I left the movie with the same frustrations that Dowd did, but my esteem for the film skyrocketed once I realized that it has

I don't suspect that this movie is any good, but I do disagree with the fundamental dismissal of the premise. I think this concept could actually be hilarious, but you'd have to ditch the Groundhog Day-style omniscience, where the protagonist eventually develops a beat-for-beat knowledge of how the events will play…

No joke, Annihilation was my first realization as a child that a movie could be *bad.* I loved the first movie as a kid (and still do—its the worst movie I unironically love), and took for granted that MK:A would deliver the goods in the same way, and when it didn't… everything changed. It was the exact moment where I…

Yes, and they're great, but their stuff all sounds the same. I don't want an entire generation of RATM clones.

Yes! A shout-out to the silent heroes, the actors who turn down Woody Allen films on principal, even when it might boost their career. We never hear about them, but presumably, they're out there.

I can't forgive Limp Bizkit for singlehandedly smothering the artistic viability of rap-metal as a genre in its cradle. When I listen to the Judgment Night soundtrack, I can't help but hear all the potential that was lost. We could've had something special!

I'm so used to Minnesota getting skipped over by the things I wanna see that I skimmed the list and got pre-emptively mad that we weren't included, before realizing that St. Paul was literally the first city on the list.

He does enjoy the lyrically-unwieldy-yet-hauntingly-prescient original demo recording, "Take the Money and Rest Assured That No One with Any Immediate Power to Hold You Accountable for Your Actions or Put Even Modest Checks on Your Power Will Opt to Do So."

I thought Jamie Foxx was incredible in Baby Driver, but holy shit, if you hate Jamie Foxx *as a baseline,* this movie would probably make you throw up.

Unpopular opinion right now, and I am certainly not trying to rain on the parade of anyone who loved this movie, but I kind of hated it. I was consistently entertained on a moment-to-moment, scene-to-scene basis, and I loved the cast (Holland and Keaton in particular) but as a whole, it all felt very superficial.

More fun: What rom-com couples do you think actually have a stable foundation for a healthy, lasting relationship? I'll start.

I love rom-coms, but the correct answer is "basically all of them."

Yeah—there is a legitimate reading to be found of Rocky III as racist, but the movie doesn't NOT give you reasons to root against him. He sexually intimidates Adrian and is semi-responsible for killing Mickey. Plus, he's just a real asshole in general, and his behavior would read as asshole-ish no matter what race he…

Wild, overuse/misuse of ellipses is bafflingly ubiquitous in electronic communication *across the board* by Baby Boomers. I have no idea why, and this is the first time I've ever seen anyone else point it out.

This says more about Rotten Tomatoes than it does about Get Out.

I take no issue with Kevin Pang's take on the two albums. He's not saying they're "bad." He's saying he doesn't like them. He's describing a personal response. I wish more people would be as honest about their personal, idiosyncratic, intellectually indefensible reasons for liking or not liking a particular work.

Yeah, music fans tend to treat session musicians and outside writers like its "cheating" and "fake." No! It just means that those other people deserve credit too.

My LORD the costume design. After seeing this trailer, I just had to find out the name of the genius behind it. Turns out, it's Ruth Carter, who has been THE costume designer for black movies going back to School Daze.

I don't want to dismiss this article out of hand, but I think a lot of media criticism lately has fallen into this weird literalism trap, that assumes enjoying something onscreen means you would enjoy or support that thing in real life, in a way that I think is WILDLY overthinking it.

I've just started playing the original Mario Tennis—I'd never played a sports game of any genre before this, outside of aimlessly button-mashing on a friend's copy of Madden 2003 back in middle school. But I'd heard good things and wanted to try something different.
