  1. "Ever wondered what it would be like if Batman, Joker and Catwoman were all teenage high school students caught in a love triangle? " Never. Not once.

  2. 6:41 "At a certain point it becomes a complete waste of time to care about anything that happens in those movies because the next one's probably just going to undo everything you just saw." Now you've gotten to the heart of it. People not caring is the point. Destruction and demoralization is the point.

  3. He should've known what it would be from the pictures and trailers. That was enough for me. And yet people are STILL giving it eyeballs and money. That's what gets me.

  4. "1917 is a movie about men" - YIPPEE! Count me in. I am SO tired of women taking over every movie. (And I'm a woman.)
    245
  5. "I just DON'T CARE about Star Wars anymore" As a 51 year old who's been a fan since "A New Hope", I never dreamed I'd be thinking/saying the same thing.
    243
  6. You know, if they had done this gender bending thing even just a few years ago, I wouldn't have cared too much. I wouldn't have preferred it, but I would've been open to it. It's fantasy, after all. But the fact that they did it now, and in the way it was done, it was so clear they did it to be "politically correct". I can't stand to be manipulated & treated like I'm too stupid to notice. I haven't watched a single full ep, just bits & pieces. After seeing all these reviews and even comments from fans, it's clear my worse fears were justified. It makes me angry. I loved this show.

  7. 4:21 is where my childhood was murdered. I sat there watching this horror and... I remember NOTHING else about the rest of the movie. I didn't even watch the final installment. I just turned 57 and was a fan since childhood. They destroyed that for me. The level of anger I have for what these wicked people have done is off the charts.
    121
  8. I was thinking along the same lines. Does it not shove THE MESSAGE down our throats? Then it seems a candidate for a future rental someday. It's sad that my standards are this low. But here we are. Plus, that title is fantastic!
    99
  9. Some of this stuff I didn't even know. I had not even heard of "Russian Doll." This was so depressing. But it was a bit encouraging too. I hope everyone is getting sick of this identity politics trash.

  10. Seeing young Luke while listening to Drinker's commentary made me remember what SW used to be. It made me want to weep anew at how one of my favorite stories/franchises has been destroyed. "I am a Jedi, like my father before me." Yep. Tearing up for real. We loved Luke because we went on the journey with him. He overcame his failures and he earned his successes. And through him, so did we.
    74
  11. Wow, I had no idea he was that age!
    62
  12. Me too! And I am not even a ST fan!
    57
  13. That filth is STILL on Netflix. And people are STILL paying for it. I saw a clip of a little girl pulling down her pants/underwear and putting her phone down there to take a picture. I was horrified that people are still subscribed to this filth. And even more that parents would allow their child to do something like that.
    47
  14. Exactly! But then when people point it out they are accused of hating women. It doesn't matter how well you make the case that it's because of poor writing/acting, you're made a pariah. "Canceled", to use the parlance of the day. Pretty effective, really.
    44
  15. Too funny!
    40
  16. I stopped watching years ago. (And this from someone who loves all the arts, and used to pretty much mark the seasons by all the awards shows.)
    40
  17. That's how I look at it as well.
    34
  18.  @TayoEXE  Exactly right. Well said. (Woman here!)
    29
  19. Angus McHaggiskilt * dies laughing * I love you!
    26
  20. For real. (And I'm a woman! I can't stand Leftist feminists & their male-bashing.)
    22
  21. I'm over 50. I'm not one of those Star Wars fans that knows all the history and lore and every detail of everything. But I still consider myself a fan, and have been since childhood. I sat in that theater and watched THAT THING they did to a certain character in The Force Awakens and I swear to you, my brain just... stopped. I had been so happy to see beloved characters again! I was willing to overlook all sorts of weaknesses, just to see my beloved story continue. But at that moment, I'm sure I must have gasped out loud. I sat there in shock the entire rest of the movie. I don't remember anything after that moment. I couldn't bring myself to watch The Last Jedi. Something died in me that day, that very instant. I think it was my childhood. It felt like a knife in the gut. Why? Because there was no buildup, no story purpose, nothing. Look, I'm all for heroic ends, when it's done right. But this seemed like something cruel the writers did to intentionally spit in the faces of fans who had supported this franchise for literally DECADES. I'm sure there have been earlier instances of this sort of thing. But this was the one that will stick out in my mind for all time because it was so shocking. That's when I knew how much they hated us.
    21
  22. I'm a woman and also not white and I've been sick of it for a long time now!
    18
  23. That's what's so maddening about it. They can keep churning out crap and any legitimate criticisms will be dismissed as "racist", "sexist", or whatever. Genius, really! The only way to end this is to STOP WATCHING IT. But people refuse to do that. I love this channel and appreciate Drinker's analyses. But even channels like this end up feeding into the problem. Even if you're watching it to review it, you're still giving it what they want - eyeballs and money. They don't care if your review is positive or negative, as long as you WATCH IT! Even negative reviews give it more attention and people who otherwise may not have been interested end up watching it just out of curiosity. And so, the problem will continue.

  24. Masks don't block aerosols.

  25. Aw, don't even tell him!

  26. Villains SHOULD be demonized. The fact that they've now become the heroes demonstrates the continued wickedness and degradation of our society.
    9
  27. After The Force Awakens, I couldn't even bring myself to watch the last one. After what they did to Han, I sat there in shock. My childhood was destroyed in an instant. And that's exactly what they wanted.
    9
  28. "Doctor Impersonator", indeed.
    8
  29. It does work. The intent IS destruction and demoralization of fans. It works perfectly.
    8
  30. THAT'S NOT SOCIAL DISTANCING! YOU WANT TO KILL PEOPLE! /sarc
    8
  31. If it takes me the rest of my days, I will have to find a way to use, "You absolute Spam sandwich" as an insult in ordinary conversation.
    8
  32. I actually disagree. Movies always have some message, whether they intentionally set out to put one in there or not.
    7
  33. Two years later and this is still as good (and as depressing) as ever. At least the Doctor Impersonator seems to be leaving soon. Who knows how the next person will be. I won't be around to find out.
    6
  34. "Following your heart" is a terrible message.
    6
  35. Exactly this.

  36. ​ @Shadow_Hawk_Streaming  Thank you! That's when I began giving up on this show as well. I wanted to get to know her because she seemed very likable. But they had to tell me she's gay every five minutes. WE KNOW! Don't people have more qualities than just that? Good grief!
    6
  37. It was, up until 5 minutes ago. Then they changed the meaning of "racism" to mean that ONLY whites CAN be racists.
    6
  38. @Dave Fraser Treating someone negatively solely based on race is racist. But so is treating someone positively, solely based on race.
    6
  39. 17! That is so sad.

  40. I don't need to see or think about anybody watching p***, much less some morbidly obese guy. Doubly so for watching homosexual p***. Disgusting. The Bible is "religious prejudice" because it teaches it's wrong to commit adultery? Even most secular people still know cheating is wrong. It's doubly wrong to abandon your child for it. And on top of it all, not for another woman, but MAN?! Wow. Just wow.
    5
  41. @Shim Bro Same. There are many old movies and shows I missed for whatever reasons through the years.
    5
  42. Absolutely right. (And I'm a woman!)
    5
  43. Just a little while ago I saw someone in a comments section call it, "Rings of Prime." Perfect! And, yes, this is an intentional destruction. I usually never judge a movie by its trailer, but even the glimpses I've seen of this look awful. This is actually the most I've seen of these teasers/trailers. I had no idea that was supposed to be Galadriel or that she's made to be some sort of warrior elf here. LOL!
