“Nice job gratuitously insulting superhero movies just before one celebrating black culture is released.”

Right. Well, I guess it depends on your own personal selection of media. What art, for you, dealt with these particular themes in a better way? If Three Billboards is derivative, and I’m not saying it isn’t, what is it derivative of?

Outrage is a popular hobby these days...

Superhero movies are garbage just like the people who think they’re real films.

“We’re not making films for six year olds” 

I respect your laser-like SJW focus on acceptable themes for movies, but I don’t share it. Three Billboards is probably a better movie about “toxic masculinity” than any other film this year (except Colossal - that actually might have been the best one on that theme), what with its recognition that a person who has…

He also said that he hopes that the movie’s detractors understand that “our hearts are totally in the right place,” and that the film was intended to address problems for which no easy answers exist.

For a movie to be good it has to tell me what to think, which needs to be what I already think, because otherwise other people could watch it and not find out what I think, which defeats the whole purpose of movies.

I think one day we are going to just learn to ignore the loudest voices complaining about stuff. Basically any interesting art will generate a backlash in the information age.

I like the shot at The Avengers out of left field and by extension, Disney, while defending Billboards.

It’s almost like people can be somewhere in between completely good and totally evil.

The scene in which Peter Dinklage floated through space was totally ridiculous!

I hated it when Sam Rockewell milked Peter Dinklage... Gross.

Maybe the conversation can be how the Blade trilogy did exactly the same thing 20 years ago, and that Black Panther isn’t breaking any new ground. People are just dumb and want to feel that they’re being progressive becuase they’re paying to watch a movie.

I’m glad he said this. Whatever you think of the movie, I’m a little disappointed in this insistence that the movie’s unwillingness to underline how you’re “supposed” to feel about a character is a flaw. The hostility toward character shading is...troubling.

I love it that identity politics people can’t handle Three Billboards. They are literally incapable of recognizing both flaws and humanity in a person. It’s identity politics poisoning reason take one million.

This guy’s constantly having to explain his movie! Woody Harrelson’s arc on Canto Bight was integral to the story! It made sense that Frances McDormand would point her car towards the Supremecy and floor it. Of course Sam Rockwell can project himself across the other side of town. Wish people would give him a break.

I like the scene where Woody and Frances are having an argument. They’re not enemies, he’s not a bad cop but there’s such a paucity of evidence... so they’re sparring, going back and forth, until something happens and he’s sorry and she says it’s okay, it’s okay.

How dare he suggest that people are complicated and not just good or evil!?!
