The last present Destiny gets from Ramona before everything goes to shit, a chinchilla fur coat, is the same present that Frank Lucas gets from his wife in American Gangster. Frank’s fur coat gets him noticed by a whole bunch of people who either start investigating him or trying to extort him. What I’m saying is, if…

Here’s an idea: stop being a whiny baby and trying to cover up your upset feelings about someone not liking your pet show by giving condescending “How to review” advice. 

It’s a shame someone else is reviewing the show - I thoroughly enjoyed the contrast between Sean T. Collins’ generally accurate criticisms of the show and the chorus of whining babies below the line whose complaints always amounted to “Fire this guy because he doesn’t like the show I like!”

Well, it took a while, but we finally got to what this right-winger is really mad about - the fact that anyone acknowledged non-white people exist.

500 Days of Summer is very obvious about what it does. The argument that the “idea doesn’t land as strongly as it should” and that’s a flaw - because people who were either not very bright or over-identified with the protagonist didn’t get it - is stupid and unfair.

Everyone in this comment section whining about how they didn’t like the first episode of Black Mirror because it “made them sick” or whatever, is an absolute weakling, and a pathetic coward. That episode rules, and it’s incredibly funny.

That’s the Brad Pitt movie I’ve seen the most times, and it’s true - I think the whole “process coming to fruition” aspect of it makes that work. 

I think his best performance is in The Tree of Life, where he was so convincing as a specific type of domineering father that he was giving me uncomfortable flashbacks.

It certainly is a bad thing when that president is a fascist.

There was a time early on, probably around 2011-2012, where the consensus on the Rock was that he was a fresh and exciting new action hero who was a ready-made success and it would be great to see him in everything. Now it’s been seven years of him just playing the same shitty and boring character over and over while…

I also think all the white people in here who seem to think Earn should play along with the creepy blackface festival are nuts. Earn was well within his rights to act the way he did considering how much everything here sucked.

The most recent Jack Reacher novel had him stumbling into a situation like this, and it was really funny because all the rich psychopaths doing the hunt had expected to deal with two fairly standard young people, and wound up getting picked off by a 6'5 250 lb military killing machine.

Stabbing a policeman is not a “shameful incident”, Mike.

The idea that Luce writing an essay adopting Fanon’s anti-colonial position is some kind of tip-off that merits a viewer being unsettled, or feeling uneasy about him, is kinda funny to me - it just makes me respect him for having much better political views than most people ever do, as early as high school. Maybe…

I had no idea those existed, and it explains a lot about an underlying weariness I’ve always felt because their action scenes always have a very predictable rhythm and a consistent “scoreboard”, in the sense of hits given vs. hits taken.

Reviewers aren’t meant to try and divine “what the public actually likes or wants” to begin with, since that’s impossible. We never know what the vague construct of “the public” would ideally like because we can only judge what they like from the differing commercial performance of what they’re presented with. If The…

Given that you seemingly have no actual reason to disagree with Dowd’s review and are simply upset because you think the reviews in general are too negative, I don’t get why you even bothered to comment.

I’m really puzzled by how bizarre and stupid this comment is, especially because it seems to be premised on your indignation that Dowd has given a harsh review to a movie you feel obligated to see and are hoping you’ll like. You’re essentially upset that Dowd has rained on your parade and are now assuming this means…

what the fuck is wrong with you?

But...why? Why make this?
