought him more pain, not happiness. and he also realized his family is awfully prepared for life, they need a cold shower to wake up. him not taking care of everything might be the catalyst.

Jennifer Coolidge
Mikey Madison
Amanda Fix

is this shit actually good? It only has an 8 on IMDb that means most episodes are mediocre at best

Mikey would have been kino but she's too famous now

yellowstone has an 8.6 on imdb and it's pure slop

Yeah, and you're lucky to have two whole seasons to binge already

to be fair, you need somewhat of a high IQ to enjoy a show like the white lotus.

it really does deal with some complex themes and issues such as jerking off your brother

someone post the goggin agp reaction webms i forgot to save them
preferably without text or the other guy

travolta plays a heavily repressed closeted gay man

get him on the phone STAT

found what seems to be Tanya foreshadowing her own death to Belinda in s1. in Asia, with a cyanide pill, on top of a hill (greg's house). have no idea why I saved this.

Belinda confirmed poisoned next week.

My tinfoil hat intro symbolism.

intro has a crocodile swimming towards the white swan in a predatorial manner.

loccy wears crocodile motifs and clothing, kept on noticing it

swan is show in the intro next to piper

he already essentially sexually assaulted his older brother

he was reaaaaaally interested to know if piper was a virgin or not

super eager to spend the night with her where they most likely share a bed.

The buddhism bit resonated with me, doesn't matter what I've done in life, doesn't matter how much security I've built up - suffering changes shape and finds me anyway. No point trying so hard to avoid it anymore.

She could have just said, “and we’re not soulmates” but she had to be a bitch and say he has no soul

saxon is a giant fag and deserves to have cute women make fun of him

Reddit take. Saxon is based

Greg knew. he's been plotting everything for a while. it looks Saxon's pain is not about to slowdown. poor fella, can't get a break.

Teef isn't a nice person

laurie is my wife

has anyone found goggin's fucking SICK hawaiian shirt yet
i must have it

name literally one bad or mean thing she did (teasing saxon doesn't count because he's a brodouche)

Not have sex with me

None of the main characters are nice

wrong

Napoleon Dynamite is 21 years old

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

go to a store, look around and buy what you like. if you can't find it, don't buy anything or keep going to different stores.
why buy something you saw on a tv show, it makes no sense. you don't even know if it looks good on you.

that wasn’t teasing. that was being nasty

Forget it, you won't look as cool as him. I've come to accept that now, just find your own style.

nigger i am an adult and i already own several hawaiian shirts. i want that one because i KNOW it will look good on me
fag

she clocked him from their first encounter when he tried the old "know where to get a drink around here?" line on her

yet she's still sweet enough to chill with him at the full moon party because she isn't a cunt

he just found the right store and bought a bunch of them. you shouldn't make it harder than it is.

This anon is right, she wasn’t even rude to him when he first sat next to her this ep, but then he brought up hooking up with her again for like the 10th time, she was just trying to shut him down for good

noooo how dare you be snarcky to the douchey sexpest

yeah that's a fat nothingburger to me dog

even when she rejected him in this scene she did it nicely

I don't get it

Bad luck and danger comes in threes

maybe something that she doesn't want to share? Chloe is happy to cheat on greg but chelsea is fiercely loyal to Rick

Do s1 and s2 have character payoffs from the opening credits?

yes

she's not trying to hurt, she's being straightforward, like she always is.
Chloe was more hurtful, because she was aiming at it.

so yeah your sons fucked my girl and then jerked each other off

How do you realistically respond?

I mean here's the s1 credits

youtube.com/watch?v=l2wj6lJtg_8

Jake Lacy's character is a chameleon? Shane was pretty upfront and wasn't two-faced or duplicitous

Sydney Sweeney is a snake? She didn't do anything snake-like, her friend stole from the family and then lied about it

sydneys character was a cunt on day one, yes a snake. jakes guy was old money and he blended in with the luxury life more than anyone else, even tanya. or you might say he was playing the nice loving husband but was a spoiled brat.

s2 is more evident. pretty much every character is related to the background. s1 they were just flirting with the idea.

they’re definitely in love

Goggins talked about how he was miserable the entire time, he method acted a bit too hard. He tells how Aimee would be like I wanna hang out with you but you're draining all the energy so I'm gonna hang out with the others

Lochy was like "oh cool I'll go to the monastery with sis"

That's because he didn't remember until he was there you dumbass

Greg is gonna fuck Saxon in the ass. Saxon's ass is going to be an express lane this season.

