It's also important to distinguish that it's NOT a "white people suck/ white guilt" movie so much as it is a "white people be craaaazy" approach.

Do you only come to this board to talk about white guilt movies/Hollywood?

It seems like every time I see a post about this subject it's you 80% of the time

So one posters view of the movie is making the decision on whether or not you like a movie before you see it?

What a unique analysis. You truly are a critic among critics.

If you want to miss out on a great movie because you think you've got all the answers about it, without - you know- actually seeing the thing... knock yourself out.

Look, I'm sure this is a good movie, but 100%? Is it really a consensus that it's better than Schindler's List, Goodfellas, Casablanca, 2001 A Space Odyssey, or the fricking GODFATHER (1 & 2)? Look, it might be the best movie ever made, but you can't tell me white guilt isn't influencing this.

You should research how the score is arrived at. The score isn't determined by a panel of Rotten Tomatoes board members that debate the film's worth. RT basically reads reviews of critics that

A. Are worth a shite and
B. Actually review the movie

This means that it's never the same exact people reviewing the movies. Also include the fact that RT will include critics that reviewed the film when it came out if the reviews were published. So a film like The Godfather will have reviews from decades ago while Get Out's oldest review is a couple of days old. Taste change.

And most importantly, the score changes as more reviews come in. It won't stay at 100%. A minuscule few do.

So calm down, Francis. The Godfather's reputation is still intact.

ETA: white guilt? You jumped the retarded shark my boy.

Richard Pryor and Chris Rock were/are two of the funniest comedians ever.

If you'll actually watch the movie, you'll find out why the black folks come up missing. If you still subscribe to the white guilt theory at that point, then you're a confirmed moron, and not just an alleged one.

Is horror really accurate? I don't typically like that kind of stuff, especially not gory stuff...but then again, the walking dead may have desensitized me a bit...

It actually has nothing to do with white guilt.

Nah, it's really more of a thriller than horror-horror. It tiptoes the line where it could have been a straight-up comedy.

One of my wife's girlfriends came with us, and she loved it. She's so sensitive about scary stuff that she yelled at my wife for recommending Stranger Things because the DemiGorgon scared the shite out of her.

I'm glad others saw this movie and didn't decide to be a damn snowflake about it.
