re: Oprah's ultra-PC ‘Wrinkle in Time’ stung with bad reviews as ‘cringeworthy’

You're doing it wrong.

Any minority film that has critical success achieved it due to it being a minority film.

Correct. It's the pedophile rule. Not everyone with a mustache is a pedophile but every pedophile has a mustache.

The film is often billed as “the first $100 million movie directed by an African-American woman,” and DuVernay

It isn't always about the money, and DuVernay should know that.

She also directed Selma. It had a much smaller budget but is a very, very good movie.

Not that I would have seen it but this is the first I've heard of this movie. I had no clue it was even being made

I saw the trailer when I went to see TLJ, and I have to admit it made me cringe.

I know we bitched about Zach Snyder's washed out color schemes, but this just looks WAY too bright and sparkly, like there should be some rainbow unicorns running around in the background.

I remember reading the book, can't say I remember the plot, but do recall thinking it was ok.

I think I can hear the “thud” of this landing from here.

My question is how much marketing Disney put into this turd. I want it to exceed the losses of John Carter and Lone Ranger but that would require another hundred million or so in promotion with little return at the box office.

One of my dad's best friends father lives in the same apartment complex as her, and has quite a few stories on how she's a bitch.

I hate to break this to you but Oprah probably doesn’t live in an apartment complex

And not all black women are Oprah.

Not to get all preachy, but my daughter is 8. If I can get an 8yr old to take a critical look at something like this, why can’t the rest of America take it upon themselves to do the same.

Because the right has it ALL figured out and frick the left.


That's why.

I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but an apartment in a big city isn't the same as one in bayou lapoot.

Oprah is frickin insufferable. Her being in a film is a guarantee I won’t see it.

The movie sucks, but Fox News somehow finds a way to squeeze in an anti-female, anti-diversity quip.