    5
  44. Yeah, I hope it's not all "girlboss/strong female character". We'll see.
    5
  45. Haven't seen the movie and now have no desire to. But that's what I got from this review, as well as from a more detailed, point by point plot description I read on another site. The thing is, it would've been bad enough if he'd left his family for another woman. Why make it a man? To hear Drinker call it religious prejudice or bigotry (some phrase like that) felt like a punch in the gut. If it had been another woman instead of man, would he have said that? Most people, Christian or religious or not, still know it's morally wrong to cheat and leave your spouse like that. Doubly so if it involved leaving your child. He would've never called it religious prejudice/bigotry if it had been a woman. But because for 2,000 years, and way more than that, if you include the Old Testament, the Bible has frowned on sodomy. It's not like it's a secret. And I'm guessing it's not the only religion that does. But it's always Christians/Christianity that's the villains. No other religion is treated this way, except maybe Judaism at times. And that's just the root of Christianity, so it's similar. This was so disappointing.
    5
  46. It's not "incompetence." It's intentional destruction.
    5
  47. Yes, thank you! I just feel sorry for any younger people for whom this will be their first exposure to it. But maybe it will lead them to the original 3 Peter Jackson movies and especially the Tolkien books. They will then see what crap they were fed here.
    5
  48. That's the message I always got from all the Disney princess movies! When was there ever an ugly one? @MrDeothor 
    5
  49.  @nelisezpasce  I hope that's not the case! But if an accusation has no evidence to support it, I ignore it.
    4
  50. Part 2, please!
    4
  51. That's why I've held on to my CDs and DVDs! (And why I wish I had the $$ to buy all my favorites, before they are made to disappear forever.)
    4
  52. I'm 50+, SW fan since childhood. SW died for me when they did THAT THING to a beloved character in The Force Awakens. I sat there in shock. They destroyed my childhood.
    4
  53.  @jamesxenophon9505  You must have been reading different books.
    4
  54. I finally saw Part 1 yesterday. I about screamed when I saw that nonsense with Kynes. And they ruined the character's conclusion as well, which was one of my favorite parts of the book!
    4
  55. Same. And I'm a woman!
    4
  56. I think I watched the first episode. Like Drinker, it didn't catch me. I ended up thankful because I was spared the cancellation. I cannot stand being left hanging. I watched from afar as the fans were crushed. Through the years I never stopped hearing how great it was and started feeling left out. (Which I also hate.) Then Serenity came along. I was bored and figured, why not? I didn't understand everything. But I liked the characters and was enjoying it so much that I resolved early on that I would go back and watch FF. Then they did THAT BAD THING to a character. I'll leave it at that to not spoil anyone. I was horrified! It came out of nowhere! I eventually learned that Whedon does that. He loves tormenting his characters and his audience - not for any storytelling reasons, but just because he can. He did it to me in Buffy. He really did it to me in Angel. I will NEVER watch anything Whedon again. Never.
    4
  57. I'm light skinned, but actually Puerto Rican. All this obsession with skin color/race confuses & bores me to tears. I've never cared one way or the other what color or race anyone is!
    4
  58.  @ndoris  That's why I'm a woman and would have little interest in a female president.
    4
  59. Perfect!
    3
  60. Same.

  61. Coming back to this in 2023 after seeing clips and reviews of the current and continued destruction of my beautiful show. This had me in tears.
    3
  62.  @JLAvey  Wow! I would love to see Raiders on the big screen! I can't remember if I did when I was a child. Maybe. I am old, after all.

  63. This is why people have to be buying hard copies of their favorite movies/shows/music! And physical books, not just ebooks. I work barely part time so I can't do much. But even before THE MESSAGE started being shoved down our throats 24/7, I bought a new copy of Gone With the Wind, both book and movie. I could already feel the rumblings of censorship starting. I've bought a better copy of 1984 and Brave New World. I bought a new study Bible with large print that should last me the rest of my life. I even bought a pocket sized, leather bound copy of the American Constitution. I will keep buying other things as I am financially able. They are not going to stop until they 1) destroy everything that doesn't conform to THE MESSAGE, and 2) reprogram everyone, especially the younger generations. Get physical copies of your favorite movies/shows/music/books while you still can. You can find great deals on ebay. Video streaming services, music streaming services, and ebook services can all disappear things they deem, "problematic." If you have children, especially, get those classics/favorites for them now, while you still can. All of this is intentional. We are in a woke commie revolution. Wake up!
    3
  64. @ Ashes. What comes after that? I don't think they even think that far. They're like older kids having a tantrum. They destroy their own room, games, electronics, whatever. Then, when they are worn out, they're wailing, "WAAAH! EVERYTHING IS BROKEN!" Moron, you did it, yourself!
    3
  65. @245-TRIOXIN "Liet Kynes is supposed to be a 'male' character." THANK YOU! I am late to this party. I only just saw Part 1 this week. I did like most of it. But when I saw that chick I nearly screamed out loud in shock. Plus they totally changed the ending for the character which was one of my favorite (though horrifying) parts of the book! Then I finally watched Drinker's review of Part 1 and he said NOTHING about any of this!
    3
  66. They don't care if you love it or hatewatch it, as long as they get eyeballs on it and money from it! Stop giving it to them!
    3
  67. He strikes me as a miserable person who may have liked the whole acting thing for a while, but never cared for the fame part of it. He seems like he resents it (except the bazillions of dollars) and now gleefully wants to destroy it all, along with the hearts of his fans.
    3
  68. Every time. It's disappointing to see Drinker supporting such a thing.
    3
  69.  @Mad_scientist_ha_ha_ha  LOL! Learn to read.
    3
  70. OH!!!
    3
  71. Same. I'm in tears.
    3
  72. Wow, I've never seen any of these movies, and just hearing his story arc was depressing!
    3
  73. Don't even talk to me about Doctor Who. I am a New Who convert, but I adored that show. I'm watching the classic eps via Britbox right now. I can't stand that imposter female. Spoilers: I'm a woman!
    3
  74. That's where I am as well. I used to be that teen who bought all the magazines, watched all the interviews, etc. No longer.
    3
  75. That thing was "woke" before woke was a thing!
    3
  76. That's WHY they did this! It's the worst emotional manipulation I've ever seen in a fandom. (I adored Donna!) Ask yourself why they are bringing back old favorites when they have a brand new Doctor they should be promoting? It's bizarre. I've seen next to nothing about him. Why isn't everyone screaming, "Racism!" about that? Tennant and Tate have taken all the attention from him! It's genuinely not right. But why did they do it that way? Because the thing is never the thing. The thing is the revolution.
    3
  77.  @gabrielboorom6196  HA!
    3
  78. Don't you get it yet? The destruction of all these legacy shows is the POINT.
    3
  79. He agreed to do it!
    3
  80. ELROND! * dies laughing * I've never watched ST, but it's enough in the cultural atmosphere that I know many of the characters. This destruction of the character of Picard made me so sad.
    3
  81. Why would anyone think that these days?
    3
  82. I'm going to skip The Little Mermaid actress' comments because I just don't have the energy to be angry right now. As to Beauty & the Beast, that was the first of these childhood classics remakes that I remember intentionally avoiding. Even before THE MESSAGE took over, I thought it was pointless, especially doing it shot-for-shot. Why bother? Plus, Emma Watson annoys me. I loved her as Hermione. But now she reminds me of Kristen Stewart - one expression, all the time. She also is nowhere near beautiful enough for Belle. There. I said it. Even if I'd been interested in the movie, I didn't think she fit the role at all. While I love you, Drinker, I disagree that changing her character was a minor thing! I didn't even know they had done that! (I told you I avoided it. I erased it from my mind as though it never existed.) The fact that she was smart/bookish made her the ONLY Disney princess I ever liked or related to in any way. I was never pretty, so I never related to any of that. And these movies always centered on finding Prince Charming, something I knew I'd never have. But even though she was still princess-gorgeous, at least she was smart and loved books! I could relate to that. Having a library with rolling ladders is still a dream of mine to this day. (Just for clarity, just because I'm saying I never related to princess movies doesn't mean I'm a man-hating feminist. I still enjoyed some of those movies growing up, and even as an adult. See? Just because you can't fully relate to something on a screen doesn't mean you have to go on a crusade to 'BURN IT ALL DOWN!'
    2
  83. They do all this stuff & when audiences either complain or stay away entirely, they label them all "racist" and women haters. That's really what it's all about. Even though it's not my fandom, it really is depressing.
