I can never be mad at a movie that basically acts as a giant middle finger to Abrams and his stupid mystery box plotting

He’s a troll. Opened that burner just to stir shit in these comments.

has Diaz ever even attempted to act in an Oscar baity film? I mean that respectfully.

That’s the visa Melania somehow got.
