My favorite part about the Rogue One review is that RLM decided to double-down on being upset that filthy non-white savages are allowed to be in Star Wars movies. That's a cool and good hill to die on.

Honestly, I stopped watching Half int he Bag. THeir reviews tend to go the same way. "Big Hollywood Blockbuster does poo poo you have seen twenty times before. God were old, remember when movies were good?" And it gets old really quickly.

Do you mean when Mike was spouting off nonsense actor and character names? I don't think that was meant to bemoan non-white people being in the movie, but rather that the characters themselves were dull.

pretty much, I barely watch half in the bag anymore but best of the worst is still real good. I just really have no interest in hearing some rapidly aging dudes snort about ~hollywood stupidity~ while insisting the movies they liked years ago are the gold standard.

They gave Lucas just as much poo poo on it. They even have a segment in the original Plinkett reviews making fun of all the merch Lucas pumped out. I mean for gods sake do any of you even remember the slightest thing about anything you consume? If you don't know why you don't like something anymore that's fine, there's no need to make stuff up just to justify it.

It’s weird. Every time RLM gets brought up there’s always someone coming along to accuse them of racism based on flimsy or nonexistent evidence. Sort of like how everyone who didn’t actually watch James Rolfe’s Ghostbusters video just assumed he was one of the people complaining about the female cast, when in fact he hadn’t said anything of the sort.

Their Rogue One video was kind of a misstep, though. I get the feeling they’re all sick to death of Star Wars at this point and hate feeling obliged to make videos about it, and that’s why they’re coming into it with such a cynical attitude. I mean, no poo poo a film in a long-running franchise is going to have a lot of callbacks to the earlier ones, with familiar characters and technology showing up. Why wouldn’t it? If anything, the restraint the writers showed in not making it all about the Jedi again really did BREAK NEW GROUND!!

it's because there is a subset of people on the internet who go out of their way to try and be offended, whether it's because they disagree with someone and wants to belittle their opinions through ad hominem or just want to prove how not racist/sexist/etc. they are. it's the kind of bullshit that makes people roll their eyes whenever the word 'tumblr' get brought up because it conjures up images of these insufferable shitbags who try so fuckin hard to be offended by anything someone says.

it is asinine and it makes this thread completely loving unreadable. please stop.

I can get not liking those parts of the original Plinkett reviews, I solved that by just skipping past them myself, but yeah I dunno the deal with some people desperately wanting to make them out into secret trump nazi woman haters and whatever else.

It was the part where they were whining about how Star Wars has China is a major movie market so now they have to see Chinese people playing film characters sometimes.

So do clarify that you're cheerleading people harassing James Rolfe and his 100% uninvolved wife, because he made a calm video saying "I'm not gonna watch the new Ghostbusters because I love the old ones too much" after people constantly asked him if he was gonna make a video about the new one, cause that's what you're implying.

They're never gonna out and out say it, but yes that's exactly what they're advocating for.Not gonna lie, the type of person who would endorse and advocate that behaviour, especially over things that actually haven't happened is just awful and astounding to me.
