All of his commentary sounds like he’s talking during a commercial break while someone is actually right there on the screen risking their very lives... but he’s not talking about them.. there’s someone else’s training run from two weeks ago.. or was it three. doesn’t matter. nothing matters. Can I have a sandwich?

So, you’re the first I’ve heard to say that critics didn’t like the film. I assumed the question was: is BP was graded up out of white guilt or something like that.

yeah but here’s the thing: The movie just wasn’t that good. You’re right. I don’t have to be like the antagonist to ‘enjoy’ the movie. But the movie should make the characters and the situations comprehensive and plausible. It’s that whole ‘suspension of disbelief’ concept. The movie never got there. there are a…

So, in answer to the article: fuck all reviews. Art is subjective. There is no good or bad.

I think a negative review grounded in being unable to sufficiently “relate” to the scenario (or, comparatively, the lack of realism in a brain transplant scene intended to symbolize the theft of black bodies) borders on racism if not blatant racism.

No, we all get opinions. You might just be putting more meaning into mine than I am.

So.....your basis for not liking it is that you didn’t relate to it?

I should have low expectations?

I didn’t see that.

Hard to get a sense of size... when I think “mid-sized wagon” I now think “VW Alltrack” which is way smaller than my old XC70 -which drives like a boat. Altrack is perfect

Thanks. and THANKS

Jesus how paint by numbers do I have to get for you? The conversation is about white people grading “black” movies on a curve. You’re derailed by the particular movie. That’s just one PART of the subject of the conversation. Get I buy you another vowel?

K I can see that now/missed that point.. a more literal take on the hypnosis loss of control/living in a shell for someone else’s gain?

So, I think you’re saying: everyone has an opinion, but some people have an opinion with influence.

Yeah you’re missing the point.

Cool. I sincerely hope so! I really enjoyed the Dark knight series. Marvel has less success for me with ‘lets get serious!’ movies. Logan... meh. I think the tipping point for me is: pointlessly killing/destroying dozens of stand ins. When a character can just waste countless people which little effort, people lose…

And brain transplants? really? that’s 1950s “horror” movie crap worthy of Mystery Science Theater 3000. If this were an all white cast... MEH. Making the protagonists/antagonist racially different was not a leap into the next dimension. Make the men/women. Whoooooa -not 

I guess I’m just trying to address the question the article poses with the closest example I can find.

We’re talking about white people grading movies with black people on a curve. I kinda wondered the same thing when I saw Get Out because I just wasn’t like “whoa” as everyone else was and I really had to wonder the same thing the article is asking. It weighs on me when I think about seeing this movie. Marvel movies…
