  1. Rocky II is okay but Die Hard 2 was crap. The scene in Die Hard 2 that had me scratching my head the most was when Bruce Willis uses the ejection seat to escape from the cargo plane just before it explodes. Sorry Bruce, cargo planes don't have ejector seats. And what happened to the roof of the flight deck? Did the seat just blast through it? I'll be honest I thought Rocky III and Die Hard 3 were both better than the sequels. Yeah, Rocky II had more of the feel of the original and the overall acting is a bit better but when Rocky finishes off Mr. T that should have been the end of the Rocky franchise. If you disagree grant me this, at least it's not Rocky V. I saw 2010 in the theater, it was okay as far as sequels go. I would have put Terminator 2 on the list. Yeah, it's a bit hokey, but aren't all sequels not named Godfather II? Like Rocky III, that should have been where the Terminator was terminated. Terminator 3 had a chance to be something but the casting for that one was just beyond horrible. That nerdy loser kid they picked to play the future savior of the human race, where did they find him? And his girlfriend was almost as unbelievable in her role as future heroine. I'll give Kevin Costner credit, he was offered big money for Bull Durham and Field of Dreams sequels and he turned them down. Good for him. Most things are best left alone. Porky's Two: The Next Day ring a bell? For the most part, sequels suck.

  2. If that's all it takes to keep people away from a movie sympathetic to one the classic villains of all time...cool. I was never going to see it but if keeps some young girl home, that's freaking awesome. We glorify evil enough in these wicked times.

  4. I saw the runtime on the theater homepage and that was enough for me to say thanks but no thanks. I like Martin Scorsese, but this isn't the first time he's gone too long with a movie. Casino ran about an hour longer than it should have. Scorsese spent way too much time developing the Robert De Niro Sharon Stone subplot in that one. No way I'm sitting in a movie theater for three and a half hours. The last time I did that was for Return of the King. That was worth it. This one, maybe I'll catch it when it streams and watch it over two nights.

  5. The only part of the Matrix series beyond the first movie that was even worth the trip was when Neo has that conversation with the Matrix version of Oz at the end of the second movie. They lost me when a new Oracle showed up and they gave some half-ass reason for it. It was kind of like when I was a kid and Darren 2 showed up on Bewitched. The bit where that French chick puts her sexual powers in Trinity's face and kisses Neo is okay but if we're being honest it was one of the weaker attempts at the gratuitous sex shot movies of that period were required to have. The third movie lost me after about five minutes. I left in on in the background because...well I don't really know why. The original Matrix was a cool film and I liked that it ended with no real resolution. But I also figured they did that to set up the sequel and since 97% of sequels suck I also figured that one would as well and it largely didn't disappoint where sucking was concerned. As for Matrix Four...that's going to be a hard no. Maybe if they brought in Al Pacino and connected it somehow to the Devil's Advocate. Hey, why not? That movie never got a sequel.

  6. I saw a trailer for this and you hit on it Drinker. I just couldn't see Anaya Taylor Joy in an adventure shoot-em-up film. I like her as well. It's too bad she seems get shitty scripts tossed her way, and even the decent ones seem to put a governor on her potential. Or who knows, maybe she does that. Anyway, I won't be watching this, was just curious and to tell the truth with the kind of day I'm having I needed a shot of whatever it is the Drinker was serving up today. Sometimes ya just need that guy to tell you to go away now.

  7. I was a kid when the original with Chucky Heston came out and it was a bit of a cultural phenomena. There were Plane of the Apes trading cards among other stuff. But by the time it got the third movie, where Zera and her hubby show up in the spacecraft Chucky flew off in the whole thing had lost its flair. Some things should just be left alone. I found the the first remake or whatever it was to be somewhat interesting but as the old saying goes, you can't go home again. Hey Hollywood, come up with some F-n new ideas and let us have our memories. You guys suck, I get that, but stop ruining what was once cool.

