self-indulgent, pretentious, empty, irritating...


Just a few words that came to mind while watching this POS.

I'd just like to thank Terrence for taking the time to make a two-hour endurance test about how empty Hollywood lives are. He really has an amazing grasp on the absolutely obvious.

What is even funnier is the way that the entirety of Hollywood flocks to him for the chance to be in one of his films that the public usually rejects. Thus film made $558,000? The irony.... Gotta love pretension...

Oh, God, no. And I just left the "Ghostbusters" board behind because I was exhausted over how the nuts took over.

Again, why do you always care so much about what a movie makes at the box office? Box office has never confirmed and will never confirm whether something genuinely is a good movie or a bad movie, only what's popular with a general audience at the time of release...

...wait a minute, why are you even ON the "Knight of Cups" page? Fassbender isn't even in this movie. "Weightless" is the one he'll probably be in that anyone who's aware of you and your "routine" will anticipate your basic dog and pony show with bored trepidation.

* and by the way, "The Tree of Life" is a more emotionally fulfilling movie about the relationship between man and God than "God's Not Dead" will ever be. And that's because Malick, with an A.B. in philosophy from Harvard, understands faith better than most people ever will and doesn't use his beliefs to scam money out of believers with patronizing stories about people who use their beliefs to basically tell cardboard cutouts they're better than them because they believe. Even Malick's next film understands that and it's about someone who was made a martyr by the Nazis for standing up for his beliefs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radegund_(film)

That's funny. I didn't realize Christians were supposed to ask permission of atheists to comment on boards or have certain thoughts? And as far as Christians not calling people names, clearly you have never read the Bible. The Apostles and Jesus called it like it was. But yes, you are right, perhaps I should stay closer to the text? Perhaps I should call you a demon, goat on the left, or son of perdition instead dear? No problem. Done. By the way, thanks for calling me the Valiant Christian of IMDB. But please, no fan praise as you should not engage in idolatry...