    2
  84. "Indy 5 is going to make many folks appreciate CRYSTAL SKULL more." Ha ha, that was my thought as well. I've mostly erased it from my mind. But if this ends up being as bad as it seems so far, it may look brilliant by comparison!
    2
  85. I've loved Gone With the Wind since at least 8th grade. That's why I a couple of years ago I bought new copies of both the book and the DVD. I knew this sort of thing was coming.
    2
  86. I don't have that trust! He agreed to do The Force Awaken, KNOWING what they were going to do to his character! Yeah, he's a great actor. But he seems to have no problem spitting on the roles - and by extension, the fans - that gave him his career in the first place. He always had the grumpy old man persona even when he was young, but he seemed to keep it under control. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you", and other such cliches. Now that he's actually old, he doesn't give a crap anymore.
    2
  87. "video game journalists" That's a job?
    2
  88. How I wish.
    2
  89. Yep.
    2
  90. You're right. That's really what we all should've done. But we kept having hope things would get better.
    2
  91.  @JustinLHopkins  Thanks for the satire!
    2
  92. I never want to see a man kissing another man on the lips ever again. Turned this off after that. Thanks for explaining what this is. Now I know I never need to see it.
    2
  93. I would've been interested in it until I heard there were sex scenes. Zero interest in that sort of thing, especially in a movie of this type.
    2
  94. Was just looking it up. Maybe I'll check it out. Thanks, I had not even heard of it.
    2
  95. I sure didn't 'have my hopes up.
    2
  96. Oh, thanks. I was hoping it was in theaters and couldn't find any information at all.
    2
  97. Your loss. This was wonderful.
    2
  98. What evil is that? Do tell.
    2
  99. Her reaction was my own!
    2
  100. Hahahahaahaha! Please kill me now.
    2
  101. I hadn't heard this term, but I've been making this point as well. They are destroying all these franchises/fandoms on purpose. They don't care if you love the movie/show, or if you hatewatch it. As long as people continue to make videos, podcasts, posts about it, they're getting ATTENTION. All they want are eyeballs and $, along with the intentional destruction of our culture. Stop giving it to them! Glad someone other than little nobody me is saying it now.
    2
  102. Holy cow, it's 20 years ago that I didn't watch that first reboot?! The weird thing is a few weeks ago, the original happened to be playing as I was flipping channels. I watched the whole cheesy, not in any way believable thing, and enjoyed it. Was it all just childhood nostalgia? Maybe. But while I'm never claiming the original was brilliant TV, it had something these remakes/reboots don't have - personality & charm.
    2
  103. I don't think it's understandable or appealing to people who haven't read the book.
    2
  104. What light? The franchise has been destroyed. It's DONE.
    2
  105. Too late. Anyone trusting them again and giving them one more dime is a fool.
    2
  106. Exactly this.
    2
  107. And I am (or was) a fan of both!
    2
  108. 3:31 Why is a girl, a child kissing another female on the mouth like that?! I stopped it right there.
    2
  109. Love is love". Right?
    2
  110. The parts of the trailers I watched, along with some pictures and written portions about it were all I could take.
    2
  111. I've done the same. And with TV as well. My last current show is Blue Bloods. (Though I missed last season entirely.) So far, they have not gone woke. If they do, I'm done.
    2
  112. I know!
    2
  113. Thanks for this. I'm 51. For the first time in my life, I don't care about Star Wars. I never thought I'd hear myself say that.
    2
  114. Before all this woke crap started (and assuming it was well written/acted) I would've been fine with that!
    2
  115. Thank you for this. It has me all weepy. For as many times as I've watched the movies, I've never full-on watched him being shot down. Not fully. Always through half closed eyes. I just can't bear it. I loved this character. Sean Bean was magnificent.
    2
  116.  @245-TRIOXIN  "You said you nearly screamed out in shock when you saw Liet Kynes in the first film." I truly did! I had been enjoying it to that point. I was fully immersed in the world and the story. They said the name and for a split second, I tell you, I could not process it. I'm glad I saw it at home. If I had been in the theater, I think I would have lost my mind. "It completely jolts you out of the story because you know its not supposed to be there." Exactly! My brain glitched and I was taken completely out of the story. And, again, I was stunned when I finally watched Drinker's review of Part 1 that NOTHING was said about it. Nothing! "I think people are on a high just because its been so long since we've seen a sci-fi movie that actually features a male protagonist. Lets be honest, that's been in very short supply over the past few years." Which I love and miss! "Its been all about the girl-boss." Which I loathe. Plot twist: I am a woman.
    2
  117.  @245-TRIOXIN  I'm a huge X-Files fan. Scully was fantastic. She wasn't obnoxious like female characters are today. At that time, things were also a bit more realistic. There were times male characters did overpower her. Gillian Anderson is a small woman. It would've looked ridiculous to see her beating up some guy twice her size. (Thought they did that in one ep, in a fake sort of way. It was allowed to look as ridiculous as it is!) It's all so stupid. Men are men. Women are women. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. I remember years ago hearing some preacher talking about marriage. Obviously a different context to what we're talking about here. But he said, "If both of you were the same, one of you would be unnecessary." It's so true. Men and women complement each other. Trying to make one into the other is just stupid.
    2
  118. I honestly wonder if young women who have grown up watching this nonsense put themselves in dangerous situations thinking, "I can handle it." You'd assume they'd know fiction from reality. But do they? Kids are not known for rational thinking. They are easily influenced. I would think a steady diet of "girlbosses kicking butt" would have an impact, even if they don't fully realize it.
    2
  119. Yep. And I've erased most of CS from memory. (But who knows, maybe a 2nd viewing would make me hate it less. I don't know. Compared to the dreck of today, it'll probably seem brilliant! Or at least not hideous.)
    2
  120. That has a great ring to it, LOL!
    2
  121. I saw the first one via Amazon just yesterday. Beautiful, except they did the woke thing by turning Liet Kynes into some black chick. And ruining the character arc by entirely changing it. I was livid. I was going to watch Part 2 but I will wait for streaming, if at all.
    2
  122. I hope so! I'm so tired of it. Doesn't anyone have imagination anymore?
    2
  123.  @Comewithmeifuwant2live  Thank you! It's ALWAYS Christianity. Never Jehovah's Witnesses. Never Hinduism. Never Buddhism. Never even Islam. Always those evil Christians with their "prejudiced" Bibles that frown on cheating and child abandonment and sodomy. I was listening to this review and was surprised to hear him supporting this. I didn't know he felt that way. Live and learn, I guess.
    2
  124. Yep. I knew that long ago. I'd have to think back to see if I can pinpoint the first time I really became aware of it.
    2
  125. (Ha ha, "tweet"! I've got Twitter on the brain!)
    2
  126. This, a thousand times over. That's why I'm not watching any current remakes/reboots/sequels/prequels. I'm avoiding most new things as well. I took a chance on Maverick because I kept hearing positive feedback about it. I didn't have any emotional attachment because even though I'm GenX, I somehow missed the first one. I figured, if it's awful, I can walk out and it won't feel like a gut punch. I ended up loving it and I'm glad I took the risk! But that's been the exception. The only current show I'm watching is Blue Bloods. It remarkably has not gone woke - amazing, since it's a cop show. If it does, I'm out.
    2
  127. Same.
    2
  128. I watched it and loved it, even though I somehow missed the original Top Gun. I think it did a great job catching people up. It was so refreshing to see a movie without THE MESSAGE!
    2
  129. Oh, of course! I bet he'll claim "racism" & "homophobia" pushed him out.
    2
  130. I never watched ST. But I've watched Star Wars since childhood. They destroyed it in front of my eyes. I was a latecomer to DW. They destroyed that too. I won't even speak of Rings of Power. They are destroying EVERYTHING. Everything.
    2
  131. So well said!
    2
  132. I found this review hard to get through. It's hard to take seriously anymore his complaints on "girlbosses" after seeing HIS movie open up with some chick being beaten up.