Lochlan's going to try and fuck his sister.

She may seem nice but she is preying on Goggins for his money and loneliness. The three dogs are her three encounters with death.

Lochy remembers, he just claims he blacked out because he doesn't want to talk to Saxon about it

boner

Chelsea/Aimee Lou is the most amazing person you'll ever meet, but it is true, she's a bit a drainer, like a vampire. she will suck all the energy out of you because she has too much of it, and costs her nothing. just to keep up, you'll be exhausted and she'll be like "what? come on, let's go!".

good company, but in moderation.

What exactly does pornchai see in belinda

ok coomer

BBTs

Imagine her and Felicity Jones kissing

Mommy energy. He probably hangs out all the time with bitchy stick figure Thai whores. He's over their bullshit. She comes along and is sweet, uncomplicated, and equally lonely.

Juicy sister pussy

sussy

Take more Lorazepam and fantasize about killing my my family.

prophetic

I wonder which chair shot did it

ive seen the last 2 eps

do not hover this spoiler if you dont want to know

piper dies

we gonna get some degenerate sam rockwell kino next ep. looks like hes falling off the wagon

body had dark skin and short dark hair

Goggins' first wife killed herself and he literally went to Thailand while spiraling. I'm sure filming in Thailand and playing a depressed character brought up some bad memories

Is that a mega pint?

Can someone explain the incest family to me?

The brothers are acting disgusted but they’ve been doing really sus shit the entire season like talking about jerking off, walking around naked in eachtohers presence, making out. Even the sister and younger brother are weird. What’s being implied exactly? The parents molested them? Why are these 3 siblings so fucking odd?

Also I love Walton’s character, dude is my spirit animal.

take what you desire? just like that? thanks for the advice, litbro

protec pip

Weird way to write Pornchai.

The French chick is definitely going to kill greg

neither parent pays attention to what happens between the kids, the dad because he's always preoccupied with business stuff, the mom because she chooses not to see to cope with life.
they came out weird. Pipes is the only one that can sense something is wrong and is trying to escape.

Saxon has some older brother motivation where he wants to see Lochy be more like him, as he perceives himself to be an alpha male

Piper is a quintessential "rich girl who is annoyed that she's rich" type, I used to have an ex just like her.

I thought there might have been some molestation in the first couple episodes but I doubt it, Tim was too busy working and Victoria was too busy drugging

isnt it obvious belinda dies? the shooting scene in ep 1 shows her floating facedown the river right?

I don't have a brother but if I did, I dont think talking about jerking off, him seeing my ass or even jerking off near each other would be all that bad. Touching a family members penis is when it gets disgusting.

I think you needed to be selling coke in Hawaii in the 80s to get one.

Male hair, male body, stop shitting the thread disingenuous tranny

Depp would fit this show effortlessly

i hope he creampies her and then have retarded buddhist babies together

you cant fault her for cheating. he's too hot

Remember the scene about Saxon's massage and then him complaining how it sucked because it had no happy ending?

Bravo Mike White!

when will frogfu and teefu have a series or film together?

Chelsea is so pure and good, I heard she was also in a Monty Python ripoff. Is there anything else that Aimee is good in, ideally with a similar pure wholesome characterization?

can someone post a cap of the body so we can dissect it?

Mike White giving us our cake and letting us eat it too

thank you Mike

She nearly dies for a third time, even flatlines, but Rick resuscitates her--in the process, sacrificing his chance to avenge his father's death

what a skittish creature

she looks like a bunny human hybrid

Sam Rockwells character- most confident in this
Bodyguards for diva
Gaitok

Looks like Tim, Saxon, Rick, or Gaitok to me

This image could be used in a PSA if you just overlay text that reads “the dangers of mewing. Talk to your kids about looksmaxing before it’s too late”

I hope Lochlan fucks Piper, she feels horrified, her and Saxon bond over getting taken advantage of, then fucks too. Incest full send let's go.

literally just look up "The White Lotus S3 Walton Goggins Hawaiian Shirt blue" I found a site selling it for $58 in two minutes

