2019: the year it became impossible to make a movie staring women.
Seriously? Some of y’all are looking too hard into this. She reacts that way because Peter asked her out on a date, even though she’s engaged. Nothing to do with the food or being on a diet. She’s in a relationship and another man is trying to suit her. Not complicated.
The first film is bad, but this one is among the worst films of its decade.
You’ve definetly got a great grasp at comedy. You honestly really had me at first!
I spent years thinking he had a nomination. It was just one of those things that seemed so obvious about the film. You know the film recieved multiple Oscars and when you watch his performance you instantly go “yep, there’s one of the Oscars!” Very hard to believe he didn’t even get nominated. The SS Indianapolis monologue seemed like it should be one of the great Oscar moments.
Techinically Aliens had two strong female characters: Ripley and Vasquez. Hell, Vasquez was literally a muscular, short-haired feminist who hated being called a woman and wanted to fight among the men. Her character is quite literally everything conservative audiences hate today, and nobody has a problem with her I guess?
But where are all these raving libtards foaming at the mouths about women and minorities wiping white male actors out of the industry like EVERY conservative claims? The only ones I’ve seen actually express the mentality are the extreme radical leftists that take up maybe 1% of all liberals. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of conservatives pick up their torches and pitchforks anytime a new trailer comes out with a minority or female attacted to the lead. Just go check out the Terminator: Dark Fate boards to see a sea of “logical” anti-SJW incels calling the movie that hasn’t even been released yet “propagandic” just because it shows women being strong in the trailer. Then, count all the posts from liberals going “yes, this is the future, destroy all white men!” Because that number will be a resounding zero.
I love that argument. “It’s not sexism, it’s accuracy!” “It’s not racism, it’s fact!” This can occasionally be true actually, but conservatives so flippantly toss out these comments whenever something anti-SJW is portrayed on screen. And of course, it’s the whites who are under attack, not any other minority group, right?
Yep! It’s ridiculous now that it’s practically impossible for a movie to star a woman or black guy and NOT be seen as having a political agenda to some people. A movie stars a woman. Like, who gives a shit? What’s funniest of all is that most of the incels who are bitching about the new Terminator movie staring Linda Hamilton were the same ones going “I’m not sexist, I love Sarah Connor!”
My grandfather served two tours in Vietnam and said Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and Casualties Of War were the most accurate films he had seen about the war. The films he called the most innacurate were The Deer Hunter, Good Morning Vietnam, and The Green Berets, but understood that realism wasn’t the point of the first two aforementioned films; The Deer Hunter in particular very realistically portrayed post-war life far better than wartime life, according to him. The only one he took offense to was The Green Berets, which he called “hollywood propaganda bullshit”.
The Thing has a simple yet effective opening credit sequence: the white Albertus font on black background, the pulsating bass synth, the slow pace. Fade in to see outer space interrupted by a saucer crashing to earth. The music stops, the shot holds on earth. In small font “John Carpenter’s”...pause...then “THE THING” burns onto the screen like a flame. Fade away, first scene. It’s subtle and brilliant, much like the film.
Ebert was always alot more open to things being unique, creative, or unconventional. Siskel was always very snobby and quick to roll his eyes at anything unusual, mostly in horror or science fiction. Like with Tremors, for example, Ebert is able to recognize the writing, directing, fun characters, etc, while Siskel goes “A movie about giant man-eating worm monsters?! Preposterous!”
Ebert all the way. Rest in peace to both of them though
He blatantly stole his idea for “Under The Dome” from The Simpsons Movie, and nobody noticed or cared.
That’s right, I became a really masculine man! #guns
RT is definitely skewing stuff. There are reviews that gave the movie 2/5 stars or C-, yet the site calculates them as ‘fresh’ scores! In what world is a 2/5, below halfway, a positive review?
In terms of nominations, I think best actor to both Pitt and Leo, best art direction, best editing, maybe best cinematography, best hair and makeup, and best picture. I don’t think Tarantino will recieve any nominations for writing or directing. The only thing I think it has a chance winning is art direction and best actor to Leo.
Nay. An edgy 7th graders’s perspective on racism and corruption that somehow got turned into a Hollywood production.
The Trench was a painful read. Too much rapey sex and russian espionage straight out of a terrible late 60’s exploitation film, all of which has NOTHING to do with the plot, and the kronosaurus literally doesn’t appear until the last 3 pages. The third book I recall being better, but it was as if Steve Alten discovered sex for the first time and decided inject everything he wrote with “platinum-haired blondes”.

He had a bad season in 2015 but was otherwise great. Maybe not legendary, but had he not kneeled for a flag, he’d be well rememebered. Sorry not sorry for presenting facts and logic, snowflake. Go find your anti-SJW safe space.
Trump admitted in the 90’s that his IQ was in the 105-115 range, which is about average. Of course, I can’t find the interview where he said this anymore, probably erased like many other “unflattering” facts about him.
Probably 2 and 5.
