  1. "Professional critics hated it" Which we all know is entirely because of those critics politics, nothing to do with the film itself.

  2. Sometimes old and corrupt things need to die to make way for new and healthy things. Disney is very, very corrupted at this point. It's drifted a million miles from charming films that delighted the child in every age group that the world fell in love with back in the 20th century.

  3. Not enough chicks. Not lame enough. Not gay enough. I can't possibly watch.

  4. Ever since this came out - I've been thinking "I can't wait for Critical Drinker's take on this".

  5. "Be careful what you wish for - you might just get it"

  6. Those who can't create anything new - destroy things other people made to make themselves feel they're important.

  7. Tolkien understood that a powerful feminine energy doesn't manifest the same way as a powerful male energy - and that that's OK, and you don't need to fight it.

  8. Yup - the week that reminded us that feminism has proved vastly more destructive than nuclear weapons.

  9. I can't stop the deliberate destruction of European culture by the cultural Marxists, but I can turn my back. And that's what I've done.

  10. The fact that you didn't understand what was said - is not a reflection of the literacy of the person speaking.

  11. The cast Aladdin was middle eastern. The cast of Mulan was Chinese. The cast of Black Panther was African Why shouldn't the cast of Thor or the Little Mermaid be European?

  12. Old Trek was made by the "greatest generation", to inspire and uplift people who had been through and seen the very worst humanity was capable of, with a vision of how things could be better. New Trek was made by millennials, to tell people that they should succumb to their own worst instinct, be slaves to an ideology of pettiness and spite, and assume that everyone is just as awful as the people who made the show.

  13. As soon as I saw "World Economic Forum" in the background, I just thought, "Oh here we go. . . . . ."

  14. Is that like a personal attack or something?

  15. "I dunno when it started" With feminism - so at least 60 years now.

  16. Exactly - it's a great idea. If you ever saw "Apocalypto" the idea of doing something in that kind of style featuring some Indian hunters Vs a Predator sounds really awesome. But of course like every other great movie concept now, it gets instantly ruined by wokeness.

  17. They need to just leave Ghostbusters alone - it was a product of a particular moment in time and space, and it just isn't going to fit into the demands of a never-ending franchise with heaping dollops of modern Hollywood's hang-ups and assumptions.

  18. I cant help noticing that the decline in quality seems to have coincided with an increasing predominance of female writers and directors.

  19. 8:23 - I would genuinely love to know what these people think romance is supposed to look like They don't. None of them has ever loved anyone or anything but themselves, and despise anyone who has.

  20. I don't think I've heard Drinker so happy - and that's really rather splendid. If the goal is to stop Russia getting nuclear weapons, they are about 70 years too late however.

  21. My problem with it was I just didn't feel any of the guests had done anything bad enough to deserve death (except possibly the guy who knew they were all going to die and brought a date with him anyway). And so the reaction of Slowik to not being satisfied with his life - just felt psychotic and self-indulgent. I didn't even find Margot/Erica all that sympathetic: she makes no effort at all to save anyone else or to try to talk Slowik out of his mass murder/suicide plan. At the same time, I'm asked to feel sorry for this celebrity chef who keeps his subordinates in near slave-like conditions for his restaurant's success, and then kills a load of them and his guests because HE is having an identity crisis. Interesting film, a lot to recommend it: but also a bit morally all over the place.

  22.  @kcbondurant7959 Actually she said Pakistani men. So maybe listen to the interview before giving lectures about it kid. There's only one religion that behaves this way - how ever much denial the adherents of that religion indulge in.

  23. The utterly hysterical rage of the liberal media towards this film: is all the proof I need that it's hit its mark.

  24.  @joshuawood1436  Still waiting for a franchise that made more money. . . . . .

  25.  @joshuawood1436  The films issued under a common franchise name constitute a franchise: that's what the word means. And the MCU is a franchise you absolute muppet: and it's the most profitable movie franchise of all time. Come back in a few years when you've grown up a bit and learned what some words mean. OK kid?

