re: Oceans 8 reviews: It's not looking good.

To be fair, this movie is dogshit

It's entertaining dogshit, though.

Sounds like 8 will be missing the entertaining part.

Until the meta Julia Roberts part. It's off a cliff from there.

What's your "simple question," dude? Do you even know what your argument is? "These other movies weren't great and this is similar, therefore it can't be looking bad because it's supposed to be bad." Is that how fricking stupid you are?

If 8 is in line with those I really don't see how "it's not looking good."

---

Because it doesn't look like a good movie, based on many bad reviews from major outlets. Whatever you think the other movies or their tomato scores have to do with that lives in your own head.

Unless you're also enough of a fricking bimbo to think that the tomato scores are some scientifically perfect calculation of movie goodness, in which case,

Next one up is a shot for shot remake of Armageddon with all the genders reversed.

Like I've said here and before, the cast looks great. HBC and Blanchett are two of the best actresses of their generation, and Bullock is one of the most magnetic leading ladies of all time.

Again, it has nothing to do with the previous movies. They had all of the ingredients for a great movie. Apparently, as the Guardian guy literally says, they have wasted this great opportunity.

I’m waiting for the next bond movie to refuse to have a Bond girl seduced my bond.

I mean, they are going to absolutely overdo it in the next Bond movie. Wouldn’t surprise me if the plot is Bond has to disarm a nuclear bomb but he first has to escape from jail due to a conviction for multiple sexual assaults.

Ocean’s 8 is the most satisfying installment in the franchise.

"Most satisfying"

I.E. "I'm a progressive and, though it sucks arse, it's satisfying to see an all female cast."

I could see them doing The Lost Girls for the teenage crowd that still misses Twilight.

And Feldman will make a cameo as a bumbling idiot who doesn't know what to do as the parent of one of the girls.

Laura Dern will be the head vampire.

Can Hollywood please stop trying so hard. Ocean's #metoo is yet another installment in the "revenge against the patriarchy" hollywood type movies like wokebusters.

You are actually doing any sort of women's rights movement an injustice by going out of your way to appear "tolerant". Why does everyone have to be a victim? Can't they just make an original movie that doesn't pander to women, blacks, gays, "insert protected class here"? Whatever happened to picking the right actor or actress for the job? Whatever happened to intriguing stories? Hell, there are literally millions of books hollywood can rip off. Why copy and paste but with a different gender? It's asinine.