  8. In a totally unrelated story, actor Siaka Massaquoi who was in the film and also happens to write for the Babylon Bee, was arrested on his way home from the movie's premier for being in the capital on January 6th, 2021. Why'd it take so long to arrest him and what exactly did he do that day? Well, no one is in a hurry to answer those questions since, as I said, it is TOTALLY unrelated to his appearance in this film. Having fun in obama's Amerika gang? Yes we did indeed, and everyone knows, obama has no sense of humor, at least not when it is directed at him and his friends. Something to think about kiddies. Sleep well.

  9. I dunno, maybe I'm in the minority but I found this movie to be pretentious at times and obtuse when it wasn't being pretentious. The plot was flat, the ending was ridiculous, and outside of Anaya Taylor Joy's performance I thought the rest of the cast was just as stiff and dull as the movie. She really does deserve better scripts than this and that Northmen movie or whatever that bore-fest was called. I thought the Menu, to be fair, sucked. But that's me. Maybe I'm just one of those dimwitted unwashed masses types who just doesn't get it. I'm also one of those who thought Christopher Nolan did a half-ass job with Dunkirk because he was more interested in making a Christopher Nolan movie than telling a story. That movie actually came to mind as I watched this one. But like I say, I imagine I'm in the minority.

  10. There have been other movies along this line like Day of the Jackal and Collateral, two movies I like. Sometimes, like Michael tells Sonny, it's not personal, it's business.

  11. Disney's ideas on diversity are a lot like Henry Ford, who told customers they could get the Model-T in any color, so long as it was black. I don't know anything about this spat between Gina and disney but I hope she wins because...well, it's disney. As for Musk buying disney I'm not sure Satan will allow that hostile takeover to occur. Granted, Musk isn't the most Godly man but he's not a Satanist and disney is carrying out a very important demonic mission for the father of all that is evil right now. It's one thing to take on a worm like bob iger, another to take on a Principality. I don't see it happening but ya never know. God has used flawed men time and time again to thwart the plans of the enemy.

  12. This one is on my gotta watch list. Beyond being a good movie, it looks like it is triggering the right people. I'll support anything the Disney crowd is against these days, if for no other reason than to get more good material out there. Wouldn't it be poetic justice if it turns out making more money than that indiana jones hot mess? First Bud Light and Target feel actual pain now this. The tide just might be turning.

  13. That was Kostner's epic period with Water World, Dances with Wolves, and The Postman. I'm one of the two dozen or so people who had no time for the first two but enjoyed The Postman. Hard not to like a movie where Tom Petty plays Tom Petty. Yeah, it's kinda light on explaining how the apocalypse went down, but it's a fun watch. A for Water World, it was so forgettable I don't really have much to say.

  14. I only saw one on your list, One Life, and it was an absolute gem. The rest of your list? I'll take your word for it. I am a bit surprised you didn't have anything to say about Horizon one way or another. I think it deserves to be somewhere on the spectrum but that's me.
    1
  15. At least Disney will lose more money, and that is never a bad thing. The fact they keep that kennedy woman around tells you all you need to know about their motives when it comes to movie making, and turning a profit isn't high on the list. The cult must take precedence.

  16. This was one I wish I would have seen at the theater. I'm not really a racing guy but when this one popped up on Amazon I said what the hell and watched it one night. Then I watched it again. Then I bought it on Blue-Ray. For me, it was all about the interaction between Damon and Bale. Yeah, The Drinker is right about holes in the plot and some stuff being a bit contrived but the interplay between Shelby and Miles overcomes all of it. That fight seen on the lawn is epic! It's how you would expect two middle-aged guys a bit out of shape to tussle. I laughed my ass off when Matt Damon hit him with the loaf of Wonder Bread. Highly recommend this one. It's a race movie you don't have to be a race fan to enjoy!

