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 😛

So with sellouts, I often take them at a face value and just accept them as is, with noting to people a caveat that this sellout could not totally be legit. In an instance where the sellout disappears and the numbers drop like a rock, I just keep all my previous data as is. It can be annoying and a bit inaccurate, but data like this typically doesn't matter until the last day of presales anyways so you just gotta roll with the punches.

As a Clifford the Big Red Dog diehard at the age of 3, I am slightly offended that Kel Mitchell, who delivered such an iconic performance as T-Bone in the PBS cartoon, doesn't even have a cameo while Kenan Thompson gets to appear here. They probably should have gotten Jason Ritter as the dad too, in honor of his father.

Honey, I'm trying to forget that monstrosity of a subplot whenever I can. It's honestly disgusting how dirty they were treated in Beasts 2

Honestly I kind of wished these movies were just about Queenie and Jacob than all this Beasts or Grindelwald/Dumbledore nonsense. They're the only thing in the first movie that was truly interesting and compelling for me and a 5-movie series about a kindly baker trying to make his own business while falling in love with a young witch is just...too pure. Would have won all the Oscars.

See I never liked this GIF/meme used in the context of "good not great reviews". The context in the movie is Conner4Real's new album is getting panned by critics, with one of them just giving a poop emoji as its score, which then cues him to say "Mixed, let's call it mixed reviews." The context here on BOT should be when a film is getting slammed by critics. That way the reference makes more sense and the joke is therefore funnier. When I saw Cap's picture, I thought people were dumping on the movie.

But hey, gotta take what you can get for these situations

Okay so I'm a dumbass. I thought this said "Optimus Prime". Did not notice the "Primal". Carry on then. Yay Ron Perlman
