Hybrid shows like Widows Bay or The Bear end up in the Comedy series because of their shorter run time and the inclusion of comedy with other themes (horror, drama, etc). But then it puts them up against full-on comedies unfairly IMO.

---

I don't know. Widows Bay is the funniest show I've seen in a long time. Outside of Shoresy.

---

Only allowing bought and paid for "approved critics" that will give positive reviews to the movie doesn't bode well.

---

So now the influencers literally paid to hype up and "influence" are the ones with integrity? How do you keep up with your constantly shifting rules?

Go watch Young Washington and get back to us

The director of which admitted to relying on AI for at least 100 shots. And which reportedly look obvious and awful. Not the best argument to disprove the studio produces garbage.

quote:

---

No matter how many times you're proven wrong.

Proven wrong about what? The value of seeing something before I decide if I like it or not? Of having the basic media literacy to differentiate between influencer and critic?

I might hate this movie. I'm often cold on Nolan. Inception, Interstellar, and Tenet are all big, loud, and dumb as frick, dressed up with constant and meaningless tech jargon, the absolute dumbest female characters, a cold (but pretty) aesthetic, and mind-numbing scores meant to assault your ears and shut down your brain. I like Oppenheimer and Dunkirk, but i think Nolan has made 2 great movies, and the most recent one was exactly 20 years ago. I'm very aware that The Odyssey could be more of the same as his other big action movies, regardless of what critics say. I enjoy reading reviews, but they don't shape my opinion for me. I do that for myself. You should consider doing the same.

I just don't hate the movie already, without seeing it, because that's dumb. You are playing dumb too successfully for your own good.

same with supergirl.

And same as was pointed out to you in the other thread, not all early reactions are the same. And Christopher Nolan is not the same as Craig Gillespie, director of Cruella and I Tonya. You guys want to hate something, which is fine. You don't have to play so goddamn dumb to justify hating something.


I'll be seeing it in IMAX sometime after the second weekend, because I can't get out to a theater during the first week. Time constraints don't allow me to be super choosy, but I figure I should see the movie filmed totally with imax cameras in the format.

They’ve made shitty movies for a decade now

Yes, I remember when I went to see Hollywood's first bad movie ever produced in 2016.

quote:

---

Not every Supergirl review was an influencer, there were Rotten Tomatoes verified critics in that camp too.

---

Yes, according to the Rotten Tomatoes score, just under half of critics enjoyed Supergirl.

So what are the rules? Critics that go with a perceived consensus are shills, and critics who break from a perceived consensus are also shills? All critics are shills unless they validate your pre-decided opinion?

. I don't think it's a coincidence that they're going so hard on getting presale tickets sold.

---

Yes, I will completely ignore that this was also a huge part of the ticket strategy for Oppenheimer, Nolan's previous woke, weak film that no one had any confidence in.

This movie was neither produced nor distributed by HBO. It's just the film's current streaming home.

---

A documentary should show a real person, group, or situation and show all sides.

---

Very few documentaries do this. Very few documentaries that are considered great documentaries do this.

The Spanish didn't bring many of their women with them to Mexico. The US settlers did. So the Spanish conquerors/soldiers copulated with a lot of the native women.

This is wildly incorrect.
