Megan, you need to let it go.

This is a movie I am extremely glad I watched and it was excellent but I never want to watch it again.

If I hurt your feelings calling you out on your stupid comment, I’m so terribly sorry. If only I’d known you were an expletive-prone, batshit crazy, predictably anti-feminist Jezebel troll in the first place, I would have never replied at all.

Even if you didn’t write that exact word, saying someone cares about money more than love - particularly when the money is used for “luxury” rather than needs - is generally used to justify labelling someone as shallow. Your tone is apparent, even if the explicit word is not. And your disdain is made only more obvious…

You are making some incredible leaps here, arguing that being willing to “end a relationship” is the equivalent of being willing to end any and all relationships romantic or otherwise, and that Millennials’ desire for more money is a product of wanting more luxury (lol at vacation as a sign of luxury) as opposed to…

What a gross misread of Aurora’s comment. This says more about you than her.

When will people wake up and see that historically accurate French style cosplay matters just as much as putting a belt buckle on your hat and calling yourself a pilgrim? This oppression has gone on too long!

I avoid scotch because it tastes like headache-flavored bog run-off, not because it has a man’s name on it (heyyyy Captain Morgan). They’re proving what they’re trying to disprove, which is sad.

You’re just moving goalposts now. I never said novelty was the be all and end all of quality cinema but I do expect something more than the status quo in content from Best Picture nominees. There is nothing wrong with liking SoW, but don’t pretend like it isn’t a retread of a familiar story... or that it IS a retread…

Don’t you remember the verse in Jeb 69:420 that goes, “Retain thee thy cluster of cells nascent in thy womb for that cluster has the DNA of homo sapiens and forget about that part where this book says life begins with first breath that shit was in Genesis where we talk about creating a universe in like 7 days for…

Incredible slip (?) making “what about” one word as you launch into whataboutism.

What an incredibly weird thing to say.

They put the minds of the old white people into the bodies of the black people so that the white people can continue living and regain lost abilities. The white mind is then in contorol, although the black mind can sense everything and think and even regain control with intense effort.

Um... All of them pretty much? How on earth can you come to me saying it’s supposed to be trite because it’s a fairy tale and then challenge me for saying it’s trite? Besides the cookie cutter characters I’ve already mentioned, the narrative of outcast girl/boy finds outcast boy/girl who has special powers that save…

Aw thanks! Very much agree about La La Land, its ending was unexpected and earned and very moving to me, while SoW had a sequence of events that was obvious to the point of parody. But they’re both great movies, they just have this hyper-aware quasi-self-referential thing going on that makes them similar in my mind.

Call Me was good, though a little odd and uncomfortable for me. I still can’t quite decide what it was trying to convey, but I know I want to go to Northern Italy in the 80s with Sufjan and Armie! It’s worth watching.

I didn’t come up with that btw.

Starks and Desecration!

It kills AND debones AND cooks your meat for you! Brilliant.

Having expectations was your first mistake ;) It was good and entertaining but hollow. It gave me literally nothing to think or talk about later (except for how egregious the hype was). I definitely can enjoy movies like that, but I cannot understand why this one is being put on such a high pedestal.
