I had a quick skim over some CineD threads on a couple of movies I was thinking of seeing.

i don't think it's unfair to assume this movie will be a bad mess based on snyder's run on DC stuff, and godot's wooden performance in bvs

merch-paid reviews would be completely unsurprising, but its not like theres been the storm of incredibly loving dumb PR around this like there was ghostbusters 2016, so i think assuming some vast feminist sensitive joss whedon conspiracy to give it an easy curve is a bit paranoid.

I think people would do well to actually go read some the 2016 Ghostbusters reviews, they mostly were kind of lukewarm rather than gushing which a lot of people act like they were. I mean, its 73% on RT, which is in the same bracket as a low end Marvel movie like Iron Man 2.

GB16 was a bad and unfunny attempt to improv a movie around lovely Papa Johns ads. It's trash.


Nothing But Trouble murders Digital Underground with a death rollercoaster. It's good trash.

There's more potential for producing lovely movies supported by social/political retards. It's a barely tapped market.

The meltdowns over their GB16 review among the Tumblr RLM "community" were really hilarious (not a Tumblr person - just browsed briefly last year). Adult women who were previously Super Fans, who posted about nothing but RLM, were now vowing to stop donating on Patreon and never watch another RLM video again because Mike, Rich and Jay had suddenly become raging misogynists, apparently.

RLM have made mildly sexist jokes in the past but always harmless ones and they've never felt like the kind of joke that shows a deeper truth about the person's actual beliefs. (Like, the way Rich's ching-chong-ding-dong prank call probably doesn't stem from a deep hatred of Asian people). None of those dudes hate women. I wouldn't watch them if they gave off any whiff of actual misogyny because that poo poo bums me out super hard. How these super fans - who presumably didn't think RLM were sexists up to this point - managed to interpret their review of a mediocre movie as some sexist screed is baffling.

A real hellraiser


I was in a car with some friends we were visiting in Chicago last december and a lady asked me if I'd seen Ghostbusters and I said no and she seriously said "Why not? You're not one of them are you?!"

So the mild hatred of Ghostbusters was enough to turn them off, despite the Plinkett character being a serial murderer/rapist of women, particularly women on the fringes of society?

Huh.

This. To me, the fact that they make jokes like that actually makes me trust them a bit more. It's like, i dont have to like every joke they make but at least i feel like i've seen the worst of them. Meanwhile the really vocal "woke" dudes almost always end up being creeps. That dude Devin Faraci was one of the most vocal people defending the 2016 ghostbusters and calling anyone who didnt love it a misogynist. And then it turns out he sexually assaulted a girl. poo poo like that happens a lot, it seems.

Can't blame him then.

But Rich has said before on camera before the election "eh who gives a poo poo, they're both criminals and they'll both be bad"

And he was making fun of the women's march saying it was for no purpose and jack got super mad.

Basically Rich is cool and good.

I don't watch pre-rec. I'm fine with them letting slip some aspects of their politics, but they don't use their videos as a way of pontificating or virtue signalling.

Late as always because I only wanted to spend 5bux at a review cinema, but I just saw Alien: Covenant.

Alien: Covenant was a movie. :geno:

Rumour is they bought a compressor to fix their lovely audio but they're too dumb to figure out how to set it up.

verb the adjective noun

Rich was a Bernie supporter who decided not to vote in the general after he lost. Rich is usually right about most things, but is still a chode for his 'I won't be strong-armed into voting for the greater good' and 'blame me if hillary loses by one vote' attitudes imho