  26.  @joshuawood1436  No kid - you didn't. Try looking up some numbers and get back to me. OK?
    2
  27.  @joshuawood1436  No kid - I'm trying to get you to understand that money is the key metric in Hollywood, hence why I said "biggest phenomenon". Twenty seconds of research would have confirmed this, and saved you the humiliation of spending two days defending a really silly comment you made to try to sound smarter than you are. "the MCU is a "studio"" No kid. That's "Marvel Entertainment". "Iron Man was a stand alone franchise" No kid. He's a character in a franchise. That's why he's in films that are not called "Ironman". This is Are you done now kid? It's just I don't really have time to fill in all the years of school you missed.

  28.  @jasontodd6604  I think we're probably wasting our time with this guy - multiple people have explained it to him and he's not listening. He's one of those very weak people who will keep digging himself in deeper for days on end rather than just admit he got something wrong like a grown up.

  29. ​ @SonGoku-tp8gb  I don't really have the patience to waste time on someone who doesn't understand Hollywood is a business. I didn't know there were so many people out there who were so spectacularly unworldly.

  30. As soon as they involved Phoebe Waller-Bridge - it was doomed. Her whole shtick is humiliating and deconstructing male heroes to make a Mary Sue sidekick look better.

  31. "The orcs were the good guys really all along"

  32. I think we can all agree it was worth turning a blind eye to Weinstein for decades to get this.

  33. It felt like he was addressing the whole of modern western culture - and I wholeheartedly concur. Just - GO AWAY!

  34. There's a hundred things in the Indiana Jones films that are never going to be allowed in modern Hollywood - and any classic film that gets re-booted in the current Hollywood milieu is near certain to be a steaming pile of donkey dung. Better not to sully your memories.

  35. As someone who knows a little about firearms - "Porcelain gun invisible to X-rays" always makes me chuckle.

  36. I honestly don't care about some dude cosplaying as Rocky. Those movies only worked because of the heart and sincerity Stallone put into the main character.

  37. 'We Didn't Know How Good We Had It" - sums up literally everything from the 90s.

  38.  @willmungas8964  I don't know what your fathers experiences or reasons for saying that were. I am sceptical firstly because of the general background in western society and government in general of promoting for traits over ability, the trend across military forces to sacrifice standards to the political imperative to promote women, and also because of the inability of women to compete successfully with men in comparable activities like elite-sport and race-car driving. But then, I'm not a pilot. So I could be wrong.

  39. The allegiance of global corporations is to the global ruling elites, and the religion of the ruling elites is wokeness. One of the tenets of wokeness is that ordinary people (especially the white ones) are a mindless horde of vicious, intolerant bigots who need to be beaten down at every opportunity: and so these corporations display their obedience to the ruling elites by parroting their religion, and by directing as much hostility as possible against ordinary people. They know exactly what they're doing.

  40. Lol - yes that is literally what these writers think would have been the better and more uplifting ending.
    2
  41. Yeah - Drinker really had it spot on when he talked about how spiteful all these remakes feel. They actively take pleasure in knowing they're shitting on something you used to love.

  42. The golden rule with woke is - "they want to destroy it just because you love it".
    2
  43. Agreed. "Assassin FM" was perfect for the universe - kinda silly, but also perfectly in keeping with the tone and feel of the film.
    2
  44. Well - for the last two years they've been told that looting and burning and beating people in the street is to be admired as "mostly peaceful protest". If that's not a perfect example of "adults behaving like children" I don't know what is.

  45. Why is it no matter how much money they spend on modern fantasy franchises - they all look like cheap Saturday morning dramas from the 1990s?

  46.  @detrimen  "That’s men for you" Ladies and gentlemen - exhibit A for the prosecution. . . . . . .

  47. I'm honestly surprised the Superhero genre has dominated for as long as it has - spandex, CGI and bloodless punch-ups were getting old for me a decade ago.

  48. There's a reason that for nearly all of history, actors were put in the same bracket as beggars and prostitutes.

  49. This is not incompetence - this is deliberate demoralization.

  50. 3:58 - They even ripped off the Olympic motto: "Faster. Higher. Stronger."
