Well, Cookie, I’ve seen you around here since before the Dissolve Exodus and know you’re popular with the crowd who used to frequent these boards, but lately I’m starting to wonder if you’re even the same person. Because I don’t remember you being the kind of cat who didn’t at least offer up a rebuttal to why you…

Affleck and Damon made a 20 year, A-ist career out of that award.

This is what I was hoping the review would be about, how useless a remake of Death Wish starring a Sleepy Bruce Willis is. I shoulda known better in 2018.

Maybe it’s playing a perfectly fine tone and you’re the one with the hearing problems?

Strangely enough, the first Lethal Weapon isn’t so much anti gun as it’s “Pro Snapping Bad Guy’s Necks With Your Feet” over using a gun.

“Why do they call you guys, Ig & Ook?”

This is the correct take. So of course no one else has replied to it.

Nah, Trump makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.

You’re an Old Testament kind of guy, Easy.

Which is why the movie isn’t set there, like the original.

If that’s true then every goddamn city that isn’t Salt Lake City would be a dogwhistle for some kind of “Scary Ethnic Crime”. Your argument is hollow.

What the fuck are you talking about. You think the only people who’d jump in to defend violence in film are gun nuts? Are you just trying to pick a fight? Yep, that’s what you’re doing. Have fun continuing to ruin discourse in the modern world....

so the real problem is that the Chicago people on the writing staff were offended by the depiction of their beloved city? I guess they should have changed the name to Gotham.

Joe Lieberman is a God to these “liberals”. The big difference is that they only think depictions of violence are bad when it doesn’t line up with their personal political views 100%

Holy crap you are not helping at all.

no one said anything about ignoring anything. It just would be nice if the review mentioned anything about the movie that isn’t from a two sentence plot synopsis. I mean, it’s a pretty long review, more of an Op-Ed piece than review.

You see, the new Left gets confused when they’re confronted with the fact that they barely have anything to do with the values of the Left from 1915-2001 or so. This is the left that would burn George Carlin and Richard Pryor at the stake if they were around back in the 70's. Oh wait, they were. Back then they called…

Only if you’re an asshole.

why

The only thing important about Black Panther is that it’s making bank which means more Black Superheroes, which is great. Yet that’s not good enough, they have to pretend the movie is Do the Right Thing with CGI fight scenes.
