Reply to Hot take: Taxi Driver (in my opinion) is bad by [deleted]

I also think that Travis is played a little too crazy in the beginning, rather than gradually lose his mind, going from perfect sanity to madness.

Nevertheless, I think he's much more sympathetic and pitiable than Patrick Bateman, and that's really what makes the film.

Reply to comment by Buhos_En_Pantelones in I watched One Cut of the Dead and fully didn’t realize there was a second part to the movie, and thought it was just a quick movie by StayWinning100x

Agreed! It was pretty solid. I wish people weren’t being so hostile about a silly mistake, but I mean I watched two movies back to back and was tired.

I thought it was going to be a straight forward horror movie. I was very surprised that it’s also a comedy.

Reply to Rotten Tomatoes is the most rudimentary dumb rating system available by Adventurous_Buffalo6

The problem is you not understanding how Rotten Tomatoes works. If a hundred critics saw a movie and 60 did not like, Rotten Tomatoes said 40 percent. It means 40 critics liked a movie. It is not a fucking grade like high school and doesn't represent overall quality of said endeavor. It also doesn't mean you can't like something critics did not.

Furthermore, critics don't need to justify their existence when you disagree with them. That is an annoying side effect of this argument. "I disagree with the critics on said movie, and because I'm the only one with a brain, the critics are wrong. Therefore, they don't need to have a job."

Have you ever thought you are in the wrong if you like something critics didn't? You obviously like garbage and they don't.

The year is 2023. Influenza still exists. And in the year 2100, Covid will still exist. The thing is, we don’t care anymore; it’s not effecting 99.9% of us, and those that are threatened by it can take precautions, such as regular vaccinations and even wearing a mask. They’ve got that freedom.

No, you’re wrong, realistically they ALL got it, they just didn’t know it. The vast majority of Covid cases are asymptomatic and harmless. The whole country’s had Covid at this point, and we’ve fully achieved both vaccination immunity and general herd immunity, including people who never got vaccinated.

Pandemic’s over. It’s been over for quite a while.

There's a LOT of PR involvement in all of this kind of stuff and images heavily edited or excluded if the PR guys think it might get a bad reaction. Not even masks, even down to the balance of individuals, or how the layout might appear - e.g. imagine a picture where you have an all-white crew standing around giving directions to a black actor who's on his knees.

Absolutely absurd dumb shit that only idiots would make a drama about. But in Hollywood they try to be meticulous about this stuff.

So likewise with maintaining the use of masks and vaccines well beyond the point of necessity. The concern is all about whether pictures and reports of people not wearing masks will reflect badly on the industry, not whether it's necessary.