    2
  133. In my opinion, Jaclyn Smith in her heyday was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
    2
  134. "and let's not forget that hit on southern United States being backwards religious nutters." Eek, really? I haven't seen it. I guess I'll wait for streaming, if even that. Just saw Part 1 the other night and generally liked it, but I could not BELIEVE they changed Liet Kynes to some black chick, plus totally changed his ending. (One of my favorite parts of the book.) And Drinker said NOTHING about that in his review! I was stunned. I do hope he hasn't somehow sold out. Sigh.
    2
  135.  @FreeEnricoPalazzo  I was hoping not. Sigh.
    2
  136. Haven't seen it, but judging from this comments section, it seems it's gotten ALL sides to hate each other. Seems like a W for them!
    2
  137. I will. I have zero desire to watch anything coming out these days.  @strawberryshortcake5505 
    2
  138. Same with me. I don't even get paid until later. But I love Drinker's commentaries. He's brought me to tears more than once. I'm so happy he's getting this opportunity.
    2
  139. I didn't know there was one!
    2
  140.  @fat_2627  I'm almost there. I'm 52, fan since childhood. These are words I never dreamed I'd say.
    2
  141. Exactly this!
    2
  142. I'm old enough to have grown up with the original show. I had zero interest in the previous remake (HOLY COW, THAT WAS 20 YRS AGO?1), let alone this one. I barely heard / knew anything about it! I've watched a few eps of the old show lately and was reliving my childhood, while trying to view it through adult eyes. Sure, it was ridiculous. Even as a kid, I was never fully convinced they were detectives. But who cares? The girls were so beautiful that it was enough to just see them running around pretending to catch criminals. (And I say this as a straighter-than-straight woman.) While they weren't the best actresses on the planet, I enjoyed their friendships with each other & with Bosley. There was a silly charm to it all. Most of all, it was fun! Remember that, Hollywood? FUN?
    2
  143. Oh, wait, there's that pushed in this movie too? I must've missed that in the review.
    2
  144. That's what I'm doing. Starting right now.
    2
  145. HOW I HATED THAT MOVIE! I avoided it for a long time because 1) it didn't seem of interest and 2) the endless hype made me want to run the other way because nothing can live up to that. But after years of hearing about it I finally gave in, just to see what I was missing. I will grant that I'm sure the visuals lost a lot seeing it on a computer screen at home rather than in the theater. But I don't watch movies for the visuals. I watch movies for the story being told. I looked up my comments on it. Here's what I wrote at the time: "This has got to be the most rabidly anti-military, anti-American, anti-business, anti-progress, anti-HUMAN, militant environmentalist, pro-pagan worship piece of leftist propaganda I have EVER seen put to film! Honestly, by the last hour and especially the half hour I kept hitting the 10 second fast forward button and reading the captions, it was that unbearable."
    2
  146. Aw, LOL!
    2
  147. It's the same in every fandom these days. They want to destroy EVERYTHING.
    2
  148. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
    1
  149. Alex Kingston is always amazing!
    1
  150. That's what everybody needs to do with these services and products. But they keep paying for it! They don't care if you love or hatewatch something. As long as you keep funding it, they win!
    1
  151. Wait, there's a book?
    1
  152.  @TheWelshMan666  Oh, so even the cool title wasn't original. Thanks, it sounds like good read!
    1
  153. And now look where we are! @Thomasmemoryscentral 
    1
  154.  @rodriguezelfeliz4623  Oh get lost, filthy mouthed pig.
    1
  155. I've always assumed Cillian Murphy WAS an android.
    1
  156. Right? I'm a woman, and I find this all so stupid. I don't sit down to watch a show/movie and think, "How many women vs. men are there in this? How many of XYZ skin tone/ethnic background vs. whites?"
    1
  157. It's not about financial success! It's about the woke commie revolution that is demolishing the West. They are doing this on purpose and they don't care how much money they lose. Follow James Lindsay's work and you'll understand what you are seeing all around you.
    1
  158. * sees thumbnail * This is a joke right? I don't even think I can watch this video!
    1
  159. Please tell me this is a joke! I've blocked Crystal Skull from memory. If I ever have money again, I will buy the first 3 on DVD. I can't take my childhood being destroyed anymore. I just can't.
    1
  160. Of course.
    1
  161. LOL! Go watch your woke Doctor Impersonator and leave the rest of us alone.
    1
  162. And yet people refuse to stop watching and stop paying for it.
    1
  163. Ugh, do not want! I'm sure they will just end up killing him off.
    1
  164. Same!
    1
  165.  @adamcade604  Love it!
    1
  166. Intentionally so. Western culture has been going through a "woke" / commie revolution. And most people have been asleep.
    1
  167. I think my brain had erased it! Honestly, that horrible moment in TFA stopped my brain. I don't remember anything else about that movie. TLJ looked good in comparison. But I don't remember much about it. I was still in shock over what they did in TFA!
    1
  168. It's not! They are destroying everything on purpose. Wake up!
    1
  169. That'll be for the next regeneration.
    1
  170. But you're still going to pay for it so you're part of the problem along with your run on sentences
    1
  171. WHAT?! What?! She killed Chewie? WHAT?!
    1
  172. Sad, but true.
    1
  173. LOL! Who are you and what have you done with our Drinker?
    1
  174. Well, that was depressing. I don't know if it's this channel or somewhere else, but I remember hearing Whittaker's performance described as somebody watching David Tennant's performance and trying to imitate it... badly. So badly. That's the vibe I got here. Plus, I hate the "main character in mortal peril" plot routine when it comes to scifi / fantasy. There's never any tension because we KNOW they can always be brought back somehow. Doubly so in this show. So why even go there again, especially when it's not even time yet for regeneration? I'm a New Who convert. But maybe I need to just watch Classic Who as a palate cleanser.
    1
  175. Other than vaguely remembering about Brandon Lee, I know zero about the original movie/fandom. But as I am watching this, even I'm wondering... what's with the pink?!
    1
  176. There was a MIB 2 and 3?
    1
  177. How I loathe what they've done to my beautiful show.
    1
  178. LOL! Please. There was plenty of criticism about The Hobbit movies. It was trash.
    1
  179. I never did see that. Did it have a conclusion? Or was it canceled & left things hanging?
    1
  180.  @cleanerben9636  Fair enough. I know it was very popular. I've just been burned by shows being cancelled & leaving you hanging forever. ("The Unit", "V", etc.) Don't want to go through that again.
    1
  181. I don't even know what that means.
    1
  182. 7:09 - When Star Wars died for me. (After being a fan for decades.)
    1
  183. AW, NO! It's really happening?! I'm only 2 minutes in. I don't know if I can take it!
    1
  184. Do you still not get it? They don't care about the audiences. They don't even necessarily care about financial success. Look how many of these things have bombed, but they keep churning them out! They are INTENTIONALLY destroying everything. We are in a cultural revolution and nobody seems to even notice. Wake up! In their view, America is evil. Western Civilization is evil. They WANT to burn it all down to the ground!
    1
  185. Well, wow! Whoda thunk it? I'm an 80s kid and I somehow managed to miss the original. Maybe I'll rent that and then go see this if it's still around in a couple of weeks when I get paid!
    1
  186. Love your channel & your insights!
    1
  187. THEN STOP PAYING FOR IT!
    1
  188. Exactly. Thank you.
    1
  189. I had no idea this was even a thing. LOL! What a joke!
    1
  190. LOL!
    1
  191. Bravo!
    1
  192. It's my goal to learn to say, "con TRO ver sy", and, "re NAI ssance", like Drinker does.
    1
  193. Short Round! I could have gone for that! (I don't want to look up the actor. I don't want to hear that he ended up another tragic child actor. That's always depressing.)
    1
  194. I had not heard of this at all!
    1
  195. Aw, man, how dare you post this when I can't watch it right now because I have to work!
    1
  196. Don't let them completely embitter you. That's exactly what these insufferable "wokes" want to do to people. Go rewatch some of the old stuff. It's still there.
    1
  197. Right?! That's why I came back here.
    1
  198. I didn't plan on watching this. I want nothing to do with RoP. (Though even if I'd wanted to see it, I'm too broke.) But I'm glad I did. Congrats! Will help out when I get paid. Can't afford much, but I love your channel and am excited for this new adventure!
