I know the director handled some interviews poorly and had dumb forehead slapping moments in terms of saying he can’t make comedies anymore. I liked Taika Watiti’s response.

I’m a damn leftist and the more bullshit blowback he gets is more proof that he’s got a point about the overreactions. Yes, say you don’t want to see it, fine, go ahead don’t show it in the Auora theater. Ban costumes. Makes sense. But for Entertainment Weekly to refuse to grade the movie, for people to act like this…

I agree that there were flaws. Mostly the Dougie stuff went on way too long. But there was plenty of stuff I really liked. I’ll take a new movie or a new season. But please, no more Dougie. And please include the longer intro like the first two seasons. The theme song is pure 100% magical angel dust.

Movie reviews are by people who see a movie and review it. In this case it’s many news and culture and opinion articles, not film reviews, written by people trying to piggy back on the norotiety and get clicks. "Creating your own narrative" is exactly what many people have done with this movie based on one dumb Reddit…

Yes this is the rational argument coming from everyone lately. Anyone who wants to see a movie about the Joker is also racist KKK member. Never mind that Birth of a Nation was deliberate propaganda. But maybe if some trolls start to admire Harry Potter or anything else other people like, then we can let them co-opt it…

the majority of the articles are not reviews of the film, they’re predictions and assumptions and warnings and scoldings and opinions about the press surrounding the film. The people who saw it at the festival liked it. It won the top prize.

I thought the readers at the AV Club would be able to get hyperbole, but perhaps it’s less than 10,000. And the majority of the articles are not reviews of the film, they’re predictions and assumptions and warnings and scoldings and opinions about the press surrounding the film.

This AP article is the only one that treats this movie rationally.

The movie hasn’t even released yet and there’s been 10 thousand articles saying they know exactly what’s wrong with a movie they haven’t seen. That is hilarious. Comedy is alive and well apparently. 

This AP article is actually reasonable and has quotes in context.

This AP article is much better.

It seems to me that everyone is overlooking the fact that she named one of the chimps Satan and he drank blood. ...now I might put on some Black Sabbath when I get home from work.

This doesn’t surprise me. I just assumed that type of behavior was a prerequisite for being considered to direct or produce a Fast and Furious movie.

I need to see more J.J.J. I finally got around to watching Oz, and holy shit is his character Nightmare Fuel.

1. She doesn’t look it, 2. They can digitally age him (Reed Richards has tons of gray hair and no one said shit when fan-casting him), 3. Slater is more poised to play a villain than a saint like Uncle Fucking Ben. 

John Krazinski. He’s a great father figure in A Quiet Place and could good in limited flashbacks. People keep clamoring for him as Reed Richards but I don’t buy it. I think he’d be an acceptable young Uncle Ben to Marissa Tomei's young Aunt May. 

He's so damn slimy. Get the economy-size salt container!

I know it was likely a typo, but “peesidential" is a good one and makes me miss The President Show on Comedy Central.
