75Live Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 wow, this thread turned into sadly what I thought it would when the reviews went south. Geez, I had to put someone on ignore before because I couldn't take the constant "promo" stuff about nothing. It's nothing against the person but I couldn't even read the thread when that was happening. Now the "fans" are making it even worse. The reviews and stuff are out there. It's real, get over it. Watch the movie if you want, I'll probably still see it regardless of all the stuff. But you can't have it both ways. Why don't people get if you are extreme on one side (which is bad) , you are going to get the extreme on the other side to counter it (which is also bad). It's just how it goes. So now can we all play nice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) I couldn't care less what some Hollywood starlet apparently did in real life according to gossip sites. Maybe some would do good to follow my example... Edited December 16, 2016 by Elessar 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftershocks Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 75, I get what you're saying, but the fact is that there are a number of individuals on all forums who make a point of not playing nice. It's not as give-and-take as you make it out to be, and it falls on moderators to ban trolls who keep purposefully derailing discussions and starting fights. Personally, I don't like having to create an account for a site just so I can ignore one or two users and debunk nonsense in the hopes that it will stop being repeated and I don't have to put more people on ignore. This has nothing at all to do with the reviews. Everyone is free to say that they are happy to have been right about the movie ending up being bad. However, personal attacks on one of the stars are not only out of place, but uncalled for, and it's the kind of thing that has caused other movie forums to become impossible to be a part of.

Are you trying to imply that she is dating a director to further her career? "Personal" attacks against pampered, entitled Hollywood brats are uncalled for, dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftershocks Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) And now my ignore feature seems to not be working... Nvm, I figured it out. Gotta check all those boxes. I feel like "ignore" should be all-inclusive in the first place, but whatever. Edited December 16, 2016 by aftershocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best ignore feature is the one that is built-in in all of our brains. In other words, whenever someone "attacks" your favorite wealthy Hollywood-brat-who-could-care-less-about-your-or-my-opinion, you move on and ignore it. Trust me, I have been there (I was also personally **offended** whenever anybody dared "insult" the DCEU or any of my faves), but I have learned to master my built-in ignore feature. It is an awesome feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misafeco Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 @CochoflesPlease stop. You only make the situation worse. This is the Passengers thread. If you guys want to argue about Jennifer Lawrence's personal life, make a topic in the Speakeasy section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was in regards to the critical trashing Passengers is getting and how there might be issues in Jlaw's recent public outings that may be of concern to her handlers as potential box office deterrents for the film. I still think her PR people will certainly ask her to watch her mouth in regards to anything that may be perceived as "controversial" or that could alienate any segment of the ticket-buying public. At this moment, her box office clout will be tested because this film is not a franchise and has only one other star in its cast who is also unproven beyond brand-name franchises. If Jlaw stans take that kind of talk as "personal" attacks, that's their business, not mine. Edited December 16, 2016 by Cochofles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he also happens to be the male lead, and it was not what the producers intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF? Nobody ever expected Passengers to be Next Gravity let alone Avatar. This is setting up for failure. BatB next year won't be Next Avatar and it has timeless, most iconic love story.
