Because it was a poo poo movie. The review percentage doesn't matter. It still made hundreds of millions of dollars, which is not something any other non-comic book movie rated ~25% positive would have ever made. The negative reviews were part of the marketing, people thought "how could a movie with my favorites batman AND superman be bad?". Besides, my point was more directed at oscar-bait movies. Movies with no merit that are only made to win awards. Name a best picture winner since 2002 that was actually a good to great movie.

Return of the King wasn't exactly oscar bait, although the LoTR movies are boring as gently caress.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I'm talking about serious movies, not idiotic comic book movies. Any movie with "vs" in the title is doomed. It will still make money though because somehow hollywood convinced people that comic book movies = worth seeing so they will watch literally anything as long as it has the comic book logo on it. Batman vs Superman still grossed over 300 million dollars, and it's not because the movie was good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramer_vs._Kramer I think that one did pretty well.

Fellowship got robbed for "Best adapted screenplay" a few years before that though by Gosford Park. When your script is "based off an idea by" the writer/director, that doesn't count as an adaptation. Of all the Jackson Tolkien adaptations, Fellowship is probably the closest to the source material in both plot and appearance on the other hand. Then again, most of the Oscars any more are making up to people/movies that get robbed by robbing someone more deserving of the award in subsequent years and giving it to the earlier rob-ee.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I think it is very clear by now that the reviewing industry in general whether it is music, movies, or literature, is a bought and paid for industry. If you paid your dues to the media and greased the right wheels, your mediocre movie is on the way to a guaranteed oscar nomination. Honest media is dead and it's never coming back. So everyone who likes and respects Kanye as an artist is just deluded because the lamestream media has been tricking us for all these years?

I have nothing against people who have weird fetishes, but at the same time if you have a really weird fetish I think it's ok for someone to make fun of it. Like if your fetish is that you like farting on balloons that's really weird and you should have enough self awareness to know that it's a weird fetish. I would never argue for making weird fetishes illegal or anything though.

The thing is yeah there are a lot of issues with the film review world as well as the award shows. But just going they are all bought and paid for and I don't like them but everyone else does is silly as hell.

People with weird fetishes should keep them to themselves. The problem is too many people, especially on the internet, think its a good idea to share them, completely unasked and unprovoked. It's like, goddamn i dont care if you and your SO are into weird poo poo, just don't bring it up for no reason.

No, it's just a long-standing thing where she's a bit, let's say, picky about her music. So I play up liking stuff with no artistic merit for what I hope is harmless fun.

The best thing to do is to just accept that humans, as a whole, are weird and gross and we do weird and gross things. It won't bother you if you just shrug and go "meh, whatever" in the face of anything harmless. Most fetishes are just that: harmless.

while i couldn't care less what goes on between other consenting adults, kinks/fetishes are a lot less exciting when you actually encounter them in person, in the wild try meeting someone who has reduced the whole of their attraction to you onto your ethnicity or whatever, or try meeting someone who acts like they need painal to live for a pair of actually common ones; it's not always going to be a dumb harmless thing like having to scream marx puns at the top of your lungs while you seize the means of reproduction hard counter has a new favorite as of 00:42 on Dec 31, 2016 |

Pot smells worse imo. Like burning assy garbage. Also most people will actually go outside to smoke cigarettes since they have some sense of shame driven into them, whereas pot smokers are often inconsiderate as hell and just reek the place up without asking or whine when you tell them to go outside.

All pot smells like skunk to me. Also, I prefer folks vaping to pot, cigarette and cigar smoking. I haven't encountered the stereotype so I'm sure that has something to do with it, but I think I might choose jackassery over hosed lungs anyway.

The thing that bugs me is how defensive they get when you ask them to smoke their weed outside. They will insist up and down that the smell goes away and it hardly even smells like anything etc. These are usually the same people who don't take care of their cat very well but insist their house doesn't reek of cat piss.

Jackson changed scenes and details at practically every turn, and not just the big stuff people remember and pretend others are aghast about (Bombadil). His The Hobbit is far, far closer to the book.