  17. I don't think Tolkien fans are the passive type. Amazon picked a fight with a dug in group and I think the backlash is going to be loud and long, much more so than Wheel of Time or Star Wars. Their SJW allies in the press won't be able to write their way out of this one. I get the feeling name-calling ain't gonna work against this bunch. As for me, when I heard about dwarf baby-mama's, steamy love scenes, and an interracial Shire being part of the plot (even though the Shire wasn't a thing during the period the show is supposed to be set in), well call me close minded but I decided to take a hard pass. If that is the softball stuff they released to test the response to a woke Middle Earth I can only imagine what the stuff they are keeping under wraps looks like. Name call away. I'm just not that interested in watching this mess.

  18. I always say this when I watch a video about this film but I'm compelled to repeat it. This is absolutely not a movie I would have watched even if it was a clean remake. Normally I wouldn't giv two sh*ts about it. But it has taken on a life of its own, the train wreck that keeps on giving, and I'm actually invested in seeing how big the boom will be when it slams into the Earth like that space rock that killed the dino's. Sadly, it won't achieve the complete destruction of disney to make way for a new life form like that killer asteroid did but just like I enjoyed watching Shumaker Levy 9 smash into Jupiter, I gotta see this thing through. Can't wait for the formal review Drinker. I'll go away now and wait.

  19. The final bit of criticism sums up my main problem with it. They stretched a nice little story into a trilogy. If done correctly, it might have made a nice little movie. But we'll never know.

  20. When I was a kid epics like Ben-Hur were all the rage. Epics became mini-series with the advent of TV and that watered down most of them. LOTR is, in my opinion, the last true epic cinematic event, and will probably remain the last. The thing is, it is true to the spirit of the book but the content actually varies quite a bit, and it still works because everyone respected Tolkien's intent when he first told the story. Jackson blew it with the Hobbit, which seemed like a money grab, redeemed himself with They Shall Never Grow Old, then got greedy again and f*cked up Get Back when he took Disney's money and turned what should have been a proper reshoot of Let it Be into what Let it Be was, a f*cking snoorfest. Oh well, he gave us the LOTR trilogy and for that he will always get two thumbs up from me.

  21. Sorry, but the Rocky saga should have ended when Mr. T got his ass whipped. There were no more hills for Rocky to climb and that's where it ended for me. Rocky IV and V were just money grabs for Stallone who, lets be honest, isn't one of the all-time greats when it comes to acting depth and developing characters who aren't from south Philly, Rambo being the only exception and then I only really liked the first one. I watched the first Creed because someone recommended it and as expected it bored me so that was where I stopped. I just tuned into this review because I wanted a dose of the Drinker while I sipped at my coffee. Still waiting for those reviews of Crimson Tide and Outlaw Josie Wales Drinker, or how about the Godfather saga? At this point I have to assume you aren't a fan of any of those so I'll stop asking. Too bad.

  22. I never heard of this mess so I looked it up and somehow it managed to make 13 million at the box office. Now that is a low number depending on how many screens it was released to but the fact this thing made that much money tells you a lot about just how far we have gone down the demonic rabbit hole. You know they nominated this abortion for all those awards as a direct response to Trump winning. It's just like when they awarded obama the nobel peace prize based on what he might do. Lefties love shiny objects and participation trophies and they also love handing them out to people simply as a way to flip the right and every normal person the bird. I'm with you Drinker. I hope they give the f*n thing every award it's up for, especially giving best actress to a man. That just might be the final brick in the bag where the old school liberals say: "Screw this, this sh*t is too heavy to carry around anymore. These people are totally batsh*t. Move over conservatives, we're gonna join ya in that politically homeless camp." At the very least 13 oscars for this demonic pile of dogsh*t would convince the handful of normal people who still watch this garbage self-love-fest to finally admit they've had enough. It would completely disgrace the award, something that has needed to happen for a while, and watching a man in falsies and too much makeup cry as he accepts his best actress award is galactic level karma for all the pretentious dimwitted bimbos who were out front promoting this sick behavior when it was just the young high school and college girls getting the short end of the stick. If it wins no other award, THAT is the one I'm pulling for, just to hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth. It will be their turn to just be good losers in order to promote the cause of inclusiveness and diversity. There could be no greater poetic justice, a cosmic level mic drop. You go girl! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  23. Leave it to the guys at South Park to nail it. I'm not a regular viewer but I'll have to look that one up. It looks like it might be the best once since way back in the day when they did an episode about Cartman and the gang trying to become lesbians because Chef told em the substitute teacher they were crushing on was gay. Gotta love guys who just don't give a sh*t who they piss off.