    1
  199. He agreed to do it! It's not like he needed the money or career boost! He's Hollywood royalty and has been for decades. I'm 50+ and have been a SW fan since the first movie. Star Wars was destroyed for me at that scene. I remember sitting in the theater in shock. I had been almost in tears of joy just seeing him again. And then... that happened. And for no purpose. If he had at least gotten a big sendoff, sacrificing himself to save others, that may have been different. (If it had been well written.) But we barely got to see him and this is what we get?! I sat there in shock for the rest of the movie. I don't even remember it. My childhood was destroyed in an instant. Yes, it's primarily the fault of the writers/producers. But, again, he agreed to do it.
    1
  200. Yep! No one forces him to do it. It's not like he needs the money. And his reputation is such that he can still get work if he wants it.
    1
  201. It's intentional. They are destroying the entire culture. We are in a revolution and most people don't even seem to be aware of it.
    1
  202. It's nihilism through desensitization. And it will bleed over into real life. In other words, brainwashing. Don't tell me it's not intentional.
    1
  203. I KNOW, RIGHT?! And I had basically erased that thing from my brain!
    1
  204. All they can do is a cheap imitation. If they wanted to do a fantasy show, why not just create their own? But no. They not only wanted the name/reputation cred of Tolkien, but they intentionally wanted to subvert it and crap on it. It enrages me too. The good thing is that this will fade away and eventually be forgotten. The books will never go away. The original Jackson movies (I didn't care for The Hobbit ones) will never be taken from us. (Though I suggest buying hard copies of it rather than trust they will always be on streaming services.) And perhaps for younger people this will be their entry point. They'll discover the real things and eventually realize how they were lied to by this woke trash.
    1
  205. Bless you, Sir, for enduring this for us!
    1
  206. How does that work in the UK with people being forced to pay for this? Is it just included in taxes? (US person here.)
    1
  207. For real! Sick. And this stuff was still generally a family show.
    1
  208. I see what you did there!
    1
  209. LOL! Quite the run on sentence you have going on there calling everyone racist and yammering on about who knows what. LOL!
    1
  210. "This, despite having a female lead, her team which consists solely of POCs, her black mentor, and virtually every villain being a white male." NONE of which I noticed or cared about when I saw it! As you said, it's all about a good story, well told.
    1
  211.  @TheCriticalDrinker  Excellent!
    1
  212. And people keep on watching it.
    1
  213. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! They intentionally changed Davros because they didn't want to associate wheelchair users with evil?! Who even thinks that way in the first place?! So they changed him to a walking person because... it's okay to associate evil with people who can walk?!
    1
  214. "il still watch the next one though " And that's the whole problem. Don't you understand that they don't care whether people love it or hatewatch it? As long as they get the views and the $, they will continue making trash.
    1
  215. Wow, I had not seen those interviews with her. Makes me despise her run even more! I didn't think that was possible. And, YES! Glad he pointed out (around 6:50) that, "she basically acts like an over-the-top parody of David Tennant." I thought it was just me that picked that up several times while forcing myself to watch some of her scenes.
    1
  216. 1:42 Why is that nasty female pretty much naked?!
    1
  217. I heard about this movie but the topic is too depressing for me.
    1
  218. I've never watched any ST. But this whole rundown reminded me exactly how I felt about the X-Files revival. It was so godawful! Even the actors looked like they were bored to tears.
    1
  219. I am so sick & tired of Hollywood shoving THE MESSAGE down my throat. I may have to start finding movies from other countries, even if I have to read subtitles.
    1
  220.  @paulmansell4706  It's perfect and applicable to so many fandoms!
    1
  221.  @jaksmith6465  Wouldn't that be wonderful? Sigh.
    1
  222. Why are we making movies that glorify the villains?!
    1
  223. That's where I'm finally landing as well. I tried, people! I did. But I just can't anymore.
    1
  224. Wow, I didn't even remember hearing about this.
    1
  225. I'm a woman and I approve this message.
    1
  226. Just watched it again for the zillionth time. It never fails to leave me in tears. I'm afraid we haven't even had our freedoms taken. We just... gave it away.
    1
  227. Don't start slipping, Drinker! I have never in my life gone to see any movie or show wanting to be "represented." Never occurred to me. Why would I want to "see myself"? I see myself in the mirror every day! I want to watch a good movie/show, PERIOD. I don't give a rat's tail what skin tone anyone is, as long as the product is well done, and as long as it makes sense within the story. It would be just as stupid to have an all-white remake of Roots as it would to have an all-black movie about Queen Elizabeth. Why are people acting like there's never been black actors/casts before? There have been popular shows featuring black actors since the 70s! Many of us grew up watching The Jeffersons, What's Happening!!, The Cosby Show in the 80s, etc. I am 50+ and have never lived in a world where I didn't see black actors, musicians and everything else. This current nonsense is a LIE. The only thing it's doing is teaching children to constantly focus on skin tones. It's teaching little girls they are always victims. It's teaching little boys they are evil because of "toxic masculinity." It's all garbage. It must be rejected. It will and is destroying everything.
    1
  228. They are destroying all of culture, intentionally. We are in a revolution. Wake up!
    1
  229. I adore Clarke's books but his characters are always so bland.
    1
  230. They think they have the RIGHT to shove their views down our collective throats. And we are supposed to sit there and take it. They really are that arrogant! I'm not sure if they even know how to be any other way. They live in a bubble where everyone around them thinks the way they do. I doubt they are ever exposed to average, everyday people.
    1
  231. Wow, they actually filmed it already? This is so depressing. I wish I had the money to just buy DVDs of all my favorite classics and close my ears to any news of any further destruction. I am so sick of it all. We need to realize we are in a full blown, woke commie revolution. They will never stop until they have destroyed the West. And as long as people keep paying for this trash, they'll keep churning it out!
    1
  232. FOR REAL! I've seen it twice and still don't fully get it! I need at least a third go around.
    1
  233. That's why I don't watch anything current. My only exception is Blue Bloods, which I'm already invested in because it's been on for years. It hasn't gone woke... yet. Which is quite amazing, seeing that it's 1) a cop show, and 2) filled with main characters who are men!
    1
  234. I still haven't seen this! I started years ago, but I got confused with all the character names and such. I guess I wasn't in the right frame of mind for it.
    1
  235. I was raised on the original trilogy from childhood. It's it in my blood. Star Wars died for me the second I watched THAT BAD THING they did to Han in that movie that shall not be named. I've stopped even keeping up. Ugh, this show sounds even worse than I thought. I am so tired of it all.
    1
  236. Only if you choose to do that to yourself.
    1
  237. Just lost my mother a few weeks ago after a 7 year nightmare of dementia or something of the sort. Like your situation, I don't think they had a clue. Let's just say my trust in the medical profession (industry is a better word) is at an all time low. At least I had my father doing most of the hands on care. He refused to let me help very much until the very end, when it was not physically possible for one person. But I was still here pretty much 24/7. I thought things would eventually start to stabilize and I'd be able to get a full time job again and get out of here. Now he's not taking care of himself and I find myself saying the same things to him that I did to her. Zero cooperation. I realized Friday it's just Season 2 of the same show. He's going to not take care of himself until he drops, end up in the hospital, come home worse, they'll blame it on "dementia" and I'll be left here again to pick up the pieces, alone. I can't do this again for another 7 years or however long God has left for him. I just can't. It enrages me when people refuse to lift a finger to help themselves and don't care how it affects those who love them and are trying desperately to help them.
    1
  238. Exactly right! The only current show I'm still watching is Blue Bloods. It incredibly has not gone woke, though it's had many opportunities, especially since it's a cop show. The minute it does, I'm done. I went to watch Maverick because I heard good things about it. I enjoyed it! (Even though I somehow had missed the original Top Gun, even though I'm GenX.) Other than that, The Force Awakens was the last time I will put myself through this crap. The good thing is that there are plenty of old, great shows/movies to catch up on. People need to be buying physical copies, though. A lot of things will be deemed "problematic" and no longer available. Store up while you still can.
