Don’t mean to hijack these comments and I’ll be brief.

Its starting looking really bad

I don’t understand how the plot twist is also plot twist in the movie.

I’d agree if the worldbuilding weren’t so fucking stupid.

I feel like you’re reading way too much into a throwaway joke comment about the Madea movies.

It’s also stupidly wrong because Fresh Prince was shown on tv all over the world and when Independance Day came, he was, for me, the biggest star in the cast. By a huge majority...

I’d be curious to see if those correlations hold up if you controlled for movie budget. By and large, foreign audiences don’t turn out for low-budget American movies, which is a lot of Tyler Perry, Ice Cube, and even Kevin Hart’s success (with the exception, as you noted, of Jumanji). So what this data shows may just

I feel like this is a correlation, not causation, thing. Look at the movie quality difference between the top and bottom of the list. Nobody in Mongolia wants to see a Tyler Perry movie because no one anywhere should.

You’re asking a bit much from this writer, methinks. I mean, your second paragraph is light years better than anything in the article & that’s without you trying too hard, or say...having writing be your actual job.

You do realize that his wealth and power allow him to influence the people who write the laws, yes? It's not that simple.

I’m going to dissect this bullshit one bit at a time:

And, I would add, less interested in this web site.

If anything this whole thing has made me more empathetic towards her and more interested in her upcoming projects.

I love how the article tries to insinuate that it was terrible that she took a week to respond to this manufactured controversy. Y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

I wish I could get excited about this, but how many times have we been down a road like this before? A big investigation, lots of anticipation that Someone Big was finally going to prison, and then... crickets. Or pardons. Or foot-dragging in the relevant chambers of law and justice. Or no charges. Or weak charges and
