CoolioD1 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I thought The Tree of Life was OK. But when I watched it again I like, cried all the way through. I don't know what the fuck happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm not sold on the TOL ending. But if Malick had nailed it (for me), it'd be one of my greatest films ever. No joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPink Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Speaking of jokes, where's Ed? I gifted him the Nolan Director's Set, so he won't be back for a month. Actually he's probably going to be praying all week to make sure Peyton Manning doesn't choke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted January 15, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted January 15, 2014 Glenn Beck and some of his listeners have cast themselves as real-world trolls today in their attacks on a former BoxOffice Editor, Amy Nicholson, and her review of LONE SURVIVOR. I have no opinion on the movie or its subject matter, but the vitrolic hatemail/hatetweet campaign being waged against her is sick and unjustified. Drop her an encouraging line when you get a chance. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To take this to another, even more ridiculous and absurdly ugly level, there's another Amy Nicholson on Twitter who's getting hammered right now.

grim22 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) She got attacked for another review last year. Was it TDKR ? Avengers actually. She was the first rotten review. People do realize that only 72% of critics and 69% of "Top Critics" gave "Lone Survivor" a 'Fresh' rating right? Even if we hate RT and their aggregator, that still means that there are other critics who did not like the movie. Why was Amy's review picked out? For example, here is David Edelstein's blurb: Lone Survivor is a brutally effective movie, made by people who think that they're serving their country. But they're just making us coarser and more self-centered. Similarly, Cole Smithey's blurb: If the movie had stuck closer, much closer to the facts, then perhaps it might have had a chance of representing something more than merely another throwaway piece of patriotic breast-beating. Both those reviews are pretty similar in sentiment to what Amy said, the whole "controversy" here confuses me.

Plain Old Tele Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I really hope it's not this, but it seems fairly misogynist to me. She's hardly the only critic (or person) to be critical about LONE SURVIVOR (including some vets). Why direct all the vitriol at her? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Avengers actually. She was the first rotten review. I think New York Times' A O Scott also got attacked after Samuel L Jackson didn't like his review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted January 15, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) There's a big difference between a few fanboys attacking a critic's review of a superhero movie, and a national "celebrity" inspiring his followers to spam out her e-mail and Twitter with some seriously ugly, sexist comments. We all know what fan trolls are capable of; apply that to a much larger scale with a lot more people, and it's a rather frightening look at how much courage some idiots get when they're behind a keyboard.
