These fools.

I wouldn’t call 57% “largely negative.” Maybe in the world of academia that number would be representative of abject failure, but in the world of film criticism, 57% is merely middling. Relative to the reception of TFA and TLJ, it’s not great, but relative to the vast majority of say, Adam Sandler films from the last…

I don’t know, I think this scene from The Campaign is as good as anything he’s ever done.

Is Barbara Billingsley speaking jive or black people being good at basketball really more “offensive” than a line of people all waiting to slap a woman and assault her with weapons?

Or a little girl saying she likes her coffee black, like her men?

Or the heavy implication that the pilot is a pedophile?

I mean, it’s a…

Bring back my father.

I have not yet seen a single “best albums of the 2010s” list that includes the Hamilton soundtrack. It’s not entirely surprising, as the idea of including a cast album probably doesn’t even occur to the people making these lists. But if you consider how ubiquitous that album was all throughout 2016, and the fact that…

If Escape From the City isn’t featured prominently in this film than this was all for naught. 

There’s a noticeable difference in AoU. It was shot anamorphic and it shows.

It also looks like and feels like a TV production. Say what you want about Age of Ultron, but at least it look and feels cinematic. Joss Whedon definitely grew a lot as a technical filmmaker in the interim. 

I’d go even further - don’t yell at service industry employees about anything, ever. Unless they are being openly combative or rude, it’s completely unnecessary and boorish. 

If he’s freelance, then he is self-employed and is free to accept or reject assignments as he pleases. Do you not know how jobs work?

Then why did you review it? With it being released as a two night only Fathom event followed by a four-walling roadshow in which Kevin Smith is selling tickets directly to his fans, he’s being pretty straightforward about this pretty much being for Kevin Smith fans only. Yet every review mentions that as a knock…

Nah, i’m pretty sure orchestrating a mass prison murder, killing Mike, letting Jane die, poisoning Brock, and mass producing/distributing a drug which definitely led to the deaths of countless others are all worse crimes than manipulating Jesse.

Where’s Action Bronson though?

That’s fair. I guess it depends on how you define a mainstream release. They’re smaller budgeted films, but with the exception of It Follows and Under the Skin, they were all given wide releases on 2,000+ screens.

In terms of bigger budgeted mainstream releases with a similar disconnect though, Annihilation comes to…

Critical darlings being hated by general audiences has actually occurred quite a bit the last few years. It Comes at Night, The Witch, mother!, It Follows, Under the Skin, Hereditary, Midsommar are just a few that spring to mind which have a huge discrepancy between RT critic and audience rating, and/or atrociously…

Watch The Station Agent and see if you still feel the same way.

I would counter that nobody is really giving their best performances on GoT, because the scripts are generally pretty bad, and it’s a dumb, extraordinarily overrated show.

Maybe it's just me, but for me, I disagree, and I enjoy his work immensely!

Joaquin Phoenix / Tom Hardy

I admittedly loved The Hot Chick as a 10 year who didn’t know any better, and I do have to say there is very strange and specific reason that movie will always have a special place in my heart.

There is a scene in The Hot Chick where Rob Schneider’s teenage girl character is peeing from her penis for the first time,…
