    Get Out (Jordan Peele, 2017)...



    Is this....horror....satire?

    What a curious thing. Shades of The Wicker Man almost, if contained in a totally different body.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    What the heck? I literally looked back like ten pages for a thread before posting. I don't get it.

    Leave it to Armond White to be the reviewer to ruin the perfect rating.

    He was also the reviewer to ruin the perfect rating of Toy Story 3. Gave negative reviews to La La Land, Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight and positive reviews to Batman V Superman, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (the racist one) and Grown Ups, which is currently spotting a 10% TM.

    We get it White.

    While I think White is a terrible reviewer, I have never understood why anyone would care enough about ratings aggregation results to sent hate mail (or tweets) over what he writes.

    The dude's opinion has been consistent for decades. I hardly know what people are accusing him of anymore.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I honestly thought White wasn't even included / participated in the Tomatometer anymore.

    I now know that he is, therefore he got what he wanted.
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    Fond memory of when he was very positive to THE HURT LOCKER in the middle of 2009 only to turn against it later in the year, probably when he realized that other people loved it too.
    Midnight Run (1988) - 9
    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5
