If they’re going to pedantically and idiotically nitpick a throwaway sentence on a blog post (as if someone cataloged the entire Internet this week and determined this was objectively the cringiest moment? Get real.), then their pedantic bullshit must ALSO stand up to the same stupid scrutiny. Or GTFO.

The story this week was not about what Maxwell did, but that she was convicted. There’s absolutely nothing cringey or to make one cringe about her conviction, unless one is also a sex trafficker. That’s the case when using any definitions of the word, new or old.

There’s a difference between not understanding the idea that opinions differ and not understanding what specifically people hate about this movie. But you knew that, so why try to pick a fight about it?

I rewatched 2 and 3 (probably the third or fourth time I’ve seen both) right before I watched 4, and it really clarified for me how much better 4 is.

All I can say is: rewatch 2 and 3. MAYBE the freeway sequence in 2 is better than comparable scenes in 4, but nostalgia is a hell of a drug, my friend.

Dude, all of this is literally why they gave us the “Dismiss” button. Use it, end the back-and-forth, and move on. Nothing more satisfying than deleting the comments of someone trying to get the last word on you.

One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time, but I never found 2 and 3 particularly watchable.

You must’ve forgotten that review aggregation sites exist - critics are certainly divided on this film, but they are not “generally” panning it - about half of them totally loved it and half hated it.

Whaaaat? I think you must’ve accidentally rewatched Reloaded instead of Resurrections. I rewatched the original trilogy immediately before watching Rez, and the second movie doesn’t have a single moment of authentic character development. Everyone is wooden and terrible in it, and the third movie is barely better in

I love it, and I really have never read it as “corny.” It’s a delight through-and-through.

What’s wrong with Marshall? Jason Segel is undeniably a bit of a scumbag, but I never thought his character was awful, especially compared with everyone else on the show.

I agree 110 is way too much. 5-10 years doesn’t seem out of the question based on what he did, though. Probation only doesn’t seem appropriate.

No time at all, when he could’ve swerved off the road and admits he made a conscious choice to crash into people instead? I don’t know about that.

“Extreme indifference” is probably because he rejected a solution which would risk his health (driving the truck off the road and risking rolling it) and instead chose something that was almost certain to kill other people while keeping him safe.

You’re ignoring his third choice, which was by far the best option: pointing the truck off the road and risking rolling it. He rejected it over the *possibility* that it might roll, and instead chose an option that was *certain* to cause injury and likely to cause death.

If we’re talking about single-author works, then I’m much more willing to let your argument about creative empathy rule my reaction.

God forbid you have to ever even glance at something that doesn’t suit your personal aesthetic preferences. Would you like a blankey and a pacificier, too?

Wow, you truly are a massive crybaby. You are way, waaaay too invested in your own opinions. Put on your big-boy pants and change the channel, son. Or come up with an actual critique instead of a bunch of unsupported whining.

Whaaaat! That’s psycho. I’m troubled by this!

So your contention is that right now, no one is on the watch for dangerous CMEs? Because I think that’s demonstrably false. There are lots of early warning systems in place for extraterrestrial threats to the planet. And I’m not aware of any of them raising a false alarm for a CME.
