Looking forward to this. His show Ramy on Hulu is pretty good. I enjoyed it, and so do the Rotten Tomatoes reviewers.

[@ChrisWehadababyitsaboy]

which means nothing lol. Rotten Tomatoes is to movie reviews as CNN is to news. They have and will get paid off by companies like Disney in the future to stop people from trashing the horrible movies they put out that cost them milllllllions sometimes even a billion to make. You are a clown if you don't know this, but openly spout your mouth like that

"Did you know New Jersey has been voted most beautiful state in the country?" Lol, no it hasn't. Hell, I would bet if you only had people from New Jersey itself vote on the most beautiful state, New Jersey STILL would not be voted the most beautiful state in the country.

Someone's jealous his state wasn't called beautiful. Fact is New Jersey is beautiful. Just ask all the New Yorkers and Pennsylvanians who live there!

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@jun6174 I'm sure New Jersey isn't as bad or as ugly as Hollywood and the internet make it sound, but all states are beautiful in some ways. I don't need other people to tell me my state is beautiful. But, New Jersey is just not the most beautiful state and no one really thinks it is.
