Yeah, I recall without remorse being about Clancy's Marine Todd insert, an aging white *~OPERATOR~* who gets called back into the game.

Edit: I hope MBJ gets over 'Nam

Yeah it�s John Clark�s �origin story.� Probably won�t be a Vietnam vet, but something something Iraq or Afghanistan. I do wonder if it connects to the Jack Ryan Chris Pine movie or the Jim From The Office TV show

Let's recap!

Me this morning:

drat I can't believe they gave such an okay-ish review to such a dogshit movie. I like those guys at RLM and aside from a few missteps they usually nail it. What a disappointment!

I wonder to what extent the current climate around this movie may have contributed? Maybe it didn't at all? But Dennis Harvey didn't even give a bad review so much as he failed to gush about it like everyone else and he not only experienced professional retaliation but he had Carey Mulligan herself going after him.

I wonder if the RLM guys own history of being unfairly targeted for being on the wrong side of social issues contributed to what felt like a softball review where they seemed to be walking on eggshells the entire time? I mean. Their channel is their business and livelihood and they must be aware of what's been going on around this movie and with social media websites in general these days.

But I donno maybe they really are just straight shooters who actually did kind of like the movie!

What do you think?

-----

You guys for several pages:

Get the gently caress out you idiot. You moron incel huffing and puffing at his computer. Your best friends from Milwaukee had a different opinion than you? You must be devastated! Why don't you beat it you gamergater incel conspiracy theorist.

-----

I don't really post here as some of you have noted but that just seems nuts. Are you all okay? This does not seem healthy and was a weird thing to come home to after being out at work and doing chores all day.

Lol

Yes but does Michael B. Jordan take his shirt off???

I hope it is Sicario 1 Taylor Sheridan writing and not Sicario 2!

It's hard for me to muster any kind of reaction to Sicario 2 other than "ugh, why?"

Yeah he was referencing the "Muslim prayer mats found at the border" scene. Which is great because a) it doesn't even lead to anything in the movie and b) in real life they turned out to be dirty shirts or something.

Please either offer something of substance about the movie itself beyond "it bad" or stop posting about it, because the "posting about the discussion" meta-commentary is awfully tedious.

Did you see the part where she sent scheduled text messages, yet the person receiving them had ... show up in their messaging app like someone was typing? 2/10 at best, tremendous plot hole.

Hopefully MBJ doesn't go full office jim and do CIA propaganda movies full time but between black panther and this it's not looking good.

I am not in the market to watch PYW kind of character study films anymore (because I am dead I inside), but I was curious enough to seek out the spoiler talk of the ending. I think that is a ridiculous ending, not remotely realistic. It's kind of the ending only film "auteur" can come up with.

Also, lol that Mac and Me alternate ending lol.

And the corresponding amount of time later he tweeted about the mexican cartels having crazy hot rod trucks for evading police / border patrol.

It was magnificent.