Why did Crispin Wah do it bros

lochlan is gay and wants fuck saxon

thanks anon
im gonna buy it before that other guy does

rape is always about power

he wants to fuck them both to establish his position as the superior sibling

“The first island we were staying on,” he says, “I realized, I’ve been on this road before.
And then the next island we went to, I realized, I’ve definitely been on this beach
before. I know this boardwalk. And all of the things kept coming back.”
It all came to a head on Goggins’s last night of shooting, which took place in Bangkok
on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.
“We pulled up to this dock, Alex,” Goggins says, “and I was like, I know this dock.
What? Okay. Yeah. No. I know this. Oh my God. That’s the room I stayed in 20 years
ago. That’s my balcony. That’s where I was the very first day I came here, 20 years
ago, and in so much fucking pain, man.
“We got out of the boat,” he says, “and that’s where we were filming, man—all of the
equipment was literally right in front of the hotel that I’d picked 20 years ago on the
internet, on this little bitty road in this little bitty neighborhood.”
“I don’t know,” he says. “I think I haven’t had the time to fully unpack the symmetry
between those two people showing up at the same place, separated by 20 years. And a
wife and a kid and peace and all the rest of it.”
Did you feel like you were the same guy who’d stood on that balcony?
“I mean, I thought about that on the day,” Goggins says. “I thought, God, I wish I could
hug that guy. I wish I could whisper in his ear, You’re going to be okay. Life continues,
and it continues for everybody if you can just hold on and lean into it and keep walking
the walk that you’re walking, and keep looking for the answers.””

are you retarded? lochlan is not power hungry in the slightest.

Now who’s retarded?

he's the scheming psycho type

if he shows them who's boss now they won't fight him over inheritance

Lochlan is not fucking Piper, he fucked Saxon because that was Saxon's way/philosophy. Now he's gonna try the sister's approach of detachment.

Since he took Saxon's philosophy to the extreme the extreme version of the detachment approach might be suicide...

I'd bury my face in this.

He's gonna detach himself from seeing Piper as a sibling and he's going to explore his demented urges on everyone in range. Lochlan is a predator.

based mortician

makes sense. he'll mirror her, but what he'll take from her is her passion. she's kind of in love with him. it's striking how differently she treats him.
something will happen between the two, probably just cuddling stuff, but something.

And it mirrors Rockwell's story of how after taking total depravity and promiscuity to the max he turned to buddhism

No

I think it's pornchai

Zion doesn't know any of the others but he did walk in on pornchai waking up next to his mom, that's why he has a visceral reaction to it

i think its the rest of tanya's corpse finally washed ashore

I've been watching the first season, it's generally pretty good and feels "topical" to the Trump era zeitgeist without feeling forced. If you like dark humor that comes from awkward situations and interpersonal tensions you'll like it

Swearing at her dad over the jacket potato line

post that shot of armond sitting on the couch zooted out of his gourd staring lecherously at dillon before he gets him onboard the crust train

That shot where Loch possessively grabs Saxon's head while watching the fireworks at the beach was creepier than the handy itself

why? I think the big revelation was when he said "I'm gonna bring you down" and then voraciously took the pill from Chloe's hand. everything after that was just expected.

Those were just words with the potential to be way into the future or not even literal. When he grabs him he's sealing the deal with an action, it was basically a "you're mine now"

i just rewatched it. he just rubbed the back of his head and back, schizo.

hint of incest (seen already)

truly satanic gay plot: probably Greg as posted here

Saxon at the end of both plots. I know he's unlikable, but seriously Mike? what did the poor retard do to deserve this?

It is.
Literally wears the same uniform.

zion would have a different reaction if it was belinda he ran from it

I see what you mean, but for me, it was the way he looked him in the eye and revealed himself saying that. eye to eye is worth a lot more in terms of power dynamics, that's when you can look into one's soul.

Why are you so obsessed with transsexuals?

because it's us against them
trump for life baby!

loch is pretty cute. I could see why saxon made out with him.

collider.com/the-white-lotus-season-3-possible-death-rick-belinda-saxon/

this article refers to the shooting scene as sniper fire but the in the scene whoever shooting is just shooting everywhere indiscriminately, i think the ep1 body is just some random worker,maybe pornchai. gary mass shooting arc?

or why Piper desires him

I rewatched the scenes. At first there's just two gunshots, Zion and a monkey look around like "wtf was that"

~20 seconds later there's more gunshots and more frequent,

Do you guys think that after Lachlan jerked off Saxon, he sniffed his hand afterwards?
I know I would. The smell of sweaty dick and balls is euphoric.