    1
  239. I could barely get through the first trailer when I saw a chick being beaten up in the first scene.
    1
  240. And people still keep paying for them and using them for clicks.
    1
  241. Whatever happened to the profession of screenwriting? I'd give anything for an original story that is well written/acted, is not nihilistic in nature, has something thoughtful to say, and doesn't shove THE MESSAGE down my throat.
    1
  242. Yeah, there's always that.
    1
  243. That's really the only way to look at it!
    1
  244. First time even hearing about it.
    1
  245. As a citizen of IL (and a woman) I approve of this title.
    1
  246. It makes me happy!
    1
  247. People are still giving money to Netflix even after the child p**n that was CUTIES? (Which is still airing as of the typing of this comment. I did check.) I figured after seeing a young girl pull down pants and put her phone down there to take a picture that that would be the END of every decent person giving money to a company showing such filth. I continue to be shocked that I was wrong.
    1
  248. It's like you looked into my mind. I was remembering how hearing news about a new movie or show featuring my favorite characters and/or actors would fill me with excitement. Now it fills me with dread. And when it's a childhood favorite (or just a favorite, in general) my thought process is just how you're describing here - dread, wondering how bad it will be and what theyre going to crap on next.
    1
  249. Yes, thank you! Now if I could just get the DVDs.
    1
  250. I'm not sure how I got to 52 and still haven't seen the original ALIEN.
    1
  251. Except it wasn't, "Why not?" It was intentional, to push THE MESSAGE [The Drinker (™)]
    1
  252. "This is a concerted move to completely trash all levels of Western culture." Exactly this. People need to realize we are in a full blown revolution. If it was just for money, they would've stopped churning them out when they saw how they were financially bombing. They don't care. They're burning everything to the ground. That's why we see THE MESSAGE being shoved at us from every corner of the culture. It's not just Hollywood. It's sports, advertisements, "news", education, the legal system, even the medical establishment. When are people going to wake up?
    1
  253. Trump didn't mock anyone with a disability. It's tiresome to see even CD repeating the same lie.
    1
  254. I've never seen the original ST. So while I did watch this short, I had no idea what it meant. I was glad to see this review. Maybe I will one day watch the series and use this as my finale. I am happy for the fans!
    1
  255. I love all of this and I hope you're right! My concern is that unless parents and eventually grandparents show kids the better originals, these inferior things will be all they know. It will be their childhood. They won't know anything else, until and unless they get older and start finding it on their own. And that's assuming the originals will still be around. More and more, it's important to have hard copies. I wouldn't put it past these people to either edit old stuff or make it unavailable. They can "cancel" you, where you don't have access, like they do with social media. Or they can get rid of the originals on your streaming service/channel and you can't view it anymore. We're in a full revolution. These people are not playing around. We need to understand that.
    1
  256. I wouldn't mind random dancing in movies! I wish real life was like that!
    1
  257. For idiots who keep paying for it.
    1
  258. For real!
    1
  259. I wish you'd "fix" The X-Files so called revival. Yegads, that was awful.
    1
  260. Right? I suppose by TV audience standards that's a small number. But in terms of actual human beings, that's a huge number.
    1
  261. Disney is still pushing trans and the rest of THE MESSAGE... but people are still paying for it?
    1
  262. I still need to see it! I've heard good things about it.
    1
  263. Destroying the past is the whole purpose.
    1
  264. HA! First time here. You're right!
    1
  265. Yes, He will!
    1
  266. This was wonderful!
    1
  267. Skin tone is irrelevant. Get lost, racist.
    1
  268. I know, right? But people will still go see it.
    1
  269. Still paying for Netflix? You know, that streaming service that, at the writing of this comment, is STILL showing the c h i l d p * r n that is, "Cuties"? (Yes, I did check.) That filth showed a pre-teen girl pulling down pants / underwear to put her phone down there to take a photo. Can you tell me why you and everyone else are still paying for that filth?
    1
  270. Glad I hadn't even heard of it. I thought the evil twin thing was only for soap operas!
    1
  271. Intentionally so. These woke commies are destroying EVERYTHING.
    1
  272. Same. I was a New Who convert and I loved it. Now I am watching Classic Who on Britbox and ignoring everything after Capadli. It's sad.
    1
  273. Same. And I'm a woman!
    1
  274. Wow, I can't believe it's that long ago already! Yegads, I loathed this movie. The only reason I finally gave in and rented it is because of ENDLESS HYPE. I felt like I was missing out on the greatest movie going experience of all time. And then I heard "unobtainium" and I swear I thought it was a joke. There is no way professional writers in a mainstream Hollywood movie would use such a silly term. But they did. It was all downhill from there.
    1
  275. ACK! Is that how the real story is? I don't think I ever read it.
    1
  276. Sigh.

  277. I do agree that some "self expression" is not worth being called art. I don't think that's what he was getting at here.
    1
  278. This had me laughing so hard! (Even though my heart is broken that one of my favorite shows has become this mess.) I haven't had the heart to watch this new Doctor. The reviews have been bad enough. Wow.
    1
  279. Exactly.
    1
  280. Netflix? You mean that service that is STILL showing that c h i l d p * r n called, "Cuties"? (I just checked.) It's almost like no one cares. Imagine that.
    1
  281. So we keep financially supporting services that promote things as egregious as c h i l d p * r n, just because something else on that same service might be "a hit"? We financially support something as extreme as seeing a young girl, under teen age, pulling down her pants/underwear & putting a phone down there to take a photo? Because THAT is the scene I saw. Just because no skin was actually seen does not make it any better. Everyone involved with that should've been arrested, starting with the parents of that young girl who performed that scene. If something that gross doesn't make customers draw a line - a REAL one, meaning removing financial support - then I guess I don't know what ever will.  @Mywayorhighway3 
    1
  282. Not watching this yet because I still haven't seen this movie. Still want to! Not sure if it would make sense to me, though. I think I watched the first XMen & that's all.
    1
  283. That's what they want most - destruction and demoralization of fans.
    1
  284. They're destroying everything ON PURPOSE.
    1
  285. Never heard of him. What's the deal about him?
    1
  286.  @Grabthar191  Interesting, thanks.
    1
  287. This goes way beyond entertainment. We are in a neo-Marxist revolution, where everything "old" is being destroyed and where everyone is being pitted against each other by "race", gender, etc., instead of by classes. They WANT people hating each other. They WANT chaos and violence in the streets. They WANT energy and food shortages. When people get miserable enough, they'll beg for anyone to take charge. And they will. WAKE UP. This is not "conspiracy theories." It's all happening right in front of us!
    1
  288. Yegads, they will probably remake THAT, next!
    1
  289. So... another story about how evil whites/Americans are? Don't get me wrong, I know Bad Things have been done. But to have this put out now, in today's insufferable woke culture makes it a guarantee that I will have zero interest in supporting it.
    1
  290. Thanks!
    1
  291. HA! Right?
    1
  292. Dear Disney/SW: I want my childhood back.
    1
  293. Yes. But their skin tone was not the issue. The death cult they follow was the issue.
    1
  294. We are in a revolution. We have to wake up and understand that. That's why it's not just this franchise. It's Star Wars. It's Doctor Who. It's the superhero movies. It's The Little Mermaid. On and on. Do you not see? They are destroying everything. That's why everything has to have at least some elements of THE MESSAGE: Men = evil. Woman power! (Even if it's done in a ridiculous way.) W people = evil. Every sexuality other than straight. America = bad. Western civ = bad. On and on and on.
    1
  295. SIGNS is fantastic!
    1
  296. The one bit of hope I have left is that maybe these awful movies will push some younger fans toward watching the original trilogy for the first time?
    1
  297. Ha ha! It's not so far off an idea!
    1
  298. Yep.
    1
  299. Hahahaha! I got through 34 seconds. What is that hideous creature?!
    1
  300. And does anyone believe it's really ending? Come on. You know they're going to try churning out even more trash. Good thing I won't be paying them for it.
