Why Are Threads About Making Fun Of Awkward And Ugly People Allowed

The film being "reviewed" is Spider-Man 2, released 10 years ago and targeted at children:quote:This is a film that's anti-science, anti-journalism, anti-police, anti-James Franco, and, strangely, simultaneously anti-capitalism (witness how the film treats its only entrepeneur) and anti-socialism (now witness how quickly and comically Doc Oc pushes aside all those train passengers who stand in solidarity with Spider-Man). This gulf between (for lack of a better term) aesthetic ideology and narrative ideology repeats itself in the racial makeup of Spider-Man 2's New York City, which is presented as incredibly diverse even if Spider-Man exists in an unpierced bubble of whiteness and characters of other ethnicities exist only to sing the Spider-Man theme song, shout the occasional "go get 'em, Spidey!" or bitch about his pizza-delivery speed. Really, this is a film that fully supports nothing but its own grave platitude: With great power comes great responsibility. Yeah, big fuckin' news there. I keep hoping Peter will respond, "Golly gee shucks, I never thought about it that way!" No dice. Instead, he and Uncle Ben simply stare at each other with the intensity of freshman philosophy majors who just bonged their way into an essential, heretofore unrevealed truth. what in the gently caress?

James Hardon posted:Let's not stray from the issue here, which is that the guy who wrote the Planes review and also his fellow writers who presumably agreed with his argument were paid to write for this site which originally gained notoriety with articles making fun of pictures of ugly people. And it isn't 2002 anymore. The internet has moved on. Writers who write articles that deal with relevant issues are more interesting than "fratire" articles where bros give each other high-fives for dissing fags and ugly chicks. Maybe an example of a review of "Planes" dealing with female planes comes across as silly, but that is one example. In general, I've found the reviews to be amusing and insightful.

Well I guess I take it all back, if this feature is really so terrible that it generates over a hundred posts in two days on a forum that barely gets that many a month then by all means burn it down. I hope the CR crew feels bad for creating free content voluntarily, bunch of bedwetting assholes that they are, caring about things has never been cool or good.
