We have all women/all black movies, too. Friday was awesome. All three of them. Bridesmaids was pretty damn funny.
agreed. we do. and we can have more and it shouldn't be a big deal.
So why does the media constantly want to talk about it? Tyler Perry made all black movies 50 fuckin' times and didn't announce to the world how inclusive in race he wanted to be. Just make movies with black people. You don't need to explain why whitey isn't involved. And don't slam whitey if he doesn't like it, BRIE...

(unless it means supporting a living criminal, cause i don't want you to throw that back at me. :P)
You gonna ask me this, knowing full well I've been shitting on Marvel for being boring for years, long before the political shit started becoming obvious? :p

It was at 8.3 when early reviews opened up and around 90-something on RT before Mule trolls dragged it down. I mentioned this double standard from RT regarding Captain Marvel to Headuardo, the other day.

It was as low as I believe 29% before it was temporarily removed from their site completely, then brought back with a higher score.
I'm sure that was a totally legit 29%.
Very likely not, but they went out of their way to hide the deleted reviews. Could've just said they removed trollee reviews and made a list of the ones they deleted. Pretty easy, and no controversy needed. The hypocrisy here is Rotten Tomatoes didn't remove any of those trollee comments for The Mule before it was ever released. Clint Eastwood has garnered a hateful cult following after supporting Romney in 2012 and saying millennials are fuckin' snowflakes. lol. It is hypocrisy, and a blatant double standard. But this goes on in the every day world of liberal manipulation in news media and Hollyweird.
i really don't want to rehash the whole captain marvel is being bought up argument again. forgive me. :P

why do they have to defend it too? why does casting an asian woman in star wars mean that she gets death threats? again, i hope that we can get to a point where casting a certain type of person (or type of people) doesn't become a huge deal.

well, then let's discuss the lack of quality in the film, rather than the actress' mouth or ass? :P

You're not missing much. It's more of a retread of the first film than Escape from LA was to NY lol. I only loved the first Hangover.

A tad, but I wonder if it wouldn't have it there were no sequels.

Yeah. Sometimes less is more. Imagine Dumb & Dumber plopping out two sequels back-to-back in a span of 3 or 4 years.