    1
  301. I appreciated that!
    1
  302. Exactly this! People complain, but they keep paying for it.
    1
  303. For real? In this case, maybe it'll be an improvement. LOL!
    1
  304. Damaging the IP is the whole point. We're in a revolution. They want to destroy EVERYTHING.
    1
  305.  @Alexander-the-Mediocre  I'm starting to get this vibe too. Disappointing for sure.
    1
  306. Your ending made me miss SW again.
    1
  307. Exactly! And why do actors agree to it?!
    1
  308. Exactly this.
    1
  309. Am I the only woman on the planet who had ZERO interest in that Barbie movie? I don't even think I played much with Barbies as a child!
    1
  310. This tweet needs to be framed.
    1
  311. I wish you would fix The X-Files, starting from the last ep of S7 through the 2 godawful movies and the even worse reboot(s)!
    1
  312. This made me cry.
    1
  313. 3 year olds can make up some fun stories! Even if they're wild, there's some sort of internal logic, at least for a child's mind. If you try to see it from their point of view, you can see how it sorta makes sense, LOL! That's more than I can say for Hollywood these days.
    1
  314. STOP GIVING THEM THE PUBLICITY!
    1
  315.  @fenrifegads5571  I am American, so I really didn't even know about it until the reboot/revival. I loved it! Finally caught up watching the Classic Era. But, yep, it's totally British. And that's okay!
    1
  316. I hung on for Capaldi. I liked him, but I swear, I could not follow the storylines for anything. I found myself fast forwarding through eps sometimes. I cannot bear this Doctor Impersonator woman. I just can't. It's like all she ever did was watch David Tennant and tries to imitate his performances, but badly.
    1
  317. Wow, I am so glad I discovered your channel in time to catch this review! I'd vaguely heard the title, but nothing else. But a movie with no political agenda & no feminist whining? I'm in! And I know & care nothing about cars. See, Hollywood? It's not so hard. Just tell a good tale - whether made up or historical - that's all!
    1
  318. "It also mocks christianity quite a bit." In what way?
    1
  319. Why would they cancel it when people are still 1) watching it, 2) paying for it, 3) using it for clicks?
    1
  320. I wouldn't be surprised. Even with these projects tanking at the box office, they don't seem to get it. I used to think Hollywood only cared about $$. I don't think that's true. They care about pushing their views. That seems to be what they are demonstrating. So many of these "woke" reboots/remakes are failing financially, but they keep making them!
    1
  321. Complain and complain and complain... but they keep watching/paying for it.
    1
  322. And people keep watching!
    1
  323. I've never watched even one of these movies. But I am sick of this demasculinization in every freaking fandom. I am so sick of these feminists. (And I'm a woman!)
    1
  324. We already knew it would be something wokish. And yet people keep paying for it.
    1
  325. I don't follow superhero movies, so I didn't know anything about this one. But can't they now turn around and say they pulled the plug because they knew audiences wouldn't go see it because they know how racist/sexist they are? But if people really are sick of this, that's encouraging! Maybe they'll stop with THE MESSAGE and get back to making non-woke/commie movies again. Hey, a girl can hope.
    1
  326. Yep!
    1
  327. That's exactly what they want - to destroy our childhood and demoralize us. Don't let them do it. Buy used copies of the original trilogy and watch them forever. Erase this current filth from your head. And don't give them another dime.
    1
  328. Of course it's intentional. That's why it only ever goes in one direction. I have no problem saying they are racists. I've been saying it from the start. They can call me whatever names they want. According to their own rules, I CAN'T be a racist or a sexist because I'm 1) Puerto Rican and 2) a woman. LOL! I can't stand these woke racist commies.
    1
  329. That's what they're counting on.
    1
  330. Because we are in a woke commie revolution. They are destroying EVERYTHING.
    1
  331. 2 minutes in, and I was in tears. I can't finish watching this right now. These filthy woke commies are destroying EVERYTHING before my eyes. Everything. And most idiots in this country don't even realize it, much less care.
    1
  332. "panderverse" - What a perfect term!
    1
  333. Same.
    1
  334. Well, wow! I had not even heard of this movie until I think yesterday.
    1
  335. Aw, come on! Liet Kynes is a GUY! Not one word of him being changed to a black chick? Or the change made to his story? That was one of my favorite parts of the book and they ruined it!
    1
  336. The destruction is done. She achieved her goals. As a GenX Star Wars fan since childhood, it makes me so angry. Especially since I don't know where to find the DVDs of the ORIGINAL trilogy.
    1
  337. Your story summed up my feelings so well. The details of experience are entirely different. But the feeling of betrayal is exactly the same. I'm 51 and have been a fan from childhood. There's a SW poster right to my left as I write this. I never dreamed I'd get to the point where I could say I just don't CARE anymore. But that's where they have me. Congrats, Disney!
    1
  338. This helped me know which movies/shows to avoid. Thanks for your service to peoplekind.
    1
  339. What on earth are you talking about? I didn't hear anything about autism in this review. LOL!
    1
  340. I keep saying the same thing but no one listens. Look at the uproar over the child p*** that was "Cuties." And as of a couple of days ago when I checked because I was in a similar discussion, that filth is still playing. But people are STILL paying for Netflix!
    1
  341. @AnoneemusNoename Get lost with this filth.
    1
  342. And yet you keep on giving it attention, which is exactly what they want. I didn't even know there was a Part 1 of this movie, much less a Part 2. Nor would I ever give Netflix another dime after the child p*rn that is "Cuties." That filth had a scene of a preteen girl pulling down pants/underwear and putting her phone down there to take a photo. No skin was actually shown, but it's perfectly clear what was going on. It was the sickest thing I've ever seen. What kind of parent allows their child to be in something like that?! As of a couple of weeks ago, this filth was still airing. And people keep paying for it. We complain and complain, but we keep giving them the two things they want most: attention/publicity and money.
    1
  343. Right? Almost makes me want to sit through that dreck a second time... almost.
    1
  344. For real.
    1
  345. That's exactly the attitude. It's disgusting. Hopefully, fans won't pay them a dime anymore. Maybe they will finally get the point. Not that they'd care.
    1
  346. I'm out of the loop these days on actors. What's the story with that?
    1
  347. I've only been here a short time, but already you are my most favorite drunken grump! Thanks for taking one for the team & going to see this. You are doing a service to peoplekind!
    1
  348. YES! Perfect!
    1
  349. I've never watched one single episode of ST. But I loved this!
    1
  350. Hahahahaha!
    1
  351. I mean, you are free to do whatever you like. But, yeah, it's bad.
    1
  352. I can't believe you made me watch this episode so I could understand what you were talking about here. CRUEL!
    1
  353. Wow, a good movie in 2022?! I didn't think that was possible! I haven't been to the movies (or seen anything good) in years. Maybe I'll go see it!
    1
  354. Dear Hollywood: Please keep making dumb/bad movies so Drinker can amuse us. Thanks!
    1
  355. The fact that people like you continue to pay them is why they keep churning out this dreck. How many times do they have to spit in your face before you stop paying them to do so?
    1
  356. I miss seeing MEN onscreen in movies.
    1
  357.  Emiscary1  So that when shows/movies fail, they can blame it on, "IT'S ONLY BECAUSE YOU HATE WOMEN!"
    1
  358. Same with TV shows. I used to think 24 was different. Then they did it there! I couldn't believe it. It was so awful and stupidly done. Ugh.
    1
  359. I'm an 80s kid but somehow missed seeing the original. And while I do like my steaks well done, I LOVED this movie! I admit my expectations were low: Don't insult me and spit in my face as a fan. Spare me THE MESSAGE. But it did so much more than that! I didn't even know the events of the first movie until this review. Thanks for spoiling an almost 40 year old movie, Drinker. (Just teasing!) I thought they did a great job of catching up with the history for new fans, without wallowing in it. I'm not familiar with that actor was that played Rooster, but he freaked me out with how much he looked/acted like Anthony Edwards. I had heard about Val Kilmer's real life issues. It was sad to see him that way. But I thought it was well done. I have not been to a movie in more than 2 years. But I don't think that alone made me love this so much. I have the attention span of a toddler these days, but this kept me engaged all the way through. I cared about all the characters. And while, yeah, some parts stretched believability a bit far, I didn't care. I was actually tearing up in parts. This movie reminded me why I love movies. I haven't had that in so long. I didn't want to leave until I sat through all of the credits. Congratulations on your upcoming book as well! I will be getting it when I have the cash. I'm broke these days and this movie was my belated birthday gift from a friend.

