OK, we get it. You think its ok for women to sexually, verbally and physically abuse others.

Agreed, that would be condescending as hell. For me, the frustrating film in that regard was Black Panther. Like, a Best Picture nom? Really? It’s a good time at the movies but it’s still very much a run-of-the-mill Marvel film at the end of the day (even if it is toward the top of the pile). The word masterpiece was…

This is definitely true for captain Marvel where a lot of the positive reviews are tepidly or moderately positive resulting in a strong overall score. A movie most critics like with reservations may have a higher score than a film half love and half hate.

Its tricky to separate politics from art. Brokeback Mountain is a middling love story with beautiful visuals if you ignore the politics of the gay love story. But the fact it’s a gay love story is a huge part of it.

This is an area where Metacritic might be more relevant than RT. Lady Bird had a perfect score until one critic decided to change his rating, and it’s not because all those critics thought it was better than the classic films you’re referring to. It must means almost nobody disliked it, even if the people who liked it…

I think I get what you’re saying, and while I don’t think it does a service to give any film a pass because it’s message or subject matter is important, I don’t think that’s what happened with Get Out. Yes, the message IS important in that movie, but the reason I think it’s an amazing film is that the way in which…

According to their formula, of all the Best Picture winners in Oscar history, Moonlight is number 1. I loved Moonlight but no, emphatically no.

100% agree. This new mentality of “guilty because I said so” instead of “guilty because we proved it” is a slap in the face of due process and our so called “unalienable rights”, and is easily exploited by the ignorant. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Thank you! Peele really needs to learn how to use metaphors in a much more subtle way. As far as his attempts at horror is concerned, I haven’t seen any output of his works that would even be placed at the entrance gate leading to the path that will eventually bring him to the foothills that sit in the shadows of the…

True, I mean, historically, the ‘best films’, generally speaking, are rather critically divided initially, and their praise grows with time (as happened with many a Kubrick film).  Films that are overtly lauded, tend to lose a bit of clout in the ensuing decades.

I think the Tomatometer has really skewed people’s perception of a movie’s quality, because it has almost nothing more nuanced to it than a thumbs up/thumbs down barometer. All 99 percent means is that of 100 reviews tallied, 99 were positive. This includes reviews that would be more on the “eh, it’s decent” side of…

I have a good feeling about my series, Single Mother Enjoying Getting Much Affection, or SMEGMA.

Over the next few years it’s going to be my profound joy to watch all your woke heroes turn out to be huge d-bags.

Indeed. One could also argue that it hurts the taxpayers and citizens whose money is wasted by false reports and the victims of other crimes who aren’t receiving police attention because it’s being focused on a false report.

One could argue that legitimate victims of hate crimes are harmed by this because it decreases the chances people will believe their accusations.

Honestly that can be said about many producers: George Martin for the Beatles and Rick Rubin for hundreds of artists. Was it all them? No, but they had a huge hand in it

I’ve been a game show fan since birth, basically, so I really haven’t known a life without Alex Trebek being a staple of my life. This is hitting me really hard, I know he’s pushing 80, but he looked like he had that life force that has kept Bob Barker going into his 170s and haven’t really thought of an age without…

Jesus. Good luck, Alex, we’re all pulling for you at the I, Ron household.

This.

LOL. You’re defending someone who committed abuse on her set, abuse that included racial abuse, and then tried to pressure another woman to do nudity and god knows what else on her set, so much so that the other woman left the show, and I’m the MRA? You’re a fucking piece of work, dude. Truly. You are one genuine…