Why don't real women dress like this?

they do in sex cults and mormon churches in utah

they do. she's upper class. but I see the middle class or lower class equivalents every day. she's a simple girl, it's very common.

Those dresses were common in 2007

She should play Billy the kid.

wtf did the two brothers do the deed

it was more like the gay younger one took advantage of his drugged up older brother and molested him.

wincest is only fukken coolest when it father daughter NOT brothers that just disgusting

took advantage

I mean younger bro was drunk/drugged too so hard for me to condemn him too much
like yeah obviously he had the desire and acted on it but he clearly wasn't sober given he only started remembering shit through meditation

is it nattie?

the shot of his ass is few seconds after, and it's pretty disappointing.
this guy's ass is 10/10

Assuming that was ecstasy, definitely

Plus Saxon was just laying back and enjoying it. I can’t buy into the full blown manipulative psychopath theory. They both did things they regretted under the influence. Wouldn’t even be weird if they weren’t brothers

desu I don't think Lochy boy actually regrets it that much but otherwise I agree

that just means that it was consensual, Saxon didn't put a stop to it. but Loch knew what he was doing and that his brother was emotionally vulnerable. poor guy was horny all week and when the day arrived he was turned down.

Yeah probably, he wasn’t shy about the eye fucking in the beginning
That’s what I mean. Just two guys consenting in the moment and going too far. Saxon is the older brother and he shouldn’t have let it happen if he didn’t want it

sniper fire

you mean like, from the top of the hill?

can he be fixed? if teefu can't do anything what can?
I got the feeling the little meeting with the other guy won't help him, he's gonna feel as empty as when he arrived to Thailand.

Anyone else get the vibe that when Pornchai suggested that he and Belinda start a massage parlor she acts a bit suspicious? Then he notices her getting suspicious and clarifies that the business would be in Thailand i.e. "I'm not angling for a green card." To me it felt like it paralleled Belinda's relationship to Tanya in season 1 and Belinda is worried that maybe she's now the rich woman who has someone else's dreams in her hands.

is this show good it looks like green Ozark

Lochlans ass is so flat :(

riiight. when I first saw it, i knew then and there, it was not gooning material.

wait, we didnt see loch's ass. I was talking about sax's hairy hank hill ass

good point. I don't think Pornchai meant it like that, but she was definitely uncomfortable, she saw herself in the position of being taken advantage of and saw in Pornchai a s1 Belinda ingratiating himself to her. probably guilty conscience, Mike hates Belinda with a passion.

I have a feeling that the man is going to be his actual dad, that he "killed his father" metaphorically. Rick is probably going to realize this and maybe the fact that his dad was alive all along but still caused all this pain is WORSE than just confronting his actual killer thus pushing him over the edge to kill him. That or he just accepts that he has something good with Chelsea and just fucks off back to her in time for her to get shot by some robbers in the last episode

Nah, in the state of mind he's in, I'm pretty sure everything the Monk said just made him accept his death.

he was hurt and he's trying to replicate that pain he felt as a child. that's why he chases him. it's nostalgia. whether it's his dad or not, it won't matter, he won't find that feeling again, and will have to satisfy himself with what he has, Chelsea. which is a good thing he has going.
I think the last time we see him, at the airport, it will be Chelsea energetically speaking and him half absent-minded, half paying attention to her.

It's great. The story sucks you in and it slowly ramps up. I watched last season and this season so far, didn't come away from an episode disappointed, especially while binging. Since it's self contained each season you don't end up with the status quo needing to be restored. It's an anthology series without reverting to a single shallow theme. In short it's not cheap. Good television.

You can be based without having a soul. Can't have everything.

“ Cyanogenic glycosides:
These are compounds that release cyanide when they are consumed. They are found in the seeds of fruits such as apples, apricots, cherries, and peaches, as well as in cassava roots, bamboo shoots, and lima beans”

So, Belinda eats the fruit from the first episode of the show?