  24. I think the last time I watched the Oscars was...🤔...fuck, I honestly cant' remember. I know the Jerry Lewis Telethon was still a thing and I think people were talking about some new arcdade game game called Space Invaders. Anyway, my point is, I never was much on slurpfest stuff like the Oscars, Emmy's, or Grammy's, but like The Drinker I love a good movie. When I was a kid it was the only escape we had. There was no internet, no social media, no video games. You climbed tress, played baseball in the summer, football in the fall, and hockey in the winter, all with busted up equipment because you had no money to buy new stuff. But you could occasionally get 75 cents from the old man and go see a show. Or better yet, jump in the car and go to the drive-in as a family. Movies like Patton, Planet of the Apes, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, even creepy shit like The House That Dripped Blood or The Exorcist. Those were the days. Here's to a golden age that maybe never was but I like to think existed. Yeah, my passive voice is pervasive, but so is my nostalgia for days that will never come again. RIP Hollywood, I'm gonna miss ya. 😥

  25. I'm glad I was never a big fan of this series. I imagine watching it being taken apart the way it has hurts people who are. But come one man, it's Disney. Did anyone really expect they would do the right thing? Everything they get their hands on goes to sh*t. They even managed to screw up the Beatles, getting Peter Jackson to take the money and turn what was going to be a two-hour make over of the Let it Be movie that had fans all over the world salivating into an 8-hour snooze fest that took a bunch of material Jackson was going to leave in the can and slapped it in to fill air space. I know one guy who tried to watch it but tuned out after the second episode because it sucked that bad. At least as a trekie I knew when to get off the Starship Enterprise. As for people who still go to Star War movies, may the farce be with you.

  26. Where's that little girls fem-Nazi handler? That woman who was hanging over her shoulder in those other interviews is, to use the parlance of of 2023, totally cringe. I almost expect her to morph into Al Pacino as that little narcist goes off on her rants and say: "Vanity, definitely my favorite sin." I was never a fan of the original Cinderella, even as a kid, because I was a boy and that kind of film wasn't what little boys liked, or at least admitted they liked. But Walt Disney did create a ground breaking film. The only thing that little brat broke was wind. But she did dig a hole big enough to bury the film for all-time. I'd say the odds that movie ever reaches a theater are 1 in 10. Disney just can't afford another flop that will have people mocking them even more than they are already being mocked. South Park will have a field day with that hot mess. No, that little girl is headed to a career modeling jeans or maybe doing dirty movies for a living. Or maybe she'll marry some rich Hollywood exec looking for a trophy wife and end up making guest appearances in Law and Order: SUV. Either way, she has a long way to go before people will find her remotely likeable. If I may borrow from her own lips: "It's cancel culture baby!"

  27. The thing is, the same suburban women who saddled us with biden and drive to target in their minivans with the coexist bumper stickers on them will take their daughters to se this one in droves. This will give Hollywood a desperately needed win and convince them that crap like this can still compete with films like Sound of Freedom and Mission Impossible. Thanks Karen.

  28. I'll take Judy Garland with Toto singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow any day, but that's me. Oh yeah, in her prime, Bette Davis would have kicked any of those broads asses, fair fight or not.

