In today's edition of Cancel Culture....

Watched Life Itself (the Dan Fogelman one) this evening with the girlfriend and....it wasn't bad? Don't know what the critics saw that resulted in a 14% RT score. Clearly the audience disagreed, given the 83% audience score. We enjoyed it. 6/10

Holy crap! That's pretty cool!

Ralph Fiennes is the best! Looking forward to this.

Angelina Jolie in the first Tomb Raider launched me into puberty.

Soooo the Bubba Wallace incident was a whole lotta nothing. Congrats everyone.

The nature of those breakdown videos is that they waaaaay overthink things. The movie will be fine.

That's a good sign!

Speaking of games, recently started playing Watch Dogs for the first time (for $9 bucks on the X-Box store, why not?). I'm kinda hooked.

Ah, gotcha. We'll see what comes of it. What's the general feeling on COVID over there in the UK? Fear? Desperation to open up again?

Meh, I'm not sure. It will get old quick. There's only so long people will keep up the buzz and conversation before saying "release the damn movie already or I'm out".

So #BrownFragility and #BrownComplicity are trending on Twitter. For real. Check this out I can't anymore. 😂

Huh. I hadn't heard this. I figured clinical approval - which hasn't happened yet, to my knowledge - would be necessary before an order of this magnitude.

I am aware, and that's my entire point. I realize we can't avoid the court of public opinion but that's why I'm counting on the grown ups - aka the studio, Spielberg, etc. - to not engage in that and wait for due process, like how WB handled the Johnny Depp situation leading up to Fantastic Beasts 2. Let Twitter and woke folks cancel away. They have no power but to rage amongst themselves (so long as nobody caves to it - I know that they in fact do have a lot of power nowadays with people in power caving ).

Uh, no. I'm waiting for some sort of investigation to take place and then waiting to see if he's actually charged and then convicted? Have we completely forgotten the concept of due process and how a court of law works in the age of cancel culture?
