It’s almost like you don’t realize, that they are/were all writing for the same online publication, with its unwavering feminist identity that hasn’t changed from day one.

Men breaks up with a woman, bc she doesn’t want to give it up: ‘Men are all the same. What a pig. SHE should have dumped his sorry ass.’

Showing boobies was a thing in 2011, but it isn’t any longer and the calendar wasn’t shipped to creepy grandpas back then, but it is today? Showing naked male firefighters is to ‘honor their accomplishments’? Does it get any more disingenuous? People of both genders like to watch at beautiful naked people of the…

It’s a revamp that respects women for their accomplishments, not their boobies.

You’re underestimating the willingness of certain groups to find fault in anything, just for clicks. I’ll give you an example of what I mean - a lot of people were accusing The Martian for alleged whitewashing, simply bc there was one minor character with an asian sounding name (Mindy Park) cast with a white actress…

That would be a fair solution in a perfect world. In reality, people who invested $140 million in a movie want their money back and then some and they calculate, that the biggest film markets worldwide outside the US are either US-centric (Europe) or have closer ties to the US and its culture than to Africa (Japan and…

Replacing the fourth unknown white guy with another unkmown guy from Northern Africa would not have solved the problem this movie and others face - the people who want to sink this movie and others are not interested in half measures, they want basically every role of a big budget Hollywood Vikings movie casted by…

The Rock would have been a good choice, but he is American/Canadian of Samoan descent, still not from Northern Africa. Would still not have been enough for the usual twitter outrage crowd.

But the characters would still not have looked like your typical black American actor, would they? There would have still be the challenge to find actors with at least some star power of north African heritage. Nobody has been able to name a few so far...

You would have casted unknown actors with Egyptian heritage for ‘breakout roles’ instead of the four white guys mentioned for a $140 million movie? I call that money to burn.

‘Gerald’ Butler being a major star would also be news to me, Gerard Butler on the other hand...

Wouldn’t they have to look middle eastern? Casting Denzel Washington or Chiwetel Ejiofor wouldn’t have done the trick. They are as authentically Egyptian as Gerard Butler or Geoffrey Rush. Who are those well known middle eastern actors who could have opened a big budget Hollywood movie?

a French banker nearly twenty years her senior. This sentence was already perfect, nothing less than a greying French bank for either of the Olsen twins

It’s a solid movie with great actors and a fantastic soundtrack, but the camera work lacks visual imagination and the script feels like it was written by a teacher giving her class history lessons. There’s nothing wrong with that, Steve McQueen did the same with 12 years a slave, but he managed to captivate the…

People don’t pay money to see a white guy write black characters for them, they like his movies, period. At the end of the day, it’s the product thast matters. If that wasn’t the case, black rappers would be a lot less successful, bc white kids are a huge part of their fanbase.

You’re right, I stand corrected. Still, I have watched the movie and I was unimpressed. That’s all I have to say. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t a great movie that deserved multiple awards.

She’s free to make her own decisions, but if, ten years down the road, she starts complaining about Hollywood never giving her a chance bc WOC, some people will bring this up again. This business is choc full of people who turned down roles and projects that would have made them big stars. Some people never get a…

Tarantino did not lie, he admitted to not having seen the movie.

That is something that no one else ever said. Keep doing what you’re doing, but don’t give up your day job when chasing your career as a movie critic, kay?

*I* saw it and I agree with him. What more can I say?
