So to what extent do we believe that their review of Promising Young Woman was legitimate?

Did they believe what they were saying or did they see that one reviewer get absolutely roasted and cancelled for what wasn't even mild criticism and they adjusted accordingly?

The movie was unfathomably bad on almost every level and I was looking forward to an honest assessment from RLM but their channel is their careers and livelihoods now and I think they know what would have happened if they did not tow the line, here.

If they were worried, they could have ignored the movie, as they do with 99% of movies that aren't comic book based.

And the woke-scolds already consider RLM to be fascist vanguard, so they have nothing to lose.

It's a struggle for an elderly forum such as this one to understand that things from 30 years ago are old. But we continue to work towards understanding this phenomenon

I legit think they liked PYW especially because they didn’t spoil the ending despite having a spoiler warning. They respected the ending quite a bit, it seems.

Captain Marvel 2 is going to make Iron Man 3 look like Citizen Kane and they're going to politely say it was a solid B+ I enjoyed it please don't take away our big fat checks youtube.

if they were trying to cover their asses over giving the movie a bad review why would mike literally on camera mention this very point out loud about what he was thinking going into watching and reviewing the movie

or did you not watch the review and just show up in this thread you've never posted in before just to stir up poo poo

RLM doesn't care about getting roasted. They crap on movies that are way more likely to get them a firestorm of bullshit than some indie film without wide distribution.

Like that reviewer who you say got canceled has a publisher and bosses who can notice that they're getting dragged. You can't call RLM's manager over their bad opinions. All they have to do is no get kicked off youtube and not piss off their fanbase and they're making money for as long as Rich's looks hold up.

It's not quite the same thing but critical darlings like Crash exist, I assume because of the message and not the content. RLM doesn't give a poo poo though

I had just expected better from RLM.

I was looking forward to literally anyone talking honestly about how abysmally bad the movie was and I was hoping it'd be them. But I guess not.

Whether or not they're protecting their livelihoods or they actually believe what they say. Either is a frustrating disappointment.

Can you articulate why you think the movie is abysmally bad? Or do you need critics to do your thinking for you?

I think you might just be in the minority on that one; I had some problems with the movie but I had a good time watching it overall.

i watched captain marvel a week ago, i thought it was fine. bree larson was fine with the exception of maybe a couple of over-quippy lines. the only scene i thought was really dumb was the fight in the spaceship when she gets her powers and they're hitting each other with pinball machines with that 'i'm just a girl' song. otherwise it was fine for what it was

The Psycho Goreman section is some of the most dense content on the half in the bag side in memory. Just a guy who directed space cop finding reasons to grumble about a movie that is basically space cop but unimaginably better for 30 minutes. Unparalleled mike psyche window

Even at 30 time is starting to slip me by.

I was going to say that I was one of the original cool kids who grew up on Reddit and was with it from the early days, but grew disillusioned with it in recent years because it’s all just echo chambers, karma whoring and corporate shills. So I came to this adorable relic from the early internet. But then I realized that Reddit started in 2005 and is only 6 years younger than SA.