  29. A lot of CGI is cheesy as hell. Some of it looks more like a video game than a film. In the good old days they just blew shit up if that was what they needed. Clear and Present Danger is a classic example. They bought a house from a couple going through a nasty divorce so both of them were good with blowing the place up. But I think it's more about storytelling. And telling decent stories you can take your kid to and not feel like you are committing child abuse. People are tired of gay nonsense and comic book stories. Look at some of the movies that have had the best return lately; Sound of Freedom, Jesus Revolution, Father Stu. And I bet Cabrini is going to do as well or better. As for the writers, they plain old lack life-experience. Life is not what they learned from the commie propagandist in the liberal arts college or what they went through as apprentices on some reality-tv show. The older writers got better as they lived more of their lives. Some 30 year old snot nosed who gets hired because she likes sleeping with women knows...well, that, and not much more. Shit in, shit out. Tell a good story, people will come. In the 1920s power shifted from London, Paris, and New York to Hollywood. Now it is migrating again. That is the nature of capitalism. Will the product improve? Time will tell.

  30. Damn Drinker, around the 1:30 mark it sounds like you are describing MAGA, and it's cheeto jesus who is the embodiment of the establishment now but no one is allowed to say that in "alternative media" as those grifters like to call themselves these days. Come up with a brand, slap a label on it, sell it to the brain-dead who just want the dog-and-pony stuff like owning the libs or the boomers who think trump is going to bring back the steel plants and there ya go, how to lose elections and permanently break a country in seven easy steps. But shhhh...you're not supposed to say that stuff or you are a cuck who loves biden. I guess this show is just a microcosm of the reality-TV world we all live in now. Cool. And it's gay because, well of course it is.

  31. Summed up as only the Drinker can do it. I didn't have any plans to watch this when I first heard about it so I'm not overly bothered. For those who do, have fun.

  32. Here's to the 1100 or so triggered souls who disliked the Drinker's take on remakes and PC corrective actions. May you enjoy your cup of cocoa with Pajama Boy while you hand Tampons to your boyfriends.

  33. I had no plans on watching it but it's fun hearing the Drinker tell it like it oghta be and I needed a good laugh. Thanks Drinker. My day is a bit better for the effort.

  34. Not my bag but you know what, as long as Mario isn't gay and that princess isn't a tranny why not. It's okay for a movie to be fun and wholesome. I seem to remember when that was sort of a rule, at least where kids and families were concerned so have it. Like I say, it's not something I'd go see but if they can make a buck without cursing or sexing up the kids, good on em.

  35. That image of them wearing the force is female tee-shirts actually made me throw up in my mouth. I'll be honest, I was never over the moon for Star Wars. I thought the original trilogy was fine and it should have been left where it was. In my mind the loop was closed. But the big Hollywood studios don't seem to have anyone capable of original thought so now they mostly just recycle and steal and they do it badly and since we can't have nice things in the woke universe you end up with that disgusting picture of the third-wave feminists who critics praise because they are too chicken-shit to do otherwise. But hey, what do I know. I'm just an old white knuckle dragger who writes run-on sentences.

  36. My involvement with video gaming ended at Nintendo 64 so I wouldn't get any game-related inside humor and such. I do have a question though. The Drinker mentioned the head ghoul is a former actor who was a big star before the nuclear war. Fair enough, but he also said the story takes place 200 years after the war ends. So that would make the guy what, 235 years old? How is that dealt with? I dunno, I most likely won't watch so unless someone clues me in here I suppose I'll never know.

  37. "They stimulate your eyes and not your brain and the more it happens, the more audiences start to become jaded and disinterested." So to put it in simpler more concise terms, Hollywood has become a strip club.

  38. "Somehow I don't think Disney would sanction behavior like this." Sorry to challenge you on this one Drinker. See Miley Cyrus. I'll be honest, I saw this movie when it was released and while my friends really liked it I found it to be a bit laborious. I mean, I thought it was okay but I wasn't over the moon about it. It did have moments though and I like Dennis Hopper's character the best. But it did make a mark and the line, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning...it smells like victory," became a metaphor with a lot of different applications for us in the military. That said, after hearing the backstory it has new found respect from me. Thanks for the informative piece Drinker. I had no idea about any of this shit.

