Eric Loves Rey

Warner/Max movies don't do previews. Even In the Heights still dropped on Max on the Thursday it opened. Thanks for letting me know about Space Jam btw. Planning on doing a long-term tracking of that, though I might wait until tomorrow when I'm finished with Boss Baby and Purge.

I mean technically animated stuff like Zootopia or Hotel Transylvania fits in "original blockbuster franchise", though I'm aware that's not what people are fully talking about here.

This...feels kind of backhanded

Does LOTR not count? It's technically three movies back to back, but still.

Ummmm.....okay?

Needs more BTS

Can't complain too much at this point.

But this jump is a real rough one. But hey, still two more days left of action

Doesn't matter how rare it is. These types of creepy remarks should be at zero. 1 does not equal zero. And while I will concede that this kind of stuff likely would happen to men if more women wrote for the trades and might have been done before...that still doesn't excuse it. It was wrong then and it's wrong now and people should call people out for this kind of behavior. If you're not offended, I respect that, but that doesn't mean other's can't nor shouldn't call out this kind of stuff, especially women who consistently deal with this garbage

You know how I act when it comes to my celebrity crushes and I'm one of the most sex-positive people you will ever meet. However, I still think it's supremely unprofessional as a critic to take part in this kind of behavior in a review for a movie. Bradshaw could have easily talked about ScarJo's other attributes or even just talked about how he enjoyed Nat as an independent, femme fatale-esque figure. But instead, he just went off on a weird tangent that because he just couldn't take his hands out of his pants. And yeah this stuff just...doesn't happen when professional female critics talk about attractive men in movies. Whether people like it or not, this is perpetuating patriarchal male gaze nonsense and it's bizarre to me people are fine with that.

Timothee My Beloved saved the movies. Can this man do any wrong?

Reviews are up. Info's getting leaked. You nerds know the drill.

Moderation Not the Wonder Woman 1984 thread. I don't know why I have to explain this, but please stay focused

To be fair, you think everything looks ugly 😛
