- Men being punched in a good movie: Good
Richard Lawson’s quoted review is the stupidest sounding one from the above list. Oh there’s gun worship, sexism, and racism in a movie about the worst people from prison being put together to kill bad guys?Who could have ever seen that coming? If it didn’t have those things it would be a shitty version of the suicide…
I *wanted* to like the new Ghostbusters—for feminist reasons, among others—but it just didn’t work out. The writing was dull, the pacing was off, the editing/tone didn’t work, the story was weak. I was pretty bummed.
Don't you get it? He wasn't offended ENOUGH though
Just so all the Jezzers are clear - Ghostbusters is good because women and Suicide is Squad is bad because Jared Leto (man). Got it? Great!
So some people went to the a movie featuring some of the most violent, sadistic characters in the DC universe and expected something else other than violence, sexism, over-the-top action, and machismo? Sometimes I wonder what are the qualifications to be a film critic. I guess the ability to breath is one of them.
Too bad the mother didn’t have any shame after giving birth to the first kid with the nameless loser. Do the kids all share the same father??
Soooo where's the father?
Don’t be naive, she’s clearly drunk... just like she was caught drinking during college visits last year.
True, she can do whatever “she damn well pleases.” But like the Bush twins and Chelsea before her, she has to realize that people are going to be watching her like a hawk and putting everything she does in the public’s eye. Even more so now thanks to everyone having camera phones. Instead of just the paparazzi…
The self-loathing must be pretty strong with this guy.
I don’t know. Yimou never struck me as being infected with Eurocentrism.
Why don’t you two find some quiet place to suck each other off
I read this too ; which is why I am not going to yell “cultural revisionism” just yet. For one, from the preview it looks like Damon plays a hired gun - someone the emperor contracts to fight a war against the enemy - since this is a thing that actually happened (i.e., Slavic mercenaries were routinely hired by the…
Zang Ymou is directing I see. This is a far cry from “Raise the Red Lantern”
In defense of “Hollywood” after doing some digging on the film:
This is creeping dangerously into “any criticisms, no matter how valid, are sexist” territory.
No not really. Clinton is specifically critiqued on her voice because it IS that bad.
But “perfectly fine” shouldn’t be how we judge someone who’s been planning this campaign for the last decade. I don’t know why we can’t address the fact that she isn’t a great public speaker. Michelle Obama is able to sound strong, sincere, and energetic in a way that I did not get from HIllary. When Nina Turner…