  39. Thanks Drinker, I came for my daily fix and discovered you are doing a series. How cool! I will check in regularly because I can't seem to get my notification bell to work for this or most of the channels I subscribe to. But that's a conversation for another day. And thank you for exposing Creed for what it is. I watched it once and saw pretty much the same thing you did. Truth be told, once Rocky kicked Mr. T's ass the Rocky series was finished as far as I was concerned. Mick was dead and Rocky and Apollo were now allies. I figured that was far as I wanted to go. Rocky fighting the Soviets and Don King wannabe's just didn't do it for me. Same with Terminator. I liked 1 & 2 and 3 had the potential to close the loop properly but then they went and cast a pathetic loser as John Conner and made his future Mrs. the brains of the outfit. They were early adopters when it came to the whole I am woman hear me bore thing. And I stopped at three with Star Wars so I didn't see any of that mess. I guess in some ways I'm sort of like Ferris talking to the audience at the end of his day off when it comes to recycling iconic movies. Uh oh, I better watch my mouth before I give someone an idea for Ferris Bueller: the Next Generation. As always, your analysis is spot on. I've already shared this one Drinker and I look forward to the next installment.

  40. I always wondered why it was that a civilization advanced enough to leap frog through the galaxy, overcoming the laws of time, space, and acceleration had attack ships that folded like the Orcs at the gates of Mordor when the mother ship was blown up. And how such an advanced civilization was able to be duped by two guys who hid from them by rolling up the tinted windows in a ship they owned. But, as The Drinker points out, the interplay between Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum is cool and I love that bit where the dog leaps through the air just before everything behind him gets blown to shit. I always found the premise to be way over the top but hey, I like Armageddon even though it has fire in zero oxygen environments and an asteroid the size of Texas flying in at 45,000 MPH+ that Bruce Willis is able to blow up with a single baby nuke. He's right, sometimes you just gotta say fuck the science and enjoy the ride. Great review!

  41. I suppose making a film with the explicit intent of pissing off a segment of the population is to be expected given today's environment of hate and division. Art does reflect life after all. Or is it the other way around? I dunno. But the Drinker makes a good point. Looking at it as something intentional does provide clarity as to motive. What a shame. We are all heading to the edge of the cliff and very few people are asking why we want to jump off.

  42. All the way until the end you are never really sure if JK Simmons is a monster, a genius, a bully, or just a run of the mill a-hole with an over inflated sense of himself. You keep waiting for the great reveal but it never quite gets there. That is what I liked about it anyway. It is an intense movie that's for sure.

  43. I didn't watch the first one and have no intention of watching this. I just needed a good dose of the Drinker on a cold Saturday in December. Happy Christmas as you put it in that side of the pond.

  44.  @foxtayle683  I agree. I like The Lost Battalion very much, another underrated war movie.

  45. Disney's problems run deeper than the guy steering the ship. The development team has been taken over by true believers, and for true believers, the cult matters more than profit. Just like Musk is talking about the need to go nuclear at Twitter and rebuild the entire platform from the studs up, Disney is going to have to come to some sort of reckoning with their employees at all levels, and that means shit-canning all those true believers even if the company has to take it in the shorts for a bit (pun intended). Disney is a brand, and that brand has been damaged. The video of those trendy execs talking about transing their kids and the gay writers taking pride in being able to sneak their views into content where it didn't belong had an effect on parents, most of whom don't want their kids transed up or exposed to girl-on-girl action. But those people don't give two shits because they are the vanguard of a revolution. Wanna fix that? Stop the revolution. That means pink-slips on an epic scale, and probably more than a few lawsuits, but it's gotta happen. Otherwise, some other bright young fella is going to figure out a way to give people what Disney won't. Don't believe me? Ask what's left of team Sears about how Amazon took their empire from them. It was all there before them, but they were wedded to a system and Jeff Bezos said I'll take that thank you very much. Disney is wedded to an ideology. Same same dude. Personally, I could give two dams if Disney goes under now or later but I think it needs killing all the same. I've been saying it for close to 30 years. The rot at Disney started a long time ago. Unlike you Drinker, I do wanna see em fail. But that's me. Okay, I'll go away now.

