I haven't seen Passengers yet but I saw Collateral Beauty over the weekend and lol that article is total bullshit. Critics didn't blast the film to be mean, they blasted it because it really is that awful.
Everyone will be moving on to "it's a conspiracy against Ben Affleck!" in a few days when the Live by Night reviews come in (early word has been going around on Twitter that it's a stinker for some time now).
It's a joke, silly. Or is it? Since it's no secret there are a lot of people (aka insecure white dudes) that are threatened by women and believe they're being oppressed (aka they're afraid of karma).
According to some corners, that is considered a conspiracy towards trying to take us away from the good ole days. Curse women for actually speaking up!
I'm not the one obsessing over Passengers and trying to make it seem like there's a conspiracy out there to take the movie down.
And I'm someone who is still gonna see the movie and hope to enjoy it despite the poor reviews (then again, anything looks good after suffering through Collateral Beauty), even though one of the main plot points sounds like a groan-inducing trope that needs to be retired forever.
Because I'm so tired of JLaw stans trying to make it seem like the media is out to get poor little JLaw. In fact, it feels like the only people who have "turned against" her are doing so for the same exact reason they adored her in 2012/2013. And that is the most downright pathetic reason to suddenly despise a celebrity anyway so those people should be paid no mind.
And really, if your feelings are hurt by "defensive stan" then none of us can really help you. Come back when you've matured a bit. Bye.
lol where in my post did I call you a name? "Almost everything you've been posting since this in this thread has been pretty defensive" is name-calling?
You need to develop some thicker skin. There's a reality check for ya.
@trifle, no offense, but even though you said you weren't a defensive JLaw stan a few days ago, almost everything you've been posting since this in this thread has been pretty defensive.
Besides, if you have to go the extra mile to convince yourself that the critics have got it in for this movie, that means you're aware it's probably not all that great.
Did anyone else see that Deadline article that tried to paint the bad reviews for Collateral Beauty as a "schoolyard assault" against the movie and that the mean critics sank it.
lol no. Critics didn't go after the movie to be mean, they went after it because it really is a terrible piece of shit that belongs in the Hall of Shame.