  360. He's always seemed like a grumpy old man, even when he was young. He seemed to hate his fame. (Though not the piles of $$$ it has brought him.) I can't help but take that personally as a fan. If not for fans paying to see their work, none of these celebrities would be famous. That's why I stopped watching any interviews with him, long ago. And I say this as someone who knows that realistically, fame is not all its cracked up to be. Imagine never being able to go anywhere, ever, without a crowd of people descending on you? Maybe you have a headache. Maybe you had a bad day. Maybe you're having family problems. They don't care. They don't care about you as a human being. They're just using you for selfies and social media clout. Imagine everybody picking apart everything you say and do, 24/7. Yes, some seek that out and like it. But not all of them do. That's why even if I saw my favorite celebrities out and about, I would leave them alone. If it was a public event where they're working, that's different. But if they're just trying to get a cup of coffee or take a walk, leave them alone! That goes double if they are with their kids.
    1
  361. CA and TX teaming up - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, Drinker, you scamp, you didn't tell us it would be a comedy!
    1
  362. Stop giving this trash attention. That's what they WANT.
    1
  363. What fun would that be? The point is to destroy the original. Or try to, anyway.
    1
  364. Yay, a happier, "Go away now." I'm glad you had a movie you enjoyed!
    1
  365. THAT IS COLIN FARRELL?!
    1
  366. I love Wallace & Gromit! I am watching Shaun the Sheep before bed these days, LOL! It's delightful.
    1
  367. Ugh. Thanks for going through this for us.
    1
  368. Oh, how I MISS heroic, masculine characters in movies/TV! Spoilers: I'm a woman.
    1
  369. They don't care about money. They have plenty. The point is destroying men.
    1
  370. Because we are in woke commie revolution.
    1
  371. Netflix? People are still paying for Netflix? Even after the ch*ld p * r n , "Cuties"? How sick.
    1
  372. I wanted to see this. But I'm sure it's depressing, and I can't handle that right now.
    1
  373. Because he's quoting one of The Drinker's commonly used phrases.  @lb2kxx 
    1
  374. My real question is how does Kristen Stewart have a Hollywood career at all? Every time I see her she has that same annoyed / blank expression on her face. And, at least by Hollywood standards, she's not particularly standout in the looks department. I can't believe she's still getting roles!
    1
  375. ​ @laurencefraser  Oh, I remember that sort of thing as well. He's always seemed so condescending and miserable. Gee, Harry, sorry the SW and Indy movies were apparently beneath you. But they made you famous, they were part of the childhoods of a generation, and they made you very rich. Even if you hate them now, at least have the decency to have some level of gratitude for where they got you in life. This attitude is one of the reasons I no longer look up interviews/info about any actors. So many of them are insufferable. And, again, I understand and can appreciate some dramatic deaths in movies! But there was no purpose for this. There was no story to it. He had barely shown up again! There was no buildup to it. There was no last, great, heroic act. If we had gone through the movie and he'd had some big last scene where he sacrificed himself to save the world or someone else, that would have been different! In fact, it would've brought a character full circle because he'd started off being the independent rogue who didn't care about anything or anyone but himself. (Though a lot of that character growth had already been established in the original films.) But making him into a deadbeat dad sort of character and then eliminating so quickly in the movie? That's not the character we came to know and love. It was spitting in the faces of the fans. That's all it was. I will never forget it. And not in the positive sense.
    1
  376.  @NicolasAlexanderOtto  I wanted to see it, just to form my own opinion and not just go by everyone else's. But... I just didn't have the heart. Like many people, this story was my childhood. Even the second set of movies didn't do this to us.
    1
  377. I've never watched any Star Trek and I still love watching his reviews.
    1
  378. I hate that I missed that in theaters!
    1
  379. I decided to look it up. Not even 3 minutes in and already it starts. Why did they have to make a point of saying this old couple have been together 46 years but, "We never needed to be married?" Wow, this really was bad. The mother/daughter showdown was so ridiculous. with this spoiled brat willing to let everyone die JUST so she could get back at Mummy. Good grief, that thumb sucking thing was the stupidest thing! Endless lecturing about "climate change". Ugh! This whole thing even looked like a badly done fan film.
    1
  380. I HATE THIS DAY.
    1
  381. Uh, oh. What did they do? I'm becoming more & more thankful I didn't shell out the ridiculous cost of movies these days.
    1
  382. So where can we see it? I'm not finding any information.
    1
  383. Just regrouping/looking for a way to rebrand.
    1
  384. Did Finn have ANYTHING to do in this movie? Honestly, when this new set of movies began, I thought he was going to be a main character. Instead, it's been The Rey Show from beginning to end. That last bit of Rey Skywalker makes me rage. That's what this was all about, wasn't it? Destroy everything that came before and make some chick the new hero, JUST because she's a woman.
    1
  385. Didn't Drinker's movie have girlboss?
    1
  386. YES! I hate being broke because that's exactly what I would be doing! In the past few years I've bought new copies of Gone With the Wind, both the movie and book. I bought a faux leather copy of 1984. I bought a nice hardcover copy of Brave New World. (Which I haven't yet read.) But I can only get stuff here and there, when I find it cheap on ebay or wherever.
    1
  387. THEN STOP WATCHING IT and giving it attention and money! I've lost track of how many channels are yammering about it! I will not watch any of those videos, including this one. Do you not understand that's what they WANT?!
    1
  388. Darn, the ending of this review made me all weepy.
    1
  389. Everybody keep mentioning Looper and I don't even remember that title. I'm going to look it up.
    1
  390. Everyone to KK: Go away. NOW!!!
    1
  391. I forget the actress's name that plays Kaylee. But even not knowing the character, she's always seemed adorable!
    1
  392. That is exactly what they are doing!
    1
  393. Then stop talking about it and giving it attention. If people would stop paying for this trash and stop using it for clicks, mayne it would stop.
    1
  394. Thank you! People keep saying, "Why didn't they see that this wasn't working?" I keep trying to explain, but it DID work! Destruction and demoralization was the POINT!
    1
  395. They've made Will into a homosexual?!
    1
  396.  @rasul01  You pervert. They were CHILDREN in Season 1.
    1
  397. Good thing I'd never even heard of it.
    1
  398. I've honestly never cared much about (or even noticed) special effects. As you say, the story is what's important. I've been watching Classic Doctor Who. The effects are laugh-out-loud bad sometimes. People in ridiculous monster costumes that probably wouldn't even scare a 5 year old. Props that look like they were made by a kid for a school project. Fight scenes where you can see there's not even physical contact and the person falls down. But I don't care. And many fans don't care. Not all the eps are at the same level. Some are just bad. But generally speaking, the stories are fun and the characters are enjoyable. The other stuff should be secondary.
    1
  399. 8:55 "And why? Because the people in charge of it didn't know what the f*** they were doing." Wrong! They know exactly what they're doing. They are intentionally destroying our country and culture. Pop culture is one of the easiest to do.
    1
  400. It's absolutely intentional. But most people are too clueless to see it.
    1
  401. What the heck was that creepy thing on her shoulder?!
    1
  402. Never head of it at all.
    1
  403. Oh, Jesus is indeed coming.
    1
  404. Get lost, racist.
    1
  405. That is how I've felt for a while now. The sad thing is that with this final (yeah, right) movie... it barely hurts anymore. That makes me saddest of all.
    1
  406. I'm hoping for that!
    1
  407. Insult and destruction is the point. But all the review channels and fans keep giving them exactly what they want: free publicity.
