Didn't realize seeing a film based on a score being high or low was 'standing up' to anything any more than folks deciding not to see a film is them standing up to a director they've never met or interacted with to stick it to them for stuff they've done.
Then again, we're all just big internet tough guys and gals on a superhero forum in the end.
Yeah. I mean I'm not seeing the movie because of O Russell and his repeated bad behavior and allegations but it's gotten really tiring on the Hype especially and parts of the net in general the amount of grand standing due to the large amount of hypocrisy and choosing battles.
I get not seeing something because of problematic stuff but a lot of these same people who make a big deal of "I'm not going to consume (
insert product or media here) because (
insert problematic thing here)" will go around and for example watch the NFL (sexism, homophobia, racism), eat at Chick Fil A (homophobia), listen to Eminem (homophobia, sexism,
domestic violence), and/or watch Tom Hardy (
physically intimidating a woman and general jerkiness on multiple sets) which is just silly and weird. The number of people who say they won't listen to Chris Brown and make a big fuss of it but then will listen to multiple known abusers is insane.
And I'm a hypocrite too. Like I won't watch this movie but of course I've watched movies or listen to music by people who are known to be "bad." I'm not trying to be holier than thou...but I just don't get why pat yourself on the back or try and make it out like your doing something special or dunking on a problematic person (particularly online) especially when these same people patting themselves on the back will support things like Disney, Amazon, or some of the things I mentioned above which are just a problematic, if not moreso, than a lot of these actors people think they're "standing up" against.
Again I'm not watching this and I get why others don't and this isn't me trying to be one of the those "who cares separate the artist from the art" people. But the grandstanding and "dunking" on the movie is just silly.
Pretty much.
I can't remember the last time I used RT to make a decision on whether or not I see a movie.
Never understood this either. Every time a movie comes out and is getting a bad RT score some people always want to pat themselves on the back on why they don't care about RT or how they make up their own minds.
It's just like
...but it is what it is
