It’s good that a random avclub commenter is here to set these clueless guys straight about their health insurance. 

DGA health care has specific requirements about work days logged (as indicated in the Tweet). It’s great health care that anyone would bust their ass to keep. Some of the wealthiest people in Hollywood use it for good reason. So, just because they weren’t destitute doesn’t mean they had no motivation to keep great…

Jesus fucking Christ the assholes on here with such sad lives that they have to dream things up to get angry about.

ke wasn’t broke either, he just wasn’t acting. 

LOL who are their fans saying this?? these guys may be “indie darlings” but first they were acclaimed COMMERCIAL directors. You know, the art form that only exists to sell product. Hilarious that people are giving them shit for selling out. 

Director makes films 20 years ago that resonated with some people.

I agree. All of the trailers emphasized the effects-heavy sequences, without giving a very good sense of what the story was actually, you know, about and all of the humor that the trailers showed were cheesy one-liners (some of which weren’t even in the movie) despite the fact that some of the best humor is the…

I really hope you chose that user name because you’re currently working on a Cocaine Bear sequel that just hasn’t been announced yet.

I think a lot of Americans don’t realize that “fuck off” just means go away in a slightly more hostile tone.  To us it’s fighting words, so “fuck you” is pretty much interchangeable.

There’s going to be an Oral History expose about the making of this show and the final season and it’s going to be glorious. 

Fuck me, what a horrible, mean-spirited article.

You know what's way more cringe than an actor with thin skin? A critic with thin skin.

Did Shazam 2 run over your dog or something?

No kidding. This article reads like the author has an inexplicable personal vendetta. Just downright spiteful.

I don’t even think the response has been particularly cruel to the movie, let alone to Zegler herself. I’ve seen a few people criticize her acting in the movie, which feels misplaced because none of the villains were really good in it, and I’ve seen all of them act well in the past (Zegler is quite good in West Side…

Generally I want people cast who’ll do the best job in a role out of those who could potentially play it, but “pissing off the most racists statistically possible” is almost as good.

Some people ARE senselessly mean. Are some of them professional critics? Probably*, though Ms. Zegler doesn’t specify. She just as likely could be referring to Twitter trolls that have been harassing her for months.

Leveling professional criticism with any random negative post on social media is a disservice to what critics actually do and its importance in cultivating truly great work

People don’t hate fun

Fun movies are applauded and adored all the time, but critical consensus suggests Shazam! Fury Of The Gods is not one of them.
