Opinion is turning? I thought it was terrific - it pulled off the feat of entertaining you while making you feel sleazy for watching - and Gyllenhaal gave one of the most singlulary mesmerizing performances of the last 10 years. The fact that he wasn’t even nominated for it was pathetic.

But people need their opinions validated by all the reviewers! If you like or are excited by something that the AV Club doesn’t gush over then I dunno, that must mean something quite awful about your pop culture tastes... So it’s really got to be about the fact the reviewer secretly hates films, or that there’s a…

Fuck off fuck off fuck off. The complaints about Dowd’s reviews long ago went from mildly irritating and weirdly obsessive to actively bitter and insane. Go back to posting screeds on Rotten Tomatoes.

Dowd has recently given positive reviews to Glass, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, A Star Is Born, Roma, If Beale Street Could Talk, First Man, The Predator (?!), M:I - Fallout, Unfriended: Dark Web, The First Purge, The Incredibles 2, Burning, BlacKkKlansman, Rampage, A Quiet Place, Ready Player One, Isle of Dogs,…

As soon as I saw this negative review I knew The Gentleman wouldn’t like it.  Why do you continue to comment about a reviewer you obviously hate?  You seem to actively hate Dowd.  Find something that makes you happy.  Life’s too short to be bitter and joyless.  Turn that frown upside down, buckaroo!!

Sorry for the bad markup - forgot which site I was on and also FUCKING KINJA FUCKING SUCKS

First, thanks for your thoughtful reply. I appreciate it. I’ll try to articulate my thoughts in a way that makes sense (no promises - I’ve been drinking all night.)

In truth, the misogynistic elements may be performative—an expression of von Trier’s pathological need to shock, the antagonism that’s become wrapped up in his whole cult of personality

Rocky IV is a ridiculous movie, and for the most part, not in a good way. It’s just stupid. The fact that these Creed movies rely so much on the events of a movie where Rocky has a robot butler, and yet keep turning out good, absolutely baffles me.

“What I am doing is not whataboutism?”

Nah, it’s more that you can’t spit out a bunch of bullshit Fox News both sides talking points and act like anyone is going to believe that you’re a liberal.

You’re right. My constitutional protections were being threatened by people in Afghanistan and thanks to people like Crenshaw and your relatives they are safe for now. Imperialist violence has *nothing* to do with so-called “freedoms” - this type of utterly mindless language is continually used to make wars of choice…

Weird that you regurgitated a bunch of conservative talking points and then pretended you were a liberal. Fuck right the hell off.

“Even Jesus fucked around in his 20's which is why it’s not in any part of the bible.”

I really want to live in the world where it’s possible to appeal to the reason and compassion of the people who have been watching Trump for the past three years and are still completely ok with everything he’s done and said. These people aren’t just misguided or misinformed. They vote for Trump and the GOP because…

What a strange thing to obsess over. Really odd.

Are you serious? I shouldn’t hate white nationalists because they hate jews? What about when they appear at the doors of my friends and neighbors who are jews, and take them away to be murdered or put in camps as they did in Germany? Or call nazis in Charlottesville “very good people?” You are wrong in so many ways.…

Oh lookee here. An independent*!

Firstly, nowhere in my comment did I defend that idiotic “joke,” do I won’t even bother to address that part of your reply.

Jordan, indeed, told Meyers