  47. A very thoughtful and thorough review of one of the greatest movies ever. Rocky has it all. Burgess Meredith was one of the finest yet underrated character actors of all time as any fan of the Twilight Zone reruns will tell you and he is perfect as Mick. Burt Young gives a great performance as Paulie. I think everyone has had a Paulie in their life, a guy who is a bit of a loser and gripes a lot but is basically harmless. Carl Weathers was perfect as Apollo (I guess they wanted to use Ken Norton but it didn't work out) and like it did with Mr. T Rocky gave his career a boost. My favorite scene is when Rocky lands the haymaker and puts Apollo on his ass. The look on his face as he's lying on the ring says it all. Right then he discovered there was a lot more to Rocky than meets the eye. But this is a love story at the heart of it and Sylvester Stallone and Talia Shire are beyond great as Adrian and Rocky. I remember years ago I had a few too many and got into a bit of a fisticuff with one of the guys in the military barracks I was living in at the time (a drunken disagreement over music and its proper volume in mixed company). Anyway, the fight ended in a draw but I did get a pretty good shiner for my trouble. So, the next day, we are having this big award ceremony with Generals and Admirals and the like in attendance and I try to maintain a low profile as I arrive, not wanting any attention drawn to my eye. Well, buddies will be buddies, and my friends all stood up in the back and started yelling, "Adrian...Adrian..." I tell ya, it made hiding that shiner a bit more complicated than it needed to be. That's the thing about Rocky though. Everyone can relate to it in one way or another. I have yet to find someone who didn't like it and I suppose if I did it would be a red flag. I still think the character came full circle when he whipped Mr. T's ass but the other movies have done well so I guess I'm in the minority. But here's to Rocky and Adrian. I'm watching this review on Thanksgiving which is appropriate. If Tampa had an ice rink I might go for a skate before they closed.

  48. That was a good troll Drinker. Ya almost had me tearing up and thinking about an online tribute/memorial no one would look at. Now how about reviewing a few more of the old classics like Outlaw Josie Wales, On the Waterfront, or countless others younger audiences may not be familiar with. It sure would be better time spent than watching Barbie.

  49. Sure, she is parroting lines fem-nazi's like her handler standing next to her have taught her since she was able to burp on her own, but she also believes all of it. You give her too much credit Drinker. See, I think her head is too empty to actually engage in discernment and reason. The good thing is, this little poster child for the woke spoiled suburban gen-z crowd is acting like such a little narcistic bitch that she's setting herself up to be the fall-girl disney can blame everything on when this movie makes like 38 bucks and change at most theaters. The blame it on the audience trope is falling faster than the strong female character so disney will need to have something or someone to pin this disaster on when the stockholders start calling for scalps. Enter little miss entitled spoiled little brat. They'll say she did such a hatchet job on her own film that no amount of salve could have fixed the boo-boo. Hopefully, if there is two functioning brain cells in that septic tank called hollywood, this will be the last time we have to endure her obnoxious lectures to the unwashed masses because her days in actual movies will come to an end. She'll make the rounds of shows like the view and oprah might toss her a bone and let her weep on her couch over the way the man has kept her down and punished her for being brave or something but no studio will let the little twit anywhere near an actual film. Maybe she goes the porno route, or does commercials for taco bell. Most likely she'll marry some rich guy who just wants a cute little piece he can show off to his buddies as he bangs whoever he wants on the side. Am I being bitter? Probably, but I'm old, I'm tired, and I've had it to here with 20 somethings trashing everything older than them because history only began when they came into existence. disney is dying, and their demise can't come fast enough.

  50. I have conversations with people who don't exist all the time. Doesn't everybody? 🤔On a more serious note, they didn't actually put in a plug for preferred pronouns using a robot did they? This mania has infected every aspect of life like the bubonic plague.
