 "Tumblr is already seething about this"

A sentence that belongs nowhere anyone can read it.

That attitude is basically all consuming in CD. It's loving abysmal to read anything or post there.
Even CD has a sense of humor occasionally.

 If they cared they'd write better reviews.

 That was somehow less funny than the real thing.

So does it make equal amounts of sense for Casablanca to be interpreted as:

a) a sword-and-sandals fantasy movie
b) a period piece
c) a drama with heavy political overtones
As long as you can back your argument up, absolutely. The problem - one of them, at least - is that CR either can't or just doesn't.

 There's nothing wrong even with unserious readings, it's just if you're going to do that you need to have a sense of humor (which CR doesn't any more) and not come across like you think yours is the One True Reading.

Also CR is meant to be reviews not critical interpretations, so this is all irrelevant bullshit that walks right around the many reasons CR sucks, such as "they don't review movies" and "the 'reviews' are pretentious, self-serious garbage".

Dude, you gotta say something like "Deal" or "Challenge accepted m'lady", otherwise how am I supposed to know you've agreed to the terms?

It's too late now, I'ma talk about Blade Runner


I dunno if it would weaken it - the whole point is that it doesn't matter, there's no real difference between people and replicants.
Hush now.
