way to completely miss the point

“OK, cut! Alex, bubbie that was great except we need more. I want you to imagine you were arrested for rioting in the capitol and the DOJ is rejecting your plea for vegan meals and a memory foam mattress in your cell. Now, action!”

I feel that another key here is that not only will people not vote for Dems, they won’t vote at all, being that apparently the Democrat’s goals are the same as Republican goals. They are virtually indistinguishable at this point to people who don’t have every waking moment of their lives to pay attention to the news,…

“’so I’m not going to vote for Democrats this time.’ It’s hard to argue with a lot of that logic, except the very last point!”

Senators and Representatives make $174,000 per year. That is plenty of money, and of course many of these people already come into office with significant wealth. There is no earthly reason why people SERVING THE PUBLIC, who are some of the most powerful people in the country, need to participate in the for-profit owne…

I couldn’t be bothered seeing any of the movies, but yeah, it kinda seems like that’s what they should be about? Both because it would match the in-universe magic creature textbook/tie-in material that it was based on, and because the day-to-day life in the world of Harry Potter was always much more engaging to me than…

Just as one often sees a movie for multiple reasons, the number of reasons to *not* see this one keep piling up. The last one was really bad; the writer is an a-hole; do I really want to risk catching COVID to see this?  It’s just a question of which of the list of reasons is your top one; YMMV in that respect.

I feel as though this movie could have been a lot more interesting if they had a very graphic scene of Grindewald and Dumbledore making the Fantastic Beast with Two Backs.

The other reason people are not going to see the film, Covid. I used to see at least one movie a week pre-pandemic. My friends did a dinner and movie night every Tuesday for the last decade, and I frequently went to another movie on the weekends with different friends or family. Many of us are still not going to movie…

JK Rowling’s statements have certainly made me fall out of love with Harry Potter. It’s not a case of actively boycotting it or anything like that, but it’s really just a whole lot less fun once you lose respect for the author. So yes, it is a case of “eh...it exists,” but whereas before her comments I probably would…

Perhaps Grindelwald and Dumbledore are the “fantastic beasts”, and they are finding each other.

I thought Depp was a cringeworthy choice even before the Amber Heard stuff came out.  I love Mads, and he always plays an excellent villain, but this franchise has so many other problems that recasting Grindelwald doesn’t actually move the needle for me that much.

That’s what I thought back when this franchise was first announced. Being a nerdy farm boy, I thought a series about a magizoologist was tailor made for my interests. But instead of British wizarding Steve Irwin, we got this really awkward bloke with a suitcase menagerie who has become some sort of secret agent who…

I wanted this movie series to be like.. Pokémon or something, I guess?
More about adventuring to where these fantastic beasts are and explore different corners of the wizarding world. Help these creatures. Have small emotional stories connected to them.

The best thing Deathly Hallows Part 2 did was skip all the stuff with Dumbledore’s past. “I don’t care what happened between you and your brother.” You tell ‘em, Harry! If only JK had listened.

PR disasters aside, the story being told here is so incredibly un-interesting. I’ve only read Wikipedia synopses of the 2nd…

Yes because this film was so overwhelmingly Gay that it was made suitable for China’s ban on LGBT+ content by almost quite literally removing only two lines of dialogue...

I’m sure they’ll blame covid for it but this film is failing everywhere, including home territory like the UK despite getting a stronger critical praising than the prior entry. It wasn’t exactly being well-received as a series even before Rowling came out as a massive transphobe and that’s basically destroyed her…

Rocky released a song in which he said Ora had a “big mouth,” and claimed that he “jizzed up all in her mouth and made the bitch bounce.

I had a fun afternoon once taking someone else’s adderall and wearing a trench in my kitchen floor walking back and forth replaying every argument of the past 20 years in my head.

Nah. Guys like him join fraternities and relive their high school glory days.
