    Shit like this makes me wish hell was real solely so Mitch McConnell has a place to go when he dies.

    I only want to let them know that they’re in the minority if they’re making demonstrably false claims to seed some other point about the movie, the direction of the franchise, etc. “Disney needs to do X because a lot of people hated The Last Jedi,” stuff? Yes, I will point out that most people did in fact really like the movie and that people who don’t like it are a loud minority because that claim starts with a false premise. It’s not a “suck it, your opinion is the minority,” kind of thing. It’s not like I’m unfamiliar with the feeling. I think The Phantom Menace is the best of the prequels and that despite Return of the Jedi having probably the best individual moments in the whole franchise, it’s deeply flawed and is barely a good movie.

    If it took more than a fucking century to figure out that you get more batters out if you stand here instead of there, the entire sport should be federally banned and all wins should be vacated from every team. Erase it from existence.

    He might not know what it literally means but there is ZERO CHANCE that Trump is unaware of the word mongoloid.

    Now and forever... fuck Marco Rubio.

    I am shocked that you are incapable of identifying parody. Shocked I say!

    No that can’t be right. My confirmation bias penis doesn’t get erect when i read thread titles for just no reason.

    Terminator fans are like bowling pins getting set up by the machine and talking to one another about how this time nobody’s going to knock them down and send them flying.

    100% of the people who have done this to me have been over 40. Also I would say that when I’ve gotten far enough in th job application process to get a face to face interview, the number of companies that let me know I won’t be receiving an offer is < 10%. Dunno if it’s the industry, the geography... whatever. But in my experience whenever I read articles like this about how younger workers behave, it’s almost always the more experienced, older people who I see doing those things.

    Despite enjoying discussions around why someone might or might not like it, I don't have a problem letting anyone like or dislike it. I am constantly confused by the insistence that people at large did not like it despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. So lots of people like something that some people don't. Who cares? Again, I really dislike the prequels but people love them. Who cares?
  12. Kal-El814
    Again, this is demonstrably false. We can have (and have had, to the consternation of our glorious leader) discussions as to whether or not TLJ is a good movie. But the general moviegoing public loved it and there's evidence for this.

    CInemascore isn't my opinion. You don't end up with an A there if a "significant chunk" of moviegoers dislike something. I think Episode II is a fucking abomination and the prequels are generally really bad, but... audiences fucking love them despite what enthusiasts on the internet say. I don't know why this just gets chronically ignored when talking about fan reaction to TLJ.

    Not by any objective measure, but okay.

    I can't believe that people are still clinging to the notion that anything other than a small, very vocal minority disliked The Last Jedi.

    Let's be honest, baseball is meaningfully better for almost everyone when the Yankees are bad, especially when they are not in the playoffs.

    I'd guessed Louisiana.

    God of War is a really fascinating mix of incredibly realized and incredibly wasted potential.

    I need @sblfilms in here.

    I’ve not had this problem, but I have not reproduced.

    We have had SO MUCH Obi-Wan between 6 movies, Clone Wars, and Rebels that a stand-alone movie is just... no thank you.
  23. Kal-El814
    Yeah I liked this a lot, but it’s really trying to have its cake and eat it, too. It’s superficially fun, which is totally fine, but I think its underlying message is almost completely kneecapped by what the characters do, the ultimate outcome of the story, and the medium itself. “Hey, people don’t trust the government these days and screens sure are potentially harmful. But the problems here are solved by the laws changing almost magically and let’s ignore the fact that you probably already preordered the digital version of this for your kids to watch on a tablet.”
  24. Kal-El814
    I was thinking the same thing.
  25. Kal-El814
    That’s not how boycotts work, Star Wars fans, lol.
